Bedtime Story for Children By THORNTON W. BURGESS PETER LEARNS SOMETHING ABOUT SEEP SEEP" « mpr- - - H ELLO! There’s Seep Seep! I haven’t seen him since we were together up north, where his home was not far from mine,’’ exclaimed Yank Yank the Nuthatch. As he spoke a little brown bird alighted at the foot of the very next tree. He was just a trifle bigger than Jenny Wren but not at all like Jenny, for while Jenny’s tall usually is cocked up In the sauciest way, Seep Seep’s tall is never cocked up at aiL in fact, It bends down, for Seep Seep uses his tall in climbing just as the members of the Woodpecker family use theirs. He was dressed In grayish-brown above and grayish-white beneath. Across each wing was a little band of buffy- whlte and his bill was curved down Just a little. When he alighted at the foot of that tree, Seep Seep didn’t stop an Instant but started up, going round and round It as he climbed and picking out things to eat under the bark. His way of climbing that tree was very like creep ing and Peter thought that Seep Seep Round and round up the trunk of that tree went Seep Seep and, when he reached the top, at once flew down to the bottom of the next tree and with out a pause, started up that He wast ed no time exploring the branches, but kept to the trunk. Once In a while he would cry In a thin little wiry voice. ‘‘Seep! Seep!” but never paused to rest nr look-around.* If ho bod felt My work-room dictionary contains two definitions of prosperity. One is: “The state of beldg What Is prosperous; good for- Prosperity? v tune ln ““J business or enterprise.” The ether Is: “Success In respect to any thing good or desirable." Of the two, I Pke the second better. 1 have known many meb who were MUd to be prosperous. They had abun dance of money, good health, and nev er failed of triends to swarm around them and fatten on their.bounty,. But ”ln respect to anything good or desirable,” with all their money, they Were bankrupts. It seems to me that a man with a dear conscience, enough money to live <m, and with friends who are his friends because they like him, and because of what he can do for them. Is the truly prosperous man. In recent times a great many people who believed they were prosperous have fallen on what they called evil days. i heir money has dwindled, their health has been impaired by worry ov^r their changed estate, and they feel that they are ruined men. / Naturally, the kind of friends that they have acquired in the days of good ' forti “Hello! There's Seep Seep." was well named the Brown Creeper. JIe_ wouldJiaxe liked to gossip with Seep Seep, but he knew that Seep Seep would waste no time that way. - that on him alone depended the job of getting all the Insect eggs and grubs on those trees, he could not have been more Industrious. “Does he build his nest In a hole In a tree?” asked Peter of Yank Yank the Nuthatch. Yank Yank shook his head. “No,” he replied. “He hunts for a tree or an old stub with a piece of loose v bark banging to it In behind this he tucks his nest made of twigs, strips of bark and moss. He’s a funny little fellow and I don’t know of anyone In all the Great World who more strictly attends to his own business than does Seep Seep the Brown Creeper. He’s little but he Is mighty useful. Farmer Brown ought to be glad every time he sees him. By the way, Peter, have you seen anything of Dotty the Tree Sparrow?” ■ “Not yet,” replied Peter, “but I think be nrust be here.—Prh glad you TemTnd ed me of him. PU go look for him.” C. T. W.

A turn In affairs swept all these away. Not long ago I visited him in a small house which he had rented. His wife and his children were with hi in.- There was enough In the house to provide them with food. But all the old glam orous days were gone.

Rarely Fatal In many cases these men were overworried, but not overworked If you have and keep your health, you can do a great deal more work than you think you are capable of. But once you begin to fret and fuss about It, It Is time you changed to something else. , Eltffer your, health needs attending to, or you have undertaken some kind of s job for which you are not fitted. Work is rarely fatal. You can do more of It, If you really try. than you Imagine you can. When I was actively engaged In the newspaper business I knew many men who worked sometimes eleven or twelve hours at a stretch when they had im< portant tasks. - — I meet many of them now and then. Most of them are still at their desks and working long hours. Others have gone farther up the lad der r -and have more time to themselves, but they are all of them capable of turning out a surprising amount of production. ***** g When you think that your job Is slowly killing you. you had better go to A doctor, who will look you over and find out that It is something rise that Is at the root of the trouble—111 health —quite possibly taking a little more stimulant than yoh need to keep the machine going.
