BURGESS BEDTIME STORIES
- By THORNTON W. BURGESS. -
Familiar things, ’tie very queer.
Cannot for long Inspire fear.
—Old Mother Nature.
Curious Though Timid.
For several days that man-bird re
trained on the Green Meadows near
Farmer Brown's cornfield. Not once
did It bo up In the air. The aviator
came down to It every day. and usu
ally Farmer Brown's Boy came with
him. They worked on the machine,
and of course all the little people who
saw them were very curious.
Now when you see a thing long
enough you become used to It, and If
you have been afraid of It you little
by little lose that fear. It was this
way with Nanny Meadow Mouse. As
she grew less afraid of It she grew
more curious about It. Finally she
ventured to go over near It In the
night with Danny Meadow Mouse.
But she wouldn't climb up In It. She
even tried to stop Danny from climb
ing up In It. But Danny had no fear
of It, and in spile of all she could do
he did climb up in it. When he came
down again he brought her some de
licious food, and he told her that
there was plchty more up there If she
would only come and get It. You see
that aviator hadn't forgotten his little
friend. He felt sure th»t Danny
would return to the airplane, and bo
he always left food there,
Danny told Nanny all about the In
side of that man-bird, and Nanny
grew more and more curious. She
Just ached to go with Danny and see
It. Rut she was too timid. She Just
couldn't trust herself In that man

less. But she couldn't keep away
from It. Kven In the daytime she
would steal over where she could
look at the great man-bird and think
about all the wonderful things that
Danny had told her of his Journey In
it.
Danny came and went as he
pleased. He had no fear at all. He
was getting fat with the good living
which he didn't have to work for.
But do what he would he couldn’t get
Nanny to come up Inside with him.
Not even curiosity and the desire for
good things to eat could overcome

get how Danny had been carried
away. Even though he had been
brought back, ahe couldn’t bring her
self to trust that man-bird.
Now all this time the aviator had
been keeping a sharp watch. He
knew', of course, that Danny had been
making daily visits to that airplane.
He knew it because the food kept
disappearing. Once or twice he
caught a glimpse of Danny scamper
ing along one of his private little
paths in the grass. Then one day he
spied Nanny peeping out at him from
a little clump of grass. He knew it
wasn't Danny because Danny had
Just disappeared in another direction.
That afternoon when he left, the
aviator left some food on the ground
under that airplane. That night
Nanny had a feast. After that she
looked for food there every day after
the avaitor and Farmer Brown's Boy
had left, and never was she disap
I>ofnted. She, too. began to grow fat.

Window Shopping
Close fitting hats of felt that have,
an allover pattern made by stitching
on bits of contrasting felt make the
most serviceable and becoming sport
hats. They come in many color com
binations.
Very small Chinese rugs, suitable
for floor cushions or foot stools, are j
on sale at one of the shops. They
come in the most lovely tones of j
beige, henna, gold and black.
A lounging robe of much charm is
built on the lines of the useful pa
jama. It is made of black satin with
much Chinese embroidery in gold ani
pale yellow.
For cool mornings and evenings a
knitted kimono of lavender with a^
conventional design of black and yel
low worked In the long collar and
cuffs will prove a most useful pur
chase.
For the woman who likes to make
her Christmas presents the shops
are showing nightgown tops of real
cluny carefully put together and
ready to be set on.
Accessories for the bedroom of black
taffeta, gold lace and braid, and old
rose flowers, are most effective. Scrap
baskets, trays and toilet articles are
all covered with tbe bl$ck taffeta.
\\ hen Away From Home.
Plants can be kept fresh while the
house Is shut up by placing in a line
tub as many bricks as there are flow
er pots. Put enough water Into the
tub to cover the bricks and then
stand a plant on each. The bricks
will absorb enough water to keep the
plants In good condition for a long
time.
Remove Grpase.
A paste of Fuller's earth and am
monia spread over grease spots on
rugs and allowed to dry will take
out the grease in a jiffy. Sweep the
dried paste always with a broom.
Good for Mother and Son.
The wise mother has a grocery box
in which sonny packs away his toys
each night before he goes to bed.
Then the box can be put away and

Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tabled
Get at the Cause and
Remove It.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablet!, the sub
stitute for calomel/ act gently on the
bowels and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through Dr. Edwards’ Olive
Tablets. The pleasant, sugar-coated tab
lets sre taken for bad breath by all wbo
know them.
Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets act gently
but firmly on the bowels and liver, stimu
lating them to natural action, clearing the
blood and gently purifying the entire sys
tem. They do that which dangerous
calomel does without any of the bad after
effects.
All the benefit! . of nasty, sickening,
griping cathartics are derived from
Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets without grip
ing pain or any disagreeable effects.
Dr F. M Edward* discovered the
formula after seventeen years of practice
among patients afflicted with bowel and
liver complaint, with the attendant bad
breath.
Olive Tablets are purely a vegetable
compound mixed with olive oil; you will
know them by tbeir olive color. Take
one or two every night for a week and
note the effect- 15c and 30c.
