Peter Sees Paddy the Beaver
After All.

Peter Rabbit sat on the ice close by
the house of Paddy the Beaver. and
Peter felt very sore and very foolish.
You see. he had tried to play joke
on Paddy He had climbed up on the
roof of Paddy's house. and by humping
on il as only Peter or his cousin. Jumper
the Hare can thump. had tried to fright
en- Paddy to make him think that some
one was trying to break in. But he had
lost his balance and had slid down the
steep slippery roof faster than Little
Joe otter ever slid down one of his slip
perry slides and had landed on the hard
ice with a bump that knocked all the
breath from his body
oh. dear muttered Peter, as he felt
OF his bruises. oh. dear. Whatever
made me think of trying to play such
Joke? And / don't even know whether

There was a great strengthening crea-

he quite forgot that it was under the

ready to run. Then in a flash it came
to him who it might be He bent
forward and looked eagerly. Yes. it was
Paddy the Beaver and he was swim
ming under the ice straight toward his
house In his mouth was little log OF
wood Peter looked n the direction from
which Paddy had come. and there. suSt
above the ice were some small twigs-
Then Peter remembered how in the fall
ne had watched Paddy store a great pile
of aspen logs and branches out in his
pond and how Paddy had told him that
that was his storehoUse of winter food
1t must he that Paddy had been ont
after his dinner and was taking that little
log to his house 10 strip off the bark
which he so dearly loves and eat it in
comfort in his snug chamber above the
water where I.othing could disturb him.
Peter turned back to watch Paddy, but
Paddy had disappeared All Peter saw
was q little bubble of air rising close to
Paddys house. and by that he knew that
Paddy was inside. Peter scratched his
head thoughtfuily

as he thought of how queer Paddy had
looked under the ice ana of how, all the
long winter. he lived in the darkness of
his wonderful house. only coming out to
swim under the ice for his food. a funny
look crept over Peters face, It's queer
how some people do live in this world, :"
he nuttered-
And in his snug. warm chamber Paddy
the Beaver was thinking of Peter Rabbit

Hebrew in Scotland.

Although the famous Scottish re-
former, John Knox, had a fervent
thirst for Hebrew, it was not he, but
one of his associates, John Row, called
Row primus," who first brought the
Hebrew letters to Scotland, and among
his most eager pupils was his own
son, Row secundus, afterward the his
torian of the Church of Scotland. The
first Hebrew book printed and publish
ed in Scotland, 1914, was short gram
mar and vocabulary of Hebrew by
Row tertius, the grandson of Row
primus In 1912, two years before the
appearance of this tiny but epoch
making book, a professorship devoted
exclusively to the teaching of Hebrew
was founded in Scotland-the Hebrew
chair in Toon's college of Edinburgh.
But the fact remains that, in the mat
ter of Semitic scholarship, Scotland
was at this period far behind England,
for the mid-seventeenth century pro-
duced in England a galaxy of Semitic
scholars, at whose feet the foremost
students of the continent were proud
to sit, and the works of Selden, Light
foot, Pococke, Usher and the Polyglot
Bible of Brian Walton remain to this
day unsurpassed as monuments Of
Semitic learning.

Just the thing needed to help in its

Cornhuskers as every hit as strong as

The conference. games resulted as
predicted, but some of them were hard
er fought and closer than most per-
sons expected. Chicago and Illinois
won their games by one-sided scores,
while Minnesota and Wisconsin were
given hard gam and won by narrow
margins.
Badgers Forced to Limit.
Wisconsin had to play all the foot
ball il knew to win from Ohio State,
to 6. The Badgers were forced through
out, and they will have to play better

urday to beat Chicago. The Buckeyes
are not as strong as usual this season
and Wisconsin undoubtedly held them
too cheaply. The Badgers are strong
this season and should be different

Iowa lost another close game and the
fates seem to be against the Hawk
eyes. Minnesota triumphed over Haw-
ley's aggregation, to 0, in contest
which was decided in the first period.
Scion, who is one of the best backs in
the west, crossed the line for the score
which gave his team the victory.
Notre Dame recovered from its Yale

kind of stuff by coming back west for

Sporting Writers Declare He

don. Where he is none of them pre-

document which makes him manager
Of the Brooklyn Federal league ball
club next season. Others accept de
mails of league officials at their face
value and refuse TO get excited over
Rogers alleged jump.
Roger himself has not been heard
from. In fact. so far as can be learn
ed from the newspapers, none of the
baseball writer's has caught a glimpse
OF the elusive backstop of the Cubs.
One of the reports declares Bresna-
han signed a three-year contract to
manage the Feds at fat salary. Incl
dentally pocketing a bonus of $4,000.
On the other hand. Robert B. Ward.
president of the Brooklyn club. denies
that Bresnahan has been signed, and
he ought to know.
James A Gilmore. president of the
Federal league. said yesterday that he
had no knowledge of any negotiations
with Bresnahan.
One report is explained that Roger
IS sore because Hank O'Day has been
