Hardin* visltrd Omaha on October 7. 1920, while on a campaign tour with her husband, then United States senator and nomi nee for president. Without any apparent effort, Mrs. Hardily endeared herself to all with whom she came in contact. She was endowed with good cheer, tact, a love for all good and beautiful things. The special train hearing the Hard ing party arrived at Des Moines about 8 a. m. Mrs. Harding stepped from her car and greeted the newspaper men and others along the platform with "Good morning, everyone." "We love her,” remarked an east ern newspaper man to one of the Omahans in Des Moines to meet the train. Her smile and lovely nature radiated to all around her. Message to Omaha Women.

Why Old Man Coyote Got No Beaver Dinner. Old Man Coyote, his eyes glistening and his mouth watering, crouched in a clump of ferns and watched Paddy the Beaver and Mra. Paddy come up from their pond to a tree just s little way from where he was hiding. He fairly trembled with eagerness. That Paddy and Mr*. Paddy Came Slowly up From the Water. tree was an aspen tree. Aspen hark is the favorite food of Paddy and Mr*. Paddy. The tree was already nearly cut through. It was clear that Paddy and Mr*. Paddy were coming up to finish the Job. It W’a* all Old Man Coyote could do to remain In hiding, but he knew that he must wait until the unsus pecting Beavers were at work. Then he would have a better chance to catch one of them. Just now they were too watchful. He muet wait until they had made up their minds that all waa safe. | Paddy and Mrs. Paddy rame slowly up from the water. When they peached that tree they stopped. While Paddy carefully examined the tree Where they had been cutting It Mr*, baddy sat testing the Little Night Freezes with her nose for any tell tale scent of enemies they might oarry. Fortunately fop Old Man Coyote none of the Little Night freezes had passed his way. Of course, Mrs. Paddy didn't smell him I Paddy sat up, put hi* hands on the tree and went to work with hi* gneat teeth. Vie bit out big chips. But. Mrs. Paddy didn't go to help him. She still sat there, testing the Ll|tle Night Breeze* and looking snd listening. Old Man Coyote lm patently wondered why she didn't alga go to' work. He wouldn't dare move until she did. Ilia wondering ws* brought to * suaden end by a stal l ling thump on the: ground. Paddy had slapped the ground hard wllh that big. flat tail of Ills. It waa a aignal to Mrs. Pad dy to watch out. Paddy himself had run toward the pond an Instant af ter giving the aignal. Then there was j a cracking snd snapping, and before Old Man Coyote underslodd whai was happening that tree came down with a crash straight Into that clump of ferns'. It |waa well for Old Mnn Coyote that that tree was not taller and bigger- A* It was, only the slender top struck him. But that, struck hard enough to hurt. It stung It was like feting struck wltb a whip Mr*. Florence Kling Harding. And some of the small branches slapped Old Man Coyote across the face. With a yelp of surprise and pain Old Man Coyote scrambled to his feet. He was just In time to see Paddy and Mrs. Faddy plunge Into the water. Of course they had hgard him yelp, and they hadn't stopped a second. They understood perfectlv what had happened. Paddy chuckled. "That tree fell in just the right place," said he. "1 wanted it to fall in that clump of ferns, but I didn't have any idea that Old Man Coyote was hiding tiherr. It is a lucky thing for us. my dear, that that tree fell just where It did." But Old Man Coyote didn't feel that It was lucky. No Indeed. Sore, dis appointed and angry—for disappoint ment often makes people angry—Old Man Coyote sneaked away. He would have to be satisfied with Mice In stead of Beaver for dinner. What Is more, he knew that from now on he would have little chance of catch ing either Paddy or Mrs. Beaver. They would he constantly on the watch for him. (Copyright, 1>24.) The next atory: "Talkjng Things Over." Fire Damages Shops.
