BEDTIME STORY FOR CHILDREN
By THORNTON W. BURGESS
BiLLY MiNK BECOMES
SUSPiCiOUS
ALL the little people in the
Green Forest there is none with
liarper eyes, and keener wits than
[HiiiyMiijk. Nothing goes on aiong the
laughing Brook, front its start in the
reen Forest to where it joins the
^ig Riser, that Hilly Mini: doesn't
)tnow about. Biiiy Is a great traveler,
be is so fuii<)f life and energy that
^e cannot keep sfiii very long at a
^ime. Moreover, Billy is one of those
^ittle people to witom it makes no dif-
erenee whether jolly, round, brlglit
dr. San is shining or gentie Mistress
Biily Mink Followed the Man Down
the Laughing Brook.
Moon has taken his place up in the
!ky, or the Black Shadows have
trapped everything in darkness. He
takes a nap whenever he feeis sleepy,
Und whenever he doesn't feel sleepy
he travels up and down the Laughing
Brook.
In these little journeys hack and
forth nothing escapes Billy's bright
Cyes and sliarp ears and keen nose.
Being such a slim fellow he slips [n
)ind out of holes and hiding places
H hich no one save his cousin, Shadow
[he Weasel, could get into.
Now it happened that one day Blily
furled up in a hollow log under a pile
)f brush ciose to the Laughing Brook,
in a jliTy he was asleep. Right in the
middle of the pleasantest of pleasant
[reams he was awakened, instantly
was wide awake. He was just as
Hide awake as if he hadn't been asieep
)t all. Without stopping to think any-
thing about it, ho knew wiiat had
[wakened hitn. Some one had just
[tassed bis hiding place.
Noiselessly Billy crept out of the
follow log and peeped from under the
pile of brush. Walking down the bank
Df the Laughing Brook was a man.
I've never seen that fellow before,"
muttered Billy to himself. "It Isn't

Farmer Brown's Hoy, und it isn't

ing for something. I wonder wiiat he
is about. I think I'll watch him."
So, as silently as a shadow, Billy
Mink foiiowed the man down the
Laughing Brook, and the man didn't
onee suspect it. You see, Billy can al-
ways Und a biding place if it he no
more than a heap of brown leaves. He
just slipped from one hiding place to
another, aiways keeping the man in
sight.
Biiiy became more and more inter-
ested and inquisitive as he watched
that man. The man certainly did seem
to be looking for something. He would
examine every half sunken log in the
Laughing Brook, fie searched care-
fuily every littie hole. It didn't take
Billy long to discover that this man
seemed to be especially interested in
those places where Billy almost always
went when traveling up and down the
Laughing Brook.
Billy stopped and rubbed his nose
thoughtfully. He was growing sus-
picious. "I wonder," thought Biiiy, "if
he Is looking for me."

Box OVER.
MAGICAL CORKS
'*T*M3E magician dispiays a small card-
* board box. He opens it and reveals
two small corks inside. He closes the
box, shakes It and reopens It. The
corks have multipiied. There are four
Instead of two.
The box is prepared beforehand.
Boxes of this type, obtainable at any
drug store, actually consist of two lids,
with a ring or collar between.
In the upper lid the magician glues
two corks. He drops two loose corks
in the lower portion. Thus, in perform-
ing the trick, he begins by showing
only two corks, not revealing those
that are attached to the lid which he
removes.
Closing the box, the magician shakes
it. In so doing he turns over the box.
The lid which he lifts Is the original
bottom of the box. Thus the box con-
tains four corks.

"T 7*.\SHl\CTON.—If there ]sany
\A/ sentiment about such a thing
y y as a two thirds rule in n Dem-
ocratic convention, I should
think tiint Roosevelt would feel like
kissing itgood by when it is changed to
nriilc.whcrebynpiain ordinary major-
ity of delegates CM nominate the
party's choice for President. That's
what wili probably happen In Phila-
deiphla when the Democratic national
convention adopts its rules.
For a hundred years, since Andrew
Jackson's day, the Democrats have re-
quired two-lhlrds of the delegates for
nominating purposes—the Itepubiican
conventions require merely amajority
—one more than half. And the Demo-
cratic requirement of two-thirds has
caused some frightful rows. It caused
a row in i!)20 when Cox, McAdoo and
A. Mitcheli Palmer tangled up and Cox
won. ralmcr always said that Cox
"bought the band" and swayed the dele-
gates w ith certain tunes that apparently
were eftcctive. Then, the long-drawn
Madison Square squabble between Mc-
Adoo and A! Stnitl) resulted in nominat-
ing James Davis, who was a walkover
forCoolidge.
These Hghtsleft scars. The loaders
want to smooth over party matters;
but I wonder If Roosevelt concurs in
the idea that heisinthcWhiteHouse
today because of thetwo-thlrds rule at
Baltimore in 1012. That was theyear
William Jennings Bryan dominated the
convention from his seat as a delegate
in the Nebraska convention, detnand-
ingaprogressive inthe place of acon-
servative like Underwood or Harmon.
That was the year Bryan excoriated
Tammany; the year that Champ Clark,
who was flirting with all elements, had
the lead and actuaily had a majority
on the tenth ballot. Under a majority
rule he would have been nominated.
Bryanletthecountryknowwlmthe
was doing and the convention was
deluged with approving telegrams.
Wilson was nominated on the forty-
sixth ballot, and the trend of history
changed. Progresslvlsm stepped into
government again, and a young Kew
York state senator who had been work-
ing to build up the progressive end of
the party was brought to Wasiilngton
and made assistant secretary of the
navy. His name was Franklin Roose-
velt, atui it was that touch of national
administrate!) at tite time of the
World war which set Roosevelt on his
way.
Had Champ Clark been nominated,
would l:e have Item elected? And
would anyone have heard of Franklin
Boosovelt out of bis own Dutchess
county, New York? Would he have he-
come governor of New York?
At any rate Roosevelt marches on.
His platform for the campaign is shap-
ing up. It will be written by a com-
mittee headed lty Senator Wagner of
New York. It will he a document of
social pioneering—and will have the
same place in events ns that occupied
by Theodore Roosevelt's progressivism
and Woodrow Wilson's great reforms.
Itake it that the 1936 Roosevelt plat-
form will have a place for n great na-
tion wide house building program
which will provide cheap and good
homes for low income people, and also
take up a great siack in the unemploy-
ment Held. It will provide for better
labor conditions. It will promise the
prevention of child labor and the
spread of employment through the re-
duction of hours—unless industry
wakes up and spreads the jobs. It
promises continued progress In social
security, old age pensions, aid to the
underprivileged, etc.
VANDENBERG-DAHK HORSE
They keep referring to Senator Van-
denberg of Michigan as the "Repub-
lican Dark Horse," and If they keep
on with it they'll turn that Dark Horse
into a sure thing. Vandenberghas
been the Dark Horse solong it would
not be surprising if the delegntes went
to the (t. O. P. convention in Cleveland
pledged for Whosis for President;
What's-His-Name for Vice President,
and Yandenberg for Dark Horse.
This Dark Horse strength came to a
peak just about the time that Vanden-
berg pulled the hone headed play of de-
manding publicity on all big AAA
checks of $10,000 or tnore supposed to
show the vast benefits from the fed-
eral government to tremendous con-
cerns growning wheat, cotton and oth-
er commodities. It developed that
there were many farm operations by
corporations, but that the buik of farm-
ers are on ordinary sized American
fttrms. It would haveheen impossible
to administer the Triple A without in-
cluding all farm operations.
The Yandenberg request for Triple A
publicity turned out to be a boomerang
for his party, as the senate coupled
with that request, a demand on the
tariff commission for tarifr information
to show the benefits a protective tariff
hashandedtolndustry. Titlsadminis-
tration contends that Triple A was an
offset against the high prices farmers
have had to pay on account of pro-
tected industry.
Yandenberg voted against AAA un-
der which ndHions of little payments
were nntde to average farmers, but he
voted for the Jones-Costigan sugar con-
trp] act under which only large pay-
