Sleepytime Tales
___
MARTHA'S BRAVEST. e
Once upon a time a little girl
was walking along a country road
on the way to school. Suddenly
she heard a plaintive cry and
looking up she saw a pretty kitty
way up in a branch of a tree.
She wondered why it didn’t come
down until she heard a low growl
and saw a big bull dog at the
foot of the tree, lust waiting for
the kitty.
Martha was so afraid of the dog
that she started to run away, but
then the thought of the poor
kitty stopped her.
She picked up a stick and shook
it at the animal, but the dog only
showed his teeth and growled
louder.
Fina'ly Martha took a piece of
ham she had in her lunch basket
and thiew it on the road near by,.
The dog smelled the meat and
ran up to It. Then Martha ran to
the tree and coaked the kitty
down. 1*. came tiembllng into her
arms and by the time the dog had
finished eating Martha was run
ning dowr. the road. -
She reached the school house and
told the teacher how she had
saved the kitty. The teacher said
she was a very brave little girl,
and that they would keep the
kitten until that afternoon when
Martha coull take it home for a
pet.
So Martha did. and today you ■
can see her walking to school
with her little kitten in her arms.

SOLILOQUY OF MODERN \
& EVE &
A Plant Cannot Grow to Splendid Maturity-Un
der an Iron Rail; Neither Can a Child Develop Un
der a Nagging or Tyrannical Parent
i_
<ar ADELAIDE KEXKERLY.)
Evan tba Uttla child, who has mingled with other children, hu •
vague aenae 'of right and wrong—of honor, of fair and unfair plajr.
Little folka get an Inkling of it In their baby gamea before mot her* a
training haa had tlipe to make any great Impreaalon.
But aa life goea on, without mother’s careful training, the child la
apt to grow away from the liner points in character and take up the mere .
glittering, the vulgar and the coarse.
Where a group of small boys are playing, one can always distta- i
gulsh between those who live on principle, to a certain extent, and thoae
who believe that "might la right" and that possession la ten points in
law.
To The Heme. '
Trace each of these little fellows to the home, and the source
of their good, or bad, ideas will be found, as a rule, te hover somewhere
around mother and father. >
In the holne where everybody goes along the line of shiftless exist
ence; where mother nags and father roars; where the food Is thrown
upon the table In an unattractive manner and nobody Is ever told to
clean-up before coming to the table, a child doesn’t hear much about
manhood or high principles or noble and ignoble thoughts. Sucn parents
know so little about a higher life that they could not. If they jjfould,
impart any worthwhile, knowledge clearly or In an attractive manner.
When a child Is taught to do, not the easiest thing but. the noblest
thing, not to live by force but by the power of love and right thinking,
the path to a higher and betten life Is not nearly so steep. Such train
ing clears away the misty veil between the spiritual and the lower
order of life. *
Not Oa Record.
If any child was ever made better by being scolded or fussed at or
Jumped at. It hasn’t gone on record. More than half the children In the
world are whipped because the pareng is angry and that Is about all1
the reason the child ever gets for the punishment. Under such circum
stances the parent Is more at fault than jthe child.
Every living person is an Individual soul and no one has a right to
command another to do a thing Just “because I said so.” Children should
be taught the law of “cause and effect” which would eliminate nearly
all the fussing and misunderstandings between parent and child.
Method.
The happiest families and the finest children discuss matters of life
with each other, weighing things In a balance of Judgment and- all
abiding by the final decision-. Such a method brings forth talents, builds
up the individuality of children, and develops the parents more than most
of them are willing to admit. , , ■ u.
A plant cannot grow to splendid maturity under an Iron rail; neith
er ean a child develop under nagging or tyrannical parent.

Winning Firm Finds
Itself Compelled to
Turn Down Confract
Whan notified late Wedneeday after
noon of the action of the board of city >
commissioners at Its Wednesday's {
meeting In awarding the contract for |
the feed for the city's live stock for
the month of January, Its firm had
been selected, the Capital Qraln and |
Feed Company announced It would be I
unable to fulfill the terms of Its bid.
The commissioners were so Informed
early Thursday morning, and a special
meeting was called, which resulted In
the contract being awarded to Schloss
and Kahn, their bid being next to that
of the Capital Oraln and''‘Feed Com
pany, which was the lowest.
The Capital Qraln and Feed Compani ,
In refusing the contract, said, that the
prices In their bid were those of Tues
day and they expected the contract to
be either accepted or' refused on that
day, and that they could not offer the
same prices In a competitive bid twen
ty-four hours later. The meeting of
the commission Tuesday morning was
short, because of the need of the ser
vices of the city clerk In his office to
receive money for licenses for the year
1>17, and the commissioners adjourned
until Wednesday morning before tak
ing up the bids'for supplying the feed
for the city’s livestock for the month
of January.
- Paying Taxes Rapidly.
Montgomery merchants are not hav- '
lng to be pushed by city officials into f
paying their licenses for the year
1917. The licenses became due on the
first day of January, and with the of
fice of the city clerk closed that day
because, of holiday, during the three
days the license money has been re
ceived at the city hall over |13,000 has
been paid In.
On Tuesday, January 2, Ed Devin -
ney, city clerk, reported that $6,095
in license money was paid to him, and
on Wednesday $3,200 was tendered’him
Thursday the receipts from licenses
amounted to about $6,000, making a
total of $13,295 to be paid In three
days.
Q. W, Barnett, city treasurer. In
worrying because the United States
government has not yet coined the
much talked about halt^cent piece. He
wants to collect Interest from delin
quent tax payers arid Thursday as he
was only able to collect interest at
eight pep cent since January 1,. there
were a number of the tax payers who
were relieved from paying Interest be
cause It would not amount to 1 cent.
Taxes ^mounting to $6,600 were paid
to the city treasurer Thursday and a
number of persons paying part of this
amount paid an extra cent which was
added as Interest on their taxes since
the first of the year.
