The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1916-05-30

Come out, Peter, I'm waiting for
you!" he called down the hall. and
made his voice sound as angry as
he could. But inside he was chuck
ling. Then Jimmy Skunk calmly
turned and went about his bust
ness. He had kept his word.
AS for Peter Rabbit that had been
one OF the very worst days he could
recall. He had ached and smarted
from the stings Of the Yellow-jack-
cts, he had worried all day about
what would happen to him II he did
meet Jimmy Skunk. and he was
hungry. He had had Just q little
bit Of hope and this was that Jimmy
Skunk wouldn't come back when II
grew dark. He had crept part way
up the hall at the first hint of night,
and stretched himself out to wait
until he could be sure that those
dreadful Yellow-jackets had gone to
sleep. He had Just about made up
his mind that IL was safe for him
TO scamper out when Jimmy
Skunk's voice came down the hall
to him. Poor Peter! The sound Of
that voice almost broke his heart.
He has come back. He's kept
his word" he half sobbed as he once
more went back to Johnny Chuck's
old bedroom.
There he stayed nearly all the
rest of the night. though his stom-
ach was so empty II ached. You
know Peter Is a great eater. Just
before II was time for Mr.. Sun
to rise. Peter ventured to dash out
OF Johnny Chuck's old house. He
got past the home OF the Yellow
Jackets safely, for they we're not yet
awake. With his heart In his mouth
he sprang out Of the doorway. jim
my Skunk wasn't there. II Peter
only had known Il, he hadn't been
there since he had called to him
the last time. With a sigh OF re-
lief Peter started for the dear, safe

"Ill never, never play another
Joke" he said over and over again
as he ran.

LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME

BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
Keep your word whate'er you do,
And to your Utmost self be. true.
When Jimmy Skunk shouted down
the hall OF Johnny Chuck's old house
/. to Peter Rabbit that he would come
back at dark he was half joking.
He did II to make Peter uneasy and
to worry him. The truth is Jimmy
was no longer angry at all with Pc
ter. He had quite recovered his
good nature and was very much in
clined to laugh himself over Peters
trick, which had sent him rolling
down hill in a barrel and had given
him the greatest shaking.up he ever
had had in his whole life. But he
felt that IL wouldn't do to let Peter
OF without some kind OF punish
ment and SO he decided to brighten
Peter q little. He knew that Peter
wouldn't dare come out during the
daytime because of the Yellow
Jackets. whose home was just in
side the doorway OF that old house.
and he knew that Peter wouldn't
dare to face him for he would be
afraid OF being treated as Reddy
Fox had been. So that Is why he
told Peter that he was coming back
Ut dark. He felt that II Peter was
kept q prisoner in there for
while, all the time worrying about
how he was to get out, he would be
very slow to try such trick again.
A Jimmy ambled away to look
for some beetles he chuckled and
chuckled and chuckled. Il guess
that BY this time Peter wishes he
hadn't thought OF that Joke on Red
dy FOX and myself" said he. Per
haps I'll go back there tonight and
perhaps won't. He won't know
whether do or not and he won't
dare come out"
Then ne stopped and scratched his
head thoughtfully. Then he sighed.
Then he scratched his head again
and once more sighed. II really
don't want to go back there to-
night" he muttered, but | guess
I'll have to. said would and so

all the day there. When jolly,
round, red Mr.. Sun went to bed be-
hind the Purple Hills and the Black
Shadows came trooping across the

ambled down TO Johnny Chuck's old

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 25.-The
whiskcy delivery depot of the
Southern Express company in At
lanta will have to be located in
side the central fire limits, accord
ing to a decision just rendered by
Judge Ohm T. Pendleton of Full
ton court.
The higher courts, to which the
express company plans an appeal,
may reverse the decision and
thereby allow the depot to stay in
ITS present location, which is quite
"a distance removed from the cen
ter of the city, but so far as the
present status of the case is con
cerncd, the city authorities have
won victory.
Owing to the enormous increase
in the volume of whiskey and
other alcoholic shipments to the
city, and owing to the large in
crease in the waiting line at the
delivery depot every day, the po-
lice authorities were DESTROYS of
having the depot located where
they could maintain close
watch for blind tigers, and &C
cordingly council passed an ordi-
nance requiring all such delivery
depots to be located inside the
central fire limits.

from Judge George L. Bell, of

the city from enforcing the ordi-

the removal of the depot, but on
hearing the arguments for and
against a permanent injunction,
Judge Pendleton declined to make
it permanent.

Washington, Oct. 9.-The possible
ties of diplomatic complications over
the German submarine raid along the
New England coast, seemed today to
point toward the Allies as we'll as Ger
many.
Officials said that from reports at
hand, the submarine operations were
conducted within the limitations of in
Iternational law, but that the destruc'
| ton of American vessels carrying con
traband, might easily cause the reop.
ening of the submarine question with
Germany.
Complications with the Allies lies
in the contention that submarines be
excluded from ali neutral ports.
The submarines richest prize was
the passenger liner Stephano, carry
ing SO passengers, including 80 Amer
lean tourists. The Stephano was val
ued at 100000 and her cargo at $780,
900. r
The submarine activities began at
daylight Sunday, three miles east OF
the Nantucket lightship, when the
American steamer Kansas was sight
ed and signalled to stop. When the
submarine commander was satisfied
of the identity of the Kansas, he al
lowed her to proceed.
The Kansas arrived here this morn
ing.
The submarine then moved closer
to the lightship, where, at 6 o'clock
in the morning, she stopper the Strath-
dene. The crew took the lifeboats
and the submarine, then torpedoed
and sank her.
The raider moved southward at
1O:45 o'clock and stopped the West

serted into the constitution, was not
considered in this case. The court,
however, reserved the right to pass

Much Interest Shown.
People all over the state have been
watching the legal battle waged for
many weeks past by the supporters
and opponents of the three measures
in question. The outcome of the con-
certed efforts to prevent referendum
vote became matter of intense inter
est.
The first guns were fired early in
July, when petitions signed by the re-
quisite 1000 were filed with the sec
retary of state, asking for a reference
of the three measures under fire to a
vote of the people. Following these
petitions, injunctions were asked and
granted restraining the secretary from
holding said election. Thereupon, the
attorney general appealed the case to
the Supreme Court. The validity of
the initiative and referendum clause
was questioned in these injunctions.
Now comes the Supreme Court and
without going into the latter question,
informs the public, in decision out
lining and explaining its logic therein,
that their right to hold an election
cannot be abridged by judicial body.
As the consequence of which, the three
doubtful enactments will be entered
upon the ballots at the election next
month and voted upon along with the
candidates.
