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.

John Golden says a fortune can be made out of clean plays. Now

Somehow we sort of regret that the price of stamps didn't go up
to three cents. It would have been such a splendid excuse for not
writing letters.

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.
