him. Peter just hurried along bursting
, with the news. He stopped at Unc Billy
Possum's house in the big hollow tree.
He knocked long time before any one
answered. Finally old Mrs. Postum poked
her head out.
What do you want, Peter Rabbit?
she asked. GROSSLY. Peter told her the
news. Old Mrs. Possum looked at Peter
sharply to be sure that he was telling
the truth. Then she turned. Get up, yo'
alls!' she snapped. 'Ah done got to do
NAH house cIeaning.'
Peter hurried on to tell Jimmy Skunk.
Jimmy was sleepy and cross. too sleepy
| and cross to believe what Peter said, so
Peter hurried over to Bobby Coon S
! house. He knocked and he Knocked at
the big hollow tree where Bobby Coon
lives. but the only reply he got was an
occa sional snore from Bobby Coon. At
last Peter gave it up and started for the
Smiling Pool to see if Jerry Muskrat was
anywhere about. When he got there he
found that the Smiling Pool was still COW
cred with ice and il Jerry Muskrat was
there he was in his house. or his castle
where Peter could not reach him.
''Oh, dear!" sighed Peter Rabbit. 1T
is dreadful to have such splendid news
and not be able to tell people"
You know, Peter is a. great gossip. and
nothing pleases him quite SO much as to
be the first to tell a, piece OF news. When
he told Sammy Jay, Sammy just turned
up his nose. "Poohr" said he, II heard
that long ago!' Now, this wasn't true,
for he. had heard it only few min
utes before. In fact, he had heard the
whistle of Winsome BIuebird himself.

Peter Rabbit was so excited that he
forgot all about going home to the dear
old brier patch He forgot that he had
been UP all night and that he ought to
go home and sleep little. Indeed. Peter
was so excited that three times he stub
bed his toes and nearly fell fiat on his
way to the Green Forest. You see, Peter
had news, good news, to tell, and Peter
is never so happy as when he is telling
news. rs
The first Peter ran across was HAPPY
Jack Squirrel. Hi. Happy Jack! I've
got some great news!" cried Peter.
Happy Jack grinned. Peter RABBIT al
WAYS had great news. At least Peter al
ways thought it was great. -
well. what is it this time?" asked
Happy Jack.
"Winsome Bluebird has just arrived
cried Peter And he says that gentle
Sister South Wind and Mistress Spring
are close behind =
Its too good to be true declared
Happy Jack Are you sure you saw
Winsome Bluebird?"
"Listen!' said Peter pricking up his
long ears. Happy Jack listened The
sweetest of whistles came to- his little
round ears 1t seemed to come from
nowhere in particular, yet from every
where.
..Hurrah.' cried Happy Jack 1T is
Winsome Bluebird!'' And round and
round he chased his tail just for JOY
But Peter Rabbit didn't stop to watch

Bernard Lehman, who keeps a
string of four department stores on
Emma street near the corner of Vine
yard, seems to be the victim of per-
secution by certain residents of that
district. Tuesday night a large banner
extending nearly the fun length Of the
fronts of the stores, was torn down
and" destroyed, a number Of electric
lamps were broken and other damage
done that Lehman estimates will to-
tai about 500
Lehman claims that. there are res
idents in the vicinity who congregate
in front of his place of business each
evening and accost intended custom
ers with Don't go to the Jew. He
keeps rotten goods"
Lehman figured in an exciting af
fair some time ago when a section Of
his store caught fire during the night
and which Liebnann, claims was in
cendfary, and alleges neighbor was
seen coming from a window of his
store all burned about the hands and
that a can of benzine was found in
the store, as evidence. Eebmann states
that he entered complaint with the
police but for some reason there was
nothing done effectively to bring the
guilty parties to Justice.
Lehman has now offered . reward
for the detection of the parties who
committed the depredations of Tues
day night and has reported the matter
to the police. - ~ ~
