BEECKNUT GOSSIP tBy Thornton W. Burgess)
Ne'er may you In gossip trust, For 'tis seldom 1t is just.
 Old Mother Nature.

Peter Rabbit doesn't care any thing about beechnuss. He cares nothing for nuts of any kind. You sec, Peters teeth are not made TOT cracking hard shells. Peter can gnaw and strip off pieces of bark but when it comes to cracking mus Peter isn't success. NeVertheIess' Peter spent considerable time over in that part of the Green Forest where the beech trees grow, That was because so many other people were spending so much time there. You see where there are many peo- ple together there is bound 10 De Iot of gossip. It was his curloslty and love of gossip that took Peter over there.
 Now there was just one topic thai interested everybody over there That tonic was the coming of winter and how best to prepare for it. BE and little, weak and strong, wearerS of feathers and wearers of fur' all were equally interested. Each one had his or her own ideas. or course vou know exactly what Happy Jack Squirrel and the other members ot the Squirrel family insisted was the proper thing to do. They insisted that the only thing to do was 10 store away food and plenty of it, and they were living examples ot their belief. Buster Bear insisted that that was all foolishness and that the proper way of preparing for comfortable winter was to eat all possible and get as fat as possi- ble and then when food was no longer to be found go to sleep and sleep until spring returned.
 That's the sensible thing to do," declared Buster in his deep, rumbly, grumbly voice. Somebody may find and steal the food you Squirrels put away, but nobody can take my fat from me. I believe in putting food away under the skin; then you always have it."
 But we don't put all our supplies in one place." declared Chatterer the Red Squirrel. Why, sometimes I have a dozen storehouses. No one is going to find all 'alI those store houses"
 Perhaps not" retorted Buster Rear. "Still. if you must fill lot of storehouses So as to be sure to have food enough left in case some of your storehouses are found, you
New Britain herald., 1925-10-09

must do lot of work for noth- ing. Now I don't do any work for nothing. All that food is stored un- der my skin and every bit of it is going to be used by me. I tell you, Johnny Chuck and I know the best plan. Yes, sir, Johnny Chuck and I Know,"
 "Pooh!" exclaimed Welcome Robin, who happened to come along just in time 10 hear this "The really sensible thing to do is to just 20 off and leave cold weather be- hind. Now, where I go down in the Sunny South there is plenty to eat all the time, Yes, sir, that is the sensible thing to do, go South"
 That's all very well for you folks with wings" grumbled Buster Bear. "But we folks who wear fur cant do that. We must say here, wheth- CT we want to or not. That is one advantage you feathered folks have over us fur bearers. You can fly away and leave hard time, while we must stay and do the best we can. Personally I am rather proud of the fact that we animals are not dutters. We don't run away from cold and hard times. There is no four-legged animal that doesn't stay when Jack Frost and rough Broth CT North Wind come down from the Far North. It is true that some of ns sleep through the worst of the bad weather, but We stay"
 T can name one who doesn't" declared Welcome Robin.
 Peter Rabbit drew a little nearer and his ears were standing straight un. Who could it be that Welcome Robin meant? He waited eargerly for what Buster Bear might reply. At first Buster didn't reply at all. He pretended not to have heard. T said that I know ono animal who doesn't stay. but who goes South just like the rest of us" declared Welcome Robin is a little louder voice.
 You don't knew anything of the kind" growled Buster Bear. NO animal could go way down to the Sunny South. It would take an ani- maI so long to get there that Jack Frost would overtake him long be- fore he was even half way there"
 Nevertheless I know one who does it," declared Welcome Robin, and his eyes twinkled. He glanced around at all the other folk sitting there. He saw the same puzzled look in the face of each. Think it over" said Welcome Robin and away he flew.

Tn the natural course of things, there cannot be so very many years of life left to me, and l am grate- full indeed that this opportunity is given me to retire definitely from active work.

 For a long minute after I had finished the letter l sat gazing into space. The lines revealed so much of my fathers loneliness during his latter days in the government serv- ice. appreciated as I never had before the love and care which he had lavished upon me since he found me. after years of heart breaking search for me. knew that 1t was an affection made more intense by the remorse which he felt for his treatment of my mother Indeed, 1t was the very intensity of that remorse which finally had led me to forget that he had abandoned us when I was a wee girl of four and give to my father the daugh- ter's affection for which he so longed.
 With the shiver which the con- temptation of that long past tragedy of my mother always gives me l folded the letter and the check and locked them away in Dicky's desk. Then I returned to my chair and faced the problem which my mother-in-law' warning had put be- fore me.
 Should tell Dicky about the check my father had sent me or should I keep it secret from him?

 He bent his head and kissed her hand before she could stop him, she could feel how hot his lips were; it was as if some magic wand had waved them both baclI--he and she to the days which she thought had gone for ever.

The Letter From Madge's Father
 Brings Back Poignant Memories
 There is but one thing to do when my mother-in-law says. T certainly advise you" and that is either to agree with her or to pretend to do so, and then quickly 10 change the subject. This was my procedure therefore, when she astonlshed me by the warning not to let Dicky know of the check from my father.
 That Is very wise advice, mother dear" I said earnestly, and ap- preciate your giving 1t to me: By the way, ] nearly forgot my real reason for casllng in here.

 "You certainly prevented anything of that sort" I said emphatically' Lillian says she has a most in- teresting story to tell you about to- days happenings when she feels a little stronger

THE IDEAL WIFE AND MOTHER.

She is the one who radiates health and happiness, ever ready for work or play, and what woman does not want 10 fill this role? When women are besieged by aches, pains, irregularities and mental depression they not only suffer themselves but create a gloomy atmosphere in the home. Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound is the one depend- able remedy to overcome such con- litions For three generations it has been restoring the women of Amer ica to health and strength.
