: Browns house. Hooty flew over on
silent wings, to perch on a fence post
of the henyard, which was very near
that part of the barn where was the
little swinging door. through which
Peter had disappeared the night before.
In the moonlight, Hooty looked very
like part of the post. 1t looked simply
as if that particular post was taller
than the others. Patience Is one thing
that Eooty the Owl has plenty Of Much
of his hunting is done by sitting still,
instead of flying about. Hooty sat per-
fectly still for long, long time. The
only movement he hade was to turn his
head now and again, and he did this so
quickly that unless you had happened
to he looking right at him, you wouldn't
know he had turned it. But most OF
the time his great fierce eyes were fixed
IN that little swinging door in Farmer
Browns barn.
At last his patience was rewarded.
He saw that little door push out just a
little Instantly he spread those great
noiseless wings of his and sailed over
until he was right above that little door.
Just as he got there the little door was
pushed way up and some one came out.
Hooty didn't wait to see who that some
one was. He dropped with those great
claws of his reaching for what he was
confident was Peter Rabbit. 1t was
only as he struck that he realized he
had made a mistake He was too late
to fully withdraw those claws. They
struck and struck hard, and when they
struck, there was a Screech and the
thing he had caught twisted and turned
and began to claw him. He had caught
Black Pussy the Cat, and Black Pussy
was too big and too strong for even big,
fierce Hooty the Owl.
My, such racket as there was for
few minutes! 1t brought Farmer
Browns Boy to the window. 1t set
Bowser the Hound, who was spending
the night in the house, to barking.
Hooty the Owl was trying his best to
let go. He was beating Black Pussy
with his great wings and striking with
his hooked bill, and Black Pussy was
digging in with claws of her hindfeet
and tearing the feathers out of Hooty
in clouds. Black Pussy was both hurt
ard angry.
That fight lasted only a few minutes.
Hooty got a chance to take to the air
and went tapping away in heavy
manner, as If he had hardly strength
enough to move those big wings. Black
Pussy scampered straight across for the
house. entering through another little
door over there in the back shed. There
Farmer Browns Boy found her and
bathed her wounds. She wasn't Seri-
ously hurt. AS for Hooty, he had no ap-
petite for the rest of that night. He
had lost it when he made that mistake.

Thus 1t Goes.

Some years ago my neighbor said,
go. buy some shares in Tar and Pitch;
the price will soar up overhead, and
those who buy now will be rich" Il
am a boob" made reply, Gin all things
touching stocks and shares; no specula-
ton stunts I'll try, will not romp with
bulls or bears. I'll buy bond from
time to time, and clip the coupons when
they're ripe, and thus enjoy a peace
sublime, and play my Tyre and smoke
my pipe. My banker tells me what is
safe, he names the bonds ought to
buy, and so do not fret or chafe when
markets slump or hit the sky" My
neighbor took his own advice, in Tar
and Pitch he placed his mon; and soon
he built palace nice, that cleaned
and glittered in the sun. He often
joshed me when we met, he muttered.
with a Scornful glance, You lack the
nerve to make bet, you are afraid to
take a chance. If you had followed
where I led, when Tar and Pitch was
Europe red, or sailing in your private
yacht" Il do not yearn to cross the
ponds In private yachts, you kindly
bloke; I'll keep on buying good safe
bonds and have the price when you are
broke The speculator cannot rest
when he's acquired an ample roll; a
mad ambition fills his breast, the lust
of conquest stirs his soul. MY neigh
boris on his uppers now, he is no more
a plutocrat he has mortgage on his
COW, he had to soak his stovepipe hat.
He gambled much and hoped to seize
a mighty fortune in a day, while I
acquired, by slow degrees, the wad that
keeps the wolf away

Zen the wise will often make
An inexcuSable mistake.

Hooty the Owl had not forgotten how
and where Peter Rabbit had slipped out
from under his very claws He knew
Peter so well that he knew that if Peter
found plenty to eat in Farmer Browns
barn, not even possible danger would
be able to keep him away from there.
So Hooty planned to keep watch of that
little door-that little swinging door
by means of which Peter had escaped
into the barn. So the next night Hooty
perched where he could watch Farmer

chores and went into the house. 1t was

considerable distance.

thought Hooty, IN move over where

out of that barn. want to be near
enough to give him no chance"
Iiooty saw Reddy Fox come stealing
around the corner of Farmer Browns
barn. He SAT him move along with his
nose to the snow. He saw him stop be-
side that little door and finally move
on down along the Old Stonewan be-
side the Old Orchard, disappearing
finally in the Green Forest Good rid

FIRE DEPARTMENT WITHDRAN|s FROM
 4TH, CELEBRATION

The following are the facts in the case relating to the delay in announcing the Fourth of July celebration plans of the Seward Volunteer Fire Department, as taken from the minutes of last nights special meeting of the fire department.
 On April the department start ed action and prepared tenta- tive program Early in May the department put out finance committee for subscriptions and wrote letter to the City Council asking for the same donation as had been granted in past years.
 This letter was written before June 3, it was stated. The coun- Gil withheld action until June IT which gave the department little time to start publicity so the or ganization appointed special committee to call upon Carl E. Orlander, acting mayor, and in formed him that if the depart ment could not procure the money within few days the depart ment would be compelled to drop their plans for staging the 4th of July celebration.
 MT. Orlander told the com mittee to interview the remainder of the council members which was done and the committee was given the assurance from five of the members that they would vote for the amount desired.
 At the June IT meeting of the council, it was pointed out last night, these five apparently for got their former unofficial aSsur- ances, and refused financial as sistance to the departments pro- gram. This action, coupled with the fact the merchants of the city, in general lowered their subscriptions to the fund put the department in the position of hav- ing 4th of July program already

 So, at the meeting of the fire department last night, the deal was called off and for the first time in the history of Seward the organization will not be in charge of the celebration
 It is announced the department stands ready to lend it's full as- sistance and support to any other organization which may de- sire to promote the celebration.
 The money collections will be returned and pledges uncollected will be cancelled.
