Little Pete Catches Up With White
Spot.
Lipperty-lipperty-lip scampered lit
tle Pete out on to the great shadowy
Green Meadows with his eyes fast on
the white spot which he was sure was
his mothers white tail. Out here
there were no nice little paths cut
by his father. Peter Rabbit, and run
ming wasn't as easy as he had thought
1T would be. Sometimes the meadow
grass was so tall and thick that he
couldn't run and would lose sight OF
the twinkling white spot he al try
ing 30 hard to catch up with. Then
when he had .crawled through to
where the grass was shorter he would
see 1t again and try harder thai ever
to. catch up.
He had felt very brave when he
left the old briar patch. He had said
to himself that there wasn't the least
pit Of danger out on the Green
more a certain little neasy feeling
grew. How big the Green Meadows
was! How terribly lonesome it was
out here all alone! He did wish that
his mother would sit down and wait
for him. But, il she should sit down
he wouldn't be able to see her tail,
which was all he could see of her in
the dark. When he remembered that
he hoped that she wouldn't sit down,
because without thai to watch he
would feel even more lonely and
frightened than he did now. The
very thought made him catch his
breath and try to run faster, al
though he was getting. out of breath
now.
So he kept his eyes fast on that
moving white spot and struggled on.
It was growing bigger now and Little
Pete knew that he was getting nearer
to it. His. courage began to come
back a little. 1t seemed to him that
he had been running a long, long
time. such a long time! 1t was queer.
that his mother should go SO far out
on the meadows. It al still more
queer hat he couldn't see the little
white tails Of his brother and sisters,
for, Of course, they must be just be-.
hind her. And how funny she RAM

When he had followed her along the
little paths through the dear old brial
patch her white tail had bobbed UP
and down. up and down, but now II
hardly bobbed at all. But It kept
moving. sometimes very fast and
sometimes so slowly that he had hard
work to make sure that 1t moved al
all. Sometimes it went off to one side
and then suddenly would urn and
go in the other direction.
Once it seemed to come straight to-
ward him. Little Pete sat down and
stared at it. It was queer. Yes. sir.
1t was very queer! He never had
seen his mother run backward, but If
she wasn't running backward, how
could he see her tail coming toward
him? II she had turned to ru.l to-
ward him. Of course he couldn't have
seen her tail al all. Yet here was
this white spot coming nearer and
nearer! 1t must be that something
was wrong with his eyes,. He rubbed
them and then closed them for just
a minute. When he opened them
again the white spot was going away
from him.
ut was my eyes," said little Pete
with a sigh Of relief. and started on
again But still he had q queer feel
ing. Somehow 1t didn't seem right
|. Just then he heard the terrible
hunting call Of Hooty the Owl. Little
Pete shivered all over. He had heard
It before when he was safe in the old
briar, patch. but out here on the Green
Meadows 1t sounded ever and ever so
much louder and so dreadfully fierce!
It made him run faster than ever,
lipperty-
At last he was almost up to the
white spot he had been chasing so
long. Just ahead was a dark little
patch which he thought might be a
bush. The white spot stopped there
and little Peter made one last effort
to catch up. He felt. oh. SO weak and
trcmbly, for his little legs We're very,
very tired with his long run. oh,
mother!" he painted. oh"
Little Pete gave a frightened gasp
and fell fiat right where he was, too
frightened to move. His mother
wasn't there at all! The white spot
he had thought was her tail was moth

c. c. SAND|FER
SUNDAY

George G. Sandifer, a native Of
Mecklenburg and for the past twelve
months a resident of Hendersonyille,
died in this city Sunday afternoon.
The remains were inferred in Oak
dale cemetery Monday afternoon, Rev.
Mr.. ShriVe, the Presbyterian minis
ter, officiating.
The following served as pallbearers:
G. s. Fullhright, A. H. Hawkins Mr.
Gray, E. r. Black, j. T. Crane and J..
O. Williams.
Surviving are littlegirl and Mrs.
Sandifer, who is better known in Hen
dersonyille, her native home, as Miss
Norma Bryson, who has the sympathy
of a host of friends in her bereaYe-
ment.
The deceased had many friends in
Hendersonyille, where he had become
well known during his residence here.
The following from the Charlotte
Observer of Monday is interesting in
this connection:
To many of Mr.. Sandifer's friends,
who did not know of the seriousness
Of his condition, the news of his pass
ing will come as a distinct shock. He
was only about 80 years of age and
when last he lived in this city, two
years ago, his health was apparently
good, but year ago it failed and he.
spent several months in Arizona in
what proved to be vain hope of i'm
proving his condition.
While here Mr.. Sandifer was en-
gagged in the insurance business and
had quite wide acquaintance. He
was companionable and popular, and
his character was of the best. In
1911 he was married to Miss Norma
Brysen, who was living here at that
time, and they removed to Henderson
Vile where he made his home there
after. He is survived by his wife and
a little daughter, Sarah Thorne Sandi-
fer. He is survived also by his moth
er, Mrs. G. G. Sandifer, and the fol-
lowing brothers and sisters: Mr.. Gra-
ham Sandifer of Washington, Mr.. Ed
ward Sandifer of Dallas, this State,
Captain Jos San1ifer of Woodberry
School, va, Mrs Daisy Hall of Bel
mont, Mrs. Randolph of Monroe and
Mrs. Mary Sadler His mother, his
brother, Captain Sandifer and his sis
ter, Mrs.. Sadler, had been with him
for some time. He was son of the
late DR.. T. T. Sandifer, one of the
best known residents of this county,
who died some years ago.

RETURNS FROM CHICAGO.


Commissioner ShipmaR Back From
Convention of Labor Commissioners
of United States and Canadian Pro-
Tinces.
Mr.. M. L. Shipman, State commits
sioner of labor and printing, has re-
turned to Raleigh from visit to Chi
cago, where he attended the annual
convention of the international Asso-
citation of Labor Commissioners and
Factory Inspectors. Mr.. Shipman says
he met a number of delegates who at
tended the convention in this city three
years ago and they are still singing
the praises of Hendersonville and her
hospitable people. Special inquiry
was made of Maj. and Mrs. S. v. Pick
ems, Mayor Station, Mrs. Charles r.
Whitaker, Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Smith,

during their stay here.

election has wroght many changes in
the personnel of the Association and
a number of new faces will appear at
the next meeting. He thinks the Chi
eago meeting was very interesting and
Instructive and Isl much pleased with
cordial reception given the delegates
by the Chicago people, especially the
general treatment shown them by the

PROGRESSIVE PARTY LEADS TO
ANARCHY, SAYS PROF. TAFT.

New Haven, Conn, May 12.-In his
fourth lecture on "Some questions or
modern government" at Yale today,
Prof. VIM. H. Taft, characterized the
form of government advocated by the
Progressives as chair trigger" and
leading to anarchy and a despotism
of the majority" Prof. Taft's state
ments were made in connection with
his discussion of the recall of legisla-
tive and administrative officers. He
promised to discuss the recall of the
judicial decisions, which embodies the
recall of judges at a later date.
"The objection to the recall is not
that it takes away the Office from the
official" he said, ''but that it is an OBJ
stacle to the efficiency of government.
Men do not administer government OF
which the recall is a part, but admin
lister it so their enemies may have no
opportunity to make malicious attacks
upon them. Government is for the
purpose of accomplishing something.
Had men like Washington, Lincoln,
Jefferson and Madison served under
the recall they would probably all
have been recalled. Time has since
said of them well done, thou good
and faithful servant.
Such hair trigger methods of govern
ment are said to be progressive. They
are not; instead this is retrogression;
it is going backward; it is adopting
feature of government rejected years
ago.
Leaders of this movement dwell
upon the statement that the people
have been seized with an almost re-
ligious zeal for cleanliness of govern
ment. Aspiration for better things
ought to be redicufed by no one; but
has sin left us? Are we not all sub
1ect to the same weaknesses that have
been recognized for six thousand
years?
rs there not in every line of the
campaign speeches, platforms and ut
terances of the men or the new school
the assumption that they have dis
charged all of their duty and that
their sole feeling in the matter is one
OF brotherly love.
Phe sole thought in all is socialis-
uc-the ideal to make the rich poor
er and the poor richer, leveling of
property holdings. Ultimately this
TACT will be known
