It's duty. duty, duty! Tell me now, pray you'
please. ;, -,
Just why it is so seldom that it can be done
with ease.
But almost always seems instead the hardest
thing to do:
always find it just that way, ana SO, guess
do you.
So said Peter Rabbit as he sat in the
old brier patch and thought of the duty
he had got to perform Peter knew
that it was going to be the hardest thing
that he had ever done in his life. He
didn't want to do it. He wouldn't have
promised to do it If there had been any
way out of it. If it had been just for
himself alone Peter wouldn't have thought
of doing it. But it wasn't just for him
self, but for all the little meadow and
forest people. So Peter sat in the old
brier patch and said over and over to
himself:
Il must. l must. 1 must.'
What was it all about? Why, you see.
there had been meeting of all the little
meadow and forest people excepting old
Granny Fox and Reddy Fox, to plan
some way to stop Farmer Browns boy
from hunting with his dreadful gun on
the Green Meadows and in the Green
Forest every day. and because it was all
the fault of Reddy Fox. who had stolen
the pet chicken of Farmer Browns boy.
1t was decided that the only thing to do
was to give up Reddy Fox. Then Farm
er Browns boy would stop hunting and

in danger from that dreadful gun.
And because there was no one else
whom Bowser the hound would chase SO
readily as Peter Rabbit ii was decided
that Peter must how himself to Bowser
and then lead him up to the old house
where Reddy Fox was hiding. or course.
when Bowser once found where Reddy
Fox was he would forget all about Peter
Rabbit and would make such a fuss that
Farmer Browns boy would hurry up to
see what the matter was, and that would
probably. be an end of Reddy Fox and
of the hunting on the Green Meadows
and in the Green Forest.
Peter Rabbit was thinking OF all this
as he sat in the old brier patch waiting
He had no love for Reddy Fox. but some
how he couldn't bear to think of being
the one to give Reddy up. He looked
across the Green Meadows and saw
Farmer Browns 10Y with Bowser. the
hound. running ahead Of him. Peter
sighed. I've got to do it, he said and
slipped out of the Old brier patch to show
himself to Bowser the hound
Bowser saw Peter saucily sitting up in
front of him. .Bow-wow." roared
Bowser and started after Peter Rabbit.
Peter Rabbit bravely started out to do
his duty. He headed straight for the
place where or Mistah Buzzard had told
him that Ready Fox was hiding. The
nearer he got the worse he felt. There's
plenty of time" thought Peter. So he
darted off to one side and led Bowser
the hound into the Green Forest. But
the longer he ran the harder it grew to
make up his mind to give Reddy Fox up.

Fitness for Business Men
Slow Development of Long Muscles.
BY Frank A. Gotch, Worlds Wrestling Champion

It is a habit of most folks who engage
in physical exercise to expect to see tell
ing results within a few days.
The long muscles of the wrestler, which
stand back Of him for hours Of the most
severe physical exertion, were developed
only after daily care extending over a
period of perhaps ten years.
The person whose long muscles are
thoroughly developed never shows the
bullying contour of the individual who
has developed his short muscles from
weight lifting.
In relaxation he seems to be as soft
and plant as the most undeveloped sPeci-
men. But practically every set of mus
cles in his body has received attention,
and when he enters a contest he can
work at a high rate of speed hour after
hour without being fatigued.
There is always something compensa-
tory In nature. and the long muscles,
which have required years of daily de-
velopment and care. will carry their pos
SCISSOR into a great many more years Of
health and utility.
Suppose YOU We're to work at wall
pulley for a period of fifteen minutes a
day. If YOU go at this exercise in a
quick, jerky manner. your short muscles
will be developed The effect on the out
lines of your body will be more pro-
nounced. II you take your pulley exer-
else in long, sweeping swings and slowly,

DIR. Knight had been campaigning
through the state for several days. He
apparently was in good health when he
entered the hall. He arose from his seat
on the platform amid enthusiastic APP
olause and, going forward to the foot
lights, suddenly staggered and dropped
TO the stage. He died as several men
sprang to his aid. Heart disease is be-
lieved to have been the cause of death.
Representative George B. Chandler of
Rocky Hill and others carried DR.. knight
to the rear of the stage. Physicians We're
quickly at his side. His daughter, Miss
Gertrude Knight. who accompanied him
from Salisbury, was with him when he
died. His wife arrived few moments

The river between Giesboro and the
Firth-Stirling steel plant will be popu-
lar place tomorrow for anglers. Last
weeks muddy water drove the fishermen
from the upper river, and many of them
stopped near the steel plant to catch
rOckfish.
"A rockfish furnishes almost as much
sport as black bass remarked John
W. Hurley, displaying catch he made
near the city. land when you can't get
one you may as well be satisfied with
the other
what was known as the halfway tree. -
only short distance from the steel plant,
was splendid in the spring and fall, more
especially in the fall. The biggest perch
caught in this vicinity were caught there
and many large rockfish also were hook
ed.
For a number of years not much fish
ing was done along the shore south OF
Giesboro but more recently the number
of fishermen has increased.
Last Sunday and during the present
week many large rockfish We're taken
from the water near the steel plant. The
successful efforts of the anglers sug-
gested larger supply of blOodworms. a
favorite bait for rOckfiSh and dealers
sent away for stock SO that big catches
are expected to be made tomorrow.
x x :: !:
Bass fishermen expect the water to be
in good condition tomorrow. 1t has been
muddy at Hampers Ferry since the heavy
rains of last week, but the water is so
idly disappearing. The water was in good
condition In the vicinity of this city as
early as Thursday and anglers at Great
Falls succeeded in landing a few bass
that day.
Anglers are anticipating fine sport along
had breathing spell during the muddy
water period. but the sportsmen expect
they will make up for lost time when
they reach the upper river tomorrow.
Now is the time to get the big fish, y
remarked an angler today. Soon the
weather will be too blustery and cold for
enjoyment on the river and it will be
necessary to abandon the sport. SO adj
vantage should be taken of the good
weather..
plymouth bass are biting freel in the
basin. Last season many of them We're
caught in the basin during the winter
months, and anglers are hoping the shell
tered body of water will do as Well for
them the coming winter.
Maj. Richard Sylvester, regarded as an
authority on bass fishing, says he expects
the fishermen will have great sport this
fall. He has spent some time at Harpers
Ferry this season and has been OH the
river several times enjoying the music of
the reel and having the sport of hauling
in some big ones
His fishing expeditions carried him
down the river as far as Weverton and
up as far as Knots quarry, and on more
than one occasion he managed to get 4
string of bass and return to his summer
home in time to have them for breakfast
Maj. Sylvester. as game warden of the
District and warden of the Fish and
Game Protective Association. is already
thinking of the question of protecting
the small-mouth black bass and other
