JIM CROWS BLACK COAT.
Mr.. Peter Grow lived at the top of
a tall poplar tree and every morning
he would get up before dawn and start
singing. Now, as everybody knows,
crows cans sing pretty songs like
most other birds can, but only cav
cav" song, which is very harsh and
dismal.
But Mr.. Peter Grow thought he had
beautiful voice and always sang ev-
cry morning. Now he happened to be
quite an old crow and had been singing
ever since he was a wee little crow
let So all the other birds which lived
near the poplar had become accus-
toned to hear Mr.. Peter Crow sing ev-
cry morning. OF course, none of them
liked it, but he was bigger than any
of them, and so they were afraid to
tell him what an ugly voice he had
Now it happened that very close to
Mr.. Peter Crow lived an old gray owl.
OF course, owls stay out at night and
sleep in the day time. But one night
old Mr. Owl found such nice little
rat that he stayed too long, and when
he started home it was almost day.
So just as he started to go to sleep
MIR. Peter Grow woke up and began to
sing.
Hi. there" called Mr.. Owl. Il
can't get to sleep with you making
that noise!"
"Then stay awake" called back Mr..
Peter Grow, who knew he was bigger
than the birds and who thought it was
one of them talking.
Indeed" said Mr.. OWL getting very
mad
When Mr.. Peter Crow heard this he
cot mad, too, and called back:
"Who are you to stop my morning
song?"
I'm Mr.. William Owl, that's who |
am" roared the owl, who was terribly
mad now.
Mr.. Peter Grow did not answer this,
as he knew the owl was lots bigger
than he was. But the owl was too mad
to let the matter drop so he flew to the
poplar tree and right up to Mr.. Peter
Crow. who was beginning to tremble.
There sat Mr.. Peter Grow, who was
very white, as all crows were in those
days. and very much scared. =
"I'll teach you to keep me awake
roared old Mr.. Owl, and as he spoke
he grabbed Mr.. Peter Crow in his
claws and flew away with him.
ooh, won't sing any more; honest ]
| won't" said Mr.. Peter Grow, who
was very much afraid.
But Mr.. Owl would not answer, but
just kept on flying and flying. Finally
he came to big forest, which was
very dark and gloomy. He few right

hole Mr.. Owl thrust Peter Crow, and /
before he could get out the owl had |

the sweeping away of the COM
bination Broadway restaurant and
dance establishment But in her
opinion this will be good radiance,
as she maintains that its object never
was to give anybody good time. The
financial side was the only thing and
meant the selling of drinks In the
East Side night-dance restaurants, the
girls were encouraged to come, be-
cause the girls attracted the men, and
the men bought drinks. But on Broad
way there is a reverse order Of things.
The men are there, the men attract the
girls and the girls pay for the drinks!
Certainly this seems a curious pro-
ceeding. Now l have always consid-
cred the afternoon the dansant, in its
accepted form of alternate fOX-trOtting
and tea-drinking, an amusing and alto
eether innocuous affair. But apparent
ly in the great gay city it is something
very different Why do drinks need to
be introduced into these affairs any
how? Why can't people learn to take
their pleasures more simply? And
above all, in this matter of paying for
masculine attention, when will women
learn to be sensible?
For common sense and moderation
are the keynotes to true relaxation.
Hectic excitement does not bring hap
piness; it does not even mean pleas
ure. And until human beings come
to realize this fact, every simple little
enjoyment, such as the afternoon the
dansant in the restaurant, will degen-
crate into something impossible and
be finally spoiled for all sensible peo-
pie.

prisoner in tree trunk, which was so
dark that he couldn't see at all. Peter
Grow was very unhappy, but he kept
on singing in the hopes of making
some one hear who would let him out
After what seemed to be long time
to Peter Grow, a woodpecker came
along and heard him singing and be-
gan to peck away the moss. After
much hard work, the moss was pulled
away so Peter could crawl out, but
he was very weak and couldn't see at
all when he was suddenly in the light
When he was strong enough to fly and
the light did not hurt his eyes, he
thanked the woodpecker and flew to
his poplar tree.
And the next morning he got up
very early and started to sing. But it
was even a more dismal song than
usual and as Mr.. Owl had gone home
early the night before he was fast
asleep and did not hear Peter Grow.
Peter Crow was just beginning to
feel pretty well when he heard little
lark laugh. Peter Crow couldn't un-
derstand it. Then he happened to
look down and saw himself. He was
jet black. The hollow in the tree had
been so dark he had turned black from
being in it. Poor Peter Crow was so
