Peter Is in a Tight Place.
By THORNTON W. BURGESS.
When you are in a place that's tight
Ii is no time to think Of fright.
-ppfpr Rahhif

Peter Rabbit.
Boxer and Woof-Woof the twin
cubs of Buster Bear. were having no
end of fun. They had chased Peter
Rabbit under pile of brush and now
they were trying to catch him. 1t
was even more fun than it had been
to Ey to catch Chatterer the Red
Squirrel in the top of tree.
But for Peter Rabbit it was no fun
at all. The truth is. Peter was in "A
tight place. and he knew it. Never
had he been more badly frightened
IT would have been bad enough had
there been only one little Bear. Two
little Bears made it more than twice
MS bad.
In the first place. they were very
lively. were those two little Bears.
Peter hadn't known that little Bears
could be SO lively. You see. these
were the first he ever had seen. The
way in which they ran around that
pile of brush showed how very quick
on their feet they were. Peter didn't
doubt that he could outrun them if
he could get a fair start; the trouble
was to get that fair start He wished
now that he had trusted to his long
legs. instead of seeking shelter un-
der that pile of brush. He had done
that in the suddenness of his fright
when the little Bears had surprised
him. 1t is Peters nature to seek
hiding place in time of danger. and
usually this is the wisest thing for
him to do.
II see him." cried Boxer. poking
his funny little head under the brush
on one side. "I'll crawl under and
drive him out to you. WoofWoof."
On the other side of the brush
pile Woof- Woof danced up and down
excitedly. I'll get him. I'll get
him." she cried. Drive him out.
Boxer, Drive him OUT

stick scratched his face. Hes

running from one end to the other
and back again.

voice of Boxer. A minute later he
backed out. mo use; 1 can't get

So Boxer climbed UP on the pile of
brush and jumped up and down. while

JEWISH PASSOVER
BEGINS TOMORROW
Services to Be Celebrated il;
All Synagogues in
This City.
BY BUD FISHER.

Passover, the feast of unleavened
bread, is to be celebrated this year
beginning tomorrow and continuing
week. the concluding service of the
holiday falling on April %. The serv-
ices will be celebrated in the various
synagogues of the city.
The festival of Passover. called in
Hebrew "Pesach.' reaches back to re-
mote antiquity, when ii was observed
by the early Hebrew tribes as an ag-
ricultural spring festival. AT an early
period PeSach was transformed into
a festival celebrating the redemption
of the Hebrews from Egyptian
slavery.
By connecting this festival with the
wondrous deiiverance of the Hebrews
from the Egyptian yoke. new intent
was provided for it's observance. The
festival and the ritual ceremony OBJ
served during the seven days in which
il is celebrated among reform Jews.
or eight days among the orthodox. is
not only identified with the exodus of
the children of Israel from Egyptian
tyranny. but further symbolizes joy in
the triumph of liberty and freedom
over oppression and slavery.
The festival of Pesach was used by
the synagogue as a means of conse-
Grating the Jewish home to God who
is regarded as the redeemer and pro-
tector of Israel. The story of the de-
liverance of their forefathers from
bondage and slavery reminded the
Jews of Gods providential guidance
and gave them confidence in their
final redemption from all oppression
and woe.
During the Passover week the
''matzoth," unleavened bread is eaten.
This food. described as the bread of
affiiction," is a symbol reminding the
present generation of the hasty exo-
dus of Israel from the land of oppres-
sion.
The feast of Passover is ushered in
with home ceremony. the ''seder."
held on the eve of Passover. All MEM
bers of the family participate in its
observance. The ritual of the seder
includes the reading of richly
adorned tale of deliverance, THE
Hagadah," wherein the various events
leading up to the exodus and imme-
dia tely following are told.
The "seder" celebration radiates an
exuberant spirit of thankfulness and
joy. The symbolism of the seder re-
fleets the circumstances of the en-
slavement of the children of Israel in
Egypt as well as the hopeful outlook
for the final triumph of freedom for
all mankind.

1t is highly probable that thou
sands of pounds of fish will be taken
from the Chesapeake bay and lower
rivers by local anglers tomorrow.
Reports from numerous places on
salt water the past few days told
stories of interesting catches of hard
heads and smaller fish.
: Hardheads appeared in the waters
of the bay much earlier this season
than heretofore, and anglers conclud-
ed that the sport would be more in
teresting than ii was last year.
"They are larger and more pienti-
full than ever before" was the report
received from several places
Trips to practically every resort
within seventy-five miles of this city
have been planned for tomorrow.
Hardheads. weighing as much as 8 1a
pounds, were caught by sportsmen
angling from the pier at Chesapeake
Beach the past few days. while
sportsmen who tried their luck in
deep water Off the resort added other
species of fish to their strings.
In addition to Chesapeake Beach.
Rock Point. Annapolis, Solomons
Leonardtown will claim the atten-
tion of Washington anglers tomor-
row. Sportsmen who have planned
trips to Rock Point expect to land
few rockfish.
1t is reported that roads leading
from this city TO all the resorts on
salt water are in splendid condition,
with the possible exception of short
stretches from the state roads to Ger
tain points on Chesapeake bay.
There is scarcely break in the
roads leading to Solomons Island.

stated, while the Benedict road. where

No encouraging reports have been

DISCOVER oH\D INDIAN
 BURNING GROUND

What was evidently many years ago an Indian burying ground was dug into at Noank by men in the employ of D. E. Doyle & Son, while they were loading sand into trucks at one of the sand pits on the Ecclestone place in Fishtown. Three skeletons were uncovered within a small area and this fact together with the position in which the bodies were placed leads to the belief that the spot was regular burying ground and not a single grave such as have been found quite often in these parts
 Stories to the effect that there was an Indian burying ground somewhere on the Ecclestone place have been hand ed down but the exact location was not known, there being no distinguishing marks, and if any of the old settlers knew the location they did not make it known, or if they did divulge the in- formation it has been forgotten
 Due to the nature of the land which
 is mostly sand, the bones were well pre- served, even the bones of the fingers and toes being perfect. One of the skeletons was that of veritable giant, the skull and bones of the torso being twice the size of any of the others that were un- covered.
 It is impossible to say how long the bodies were buried, but it must have been at least 150 years, while in all prob obility it was much longer ago than that

$1o ROD; $5 cREEL,
 ONE PUMPKIN sEFD~


 One of the popular supernumeries of the local police force is an ardent fisher man and as a general rule has pEetty good luck. A story is going the rounds which does not reflect much credit upon ms piscatorial ability. It seems that the O 1s cer bought S10 fishing rod ana 50 creel and other equipment necessary to a days angling. The officer started out in his seven passenger limousine for Gardner Lake. 7i1e day looked fine TOT big catch, the wind was just right and everything was perfect. The officer put boldly forth onto the lake, baited his hook and cast. This operation was repeated time after time throughout the greater part of the day, but the new hsh basket remained as clean as the mement 1t left the store. Just as the sun was casting long shadows across the lake the tired, yet hopeful. fisherman made long cast. His line whistled through the guides on his pole and the bait dropped gently into a likely look ing stretch of water He waited a mo- ment and then came a slight tug at the line, then another and then the line started to slide out gently. The fisher man was all attention, at last his vigil was rewarded. He played the fish with great skill, let it run and then bringing it to boat. All set with landing net to capture his prize he watched eager ly for old John Blss to come to the surface-but, imagine his disgust, when measely little pumpkin seed" dangling on his line. This was the last straw and the fisherman weighed anchor, pulled for the shore and was soon homeward bound
