Peter Rabbit was frightened. Just
how frightened he was he wouldn't
have let Paddy the Beaver know for
the world. The sight of that footprint
Of Yowler the Bob-cat recalled to
Peter all that he ever had heard about
Yowler and his fondness for rabbit din
ners. 1t recalled to Peter all that he
had heard about Yowler's fierceness and
the clever ways in which he hunts.
He understood now just why Paddy was
SO insistent that he. Peter. should go
home at once and keep away from the
Green Forest. But he didn't want to
appear frightened. He wished with all
his might that he was at home that
very minute. He dreaded the Journey
before him through the Green Forest.
He felt like starting at once and run
ming with all his might. But II he
should do that Paddy would think him
coward. At least he was afraid that
Paddy would.
So Peter sat still right where he was
and tried to appear unconCerned as he
asked Paddy questions about Yowler,
but all the time he was straining his
ears to catch every sound. and strain
movement.
Finally Paddy announced that he had
too much to do to waste any more time
talking and with a final warning to
Peter he slipped into the water of his
pond and swan away. Peter watched
him and wished that he could swim like
that. II only he could he would have

talking about hardships. but if we are
to experience the fate of Europe as she
fights we will stop talking and soon be-
gin to endure. all of which. you may
say, has nothing to do with pockets,
but that is where you are wrong. The
reason that the French originated the
fashion Of capacious pockets scattered
over the surface of our clothes was
that the French women were compelled
to carry bundles between the shop and
the house. And we are doing that to-
day.
This season the pockets have found
resting place in queer garments. They
have become more practical because
they have appeared on the outside of
our costumes. where they can render

Chief Point of Contention.

With both sides agreed that the rail-
roads income had increased. the chief
point OF contention was whether the
additional revenue had Offset the in
creased cost of operation. Mr.. Patter-
son, the only attorney speaking for the
roads, said the last advance had failed
by about $120, 100000 to cover the in
creased expenses of the thirty-eight
systems.
Counsel for the shippers maintained
that by use of the additional revenues
and surplus the railroads would not be
in worse condition than other busi-
nesses and that under such circum-
stances they should not expect to i'm
pose additional burden on the shippers

Chautauqua Programme to
 Be Given in Florence

Florence, May Especial )-The Red- path chautauqua will open in this city for weeks engagement June 2 to $, inclusive. Advance reports are to the et- feet that an unusually fine programme will be rendered, including as it does, Creatore and his band and the Mikado Light Opera company and other special attractions. The advance sale of tickets would indicate that the chautauqua will be well patronized this year, despite the war condition. For number of seasons the chautauqua has been successful here, a splendid patron age on the part of Florence people and also of Sheffield and Tuscumbia and close by towns making this possible The splendid corps of teachers who served in the local schools during the past year have all been reelected by the city board of education for the session of 1917-1S A number of the teachers have held their positions for a number of years past to the satisfaction of the school board and the public.
 The Chamber of Commerce has received letters from Senator Bankhead and Con- gressman Almon in regard to the mobii- zation camp that was being sought for Florence. The information is conveyed that in all likelihood only one such camp will be selected for the states of Ala bama, Georgia and Florida, and that AL lanta may be selected on account of it's central location. Florence people had hoped that camp might be secured for this city.
 Judge J.. F. Koonce, probate judge Of this county, is being commended for a display of patriotism in having a large American flag erected over the court house in this city.
 Miss Mae Warren of Sheffield and Sam George, with Swain's shows, appearing here this week, were united in marriage at the courthouse, the ceremony. being performed by Herbert Koonce of the judge of probate's office.
 News has been received here that Wal ter s. Vim, Jr., son of Maj w. $. Vim, for sometime connected with the Muscle Shoals survey, has passed the required examinations at West Point, and will enter that institution next June.

.EUTERPEAN AND THE. LYRIC CLUBS WILL.
 SING MONDAY NIGHT
All Parts of Greater City Represented in These Popular Musical
 Organizations

There is every indica ton that the con- cert by the Euterpean and Lyric clubs of the Central and Ensley High schools Monday evening will be epoch making in the musical history of Birmingham.
 Never before had mixed chorus of 250 well trained voices representing fami- lies from every part of the city sung to- gether under one director, until the re- cent biennial, when the same chorus that will sing Monday evening rendered the cantata, The Peace Pipe" by Converse
 Such musical critics as Lawrence Erb Tale Esen Morgan, pr. StiIlnan Kelly, Mrs. Edward Mcdowell and innumera ble others from all parts of the country, were lavish in their praise of the beau tlful tone quality of the chorus, the splen- did work of the orchestra and the con- ducting of Miss Kitts. Kenneth Clark, edi- tor of Musical America" said it was the best High school work he had heard in any part of the country.
 One of the attractive numbers on the programme will be the irresistibly sym capated Swing Along" sung by the Boys chorus of 60 voices. Another charming number by the entire chorus and orches- tra is the never-old, Beautiful Blue Danube" of Strauss
 The cantata, The Pipe" is a distinctly modern composition, taken from the text of Longfelow's 'Hiawatha," " and bringing in the old tribal Indian melodies in most beautiful way. In order to acquaint the audience with the poem, the text will be read by Mrs Leona Plosser Brown, one of Brminghams pest read CTS.
