Peter Rabbit shook his head. per.

don't look stupid to me. No, sir,
they don't look stupid to me. They

TO expect other people to mind their

The first chance Peter got he went
over to where Piny was picking some
low-hanging ash-berries. Are YOU
stupid?" asked Peter.
Piny stopped and looked at Peter

over his face. What do you mean bv
that?" said he.

termittently and by varying work
than by urging tired body and nerves
TO do one thing incessantly. This abil-
ity for change is one of the pleasures
Of housework. It permits constant d.

that rest as well as change is essen.
tial, and definite periods Of rest must
be taken from work that could be con-
slant. It is not enough to go to bed
and sleep when so tired that no more
can be done. Rest that is taken for
pleasurable relaxation, when reading,
games, puzzles, fancy work, ETC.. can
be enjoyed and walking or outdoor
exercise can be stimulant, is g. ne.

that change provides the needed rest.

Things as we'll as persons require a
proper amount of rest to look best, to
resist wear and tear and to last
longest. The rest may come from dis
use in the case OF articles, while it
may come from sleep with persons.
Or in each instance it may come from
change. Both persons and things de-
teriorate surprisingly unless they
have sufficient rest of one sort or
the other.

Peter Rabbit was quite delighted to
think that he had found the cousin
of Piny the Grosbeak. This cousin,
the Evening Grosbeak, and Piny were
the best of friends, as cousins always
should be. Both were from the North
and both were comparative strangers
in the Green Forest and the Old Or
chard. Peter spent considerable time

anxious to know about places he has
never been, and he hoped he might
hear some stories from the Far North
from these pretty visitors.
Neither the Pine GrosbeakS nor the
Evening Grosbeaks seemed to be in
the least nervous. They were never

feathered folk did. They never ap-
peared to be startled by anything

One mother says:
Often the children's shoe laces lose
their points and become frayed. This
annoying condition Is easily remedied
by applying glue to the frayed end
and twisting it to a point. Do this at
night and by morning the point is dry
and hardened.

Of the old pioneer evangelist, Petei
Hinges, in the J. Stuart Blae95tof
INSTALLATION of Kenneth Perkins.
famous novel, 'The Beloved Brute"
which will be shown at Weaver The
atre on Saturday, Jauary %.
MacLean appears as the father OF
OF Victor McLaglen, the famous Brit
ish cinema star who came to this
country especially to portray the IT,
tie role. The part demands man of
gigantic physical proportions, and
McLaglen was the only actor suitable
Tor the role. He weighs over two
hundred pounds and stands six feet
three inches in his stocking feet. He
is an athlete of international repute,
and virile actor.
The role of the younger brother,
who is also physical giant, is in the
hands of William Russell, who is too
well known to motion picture fans
to need introduction.
During the course of the story,
these two young giants are called to-
gether to battle each other in al
wrestling match. 1t was mutually
agreed between McLaglen and Rus
sell to stage a most specacul physi-
cal contest for the filming.
The theme of the story deals with
the the two sons OF te sturdy old
travelling minister. the latter of
whom develops into good-for-noth-
ing quarrelsome brute, with whom
the father can do nothing.
The younger son proves all that
the old man could wish. Later on,
the two brothers fall in love with
the same girl, role portrayed by
de la Motto. and then
there ensues a strenuous battle dur
ing which the eyes of "The Brute"
IRE opened to the general opinions
If mankind.
His regeneration is established

Iicted upon him by his own brother !

lways seen the good side of the
rute. something never acknow- !
edged by any other person. not even +:

PICTURE SHOWS
EARLY PERILS

There is an element of romance
in the fact that South Dakota was
chosen as the location for ''The Dead
wood Coach" Tom Mix production
portraying life in the widest west
during the eighties"
1t was through the South Dakota
Bad Lands that the original Dead
wood Coach ran its perilous course
over rocky roads and tortuous trails,
attacked by hostile Indians and pur-
sued by bandits eager to possess the
freight Of gold it often carried.
The Deadwood trail started at
Cheyenne and ran through Laramie
to Deadwood, South Dakota. The first
coach, built in 1868, was constructed
of iron to be bullet proof 1t was
manned by eight guards besides the
driver. Each guard carried a rife
and two reyolvers, and their com
bined fire could deliver 1876 shots
without reloading.
There were many times when iii
seemed as though the old coach was
marked by fate for certain destruc-
ton, but it weathered all the storms
and is now ON exhibition at the
Smithsonian Institute. Washington.
A replica of it is used in the film
which is being shown at the Weaver
Theatre January 27 and %.
1t is said that Buffalo Bill Cody
once had horse which carried him
over hundred miles in nine hours
and forty minutes, when he was be-
ing chased by Indians
Tom Mix's horse. Tony, has never
been tried out on an endurance rec
'rd, but during the filming of 1.-The
Deadwood Coach" in South Dakota,
ne did mile dash over rough road
n one minute, forty-eight seconds,
which isn't so bad for a COW pony
tanding only fourteen hands high.
