LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME.
Peter Rabbit Becomes False Hero
~ THORNTON w. BURGESS.
(C~pyrswht, 1918, BY J. G. Lloyd-)

More precious than all else TO me
Ny self-respect must always be.
You see II cannot respect my
self cannot expect others to re-
spect me. And am dishonest, but
hide IL so that my neighbors do not
suspect II and still continue to re-
spec me. am not only cheating
them. but am trying to cheat myself
And II | try to cheat myself GER
tainly cannot respect myself. for no
one ever tries To cheat those whom
they respect Just ask Peter Rao-
bit what he thinks about It.
You see. Peter had become a hero
over night. Amy enc who has a
great adventure and comes through
II safeiy Is sure TO be a hero in the
eyes of his neighbors. II was so
with Peter. Hadn't Peter discover
ed a new and terrible danger on the
Green Meadows, You see. the story
OF the thing which had gone of with
a roar like the roar OF Farmer
Browns Boys terrible gun right un.
der Peters nose, as he was runnin 9
across the Green Meadows in the
night. had spread all over the Green
Meadows and through the Green
Forest. With every time repeated
the story had grown until II had
made Peter a hero, who had escap-
ed death by the skin OF his teeth.
and had then hurried 10 warn his
|neighbors OF the new and awful
danger.
SO If was that when Peter return
ed from his call on Bob White he
found that everybody looked on him
with the greatest respect, and all
his neighbors wanted TO hear the
story from his OWE lips. At first
Peter felt very much fattered He
dearly loves TO be admired. II is
very nice to be regarded as a hero.
But down In his heart he knew that
II was all false. You see he had
found out that terrible roar, which
had so frightened him. was nothing
terrible at all, but merely the sound
OF the strong. little wings OF Bob
Whites family, all beating the air
at once.
So Peter knew that instead OF a
real hero OF real adventure he was
just the opposite. lie had run away
In terrible fright from something
which was wholly harmless. ANY
way. Bob White has promised not TO
tell" thought Peter, "and certainly
am not going to tell myself. Why.
everybody would laugh at mo In
stead OF respecting me as they do
now"
But DO you respect yourselfy"
asked small voice inside of him.

WE MUST PAY THE
PRICE FOR EVERYTHING
No Sin But What Infiicts Punishment
Asserts Rabbi CrOn-
bach.

For everything a price has 10 be
paid. Food. clothing. fuel have their
prices. Try to eVade the price by
theft or beggary and you must pay a
higher price of the shame that comes
from theft and beggary' said Rabbi
Cronbach in an interesting talk to the
boys of the y NJ. G. a last night. in
his lecture on You Pay the Price"
The humiliation of being TebulIed
for hardness at school or at work is
the price that must be paid for lott
ering. The modification of turning
out a bad piece of work is the price
that is paid for Incidence.
Loss of health is the price paid
for debauchery and excuses. Most
or our worries are the price we must
pay for our vanities cOnceit, and
pretensions Eternal vigilance is the
price not only of liberty but also of
health and many another good thing
in life.
Education has its price. Educa-
ton is not free. In some form or
other everybody contributes to the
taxes upon which the schools depend
for maintenance. Besides this hard
work and labOrious study is the price
of education. An ancient Jewish Rabbi
once said. None acquires culture who
does not sacrifice his life for eul-
ture'
In speaking Of salvation. Rabbi
Cronbach said: 1t is not true that
salvation is free. Salvation means
strength of will, purity of heart. These
have their price. Self denial is the
price. self discipline. self restraint and
self sacrifice.
PAY the price and you Will not fail
TO receive that for which you pay Tor.
