 him ten fifteen millions to blow in | on racing cars and steam yatchts He i has the world by the tail and downhili pull. and if he don't get along he ought ! to be shot.
 i Its simple enough proposition for a man who has had nine years college education and then post st-graduate course of four more in technical school to go
 out into the world and pick and choose the job he would like to take and ac- cept it.
 But when a fellow moves into city with fiftythree pieces of baggage con- ssting of a .celluioid collar and pack of cards and tackles the cold, unfeeling world and takes it by the throat and hokes decent living out of it, he has a right to throw out his chest and strut Some.

Not since he had discovered that he was lost had Peter Rabbits wilful lit- tie son felt quite so comfortable as he did in his new refuge It was an old stone wall with bushes growing thickly along both sides of it and vines and bramble running over 1t. IL was just such a place as is beloved of Rabbits, Chipmunks and other little folks.
 No sooner did this wilful little Rab- without knowing just why he felt safe. He felt it in his bones that as long as he remained in or close to that old wall he would have little to fear from most of his enemies He didn't un- derstana why 1t was a safe place, but he felt that it was, and that was enough. He began to feel in better spirits righsD way. In fact, he soon became his too important little self again.
 This is very wonderful place" said he. Tt is a very wonderful place, in deed. I don't suppose my father or mother ever have seenfsuch a wonder full place, and l found it all myself without any help, Sometime 1 will bring them here and show them this wonderful place, and they will admire it. and when they return they will tell every one what a wonderful home their son has out in the Great World"
 How Peter would have laughed could he have heard that little boaster. You see there wasn't an inch of that old wall he hadn't known since he himself started out into the Great World to seek his fortune and make a place for himself. The truth is that very old wall had been Peters first home after leaving the home of his babyhood, and he had felt about it much as this wilful young son of his was now feeling.
 But the wilful little runaway knew

A Gentleman In Gray Passe

URES FOR WOMEN READERS

i dream such big dreams as only very small person, who knows nothing of the Great World, can dream. He was in the midst of one of these dreams. a very wonderful dream, when he heard a light step just outside the fringe of bushes. At once he pulled his head in that he might be cut of sight. But he couldn't keep out nf sight and see. too, and being Peter Rabbits own son he just had to see who was passing.
 Again he heard the light step and rustling grass. X second later gem tleman in gray paused just in front of a tiny opening in the bushes. The lit. tie Rabbit newer had seen any one at all like him and he quite held his breath in admiration. The gentleman in gray was quite the largest person the little Rabbit had ever seen. He was many times larger than Peter Rab- bit, and up to this minute Peter had been the largest person his small son had seen,
 The strangers coat really was rather yellowish. but in the dusk it looked gray He had wonderful bushy tail and his face was sharp and shrewd looking Altogether the stranger was very smart in appearance and the lit- tie Rabbit was quite lost in admiration.
 q would like to know him. I am sure he could tell me much of the Great World" thought tho little Rab- bit.
 And just then Old Man Coyote for that is who the gentleman in gray was, must have had a pleasant thought, for the grinned. And the little Rabbits heart Hoped almost over, for he was looking intoa great mouth which seemed filled with great, long. sharp teeth. The little Rabbit withdrew his head hastily and all desire to know the gentleman in gray left him that instant.

When he grew tired of exploring he began to think of his stomach, and this led him to look for something to put in it. Perhaps you can imagine just how delighted he was to discover patch of sweet clover al certain place justgbeyond the edge of the bushes along one side of the old wall. This completed his happiness and he was soon busy filling his stom- ach.

 RATE ISSUE FRIDAY

Montgomery, August 19-(Special) ) Decisions on the petition of railroads operating in the south for temporary approval of increases on intrastate rates in line with the increases on inc terstate rates granted by the inter state commerce commission, are ex- pected simultaneously from railroad commissions of the southeastern state as result of conference here Fri day The conference was called by the Alabama public service commission in order that an agreement might be made which would make the increases and the date of the order uniform through out Ala bama, Tennessee, Georgia, Flor ida and Louisiana.
 Advices received Thursday afternoon were that the commissions of Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana would be represented and that Florida had pre- pared a tentative decision today which would be communicated to the Ala bama commission Friday. The Alabama commission is anxious that the rates become effective in all south eastern states at the same time so discrimina- tion against any shippers might be avoided.
