THE TALE OF

BAILEYJ
CHAPTER VIII
In tbe Cornfield.
In one way, especially, Fatty Coon
and Dickie Deer Mouse were alike:
They were night-prowlers. When
they slept it waj usually broad day
light outside, and the birds except
&
'Stop! StopTFatta Coon called
after him.
for a few odd fellows like Willie
Whip-poor-will and Mr. Night
Hawk were abroad, and singing,
and twittering. And when most of
the birds went to sleep Dickie and
Fatty Coon began to feel quite wide
awake.
It was not strange, therefore, that
Dickie Deer , Mouse was surprised
when he found himself face to face
with Fatty Coon in the cornfield at
midday.
Dickie tried to slip out of sight
under a pumpkin vine that grew be
tween the rows; but Fatty Coon
saw him before he could hide. And
Fatty began to make the queerest
noise, as if he were almost choking.
Dickie Deer Mouse stopped. And
he trembled the least bit; for Fatty
looked terribly, fierce. Perhaps
(Dickie thought) he was choking
with rage.
"Can .1 help you?" Dickie asked
him. , "Would you like me to thump
you on the back?"
Fatty Coon shook his head. There
was nothing the matter with him, ex
cept that he had stuffed his mouth
so full that he couldn't speak, After
swallowing several times he wiped
his mouth on the back of his paw
a habit of which his mother had
never been able to break him. It
was no wonder that dainty Dickie
Deer Mouse shuddered again, when
Fatty did that.
"May I go and get you a napkin?"
Dickie asked, as he edged away.
"No!" Fatty Coon growled. "IVe
been wanting to have a talk with
you. And now that I've found you,
you needn't run off."
Then, to Dickie's horror, Fatty
stopped talking and licked both his
paws.
"May I get you a finger bowl?"
Dickie inquired.
, Fatty Coon actually didn't know
what he meant.
"Is that something to eat?" he
asked And he looked much inter
ested, and seemed quite downcast
when Dickie said "Nol"
"Then you needn't trouble your
self," Fatty Coon told him with a
sigh.
"Can't you find corn enough for a
good meal?" Dickie asked him wo,n
deringly. , "I could," said Fatty Coon, "if
other people didn't take so much of
it . . . Now, there's Mr. Crow," he
complained. "I had to get out of
bed and come over here today, in the
sunlight, because I was afraid he
wouldn't leave any corn for me.
"There's no use saying anything
to him," Fatty continued, "because
he thinks this is his cornfield. . . .
But little chaps like you will have
to keep away from this place. . . .
Now I've warned you," he added.
"And if I hear of your eating any
more corn I'll come straight to your
house when, I find out where it is
and I'll"
' He did not finish his threat. But
he looked so darkly at Dickie that
what he didn't say made Dickie Deer
Mouse shiver all over, though the
warm mid-day suu fell upon the corn
field. Now, Dickie Deer Mouse hadn t
eaten a single kernel of corn all that
dav. But he suddenly lost his ap
petite for it! and murmuring a faint
good-bye he turned and ran for the
woods as fast as he could go.
"Stool Stool" Fatty Coon called
after him. "There's something more
I want to say to you."
But whatever 'it may have been,
Dickie Deer Mouse did not wait to
hear it

More Truth Than Poetry
: By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
THE FABLE OF THE SCREEN LION.
Bajah was a modest and a simple-hearted lion,
When he prowled the hot and sandy Afrie plain,
s friendly and as folksy as our William Jennings Bryn,
In the season of a national campaign. ..... ,
Though his paw could fell a rhno, he was never swelled with pride,
Nor elated with his majesty and might
He was nice to other creatures, and he sedulously tried
To be plain and democratic and polite.
Then a trapper came and caught him in a most ingenious net,
And they clapped him in a cage and on a train,
And he woke a little later on a ship whose course was set
Far across the strange and wildly rolling main.
He was troubled with foreboding, he was sick and faint with grid,
But he bore it as an honest lion should,
And his temper still was jovial, when to his intense relief
He was landed in a den at Hollywood.
There they petted him and trained him, there they taught him clever blunt
Which he learned with easy readiness and tact,
And about a six-month later, he discovered, all at once
That the populace was wild to see him act. .
Then his disposition altered then he got a whacking side
And developed an ungovernable rage
(Which, in lions, is a drawback) if another actor tried
To appear, while he was posing, on the stage.
Now he's prideful and top-lofty, now his face is one large sneer,
He's impatient when they tell him how to pose, .
And although he has no language, his demeanor makes it clear
That he thinks he really ought to write his shows.
Runs the moral to this fable: "Be contented where you are,
Though we all possess the natural ambition
To be featured, if we can be, as a moving picture star.
Yet success can spoil the nicest disposition!
SAFETY FIRST.
Apparently Mr. Harding doesn't want to put Mr. Taft on the Supreme
Court Bench till the carpenters can put a few shores under it.
WHY NOT MEDIATE?
What we cannot understand is what these fellows, Dempsey and
Carpentier, hav got against each other?
LEAVING OUT THE BEST ARGUMENT.
The coal operators are doing everything they possibly can to get us
to buy our fuel now with the trifling exception of putting the price where
we can reach it. '

How to Be Efficient.
In order to be 100 per cent effi
cient it Is necessary to know how
to rest and how to relax at will.
It takes lots of energy to be at
one's best all day.
There must be periodic rest to
keep or produce energy.
If the rest is not forthcoming at
regular intervals you cannot long
remain a full power machine.
When you are at leisure to get en
tertainment or exercise do you keep
up your recreation at full tilt and in
just as tense manner as you work?
In other words do you work and
play so hard that you never are real
ly rested never are really "let
down" and at ease and able to
browse around if you choose?
If you reach your place of em
ployment so tired from your stren
uous effort to enjoy yourself in spare
time that you cannot produce what
you should or what you are paid to
do your recreation is all wrong.
Out-door life is fine and healthful,
but absolute rest is also an essential
to recuperation.
The restless energy which must
have something doing every minute
wears you out and every one who is
closely associated with you, and the
sooner you get to understand mod
eration even in enjoyment the longer
you will be efficient. ' f

WHY-
Are Totem Poles Used by Indians.
While the totem poles, which are
still to be found on the villages of
Indians in many parts of North
America, appear to be a form of idol,
they are really nothing more than a
sign-post or location of the name of
the families residing there for the
carvings with which they arc decorat
ed indicate crudely but effectively the
titles by which these families ar
known.
Just as the inhabitants of Europe
overcame the handicap of a growing
population by adopting names which
signified their occupation or place of
residence, the North American In
dians took the names of the different
animals which they hunted or some
other outstanding characteristic of
their life. One family, for example,
would be known as the "Bears" and
then, for the further purpose of dif
ferentiation, the individuals would be
called "Black Bear," "Growling
Bear," "Angry Bear" and the like.
The name of the animal itself would
be the title of the tribe and the dif
ferent species would indicate the
separate members, carvings on the
"totems" or "Family tokens"
showing at a glance which of these
resided within a village, though
usually only the chiefs attained this
honor. ,

With the Goal in Sight Get Second Payments
The final test of the staying powers of Help
(Yourself Club members is at hand. Shall you stay?
Many changes in positions of candidates will
be noticed when the list is next changed. There
will be only one more change until the final
announcement of votes, is made. Where will your
score place you? Have you. been working hard
enough to hold your ground? Many mem
bers have.
If you have a good position now you may be
sure of one thing and that is there are other mem
bers working hard to get that good position of
yours. We do not know any member who is so far
ahead of the rest of the members that he or she
can afford to rest easy this week. Protect your
position. Courage and hustle are the two things
most members need right now. Votes win the
awards and the wise member will add the greatest
possible amount of votes to their scores during the
remaining four days of the Campaign.
THE CAMPAIGN CLOSES AT 10:00 P. M.
SATURDAY, JUNE 25th
Pay no attention to the wild rumors flying
around of what so-and-so has done. These rumors
have but one object in view and that is to dis
courage other members. The fellow who makes
the most noise seldom travels fastest. You know
whether you have earnestly tried for an award,
and if you have it would be very foolish to let any
body talk you out of it at this stage of the
Campaign ,
KEEP AFTER SECOND PAYMENTS
They mean additional votes. Every subscriber
who has given you or any other member a pay
ment of less than $25.50 is a prospect for a second
payment. Many members are taking advantage
of this offer and finding it brings big returns.
Here Are a Few Illustrations:.
A $2.00 EXTENSION OF A NEW $2,00 CAMPAIGN SUBSCRIPTION IS GOOD FOR 12,000 VOTES
A New 'Subscriber Paid $4.00
We allowed you 22,000 votes for this payment. If you can get this same subscriber to
pay you $3.50 more we will allow you 62,000 Regular Votes (which is the number given tor
a $7.50 payment) less the 22,000 which was granted on the first payment, or a total ot
' ' 40,000 on this second payment of $3.50. The subscriber will then get the paper tor a year.
A New Subscriber Paid $7.50
We allowed you 62,000 regular votes. If you can get this same subscriber to pay you
$7.50 more we will allow you 136,000 Regular Votes (which is the number allowed for a
$15.00 payment) less the 62,000 which was granted on the first payment of $7.50, or a total
of 74,000 votes on this second payment of $7.50. Any subscriber making a second payment
will not be sent two papers, but his subscription credit will be extended.
If the First and Second Payments for any subscription total $7.50, the two payments are good for
62,000 votes. The Second Payment receives 62,000 votes, less the number of votes granted for the
If SETftat Jind Second Payments for any subscriptfon total $10.20 the two payments ; are : good for
76,000 votes. .To find the number of votes the Second Payment receives, pvS
granted on the First Payment from the number the total subscription is given m List of Vote Values.
This is the rule regarding all Second Payments. , , , ..pWntmTi'
You can take a Second Payment either on your own or any other club member s subscription.
