BURGESS BEDTIME STORIES
- By THORNTON W. BIROESS. -
Tn moment* of the greatest fright
’Til wisest sometime* to sit right.
—Old Mother Nature.
Mr. Mocker Gives Warning.
Danny ami Nanny Meadow Mouse
watched Salamander the Gopher stun
the great pockets of his cheeks with
grass, lie stuffed it in with his paws,
but he did it so quickly that they
could hardly see how it was done.
I They were so Interested that they
forgot everything else. They forgot
that they were in a land strange to
them. They forgot that there might
be such a thing as danger.
Suddenly Mr. Moc ker the Mocking
bird began to scream in great excite
ment. "Snake, snake, snake!" he
screamed.
At Mr. Mocker* first cry ft ■ In man
der turned with surprising quickness,
and before Danny amWvinny really
understood what Mr. Mocker was
saying Salamander disappeared in bis
little mound of sand. Then they real
ized what that cry of warning meant
of course, their first thought was to
run. Hut where should they run ♦
They didn't even know where that
snake was. They might run right in
to his mouth. Befot% they could make
up their minds whieii way to run they
saw him, and then they were too
frightened to run at all. Yes sir. they
were too frightened to run at all,
which, as it happened, was just as
well.__
N'. ver had they dreamed that there
could lie such a big Snake. Beside
him Mr. Blacksnake, whom they knew
so well, would have looked small. At
first glance he looked very much like
Mr. Blacksnake grown very much
bigger. Rut when the sunlight fell
full on hint his body glittered with a
bluish tint and they saw that his

linn ami throat, instead of being
white, as in tite ease of Mr. Black
snake, was reddish. It was Mr. tio
pher Snake, lie is also called Indigo
Snake, because of the bluish tint of
Ills shining coat. He really is a very
handsome fellow.
But'' Danny and Nanny saw no
bearfty in him. To them he was ter
rible, for they'knew ho would enjoy
nothing more than dining on a couple
of fat Meadow Mice. They didn’t
breathe. They were too frightened to
breathe. They squatted close to the
ground, as motionless as two little
stones They were so frightened they
couldn't have moved to save their
lives.
Never had they dreamed that there
cotild be such a big Snake.
But Mr. Gopher Snake didn’t see
them, lie had seen Salamander, and
now he glided straight for that little
sand pile of Salamander's. Uanny
and Nanny wondered if he would go
in after Salamander. But he didn't.
No sir, he didn't. For a moment or
two he acted as if in a tad temper.

DEVELOP INTO
PNEUMONIA
Chronic coughs and persistent colds
lead to serious lung trouble. You
can stop them now with Creomulsion,
an emulsified creosote that is pleas
ant to take. Creonvulsion is a r.ew
medical discovery with twofold a<
tion; it soothes and heals the inflamed
tnembrances and kills the germ.
Of all known drugs, creosote is
recognized by the medical fraternity
as the greatest healing agency for
the treatment of chronic coughs and
colds and other forms of throat and
lung troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing
elements which soothe and heal the
inflamed membranes and stop the irri
tation and inflammation, while the
creosote goes on to the stomach, is
absorbed into the blood, attacks the
seat of the trouble and destroys the
germs that lead to consumption.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac
tory in the treatment of chronic
coughs and colds, bronchial asthma,
ft t
of throat and lung diseases; and Is
excellent for building up the system
after -Ids or the flu. Money refund

how long standing, is not relieved

of hi* voice. "Oh." s-.hl.ed Nanny
“1 wish I were hack home."
"1 don't," said Danny stoutlj'. "But „
I do wonder why he didn't go down
after Salamander."
1 Had Danny gone over to that little
mound of sand he would have found
out why. There was no doorway.
Salamander had closed hi« door by
parking it full of sand from under
