STORIES FOR BEDTIME.
There's Nothing Like the Old
Name After All.
BY Thornton w. Burgess.
Copyright. 1913. by ]. G. Lloyd)

Bobby Coon and Jimmy Skunk had their
heads together. Now when these two
put their heads together YOU may make
up your mind that they are planning
mischief. Yes. sir, there is sure to be
mischief afoot when Bobby Coon and
Jimmy Skunk put their heads together.
as they were doing now. Had Peter Rab-
bit looked back and seen them he might
not have felt quite SO easy in his mind
as he did. But Peter Rabbit didn't look
back He was too much taken up with
trying to look as important as his new
name sounded. You see he had thought
the name Peter Rabbit too common and
SO he had taken the name Peter Cotton
tail. Now he was putting on airs and
holding his head very high as he went
down to the Smiling Pool to call on Jerry
Muskrat.
Whenever any one called him by his
old name Peter pretended not to hear
He pretended that he had never heard
that name and didn't know that he was
being spoken TO. Bobby Coon and Jimmy
Skunk thought il a great joke. and they
made up their minds that they would
have some fun with Peter and perhaps
make him see how very foolish he was.
Yes sir, they planned to teach Peter a
lesson. Bobby Coon hurried away TO
find Reddy Fox and tell him that Peter
had gone down to the Smiling Pool and
that if he hid beside the path he might
catch Peter on the way back.
Jimmy Skunk hunted up Blacky the
Crow and Sammy Jay and told them of
his plan and what he wanted them to do
to help. OF course. they promised that

Pretty soon along came Sammy Jay.
Sammy seemed very much excited.
'Oh. Peter Rabbit. I'm so glad I've
found your he cried. I've some very
important news for you"
Peter had all he could do to sit still
and pretend not to hear. but he did.
This is Peter Cottontail." said Jerry
Muskrat, winking at Sammy Jay.

Peter Rabbit And OF he few. chuc-
king to himself.
Peter looked and felt more uncomfort-
able than ever. He babe Jerry Muskrat
goodbye and started for the dear old
briar patch to think things over. When
he was half way there OF Mistah Buzz
card came sailing down out of the sky
"Br'er Cottontail." said he, IF yo' sec
anything of Br'er Rabbit. yo' tell him
that Brer Fox am hiding behind that big
bunch of grass just ahead"
Peter stopped short and his heart gave
a great leap. There behind the clump
of grass was something red sure enough.
Peter didn't wait to see more. He started
for a hiding place he knew of in the
Green Forest as fast as he could go, and
behind him raced Reddy Fox. AS he
ran he heard Blacky the Crow and Sammy
Jay laughing, and then he knew that this
was the news that they had had for him.
.I-I-guess that Peter Rabbit is a good
enough name after ALL he painted.

liminary plans were mapped out for the
collection of funds for a new hospital
In a more central part of the city
which will take the place of the pres
ent institution, located at the south
east corner of Wolfe and Pitt streets.
1t is estimated that the building con-
templated will cost $4,000.
The committee appointed some time
since to devise ways and means re-
ported that the first thing necessary
would be a campaign for funds for the
work and that site and the character
of the building would come second.
and the latter would be largely gov
erned by the amount of money sub
scribed toward the project.
One of the principal events planned
in the interest of the project will be a
bazaar. which will be held at Armory
Hall in October.

pital has been considerably enlarged,
