Two folks who look alike may he So unlike that they ne'cr agree.

 So unlike that they ne'cr agree. Peter Rabbit. Peter Rabbit was quite excited. You know /Peter had discovered one It was Spadefoot the Toad. who was even then on his way to the Smiling Pool.
 What is the reason I have never seen Spadefoot before?" asked Peter of Old Mir Toad.
 "It is because he Is such a queer fellow" replied old Mir. Toad. "He keeps by himself. He rarely comes out save at night. He is great for burying himself and sleeping. He isn't the least bit sociable. He won't stay here at the Smiling Pool more than two days: perhaps he will stay only one day. When he leaves he will go off by himself, and as likely as not I won't see him again this year"
 Docs he dig the same way you do?" asked Peter.
 Old Mir. Toad nodded. "of course. ' said he. Tt is the only proper way to dig. Spadefoot Is better digger than I am He seems to just sink right into the ground. If 1t were not raining he wouldn't be on his way here now; he always chooses a rainy night to come here"
 Just then there was a little splash in the water q short distance from Peter and MT. Toad. A moment or two later 8 new voice joined the Smiling Pool chorus. It was louder than the voice of Old Mir. Toad and 1t was not s sweet.
 There he isg' exclaimed old MT. Toad. That is Spadefoot! I must go over and pay my respects" Old Mir. Toad started to swim in the direction of the new voice and Peter Rabbit hopped along the bank. Pres ently Peter was 50 close that he could see Spadefoot despite the fact that there was little light. Spadefoot was sitting on flat stone close to the surface of the water. Like his cousin, Old Mir. Toad, he had a music bag in his throat and this was swelled out until 1t was three times the size of his head. Peter spoke 10 him. but Spadefoot paid no attention whatever. After that Peter held his tongue.
 Later in the evening he had a chance to talk to old MT. Toad again. Of course Peter wanted to know If Spadefoot's babies started in life in the same manner a the babies of Old Mir. Toad. Old Mir. Toad told him they did. But" added Old Mir. Toad. they seem to me in a great hurry to leave the water. They leave while they still have quite long tails. My chil- dren wait until their tails have dis appeared"
 "where do they 70 to?~ asked Peter.
 Don't ask me" replied Old Mir. Toad. T never see them after they leave the Smiling Pool. I suppose they go up where the ground is soft and dig in. never did see such folks to want to be buried as Spadefoot and his family"
 Old Mir. Toad resumed his singing and Peter could get nothing more from him. Peter hung around whNe watching the two cousins. Old MT. Toad. the common Hop Toad, and Spadefoot. They were much alike, yet quite different Finally Peter de- cided that there was nothing more to be learned there, SO he started , for tho dear old Briar- patch to tell l Mrs. Peter the news.

MID PLEASURES AND PALACES

William Allen White. in Judge.
 "A cats place is in the home" So decided a San Francisco judge re- gently in exoneratinE a cat-kiliing dog. There is some comfort in that. Fathers place is at work. The ohil- dren have a right to their schools and playgrounds; mothers place is at the polls, on the jury, or in the wage earning business-sny place except at the kitchen sink, and the hired girl has her Sunday out and her Thursday afternoon downtown. Let us give devout thanks that the cat is legally house-bound. Otherwise, be 1t ever so humble, there's no one at home!

POISONED LIQUOR
 CAUSES SIX ID DIE
Victims Are Believed to Have Mistaken Alcohol for
 Whisky
By Associated Press

Hoboken N. J., January 10.-Six deaths from poisonous liquor five in Roboken today and one in Jersey City Saturday, were attributed by police tonight to whisky" distributed by longshoremen, which had been tapped from barrels of alcohol on Hoboken steamship piers and smuggled ashore in hot water bags.
 Thefts of alcohol on the piers have been systematically carried on, the police declared, and the theory ad- vanced was that during the tapping process, much of it being done in darkness, poisonous alcohol had been withdrawn by mistake. In this way, l. is feared that a quantity of pois- onous liquor has been put into circu- lation and vigorous efforts are be- ing made 10 round up the deadly sup ply.
 The Hoboken victims are Emil Lange, river street saloon keeper; Rudolph Eberle and raul Schmidt, boarders with Lange; Henry Often, toarder in the international lodg- ing house. and William Bergen, who lived in Arkansas avenue.
 The Jersey City victim was James Sheehy, a longshoreman.
