Peter Rabbit.
Peter Rabbit Has Queer Feeling.
There are some people who call au-
tumn the sad time of the year. In a
way II is a sad time, for 1t Is the
time Of parting with many friends.
But even If he had TO say goodby TO
so many of his neighbors, Peter Rab-
bit never could be really sad. The
cool, crisp air always made him feel
good. Then. too, whenever he said
boodby to an old neighbor who was
going away for the winter. he always
thought of the joy of welcoming that
neighbor back again in the spring.
Peter had gone over to Farmer
Browns garden. There was nothing
to particularly interest him there now
excepting few old cabbage leaves.
Still he liked to go up there. NOW.
as he sat munching cabbage lear,

seen Old Mr. Toad for long time.
