Y-T I ME TALES
THE TALE OF
TURKEY
PROUDFOOT
BY ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY
Cl I A ITER I.
A Strutter.
All the hen turkeys thought Tur
Key rroudtoot a wonderful creature.
Thry said he bad the most beautiful
lull on the farm. When lie spread It
'and strutted about Farmer Green'
l-lace the Ian turkeys were ure to
nudge one another and say, "Ahem I
In't he eli-Kant?"
Dut the rest of the farmyard folk
nude quite different remarks about
him. They (lectured Turkey Proud
fcot to be silly, vain gobbler, who
wan both noisy and quarrelsome.
Now, there wag truth in what
everybody thought and said about
till lordly person, Turkey l'roud
foot. He did have a huge tail, when
lie chose to spread it; and hii feath
ers shone with a greenish, coppery,
bronzy glitter that might easily have
f.irned the head of anybody ' that
boasted such beautiful colors. Cer
tainly the hen turkeys turned their
heads and craned their necks
whenever Turkey Proudfoot came
near them. And when he spoke to
them, saying "Gobble, gobble, gob
ble!" in a loud tone, they were al.
way mightily pleased,
' The hen turkeys seemed to find
that remark, "Gobble, gobble, gob
ble!" highly interesting. Hut every
body else complained about the noise
that Turkey Proudfoot made, and
said that if he must gobble they
wished he would go olT by himself,
wl.ere people didn't have to listen
to him,
And nofiody but the lien turkeys
liked the way Turkey Proudfoot
walked. At every step he took lie
raised a foot high in the air, acting
I
But the rest of tha farmyard folk
wade quite different remarks tbouthim
for all the world as if the ground
wasn't good enough for him to walk
upon. And when he. wasn't picking
up a seed, or a bit of grain, or an in
sect off the ground, he held his head
very high. Often Turkey Proudfoot
seemed to look right past his 'farm
yard neighbors, as if he were gazing
t something in the next field nj
didn't see them. Uut they oon
learned that that was only an odd
way of his. Realty, he saw about
everything that went on. If any
body happened to grin at him Turkey
Proudfoot was sure to take notice at
once and try to pick quarrel.
After all, perhaps it wasn't strange
that Turkey Proudfoot should act
as he did. Being the ruler of Parm
er Green's whole flock of turkeys, he
was somewhat spoiled. All the hen
turkeys did about as he told them to
do. Or if they didn't, Turkey Proud
foot thought that they obeyed his
orders. And the younger gobblers as
well had to mind him. If they didn't,
Turkey Proudfoot fought them until
they were ready to gobble for mercy.
Having whipped the younger
gobblers a good many times, Turkey
Proudfoot firmly believed that he
could whip anything or anybody.
And there was nobody on the farm,
almost, at whom he hadn't dashed at
hast onre. He had even attacked
Partner Green. l!ut Parmer Green
quickly taught him better. A blow
over the head with a stout stick
bowled Turkey Proud'not over, mid
he never tried to fight Parmer Green
again.
That proved that Turkey Proud
foot wasn't as empty-headed as some
ct his neighbors thought him, It
was possible to get a lesson into his
head, even if one had to knock :t
into his skull with a club.

Parents' Problems
Should children be taught to be
careful of their clothes when play
ing, or should they have nothing said
to them about soiling or tearing their
garments?
The child at play should have till
possible freedom, and should be
dressed accordingly. There are lim
its at to rea-onable tearing and soil
ing, but within these limits, which
to have a good time without thought
are wide, the child should be allow
of his clothes.
