1t grows and grows and grows.
With every little ugly deed
It grows and grows and Grows; ..
When in the garden Of your heart
1t once has gained a little start
1t crowds out every blossom. fair
And grows and grows and grows.
Hate was in the heart Of Reddy Fox
hate OF Jimmy Skunk. Yes, sir, Reddy
Fox hated Jimmy Skunk! What had
Jimmy Skunk done? Why, he had kept
Reddy Fox from catching Peter Rab'
bit. And so Reddy Fox hated him
And he hated him still more because
he has a very wholesome respect FOL
Jimmy Skunk's ability to take care OF
himself. You see. Reddy Fox is really
a coward at heart. He didn't dare to
openly fight with Jimmy Skunk. No
sir, he didn't dare.
And so Reddy Fox spent all his spare
time studying and studying how he could
get even with Jimmy Skunk without
danger to himself. First. he tried to
think of some one who wasn't afraid of
Jimmy Skunk. whom he could get to help
him. But there wasn't one. Think az
hard as ever he could, he couldn't think
of any one who would or could help
him get even with Jimmy Skunk. You
see, everybody else had just as much
respect for Jimmy Skunk's ability to
take care OF himself as Reddy Fox had.
Now, Reddy didn't let Jimmy Skunk
know that he was studying and studying
howe he could get even. Oh, my, no.
No, indeed! Reddy Fox is too sly and
deceitful for that. He pretended to have
forgotten all about the threat to
get even, and whenever he met Jimmy
Skunk he was as polite as he knew how
to be- and no one can be any more polite
than Reddy Fox. But all the time he was
thinking and thinking how he could get
even.
Now, Of course. Peter Rabbit had heard
Reddy Fox make that threat, and 1t
troubled Peter a great deal. In fact, II
troubled Peter a great deal more than 1t
did Jimmy Skunk. Indeed, 1t didn't trou-
Bile Jimmy at all. He Is such q lazy,
good -natured little fellow. and so sure
he can take care OF himself, that he
doesn't worry about anything. But Peter
Rabbit worried. You see, Peter had had
so many narrow escapes from Reddy
Fox that he was very suspicious, and
the more he saw Of Reddy's politeness
the more suspicious he grew.
You better watch out for Reddy Fox"
he would say every time he met Jimmy
Skunk.
Jimmy would just laugh In his lazy
way and say that he wasn't afraid.
why. I'm not afraid OF anybody or
anything excepting Farmer Browns boy
and his dreadful gum" said Jimmy one
day az he stopped on the edge of the

want him to make n good alliance in the
coming senatorial primary, and they be-
lieve that he will be able to make bet
ter showing II he is on the progressive
band wagon than he would as a camp
follower of Smith. Should Covington
make the break to the progressives it will
be followed by a political upheaval on
the eastern shore and realignments in
Talbot and other counties in that belt.
In Cecil county the Crothers faction has
already come out into the open for the
Marbury-Lee end OF the fight, and this
action has placed many of the regular
county organization in a peculiar posi-
| ton. Many Of these regulars" fgur-
ing that Lee would not oppose Smith,
have been shouting and whooping things
up for the Montgomery man, while 9TH
ers have openly announced themselves as
In favor Of Lee. The refusal Of Lee to
discuss his plans has prevented the Cecil
regulars" from changing their attitude
toward the Montgomery man, and hence
their hands are tied and they are unable
ward Lee.
Guessing Over Talbot.
Representative Talbot is another big
leader who Is keeping the aspirants on
the anxious bench. He has failed thus
far to state who will get his support in
the primaries. He has. however. as FORE
cast in The Star, declared himself out
of the race. 1t had been known for
some time that his friends were anxious
for him to get into the fight, and this
week he set at rest all doubts about his
attitude on being candidate.
Il am out of the race for the United
States Senate, and I do not want to get
back into it, he said. 1T is true that

candidacy and get back into the fight

John j. Mahon. who will direct the fight
Tor the organization candidates. The ma
chine, 1t may be stated, Is all ready for
the word from Smith and Preston, and
when that word comes the campaign will
be a whirlwind from start to finish.
Progressives Are at Sea.
The progressive organization is in a
chaotic state, because no word has come
from Lee that he intends to link his for
tunes with those of Marbury. The Mar
buryites are taking 1t for granted that
Lee must make common cause with the
baltimore man and are not troubling
Themselves much with getting down to
brass tacks on the organization Of a
working body that is supposed to put
the candidate across. They appear to
be waiting word from Lee before they
will attempt to get under. way. They
seem to take for granted that the Mont
gomery man will line up with Marbury.
as they assert that Lee was given to
understand during his conference at the
White House last week that the ticket
is to be Marbury and Lee.
Some of the Lee adherents are not at
all pleased over the turn OF AFFAIRS. claim
ing that Lee as candidate untncumber-
ed by an alliance. would prove almost in
vincibie to either Preston or any other
candidate, but that linked up with Mar
bury he would be compelled to carry the
Baltimore entry as q handicap to his own
chances Of success. 1t Is admitted on all
sides that Marbury will prove q very
little trouble in defeating him. Smith
himself is not very strong these days and
Preston will have to carry" the senior
senator as a handicap, which equals UP
things between the two aspirants for the
short term.
Mayor Preston will make his formal an
nouncement during the coming week. and
VIII then at once get on his campaigning
toys and go after the men who are be-
hind the candidacy Of Marbury. He will
assatl Charles H. Grasty, the sponsor for
Marbury, on the hustings throughout the
state and all over the city. At the pres
ent time the mayor has a number of
emissaries out all over the state and is
laying his lines SO that all will be In
readiness when he losses his hat into the
ring. His friends assert that he will
prove the strongest candidate In the field
and that when the votes are counted 1t
will be found that Preston will have the
high vote.
Eastern Shore in Doubt.
The situation on the eastern shore is
not at all roseate for the Smith end of
the tight. Well founded reports are COM
ing to the city that Representative J.
Harry Covinguon will swing into line for
the Marbury-Lee combination. Ever since
his entry into politics Covington has
been regarded as q warm partisan Of
Smith and has lined up with the old
guard. Now, however, times have chang
ed, and II is said that Smith Ii no longer
in position to hold Covington in line.

long been casting eyes at the guber-

PARADISE VALLEY ID
 BE SURVEYED AGAIN
Activity in Lands There Together With Fact All Landmarks Are
 Obliterated Makes Necessary.

1 A complet resurveying of the en- l tire Paradise valley region has been authorized by the United States land ! office; within, at the most, sixty days the gangs will be ready to pro- ceed with the work.
 This was the announcement of Sur veyor General Ingalls, yesterday.
 The almost complete obBteration of landmarks. corners and stakes of all
 sorts in the Paradise valley, has made it necessary for late settlers and for those who have had any sort of deals at all in this region. to make their locations only on paper, as there is nothing but rule of thumb on which to base the land lines. Floods stock, vandals and other re- specters of no person have ruined almost every stake put in in the last survey of this tract. made by the government several years ago. The former survey was, in fact only q reconnaissance, as it were, and will be far outstripped in completeness by the one just ordered. It is on pc tition of Paradise valley land holders that the survey is being made.
 Activity in the valley has made it necessary for the government to establish it's survey more fully than ever before

Behold proud Rome, two thousand
years ago,
Nought else had she but direful crime
and woe.
The lands and seas held fast within
her sway,
OF truth and virtue found no bright
ming ray.
But 10. from darkness light was seen
to rise,
A glorious cross, its splendor dimmed
all eyes.

from even the bitter weed of adyer-

no way SO much as by being our

to weave beautiful deeds in our web
then we must have beautiful thoughts.

music which comes of blending our
duties, our pursuits In life, with the
principles of morality and virtue in
culcated by pastor, teachers and par

be the aim of all loyal hearts. We
cannot all hope to reach the top of
the ladder of fame but we can be-
