All the way to school Peter Rabbit
wondered whom he and the others would
learn about that day He was so busy
wondering that he became needless.
Peter is apt to be needless at times.
He was so busy thinking and wonder
ing that he forgot 70 watch his steps.
The result was that, Is he hoped out
Of le-tangle just within the
Green Forest he all but landed in
something worse than the worse BRAN
blcs that ever grew. 1t was only by
a wild jump TO one side that he saved
himself Peter had almost landed right
in among the thousand Nttle spears
Of Prickly Porky the Porcupine
"Grac!ous!" exclaimed Peter, "that
was a narrow escape. What are you
doing way over here, you prickly old
slow poke ?'
"Why don't you look where you are
going?' grunted Prickly Porky. 1t
was plain that he was rather peevish
at wouldn't be my fault if you had a
few Of nay little spears sticking in you
this very minute. 1t would serve YOU
right. Yes, sir, 1t would serve YOU
right. 1t is great pity fellow cannot
walk along minding his own business
without danger of being run into or
jumped on by needless hRrum-scarum
He wsdded along few steps and
then began talking again, more to him

DEVELOPMENT OF GERMANY

Copenhagen, March S.-The ulti- mate development of Germany into republic of federated states like the United States of America is predicted by one of the prime movers of the project to separate from Prussia that part of Schleswig- Holstein which shall remain German after the pleb- iscites, Dr. Rudolph Mu5z, a clergy
 man of Flensburg, in an interview in the Politiken. The movement began last August, he says, and now has TO- 000 adherents.
 we are Schleswig- -Holsteiners," Dr. Musz declared, and desire to admin

 whether we remained attached to Prussia or become distinctively Han oVerians or SchleSwig- -Holsteiners our territory would always remain a part of the German nation. Hamburg and Luheck may become incorporated in our movement, and I believe that Il the German nationalities-the Hanov-
 erians. the Bessians, the Mecklen- burgers, the Westphalians, the Pom
 eranians will demand home rule as we of Schleswig Holstein are doing
 and that Germany will gradually de- velop into a federated republic like the United States of America.
 We acknowledge the principle of
 nationality and the right of self-de-
 termination and it is our own fault that the people of north Schleswig 1 have become alienated. Let the Danes have what is Danish. but the remainder must he diStinctively | Schleswig- -Holstein."
