AS Little Jack Rabbit hoped
along, whistling merry little song,
by and by he came to q tree in
which sat Peter Postum. It was a
persimmon tree, tall, with a hand
some round head, and covered with
zig-zag branches. Peter Possum had
waited long time for the green
persimmons to change from a green
color to Il reddish yellow, but now
that the frost had mellowed the pulp
taking away the puckery lasts, he
had decided to have a feast. 1t was
now dark, for the little rabbit had
hoped into the Old Hollow Stupr
Telephone Booth to tell Lady Love
that he would not be home for sup
per. Yes, he was too thoughtful a
little bunny to keep her waiting
anxiously for him. He had said tc
himself earlier in the afternoon that
he would like to see Peter Possum
knowing that this old fellow slept
all day in a hollow tree. waiting fol-
the darkness to come before ventur-
ing out for food. Now, hanging by
his tail from limb. the old fellow
was feasting on the soft, sugary ber
ries of the tall persimmon tree.
my, these berries are fine" cried
Peter Postum, ioosening his tail
about the limb and propping himself
upright in q crotch in order to talk
more easily to the bunny boy. u
declare, ii ! eat many more l shall be
too fat to squeeze into the old hol-
low tree. That would be unpleasant

scrambled down the trunk to the
ground.

Farmer Boy" advised the little rab-
bit. HE may be out with his old
gun. / once heard
'Possum meat is nice and sweet;
Postum meat is good to eat'' -
Dear me-" shivered Peter Postum,

and the youngsters will be worried,
and off he went and so did the little
rabbit, only faster. AS the bunny
boy passed the Big Brown Bears
Cosy Cave, he noticed a light in the
window. ~

thought, and the next moment he

Fraud. neglect and gross misman-

are alleged in a bill in equity in the
supreme court of Cumberland county
in which Edwin D. Holden of Port
land as plaintiff is seeking the an-
pointment of a receiver for the Basin
Quarries, Inc, operating a feldspar
mine at Phippsburg. Holden is q
holder of Is shares Of common Stock.
His bill names Joseph F. Perry as
president, William c.. Sherburne as
treasurer, and Frank L. Marston as
secretary Of the defendant body. 1t
is set out that these officers agreed
to sell the Phippsburg property to
the Spur Holding Company for $685.
600, in November. 1928, and that an
agreement was entered into by which
transfer of the property by the hold
ing company to the Oxford Soap

that Perry, Sherburne and Marston
intended to retain the 100000 ball
ance. An injunction against further
movement of title and property, an
