Endorsement of William NICK. Clayton

by the East Washington Suburban Citi-

In presenting his resolution. which was

that his efforts and aggressive activity in
the campaign for the success of the DEM

of the aspirants for this position.
An appropriation of $4,000 for street

Reddy Fox had never felt SO impatient
in all his life. He couldn't sit still. You
see Reddy had secret, a secret all his
very own. He hadn't even told old Gran
nv Fox The truth is he had taken the
very greatest care that Old Granny Fox
should know nothing about it, for right
down in his heart Reddy knew that she
wouldn't approve of what he had done.
She had forbidden him to go near Farm
err Browns henhouse, and he had dis
obeyed her.
You see 1t was this way: Jimmy Skunk
had prevented Reddy catching Peter
Rabbit, and Reddy had declared that he
would get even with Jimmy Skunk. SO
Reddy had stolen up to Farmer Brown s
henhouse and caught a fat chicken. Then
when he was sure that Jimmy Skunk had
gone to bed way down in his snug bed
room deep under ground, Reddy had left
the fat chicken on Jimmy Skunk's door
step. Was it a present for Jimmy
Skunk? Oh, my, no! You see Reddy felt
sure that Farmer Browns boy would
miss that fat chicken and would go look
ing for it. And SO Reddy had left it
right in plain sight on Jimmy Skunk S
doorstep so that Farmer Browns boy
would be sure to see it and think that
Jimmy Skunk had taken 1t. That is the
way Reddy Fox meant to get even.
Reddy had hurried back to the Green
Forest and hidden in his secret hiding
place. chuckling a wicked chuclae to
think how smart he had been. He lay
there a long time and that is how it hap
pens that he didn't see Peter Rabbit stop
at Jimmy Skunk's house. But by and
by Reddy's curiosity to see how his plan
was working out got the better of him.
He simply had to go peek. Very. very
carefully he stole. to the edge Of the
Green Forest, where he could look over
| to Jimmy Skunk's house. There lay the
fat chicken just where he had left it.
Then Reddy hurried over to the other
edge of the Green Forest where he could
look over to Farmer Browns. BY and
bv he saw Farmer Browns boy walking
around outside of the henhouse, looking
this way and that. He was looking for
the fat chicken. Then he went into the
house and pretty soon he came with his
terrible gun and whistled for Bowser the
Hound Reddy didn't wait to see any
more He knew that Farmer Brown s
hoy was going to hunt for the one who
had stolen the fat chicken. He felt per-
fectly safe, for 1t had rained little after
he had stolen the chicken and the rain
had washed away all the scent of his
tracks, SO that Bowser the Hound
couldn't follow them. You know the
rain is one of the best friends that Reddy
Fox and the other little meadow and
forest people who leave scent in their
tracks have

The Return Of the Birds.

HISTORY Of CONGRESS
ISSUED BY GOVERNMENT
Biographies of Representa-
tives and Senators-Data
Regarding the Presidents.

One of the most valuable reference
books to be issued by the government has
just come from the presses of the gov
eminent printing office. a biographical
congressional directory with an outline
history of the national Congress from the
year l1s4 to 1911, inclusive, including the
Continental Congress which was held
from liza to 111S. 1t is published as Sen
ate document 65t, second session of the
Sixty-first Congress.
The work of compiling this book was
done under the authorize ton of Senate
resolution of June p. 1910 The actual
work of compilation was in the hands of
Henry NJ Rose. assistant secretary of the
Senate. and Ansel Void. printing clerk
OF the Senate.
Embraces 10000 Names,
The book contains biographical sketches
of every man who has ever been in Con-
gress since 1774. which makes total of
something over 10000 names. The COM
pliers were most painstaking in their eff
forts and all errors contained in earlier
editions have been corrected as far as it
was possible to do SO, and in every in
stance the full name of man is given
whenever it could be ascertained, pre-
Biographical sketches first appeared in
the directory Of one which was complied
in 1860 when it was requested by the joint
committee on printing that no gentleman
shall occupy over ten lines in print The
present edition gives longer biographical
data when it was thought that the sub
ject demanded it.
The Presidents who have served in Con-
gress are given lengthy sketches 1t is
noted in Lincoln's sketch that he was IAN

of the general land office under President

about the martyred President.
