81 reckon that's so about the monkeys"
remarked Mrs. Meadows. "They used to be
In the country next door, and now they are
no longer there"
"Yes,' said Mr.. Rabbit, ITS just like l
tell you; they were there once, but now they
are not there any more. But in the world
next door everybody has his ups and downs
especially his downs. I've heard my great
grandfather tell many a time how our family
used to live close to the Moon. SO l don't
make any brag about the way the monkeys
had to take to the bushes. I remember about
my own family, and then l feel like hanging
my head down and saying nothing. 1t Is a
very funny feeling, too. When / think we
used to live close to the Moon, and that we
now live In the ground and have to crawl
there like snails, l sometimes feel like cry
ing, and I tell you right now IL | was to be-
gin to boohoo you'd be astonished."
Buster John and Sweetest Susan looked
very serious, but Drusilla showed a desire
to laugh.
you say you used to live close to the
Moon" asked Buster John, with more cur
iosity than usual.
"Why certainly" replied Mr.. Rabbit: 81
don't say that / did, but I'm certain that
my family did. I've heard my great grand
father tell about 1t a hundred ines. I've
heard that 1t was a better country up there
than 1t is where you live, even better than
1t is down here, a good deal more fun and
adding, and not half so much looking around
for something to eat. That is the great
trouble. If we didn't have to scuffle around
and get something to eat we'd be lots better
off.
TITS mighty funny. II you let well enough
alone you are all right; but the minute you
try to better it everything goes wrong"

body and everything else
But how did they live up there by the
Moon?" asked Sweetest Susan. How did
they keep from falling OFF,"
Mr.. Rabbit scratched his head a little be-
fore replying. well" said he, after a while
"they got along just as We do down here
heads up and feet down. But one time, as
I've heard my great grandfather say, the
Moon got into, a sort Of fdget, and was
mighty restless for quite a while. At last
one OF our family, the oldest of all, made
bold TO look over the fence and ask the
Moon what the trouble was. He noticed,

is the most prolific cause of nervous

THE CHARTER AMENDMENTS.


Among the needed changes in the or
canic law Of Astoria, none is more inn
portant than the adoption of some
modern plan Of conducting special mu.
nscipal improvements, particularly in
the matter Of opening new streets and
nlleys, and the grading, paving, and
extension OF those ALREADY established.
without specifying the defects Of the
present system. It is enough to say It is
SO cumbersome and old-fashioned that
the city win find itself totally unpre-
pared for the extensive growth and
development which may be expected In
Astoria before the expiration Of the
first six months of the new year.
It should be borne in mind that after
the adjournment Of the present legisla-
ture, two years must elapse be-
fore another opportunity will be
presented to effect amy improve
ment or cure any deficiency in
the present charter Arrangement and
IN view OF the size and Importance the
city may possibly uttadn before that
time, the revision OF the charter de.
mamds the most thorough, careful, and
discriminating attention.
In other communities so much inn
portance is autached to work Of this
character both ON account Of ITS bear
ing on the progress Of the city and the
saving OF expensive litigation sure TO
follow haaty and incompetent treatmepk
THAT Il Is customary to intrust it only
ITO the ablest and most experienced law
yers, employed especially for the pur-
pose: no committee OF laymen. however
learned and conscientious, would be
deemed qualified for such a technical
undertaking.
Before concluding Ats labors It Is
hoped the revising committee will al
leant make 1t point to compare that
portion OF the charter relating to streel
improvements with like provisions ir
the law OF some Of THE more progressive
lDastem cities. where the opinions oi
leading am.hoities ON municipal law
and regulation are consulted and the
Interpretations of the highest courts
followed and put IN practice.
