12 THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 21. 1921. SLEEPY - TIME TALES I THE TALE OF GRUNTY PIG BYAJvTHUR SCOTT BAlLtli CHATTER XVI. Jolly Robin and his wife were ter ribly worried. Grunty fig meant to uproot tlie apple tree where they l:ad their-nest. Every day lie cam and dug at the foot of the ticc. Every day, just before lie went away, he looked up at them and said, "I hope you'll sleep well to night. You'd better enjoy your More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J. MONTAGUE- "I hope you'll steep well to-night home while you have it, for the tree i will be flat on the ground before fall. Sleep Mrs. Robin complained that she never had a good night's rest any more. She said that she had bad dreams. She dreamed that i the tree was falling. And tnen she was sure to wake up with r. start. And her husband wasn't there to calm her, because he was roosting in a thicket over in the pasture wi'.h their first brood of the season.- They both agreed Jolly and his wife that they must get their sec ond brood of children ;out of the nest as soon as they couKI. "The moment they're old enough, we must teach them to fly," Mrs. Kobin told her husband. "Yesl" he said. "And we'll have to be careful of them, tro. with all these seven young porkers ii' the orchard." "Suppose " said Mrs. Robin-'' suppose ' Grunty Fig should bring our tree toppling to the ground be fore the children leave the nest!" "Oh!.. There's no danger of that," Jolly assured her. She was always looking on the dark side of things. But lie cliun t tell ner so. "I don't know how we're goin.3 to be sure the children are safe," Mrs. Robin continued. "How long do you think it will take Grunty Pig to uproot our tree?" Jolly Robin had to confess that he couldn't answer his wife's question. "Then ask somebody who knows something about such matters!" Mrs. Robin cried. And there was a tart note in her voice that made Jolly Robin say hastily, "Yes! Yes. my dear!. I'll go right now and find an answer to your question." Off he flew. Ar.d not knowing where else to go, he sat dov.n on a bush in .Farmer Green's garden, to ponder. Who could tell him how THE ORPHANS Xo one washes Willie's face Or brushes Molly's hair, The baby's clothes are a disgrace Yet no one seems to care. The food is on the pantry shelf Cold meat and baker's bread And every one must help himself Before. he goes to bed. The family's going to the deuce But mother doesn't know Besides, she has a good excuse Tor golf fatigues one so! At first she wasn't sure or not If she could ever play And then she got a smashing shot And now she's gone all day. She's taken lessons of the pro, He's making her a spoon. She says she'll play the course below Jim Barnes'es record soon. Though all the neighbors marvel how The family can thrive, .That makes but little difference now . That mother's learned to drive. What time she isn't on the links That's little, goodness knows The only things she talks or thinks Are of her golfing clothes. She says that Father is a dub (He plays in eighty-four) He ought to join a classier club " And ' learn to make a score. Every one declares the way She treats us is a shame, But what's the difference what they say Since mother learned the game? Jewel, Flower, Color Symbols for Today By MILDRED MARSHALL. The sapphir is both, the talis manic gem and the natal stone for today. Blessed by the gods, it brings riches to men, and insures for women the faithfulness of those they love. Indeed, it was supposed by tlie ancients to lose its color as an indication of unfaithfulness., Today's color is dark blue, which is significant of wisdom and clear thinking. The clematis blossom is today's flower. (Copyright. Wheeler Syndicate, Ina ) .-AH- JEV- B ' MADE EVERY DAY. Anyway the whisky we are getting is much fresher than.it used to be.

And right before his Parents' Problems How can stubbornness in'a child be overcome? - One of the best ways of over coming stubbornness in a child is nonresistance, coupled, w ith sugges tion. I saw a good, example, of this the other day. A little bOy'and his mother were sitting on the front piazzza. "It's time to go in now," the mother said presently. "I am not going now," the little boy . said stubbornly. "Aren't you?" the mothr er said, quietly rising. "Well, I am." She went in; and in a moment the little boy rose and followed her.
