The Barton Bedtime Stories By JOHN BARTON (Copyright, 1921, by The Associated Newspapers) MALTY'S MAN DOESN'T LIKE HIS VISITOR MALTY was the happiest kitten under a roof when his man carried him into their cabin on the far side of the Big Marsh. "I knew you'd come," he purred. "My mother said so. That's the only reason I didn't stay forever and ever at Dry Muskrat's Pond." He was so happy he couldn't understand why Thunderpaws wouldn't come in, too. You know Thunderpaws was the young skunk who came all this way just to keep him company. "Mm-mm!" He shook his head decidedly. "You forget I'm not tame. Your man wouldn't understand about me. I'll just nest under this bush till he goes out tagain. I do want a good look at everything before I go back to the Pond." He was right. Malty's man didn't understand. He was calling the kitten. "You'd better stay inside here," said he. "I can guess what happened to your mother with all these hunters around. But, however, did you escape them all this time?" As if Thunderpaws or the kind big King snake would hurt him! But he didn't understand cat-talk, so Malty couldn't explain. He had something to learn. So had Malty. The first thing that man did was to make a fire in the "cold iron with the long neck," as the kitten and Nimble Rabbit called the stove the man cooked his supper on. It got warm pretty quick. And somebody singed a little gray paw trying to see what the "buzzing" was on top of it while he was frying his panakes. You know how a frying pan sounds. Out of the door bounced the kitten, on three legs, straight for Thunderpaws. "Sniff-sniff," went his sharp skunk nose at the paw Malty held under it. "Lick it," he chuckled. "It isn't even a really truly burn, but you're making as much fuss as Tad "Mm-mm!" He shook his head decidedly. "You forget I'm not tame." Coon did." And by the time he had finished telling how Tad tried to play with Louie Thompson's latern the kitten had put down his paw and forgotten all about it. "That burn must have come from a fire," Thunderpaws went on. "We skunks know all about fires. Ever and ever so long ago we had a compact with the Red Men about them. So as soon as your man settles down I can come and lie three tail lengths from this one." He didn't stop to think Malty's man wasn't an Indian, Anaheim Auto Works Anaheim Auto Works Sliding glass tops and upholstering, Craftsman leather body covering wood work, body and fender repairing.

Be thou a beacon in the night, When storm shall toss and wave shall wail, Be thine the step to lead to light, Be thine to guide when light shall fail, Be thou the Just! Be thou the Free! Thy banner, Truth, o'er sod and sea! Be Right the shield that shelters thee, Columbia! Columbia! Fling out! Fling out, o'er waste and wave Thy standard! Set thy flag afar! Be thine to free the serf and slave, Beyond the sea to set thy star! Be thou a beacon in the night, Be thine through gloom to lead to light, Thy might God gave thee for the right, Columbia! Columbia!

That skunk came marching in. He kicked up a shoe to stop him if he tried to hurt Malty, but—there was the bold kitten, actually rubbing against the striped fellow, purring! So he kept still to see what was going to happen. Of the 117,870 farms in California in 1920, 99,661 reported domestic animals.

The Seattle gamblers are in pocket $60,000 as a result of two municipal elections in California during the last three months. The second round involved high finance, revenge, a frame-up, and a sad ending—for San Diego—at least so the story runs. The contest dates back to last March, when a syndicate of professional Seattle gamblers came to San Diego and bet on the election for mayor. They sent out a number of thousand postcards and took a straw vote. As a result of their investigations they decided to place $30,000 on Mayor John L. Bacon, the so-called "Blue Law" candidate. The San Diego gamblers were inclined to let the wish become father to the thought, and took up the money, betting on James E. Wadham, the so-called "liberal" candidate. Bacon won by 88 votes. The gamblers forced a recount in the superior court, but Bacon still retained his lead, and the Seattle gamblers Mesa Ground joining and the great Beach Oil on direct line al Hill Savings Bank Handle all funds.

The gamblers forced a recount in the superior court, but Bacon still retained his lead, and the Seattle gamblers collected their $30,000. The Seattle crowd follows city elections from town to town. They went to Los Angeles and began to give the Snyder-Cryer mayoralty election the "once over." The San Diego crowd, seeking revenge, as well as to get their $30,000 back, followed them. Having seen the post card game worked the San Diego crowd waited until the Seattle ment sent out the straw vote cards. They had duplicates printed, and, being absolutely certain that the incumbent, Snyder, would win, sent back all the postcards marked "Cryer." The Seattle crowd bit, hook, line and sinker. They placed $30,000 on Cryer, with the San Diego men, who were jubilant at their little coup. Mr. Cryer was the only fly in the ointment, however, for, upsetting all "dope," he won the election. The Seattle crowd had twice cleaned the San Diego gamblers, and the Snyder-Cryer election wasn't even close enough to contest. "We ought to have known better than to try to beat those birds," said one of the sadder but wiser San Diego gamblers. "They have a record of having lost only three out of twelve municipal elections they have bet on." The worst part of war's reaction is the inaction. The poor and the job of collecting the indemnity we have with us always. Bright lights cause the eyes to narrow. They also have the same effect on the bank roll. —The HERALD for good job printing Friday, June 17, 1921 FAIRYLAND ANAHEIM TONIGHT VAUDEVILLE AND DOROTHY GISH in “Atta Boy’s Last Race” Adults 85c; Children 15c; Plus War Tax.
