- Bedtime Stories The Glad Days. BY THORNTON W. BURG In evers life there's some But also theer is some of gl Old Mother Nature. T sometimes seems as if some people can sec only the sadness in life. You will find it that way everywhere you go. But as surely 8s there are sad times there are also glad times. It is just so with the little people of the Green Forest and | the Green Mcadows. Fortunately and wisely, they soon forget the sad times, and all of them make the most of the glad times. For most of the little people of the Green Forest these late Autumn days were happy days. You see, they are the days of plenty. The hard times lie ahead in the Winter, but few of them looked so far ahead. Of those who did several were well prepared and were making the most of the harvest in these glad Autumn days. Happy Jack Squirrel and all his re- latives were working with might and main from dawn to dark, storing away food against the days in Winter when H mv BUSTER BEAR WAS THERE NOW AND THEN. there would be no food to be found. tented folk. Mr. and Mrs. Grouse and several of their children were there. Buster Bear was there now and then, although he came more frequently in the early evening. Buster has a liking for beechnuts. He paid no attention to the other folk, and they paid little attention to him. To be sure, they took care to keep beyond his reach, but they were not afraid, for -they knew that as long as those sweet little nuts could be obtained he would not harm any of them. Bobby Coon dropped around; so did Unc' Billy Possum. Thus it was that Slimlegs came to make the acquaint- ance of many of his neighbors in the Green Forest. He and his mother and father were together now most of the time. The stranger who had fought with Lightfoot had not been seen again, and there was no other Deer in all that part of the Green Forest. So Lightfoot no longer had need to fight. Now and then he went away by him- self, but he spent most of the time with Mrs. Lightfoot and Slimlegs. Very safe did Slimlegs feel when his father was near, for had he not seen his father fight and drive away the THE _EVEN Psychoiogy BY DR. JESSE W.

The | “scorns and whips of time” really do “make cowards of us all.” But that seems to be the course of Nature. Mental hygienists have pondered this situation.

Some of the Mouse family were doing the same thing. and Mrs. Paddy and their children were busy cutting trees and cutting these up into logs to store away in their food pile in the pond. It was hard work, but it was happy work for all these little people. Lightfoot the Deer, Mrs. Lightfoot and Slimlegs the fawn were very happy. There was a splendid harvest of beechnuts this year, and. in com- mon with some others, they are very fond of beechnuts. Under the beech trees was daily a gathering of con- Nature’s Paddy the Beaver | Slimlegs looked puzzled. puzzled. | hunters with terrible guns might be or what they looked like.

BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. + GAIN we find another one of the widdings with a common name that is far from pretty. So let us call her Marchantia. She belongs to the same group as the highly prized Hepatica, who is sup- posed to herald Spring to the woods about her. The liverworts are all lovers of moist. dim places. They have a pref- erence for climbing damp banks, and vou will always find them in company with mosses and lichens, as well as | many others of your woodland friends, with whom vou have at least & nod- ding acquaintance. Marchantia is the largest member ©f her family. She is usually well | ferns peeping from under a ledge, and the most tantalizing doorways (holes to the uninitiated).

In the olden days, the liverworts were eagerly sought by herb doctors, who believed that a tea made from the leaves of this plant would be very beneficial to those afflicted with liver trouble. leaves or flowers or even roots that have a slight resemblance to some organ of the body, and that is the only reason for the idea these teas would cure a person. It is amusing to read how many liver sufferers were made whole; little they realized what . | faith would do. There were plants that have | taken one more step in reasoning it out of your system.
