LITTLE BEDTIME STORY,
Tha Snrnrise of TNo Cousins
By THORNTON W. BURG Ess

Peter Rabbit should have been back home in the dear old Brier Patch long ago. He knew that Mrs. Peter was worrying. She always worries when Peter overstays. But Peter was not giving much thought to Mrs. Peter. In fact, ] am afraid he was not giv ing any thought to her. You see. he was too full of curiosity about Bobby Coon and what might happen to him. He had seen Bobby turned out of Prick ly Porky's hollow log. and had followed Bobby. From behind tree he had watched Bobby climb the tall, old. hol- low stump and disappear inside. Then he had heard the voice of Blacky the Crow, and had waited to see if anything more would happen. Of course, he had seen Blacky and his relatives and friends torment Bobby. He had been sorry for Bobby in a way. and yet it had seemed like a great joke that any one as sleepy as Bobby was shouldn't be able to sleep. So I am afraid Peter rather enjoyed the ex- citement.
 When finally Blacky and his friends grew tired and went about their busi- ness, Peter began to thank of getting back to the dear Old Brier Patch.
 'I guess Bobby will sleep in peace now" thought Peter. II can't think of anything more that possibly can happen to disturb him. Poor Bobby He has had a hard time getting that nap"
 Still Peter hung around He didn't know just why, but he had a feeling that he might miss something if he left, and you know Peter never could forgive himself if he missed anything worth seeing. So he hung around for some time after Blacky and his friends had gone about their business. At last he had just about made up his mind that he had better be starting for home when he was startled by the snapping of a little twig Peeping out from behind n big tree, Peter stared toward the place from which that sound had come. In a moment he saw a big black form.
 Buster Bear!' gasped Peter, "It's the first time I have seen him this spring. My, how thin he is."
 Peter looked about to make sure that the way was clear for a hasty run if it should be necessary, and then held his breath as Buster drew near. Buster kept stopping to look and lis ten and sniff the air, and suddenly Peter understood
 He heard those noisy crows and he has come to see what it was all about" thought Peter, which was just

 "Oh! We shall not forge! !! Rag gedy Ann laughed softly Then to Rag gedy Andy she said: Where are the two invisible Magic books?"

 So the Raggedys and little Rags puppy dog tiptoed to the Witch's' bed room and peeped in, wondering how they could manage to get their two in visible Magic books from in under the Witch's pillow.

 So little Rags puppy dog padded soft ly into the Witch's bedroom and heard her snoring and ever so loud, like this, "zee-aw zee-aw" aver and over again. He snooped softly around and then his shoe-button eyes wiggled with fun and excitement, for he found something which you shall hear of later. Then he hurried back and pulled upon the ropes until Raggedy Ann could stand up.
 "Now we will unite Raggedy Andy !" Raggedy Ann said, as she smoothed out the wrinkles in her apron.
 When Raggedy Andy had been united, he said Now that we are free, we must lose no time in making our escape, for if old Witch Wiggins should awaken she will tie us up again Y

After Parties

One Mother Says:
 When my high school boys began to take neighborhood girls to evening dances I started the plan of having pan of hot chocolate and some cook ies ready to serve. and the boys would stop in with the girls on their way to take them home.

Merrily We Go Along A ~or1d JA.s

The world does move.
 Some time ago the ancient embargo upon fully exposed faces in Turkey was raised and dimples and double chins which were not allowed to be exposed to the public gaze came into full legal view. Turkish men came to know and recognize feminine blush.
 The lifting of the embargo was re- garded as healthy sign of pro- gress and now civilization takes an- other step forward. The Caliph's harem has been abolished. All the ladies of the Caliphate have sailed for Alexandria. Moreover. a number of the men identified with the Caliphate, in cluding members of Turkish royalty, have been exiled.
 The world does move.
 It seems incredible to those of HIS who live in enlightened North Amer ica that such customs have endured so long in Turkey. But the part of the world in which we live is large only in our eyes. There are people in the unfamiliar regions of this earth who never heard of us. The world in which they live is renete with customs which are nothing short of barbarous in our eyes but the sign of refinement in theirs. And according to their views they are right. But, of course. we are sure they are wrong and uncivilized. It may be that we both are right
 We, on the other hand, are more truly civilized, We wear rings on our fingers and long dangling jewels from our ears. They go bare-footed We wear high heels. They wear belts of straw or extremely short skirts about their waists. Some of us com press ourselves into binding, steel-rib bed corsets.
 And, according to those who would popularize suits instead of dresses, corsets are coming into style again.

the fact that several other affairs had
been arranged the evening of the
Trachtenberg meeting which detract.

hour was consumed in answering
questions. This was in spite of the
fact that Russia has been discussed so
often by various speakers.
Trachtenberg laid great stress on
the gradual improvement in the eco
nomic life in Russia and compared it
with the gradual decline in the eco
nomic life of the German Workers.
No admission was charged to the
meeting on account of the fact that
tickets were circulating for several
other affairs. There was deficit and

TOLEDO, Ohio, May THE feature
that kept large audience at the
May Day celebration Of the Workers
Party in an almost continual gale of
laughter was an old time blackface
minstrel show The minstreIs were all
members of the party; their darkie
stories, songs and jokes while being in
terspersed with propaganda were real
humorous in their filings at the system.
The show was called, Way Down
Yonder in the Oilfeld." The male and
female quartettes that composed it
IN short while could with advantage
add to the good spirits Of the party
membership generally by going on
tour if the respective wives and hus-
bands did not object.
The audience was quite indulgent
toward my speech which dealt with.
May LIST, the Communists and the
Farmer-Labor Movement. In the midst
OF this speech bevy Of good looking
girls paraded across the stage and +
was quick to inform the audience
that: Competition Of that kind was
too much for mere man"
The Toledo Workers Party can be
on the many live COM
rades OF both sexes within its ranks.
1t was refreshing to have them say to
me, You can tell them at the DAILY

nant and address it to Toledo; we are
going over our quota to get that Pen
rant."

In view Of the fact that there are

either Of the old parties nationally,
that many Of the national leaders of

proven unworthy of the support of the
forward-looking and progressive vot-
ers OF the state, and that many men
who, when asked to serve their con-
stituents insan official capacity are
reluctant to do so, knowing that by
receiving the support of the party ma
chine they are expected to support its
wishes:
Therefore, in order to give the vot-
ers OF Kansas an opportunity to vote
for candidate for President and Vice
President whose principles coincide
with the great majority Of the voters
OF Kansas, also elect delegates to the
st. Paul Farmer-Labor Convention

in regard to naming state officers as
