TELLING WHO THEY ARE

An inquiry made of the Telegram
this morning was with (egard to the
identity of the brilliant stars" visible
last night in the southwestern sky.
The sight is intensely interesting and
most unusual because of the close
proximity of most of the family OF
planets of our solar system. The very
bright planet is earth's radiant sister
Venus, which is approaching conjunc-
tion with Jupiter, the somewhat less
bright object just above Venus. OF
to the west and considerably fainter
but easily identified through its fail
ure to twinkle, is the great Saturn
while out to the south, glowing in rud-
dy hue, is Mars. These are all men,
bers of our solar system, pursuing
their course as do we, around the sun
and 1t so happens that just now the
suns children" are grouped together
rather than being scattered in their
orbits as will be the case few weeks
later. With a new moon on Tuesday
last, our own Luna ought to be plainly
visible tonight as a faint crescent and
If it is, it will add to the grandeur
of the starry sky.

Little Stories For Bedtime
GREAT EXCITEMENT IN THE
GREEN FOREST
sY THORNTON w. suRoEs

When the little people OF the Green
Forest become excited they become
very much excited. Yes. sir they
become so excited that everybody
talks at once Just like some other
people. And now there was great
/ excitement in the Green Forest. In
deed. Peter Rabbit couldn't r nem-
Der a time when there had been so
much excitement. not even the time
when it was discovered that Prickly
Porky the Porcupine had come down
TO the Green Forest to live. And 1t
was all because of big black stran-
ger. big as Farmer Browns boy and
black as BlackY the Grow, and whose
name was Buster Bear.
Sammy jay had ben the first to
see him. Blacky the Grow had been
the next Then Unc' Billy Possum,
Jimmy Skunk, and Peter Rabbit. At
least so far as any one knew they
were the first to see him. As n mat
ter OF fact, Paddy the Beaver had seen
him before Sammy Jay did. but Pad
dy is one who does not tell all he
sees, as does Sammy Jay, and so he
had said nothing.
But with Sammy Jay and Peter
Rabbit 10 spread the news IL was not
long before everybody knew all there
was to know about il. and nothing
else was talked about or thought
about. OF course the news soon
spread all over the Green Meadows
and to the Smiling Pool and II made
alomst as much excitement there as
In the Green Forest. OF course. Peter
Rabbit had told every one he met OF
how he had seen Jimmy Skunk make
Buster Bear get out of his way. and
Of n a
great deal of admiration for Jimmy
Skunk The only one who didn't was
Pncl<ly Poi'ky.
"Pooh!" said Prickly PorRy "That
was nothing. I could do the same
thing. I'm no more afraid OF Buster
Bear than Jimmy Skunk is. The fact
is. know Buster Bear very we'll, for
he comes from the Great Woods
from which l came. There is nothing
to be afraid of in Buster Bear"
or course, every ore thought that
Prickly PorlSy was just boasting, and
that he was jealous of Jimmy Skunk.
Reddy Fox said as much
"All right. Reddyl You go hunt up
Buster Bear and invite him to come
here. and I'll show you whether or
not | am afraid of him"
Now, Reddy had boasted that he
wasn't afraid Of Buster Bear. You
know he is a great boaster, and likes
to pretend that he isn't afraid Of
anybody or anything But, like most
boasters. he always has an excuse
ready when he is likely 10 have 20
make good one Of his boasts. It was
so this time No sooner had prickly
Porky proposed that he hunt up
Buster Bear than Reddy remembered |
that he had a very important errand |

Hare would 20 in his place. Redd |
