- NE HUNDRED years ago today
James Buchanan. who in later
- life became president OF the
United States. was elected a member Of
the house OF Representatives in the
Pennsylvania legislature. This marked
the beginning Of Mr.. Buchanan's public
career. At the time he was affiliated
with the Federalist party. He disap-
proved Of the war with England, but
did not shirk the duties Of an American
citizen when the war became fact and
was himself one Of the first volunteers
to march to the defence of Baltimore.
Mr.. Buchanan retired from the legisla-
ture at the end Of his second term
with determination to abandon politi-
cal life and devote himself exclusively
TO the practice OF law. 4 few years
later, however. he was induced TO &C
cept election TO congress and soon be-
came a figure Of national prominence.

Where Mrs. Grouse Was.

Sammy Jay had spread a false report
all through the snow-covered Green For
est and over the glistening Green
Meadows. He had told every one he
met that Farmer Browns boy had killed
poor Mrs Grouse and taken her home for
his dinner. Now. 1t was true that he
had taken her home. but 1t wasn't true
that he had killed her. You see. he had
found her very weak and helpless under
the hard. icy crust that Jack Frost had
made while she was asleep down under
the snow, and which she couldn't break.
Sammy Jay and Peter Rabbit had both
seen her carried away and both knew
that she hadn't been killed But 1t made
a bigger story, a more dreadful story, to
say that she had been killed. and Sammy
Jay dearly loves to tell bad news. Be-
sides. he is always ready to think evil
Of others.
IF he didn't. kill her, then he will kill
her when he gets her home" said Sammy
to himself, land SO it's all right to say
that he has killed her." So he new about
spreading that dreadful false story and
actually enjoyed telling the dreadful
news.
OF course, all the friends Of Mrs
Grouse felt terribly. Some of them Peter
Rabbit saw and he told them Sammy
Jays story was not true-that Mrs.
Grouse had not been killed. But he had
to admit that she had been carried away
by Farmer Browns boy, and to her
friends this seemed almost as bad, for
most of them were very much afraid OF
Farmer Browns boy and quite willing to
believe the very worst Of him. So they

all mourned for poor Mrs Grouse and
said how dreadful and how sad It was
and how they should miss her and how
they hoped that some day something
dreadful would happen to Farmer
Browns boy.
But Mrs. Grouse didn't know anything
about this. At first she had been terribly
frightened when she had been picked up
and knew that Farmer Browns boy held
her a prisoner. But after a little his
hands felt very warm. for she was
shivering with cold. and they seemed
very gentle And then, she didn't know
why she wasn't afraid any more. She
just cuddled right down and felt sure
that nothing dreadful was going to
happen.
And nothing dreadful did happen. Oh
my. no! She was taken up to Farmer
Browns house and right inside. where
it was as warm as in summer and where
Farmer Browns boys mother stroked
her with such gentle hands and said
You poor. poor little birdr' And then
when she was warm she was taken out
to the henhouse and put in box with
plenty of nice warm hay and there she
was left with all the corn and oats and
barley that she could eat. This was
what she needed most. for, you know, II
| was because she had nothing to eat for SO
| long. while she was prisoner under that
dreadful icy crust. that she was too weak
| to fly when the crust was broken.
So she ate and ate until she could eat
no more and then nestled down in the
soft, warm hay to sleep. for she was
tired-so very, very tired. And as she
closed her eyes 1t seemed to her that she
couldn't remember when she had been
so comfortable. certainly not for days and
days. And she could sleep without fear

Besides being more economical and
