Bedtime Stories
Peter Rabbit Gets Wetting
BY Thornton W. Burgess
Look before you leap," we're told,
A Saying 1cise and tried and old.
Think before yoM jump, 7 sag.
You may not jump at oil that way

Peter Rabbit had eyes for just one
thing, the tai of Paddy the Beaver.
He couldn't keep them off it. You
know Peter has such funny little
tail Of his own that he never has been
quite sure whether to be ashamed or
proud OF it. SO he always is comparing
1t with the tails Of his friends. Old
staring. well, what have you on
your mind now, Peter" she asked.
THAT tail" replied Peter. I've seen
lot of queer tails, but that one Is
the queerest ever. l should think it
would be heavy and dreadfully in the
way"
Old Mother Nature laughed "If you
ask him, Paddy will tell you that that
Is the handiest tail in all the Green
Forest" said she. isn't that so,
Paddy"
Paddy nodded ut certainly is," said
he. ~ couldn't get along without it,"
There isn't another like 1t in all
the Great World" continued Old
Mother Nature, and if you'll be pa
tient you will see just how handy 1t is. =
Ii was queer looking tail. There
was no denying that. It was broad
and thick and fat oval in shape and
covered with scales instead of hair.
Somehow Peter couldn't make it seem

Bu. there are no webs between my TN

see. Sure enough, there were no webs
between the fingers. They we're entirely
free.
"Now that everybody has had Il good
look at you, Paddy, suppose you swim
over TO where you have been cutting
trees. We will join you there and then
you can show us what kind Of lum-

Nature.

Not a Ray of Sunshine
In New Play at Carrick
Fine Dramatic Thrill in Last
Act of ''Nightshade" Helps
Piece Somewhat

"Nightshade," which is being given
a series of matinees at the Garrick
Theater, is a cloudy play, without a
single ray Of sunshine in all its four
acts. The scenery and lighting effects
are excellent, particularly storm
which accompanies a fine dramatic
thrill in the last act. But the play,
described as new American drama,
moves slowly and is marred in three
acts by rather stilted acting
The action takes place in a farm
house in the hills" but the characters
are made to speak as never American
farmers spake. There is some chatter
of crops and cattle, but much more
Of philosophy and mysticism, while the
idom is that of grammarians rather
than of any Hill folk in these parts
"Nightshade" is produced by Henry
Stillman, and in the cast are Content
Paieologue, Nell Hamilton, Alfred
Shirley, Gerald Hamer, Dorothy Quincy,
Grace Knell and Gordon Burby,

The Tribune Fresh Air Fund
Fire Centuries Of Vacation for 1900
Children II
Children IF

Five hundred years of vacation will
be divided by The Tribune Fresh Air
Fund among $4,000 children of the ten
ements this summer. Each boy and
girl will get two weeks in the country
There is just one IF in the way
That is, if the friends of the children
will do their part and lend their sup
port to the project, there is nothing
otherwise impossible about the plan.
The fund knows the children who need
the vacations. 1t has available or can
find the places in which the vacations
may be enjoyed, 1t has the organiza-
tion for handling just such a multitude
of lads and lassies of the tenements
In 1892 it provided vacations for 1927
children

boys and girls Will cost $4,000, or ap-
proximately ST per child Friends Of
children, will you give that much for
this purpose this summer?
Who are the $4,000? you ask
They are the children you may see
any day swarming the streets in the
tenement districts of the East Side.

lyn. They are the children of the poor.
the tots who will spend the whole of
the school vacation playing-or trying
to-in the dirty, scorching, traffic
jammed streets to which they we're
born unless they are rescued for
brief spell by The Tribune Fund
Two hundred child welfare organiza-
tions-hospi settlements. churches,
dispensaries, day nurseries and public
schools-are busy to-day searching
them out and Will continue their search
throughout the summer
The fund demands only three things
of its little guests That they be poor;
that they be clean on the day when
they start from the city; that they
be free from communicable disease
Otherwise they may be black or white.
