Home Again at Last.

When Little Pete recovered his\ breath
and his feet and looked up to AID tina.
IT was his father, Peter Rabbit, WIZ, had
sent him SPRAYING Just as he was about
to enter the queer house in Farmer
Browns garden. he was so asto7ishei
that he couldn't find his tongue. Bbt he
didn't need to: Peter was talking ertpugh
for both.
do you know where you would be how
II I hadn't come along in the very nick
of timer" asked Peter. and then without
waiting for a reply he answered his oAp
question. You would be a prisoner insidR
that box. 1 suppose you thought tha(
was somebody's house, but II isn't; It's q
trap. That's what II is--a trap. II wns
set by Farmer Browns boy. and II you
had been caught he would have carried
you away and nobody knows what would
good. and the next time you see anything
like 1t keep away from 1t. Now you sit
right here and watch me-"
Peter hoped over behind the queer
looking box which he said was a trap.
He cut a string with his sharp teeth and
the door which had beer so temptingly
open closed with a bang that made Little
Pete Jump.
That's Just what would have happened
II you had gone inside and touched that
piece of carrot, as you We're going 10 do
when l kicked you over among the cab
bages," said Peter. Then what would
you have done? Tell me that
IL don't know faltered Little Pete.
''It looked like a nice little house. and
and L Just wanted to see what IL was
like inside
Curiosity, Just idle curiosity" snapped
Peter Some day curiosity is likely Tn
get you into trouble. which you cant get
out of If you don't overcome it"
How Sammy jay would have laughed
IL he could have heard Peter say that.
You know all his life long curiosity has
been Peters greatest failing, and has
gotten him into all kinds of scrapes. But
to have heard him talking to Little Pete
you would have thought that IL was the
very last thing in the world that he him
self would have been guilty of.
Now, what are you over here In Farm
er Browns garden for?" continued Peter
severely. Didn't Danny Meadow Mouse
warn you not to come over here, but to
stick to the old stone waltz
Yes" replied Little Pete in very low
voice but little Mr.. Garter Snake says
that Danny is so timid that he is afraid
of his own shadow, and-and wanted to
show him that I wasn't afraid. Besides.
the cabbages did smell 30 good!'
so you chose to believe that mischief
maker, Mr. Garter Snake rather than
Danny Meadow Mouse, who had led YOU
safely to the old stone wall and then gone
all the way over to the old briar-patch
to tell me where you were! That shows
Just what a silly, foolish young Rabbit
you are and how much you've got TO
learn before you can be trusted to take

BABIES IN PRISON.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. 1913. by Frank crsne.D

The grandeur and beauty of our great
North American, automatic, self-cockins
system of law was revealed recently in
a magistrates court in New York city.
A woman, janitress Of an apartment,
was brought into court because the ash
cans at her place had no covers on them,
contrary to the peace and dignity of the
city of New York and to the statutes
made and provided.
The woman was fined So and not hav-
ing SO much coin upon her person. was
thrust into a dungeon cell, where she
would have lain until such time as she
had sweated out 50 worth, and thus
healed the fractured majesty of the COM
monwealth, had not several human pe-
ings ito wit, reporters policemen ana
turnkeys) volunteered to pay the needed
sum.
Pass here the question whether two
dollar bill is always a hoodoo and pro-
coed to a more serious phase of the
issue.
This woman was a mother. Her two
babies. Don.enico, two and half years
old. and Antonio, eleven months, were
with her.
This did not please his honor, who
sharply inquired:
why did you bring these children with
your" a most pertinent question. set II
down. They should have been left In
charge of the second girl or sent Tor a
spin in the limousine in the park.
The accused, however, made answer:
because / didn't have anybody to leave
them with.
1.-TWO dollars" said the magistrate.
The woman walled. She had no two
dollars. She was ordered locked up.
Exit She therefore, with Antonio at
the breast and Domenico Juggling at her
skirts.
An agent Of the Children's Society being
present had heart shifting, and in Chris
tian kindness offered to take the children
away, This is a lovely touch, the dra-
matte beauty of which it is hoped none
will miss.
The criminal lady very properly re-
fused to let her babies go, and so all
three of the terrible enemies OF society
traipSed into cell.
She did not remain there long, thanks
to the above mentioned human pemss'
but she was there. mother ana ner
two children We're locked up as coililiioii
offenders by judge in civilized coun-
try!
Doubtless the magistrate is an honor
able man ESQ are we all, all honorable
nen') and does right In his sphere ana
metes out punishment with an equai
hand But it might be suggested that
there are two qualities in a judge which
from the days of Solomon and the times
of Portia until now have formed WIN
rectitude. a trinity of grace:
Heart and
Common sense.
Enthusiastically garbage cans should be
