 Hea looks tickled almost to death over something, but very likely if I should ask him what it is he wouldn't tell me-, thought Jenny Wren. q guess I'll look around a bit first. I wonder where Mrs. Peter is.'
 So, leaving Peter to smile to his hearts content, she went peeking and peering through the Old Briar Patch. Of course, it wasn't a nice thing to do. not bit nice But Jenny Wren didn't stop in think of that. By and by she saw something that made her flutter all over with excitement. She looked and looked until she could sit still no longer. Then she hurried back to where Peter was sitting. He was still smiling.
 "oh. Peter Rabbit, it's perfectly lovely!" she cried.
 Peter looked up quickly, and a wor- ried look chased the smile away. Hello. Jenny Wreni Where did you come fram? haven't seen you since got back" said he.
 I've been so busy that I haven't had time to call before," replied Jenny. "I know what you've been smiling about, Peter, and it's perfectly splendid. Has everybody heard the news ?"
 "No." said Peter "Nobody knows it but you, and I don't want anybody else to know it just yet Will you keep it a secret, Jenny Wren"
 Now. Jenny was just bursting with desire to spread the news. but Peter looked so anxious that finally she promised that she would keep it to herself. and she really peant to. But though Peter looked greatly relieved as he watched her start for home, he didn't smile as he had before. '1 wish her tongue didn't wag so much. " said he.

News From the Dear Old Hriar Patch
 Jenny Wren is a busybody. Yes. sir. she certainly is a busybody. If there is anything goes on in her neighborhood that she doesn't know about it isn't because she doesn't try to find out. She is so small and spry that it is hard to keep track of her, and she pops out at the most un expected times and places. Then be- fore you can say word she is gone.
 And in all the Old Orchid or on the Green Meadows there sis not to be found another tongue so busy as that of Jenny Wren. It is sharp some times, but when she wants it to be so there is none smoother. You see. she is great gossip, is Jenny Wren, q great gossip. But if you get on the right side of Jenny Wren and ask her to keep secret she'll do it. No one knows how to keep a secret better than she does.
 Now, how it happened nobody knows. but 1t did happen that when Peter Rabbit came home to the dear old Briar Patch. bringing Mrs. Peter with him, Jenny Wren didn't hear about it. Probably it was because the new home which she had just completed was so carefully hidden that the messengers sent by Peter to invite all his friends to call didn't find it. and afterward she was so busy with household affairs that she didn't have time to gossip. Anyway, Peter had been back some time before Jenny Wren knew it. She was quite upset to think that she was the last to hear the news, but she consoled herself with the thought that she had been attending strictly to her duties. and. now that her children were able to look out for themselves she could make up for lost time.
 Just as soon as she could get away she started for the old Briar Patch She wanted to hear all about Peters adventures in the Old Pasture and to meet Mrs Peter But, like a great many other busybodies. she wanted to find out a she could about Peters affairs. and she thought that the surest way to do it was not to let Peter know that she was about until she had had chance to use hen sharp little eyes all she wanted to-

September. They were told. how- ever. by the contractor. that 1t would be impossible to open the building before January.
 Mrs. Dutton went on with her plans for a September opening and told the contractor that the building had to be completed by that time. Further, she was on the ground most of the time. watching the very hammering in of nails and placing of structural work.
 And in September the New York Woman's Exchange was formally opened for business.

State School Funds Short.

State school funds, which were ap-
pOrti0ned, were short more than &c.,
600 of the amount distributed last
year. Officials attributed the shrink
age to the fact that the money is the
first obtained from the 1919 tax rate
on the new property valuations. The
total amount of money distributed by
j. 5. Hubbard, deputy state superin-
tendent, was S1.639, 1870. The dis
tribution Of the funds is based u the
total number OF school children enum-
Grated in the state, which is 7S4, 430.
Division OF the funds showed a per
capita OF 500 for each enumerated
child. The distribution is made semi
annually, in January and June. The
state school funds are derived mainly
from the state school tax. There are,
however. a number OF other items en-
tering into this fund. The total fund
of 81 ,639, 45S.70 is composed of the fol-
lowing items: State school tax, ST.
434. 277.93; common school fund inter-
est S313,31416; unclaimed fees. ST.
1S2.07, and show licenses, S4.133.50.
The amount of money obtained from
the state school tax this year is $780,
036.35 less than the funds apportioned
last year, due 70 q change in the state
tax levy.
