"oh. they lack one day Of being

to shed more tears.
""Now look here Peter Rabbit, you
lust dry your tears" ordered Bobby
SKUNK, those eight little blind coons

He!"
And Peter Rabbit looked very
sheepish, and turned on his heel, and
went home, saying to himself, Well.
isn't it funny that even Mother Coon
loves a good joke, and even helped
4 Jimmy fool me again."
Then Peter Rabbit leased his
mother to give a dinner party for his
birthday, so he could play a joke on
Jimmy Coon. And Mrs. Rabbit CON
sented to the plan, and said. Now
Peter you may go at once and invite
all your best friends among the little
Forest folk for your birthday din
ner party"
And while Peter Rabbit scuttled in
every direction to invite all his
friends, Mrs. Rabbit set her table on
the bank of Murmuring Brook, at
the very waters edge. And when the
guests were being seated at the table
Mrs. Rabbit said very sweetly, Nov.
Jimmy Coon, you are a %favorite
friend Of my dear son, Peter. SO I
want you to take the seat Of honor,
at my right-hand."
And Jimmy Coon stuck out his
chest, and strutted to his seat, on a
slippery little log crossing the brook,
just at Mrs. Rabbits right hand. For
Mrs. Rabbit sat on the bank close
to the deep pool. rs .
And the first course at this BIRTH
day party dinner was nice fresh live
green frogs. And when Mrs. Rab-
bit passed the plate, Jimmy Coon
grabbed the biggest green frog, and
reached down from the slippery log
to wash his food.
But Jimmy lost his balance ON that
slippery log, and he plunged into that
deep pool heels over head! And his
green frog slipped out Of his little
hands!
And the last that was seen Of Jim
my Coon that night, he was swim
Minis down stream to catch that slip
perry frog.
And all the guests stod on the bank
laughing, and shouting, Jimmy Coon,

Bed Time Stories

BOXES ON JIMMY COON AND
PETER RABBIT,

It was 4 funny sight to see MrA
Coon get out Of her nursery window,
with eight little blind babies In her
big fur pocket, and skillfully descend
the wooden stairs. going down back
wards, and swinging her gray head,
from side to side, as she descended.
And when she-Ssreached the porch,
Mother Co6n smiled at Peter Rab-
blt,zand let him take Of the blind
,babiessi in hts little arms. Now Jimmy
Coon had coaxed his mother not to
tell Peter Rabbit his trick; and she
at last consented. ~.
And it was funny to see Peter Rab-
bit pet. those eight little blind babies,
and shed big t~ears-over every one!
And it was comical to see Peter take
UP each little blind baby, n at a
time, and caUy it around in his arms
any say, "You poor little blind baby
Coon! Peter Rabbit is SO sorry for
you, because you will never see the
sun, or MOON or stars, or birds. or
wild flowers, in all your life! oh, you
poor little blind Coonie!" Is
And Mrs. Coon finally said, well,
Peter, we must say goodnight; for I
must take my little babies up stairs

Red Cross
Nurses are Needed

Need OF more Red Cross nurses
throughout the division is imperative,
declares Miss Edith Barber, director
OF the nursing bureau of the north
ern division.
If a general call for Red Cross
nurses should be issued throughout
the division less than 400 could re-
spOnd, Miss BARBER says. If a second
call should follow, and the continue
ton of the war for another would
make the second call probable, there
would be none to respond.
