Jerry Muskrat Learns Some
thing.

If you think you know il all
You riding for fall.
Use your ears and use your eyes,
But hold your tongue and you'll be Wise.
Jerry Muskrat will tell you that that is
as true true can be. Jerry knows
He found it out for himself. Now he is
very careful what he says about other
people or what they are doing. But he
wasn't so careful when his cousin. Paddy
the Beaver. was building his house. No,
sir. Jerry wasn't SO careful then He
thought he knew more about building d
house than Paddy did. He was sure of it
when he watched Paddy heap up a great
pile of mud right in the middle where his
room ought to be, and then build wall
of sticks around it. He said as much
to Peter Rabbit.
Now it is never safe to say anything TO
Peter Rabbit that you don't care to have
others know. Peter has a great deal of
respect for Jerry Muskrat's opinion on
house building. You see, he very much
admires Jerry's snug house in the Smil-
ing Pool. 1t really is a very fine house,
and Jerry may be excused for being
proud of it. But that doesn't excuse
Jerry for thinking that he knows all
there is to know about house building. VI
course. Peter told every one he met that
Paddy the Beaver was making a foolish
mistake in building his house, and that
Jerry Muskrat, who ought to know, said
so.
So whenever they got the chance the
little people OF the Green Forest and the
Green Meadows would steal up to the
shore of Paddy's new pond deep in the
Green Forest and chuckle as they looked
out at the great pile of sticks and mud
which Paddy had built for house. but
in which he had forgotten to make a
room. At least they supposed that he
had forgotten this very important thing.
He must have, for there wasn't any
room. 1t was a great joke. They laugh
ed a lot about it, and they lost a great

But she did not think of it as being ex-
aetly beautiful. She only knew that on
hot days like this it pulled at her head
uneasily. 1t was a relief to loosen it and
shake it free that the air could get in

all unbraided she stood up and began TO
toss il about, lifting and shredding il

head far back the ends of the mass

Standing thus. she heard strange

She reached the man and stood over

kneeied and touched him. There was
blood on his head. His cap had rolled
off: his body looked limp and crum-
pied; his eyes were closed. Yet she
knew that he was not dead. And she
was glad He was so pitifully young,
so slender and so fair.
She moaned aloud: "Oh. what shall
