The Barton Bedtime Stories MALTY KITTEN MAKES AN AWFUL MISTAKE By JOHN BARTON (Copyright, 1921, by The Associated Newspapers) ROUND the end of the water in the Big Marsh skipped Malty Kitten, with Thunderpaws, the young skunk, behind him. Now they were on the far side, with only the wide field between them and the place they'd set out for—the cabin where Malty Kitten was born. But they'd forgotten all about that. They had to explore the Heron's Roost first. It would never do to pass anything as queer as that without looking into it; weren't they just having a good time? They cocked their heads up at the first tree. "Nests," said Malty Kitten. "Malty," whispered Thunderpaws cautiously, "I believe there are birds, too; those dark, stripy things. (Herons are black striped underneath to make them look like twigs unless you see them very plainly.) Seems like I see feathers blowing." "They aren't hawks or owls, are they?" asked the kitten, considering them. "N—no," said Thunderpaws. "Their legs are too long." "Then I'm not afraid of them. Anyway they're fast asleep. I'll climb quiet. I just want to peek into that lowest-down nest and see what's in it." "I don't believe I would," warned the skunk. "Just because it's so low down. That means they aren't afraid of any one. The way folks act around this marsh if they aren't afraid of you you'd better be afraid of them." Which was very wise of him. But the smarty kitten wasn't listening. He'd began to climb. Up he went, almost to the lower limb, when a ragged piece of bark made his foot slip. Malty caught himself quickly enough—he hadn't taken climbing lessons from Chatter Squirrel for nothing—but he made the tiniest bit of a scratching. The nearest bird unlimbered a long neck and glared about him with a fierce yellow eye. What a beak he had! Worse than any owl—a long, sharp, cruel-looking one. Malty dodged to the far side of the tree trunk and hung there trembling. What next? The bird couldn't have seen him. Maybe it was looking at Thunderpaws. Malty could see the poor skunk crouched down between two reed-clumps. Then came a thought that made his blood run cold. If that bird woke up the rest they were both gone beasts, with so many beaks after them. Suddenly he had a bright idea. He let go of the tree—and dashed off. And as he fell he squalled: "To the log—quick! The log—it's right ahead of you!" He meant the hollow log even the foxes couldn't get in. Thunderpaws heard. And wasn't he glad of a place to hide. For angry wings were yapping close behind them. Mr. and Mrs. Wm Angeles were guests Winters. Mr. and Mrs. F. children of Fullerton Mr. and Mrs. P.N.L. Mrs. C.

What are typical examples of the ideal American small town? Is life in a small city worth while? These questions are answered by Edward W. Bok, for thirty years editor of the Ladies Home Journal, who has been in the forefront of the movement to make thousands of main streets cleaner, more beautiful and more neighborly, in an article published in the May 13 issue of the American Legion Weekly. The veteran editor cites Galesburg, Ill.; Springfield, Mass.; Utica, New York, and Portland, Me., as municipalities possessing a "wonderful quality," which does not exist in the metropolis. "I believe a young man has a better chance to make his way in a smaller community than he has in the great city, despite all that has been said to the contrary," Mr. Bok writes. "His life is busy, of course; a man's life should be busy. But he finds time for repose, for quiet thought, for reading, for neighborly contact. He has a chance to develop his human relations not all based on business interests. His life is not charged with the electric current of city life and its thousand and one demands which send a man half-rested and yawning to his business the next morning." A scientist tells us that a pint of water contains some eight billion germs. So that's what gives restaurant soup its color. In the interest of economy, why not abolish the divorce courts and let the preacher give 'em a transfer at the time of the ceremony?
