Now. up TO the time that Johnny
Chuck had informed Peter Rabbit
that Sooty the Swift was not a
\ swallow at all, Peter had not been
the least curious about Sooty. But
the minute he found that he didn't
know as much as he supposed he

In summer. he just dubbed over
with curiosity. He asked questions

doorstep. and the last thing he
heard as he curled up In his snug
bedroom. way down In the ground
was Peters voice. asking wistfully,
Please. Johnny Chuck. where does
Sooty live"
But that was question that
Johnny left unanswered. and after a
little Peter made up his mind that
there was no use In staying there.
So he left Johnny Chuck's house
and went on across the Old Orchard
until he had reached a place where.
by sitting up. he could peep over the
old stone wall ON the edge OF the
Old Orchard and see Farmer
Browns house and q little OF the
dooryard That great house and the
things that went on In and around

went 10 that particular place in the
Old Orchard az that hour. just be-
tween daylight and dark. just to
stare at Farmer Browns house and
Farmer Browns Boy doing his even

on the doorstep, waiting for her
supper, and Bowser the Hound

or passed close by him. II was all
very interesting TO Peter and he
never grew tired OF IT, Especially

Bowser's. He studied a great deal
over that tail. or rather over the use

GOOD ROADS,.

Good weather and good roads
are great inducements to automo-
bile owners to be out and seeing
the country, we noticed here last
Sunday a large number of auto
mobiles from neighboring towns.
Our roads are not the best, but
they are as good and We believe
better than those of Iberia parish,
we mean the road from the parish
line to Jeanerette.
Their roads to Salt Mine and
Loreauville are good dirt roads.
st. Martin parish has few pieces
of good roads, but they have been
generally neglected and some of
them have beed kept up by private
money.
We hope, however, that the new
Police Jury will have the means
to give more attention to our roads
