BEDTIME STORIES Funny Thing Reddy Saw. jgssed 1o the married state Rrere cuch" rove s helptal mate. Mrs. Whitetail the March Hawk knows ‘whereof she speaks, for she and White- tail have been mated for many years and always he has been most attentive and helptul, especially during the worri- #ome season of home building and fam- 1ly cares. Always he is ready to do his share, to bring muterials, relieve her on e mest, help feed the children and even bring fooa to her. What more could any one ask?

Sometimes he would see one and sometimes the other hunting low over the Green Mea- dows for Meadow Mice or perhaps a Gartersnake or some other small mem- ber of the Snake family. Rarely did Reddy see Mr. and Mrs. Whitetail to- gether, and then only for a few minutes at & time. He could tell them gpart as far as he could see them, fOr Mrs. Whiteteil is bigger than Whitetail. The fact that usuall there was but one to be seen confirmed his suspicions that they had a nest. *The other is sitting on the eggs,” he would mutter. “Now, if I only could se2 them meet and change places I would have some idea where that nest is.” Patience brings its reward in time.

Day-in and day- By Thornton W. Burgess. S0 it happened that one day Reddy saw Whitetail suddenly drop in the grass far away on the Green Meadows.- “He has caught a Mouse,” thought Reddy. “It must be wonderful to be able to sail over the grass and Jook right down in it the way those Hawks can, instead of having haif the time to guess where a Mouse is and jump for him without seeing him. Hellol He isn't going to eat it there, and it isn’t & Mouse, but a bird. I wonder where he is taking it to. He is heading this way.” It wes so. Whitetail was flying to- ward the Old Pasture. As he ap- proacked the lower side of the Old Pas- ture he began to call in a shrill voice that Reddy could hear plainly. He sat up that he might see better. ‘Whitetail passed above some little trees growing along the edge of the Old Pasture and then began to circle higher in the air, still calling. Almose at once Mrs. Whitetail appeared. Reddy couldn’t tell just where she came from, but it was from the ground soémewhere back- of those trees. Up she went toward Whitetail, who swung around until he was dir--tly over her. Then something dropped. At first Reddy didn't realize what it was. He had just a glimpse of 1t felli Mrs. Whitetail turned partly over and caught it in her claws. Then sie righted herself and glided down out of sight, while Whitetall swung aroun in a big circle and headed back for the Green Meadows. Then Reddy vnderstood that what he had scen caitht bv Mrs. Whitetail was that Dird that Whitetall had been carrying. “That was & funny thing” muttered Reddy. “I wonder how old Whitetail happened to drop that bird. Well, his loss was Mrs, Whitetail's gain that time, . It certainly is funny that h should drop it after carrying it so far. Right then the true meaning of what he had scen flashed over him. “As I live,” he exclaimed, “Wh'teteil dropped | that bird purposely! That is what he | was screaming for. He was telling Mrs. | Whiteta‘l to come get it. Hes brought | that food to her to save her the trouble of hunting. And that means that that nest is right down there, near the edge of the Old Pasture, and they have eggs or young. So I was right; they are living in the Old Pasturs: It won't take me long to find that nest now.” Reddy was righ! sbout the dropping of that bird. It had been done pur- posely. ‘That happened to b2 a partic- ularly dainty bit, from the Hawk point of view, end Whitetail thought of Mrs. ‘Whitetail and took it to her. He knew that when she heard h'm she would know that he wes bringing her some- thing and would rise to meet him. He had dropped food to her that way many times before. It was like a game. He always delighted in watching her turn and catch his offering in midair. It took a lot of skill, but she rarely missed. So Whitetail and Mrs. Whitetail gave away their carefully guarded secret and neither realized it.

T0 PREVENT CONSTIPATION You musT look out for the health of your family. Often a faul diet leads to constipation. H aches, dizziness, loss of energy follow. Husband and children become irritable. Serious dis- ease may develop. You cangprevent this by in- cluding roghage in the diet. A pleasant way to supply this roughage is with Kellos BraN, a delitious, ready-to-eat cereal. Two tablespoonfuls daily, for each person, will prevent and relieve both temporary and re- curring constipation. In severe cases, use with each meal. Do this instead of giving them habit-forming pills and drugs.

A WHITE-HAIRED MAN who until a short time ago was Illinols’ senlor United States Senator surrendered his suite of offices on the Hill and turned to what he likes to call the fourth chapter of his career. He is Charles Deneen, the man whom Ruth Han- na McCormick de- feated in the Re- ublican primary ast year only to be in turn defeated by J. Hamilton Lewis in the gen- eral elections. ‘The first chapter of that career was concerned with nothing more than the ordinary prog- ress of & man de- voted to politics in a State in which his party generally wes successful. It carried him to the Governor's chair for two terms. ‘The second covered a period of 12 years in which he was in political re- :,lr!ment. Iginl about the practice of aw. The third chapter covers that period when he emerged as an almost for- gotten political figure, won & seat in the United States Senate, and later shattered one of the most powerful political organizations that every con- trolled State and county government in Illinols. * Those have been stormy years for Deneen. And eventful ones. His home has been bombed, supposedly by politi- cal enemies. ‘There was a 21-day dead- Jock in the State Republican conven- tion before he won his first nomina- tion for Governor. His crusade to ‘sunder the alliance of politics and crime” is regarded by many as his most outstanding public service. ‘The grandson. of a Methodist circuit rider and county surveyor, thie son of a professor of Latin, Deneen early in life chose law and politics for his career. A great-grandfather left Georgila be- cause of his opposition to slavery, and in three State Legislatures led a fight to prevent admission of slavery into |this Spri Tlinois. Although he served only one term as a United States Senator, Deneen held some of the most important committee lassignments in that body. At various times he served as a mem- ber of the Finance, Judiciary, Agricul- ture and Manufactures Commiti four of the most powerful of the Sen- ate. He held berths on the Claims and Elections Committees. One of his outstanding experiences in the Senate was the part he took in the fight involving Frank L. Smith, who was l‘)polnud to fill an unexpired term and elected for a full term as Senator from Ilinois. Smith was barred, how- ever, because of the alle improper sources of his campaign funds. In the Senate Deneen was regarded as emong the most industrious of the members, Fe was regularly Republican on all issucs, a staunch’ supporter of the administration. N Savory Beef. Pound some flour into both sides of a round steak, using as much as the meat will take up. This may be done with a meat pounder or with the edge of a heavy plate. Pry in drippings, butter or other fat in an iron kettle or a frying pan, then add water enough to cover it. Cover the dish very tightly so that the steam cannot escape, and allow the meat to simmer for two hours, or until it is tender. One advantage of this dish is that usually it is ready t® serve when the meat is done, as the gravy is al- ready thickened. If a large amount of fat is used in the frying, the gravy ma not be thick enocugh and qun bz blended with flour. NANCY PAGE Suits Vary Enough to Suit Every One. BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. To suit the season this Spring one must be suited. Every year we hear that suits will be worn, but seldom are they as popular as they bid fair to be ‘That may be, because there are many versions of them, For instance, here is one which is really a dress with long sleeves, The blouse part is made of beige wool crepe. The skirt is of the same material as the jacket, & knobby textile, but the effect is quite different since the skirt is embroidered with eye- lets and the jacket is left plain with the exception of the deep fox cuffs which | finish the three-quarter length sleeves of the coat. With this outfit are worn rather long and loose gloves. The crushed glove which wrinkles loosely on the arm and which does not fit too snugly on the hand is considered quite | the smartest thing. Another coat suit which is popular is one of skipper blue, made double- breasted with s'x buttons down the front. Three of these are for effect and three ers for use, T fitted notched lapcl and the patch pocket mark the good tailoring on this suit. A dress which, may bs worn for eve- ning affairs which are not elaborate nor formal consists of a soft black satin skirt and a jacket which is drapsd comingly at neck.
