1t is no wonder that Peter Rabbit
rubbed his eyes and stared and then
rubbed his eyes again. Certainly it was
q strange creature-at least, a strange
looking one when it came out from
under a stone near the Laughing Brook.
Peter knew it for member of the in
sect world, but in all his experience he
never had seen anything like it, 1t had
a big, rather square head with promi-
nent eyes. There were two long an
tennae, or feelers. Projecting from the
mouth We're two great curved Jaws.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-08-13

Peter could imagine how it would hurt
to be pinched with those jaws. At first
he thought that this curious insect had
but two wings. In moment or two,
however, the wings were spread and he
saw that there were four such as the
dragonf1y has. They were somewhat
lacy in appearance, but much speckled.
When they were spread they were quite
five inches across.
Peter took a step forward and the
great insect suddenly took wing and
flew away. 1t alighted on a big rock
not far Off Peter scratched long ear
with a long hindfoot. Then he scratch
ed the other long ear with the other
long hindfoot.
NOW, I wonder what that thing
was" said he.

The statement, which was issued

Congressman Sprouts outburst in

the length to which he is willing

Stanolax, the product Representa-

upon Colonel Stewart, is mineral
oil laxative. II has been on the
market for at least Is years"
The Representative had asked an
investigation of reports that the oil

 When this venerable and totterlng reviewer was lad in skirts-yes, even boys wore them then--children played q game in which were the lines Some like it hot, some like II cold" Although it was only game, there was wealth of profound philosophy in the thought. Ever since the world began peoples preferences have differed, adding spice to life, horse racing and the theater.

Some people like their drama lightly dusted with excite ment; others prefer their dramatic bread thickly buttered with shooting, arson, mayhem. sudden death, as- sault and battery, pestilence and crooked card playing. To the latter Penthouse" at Parsons theater, Hartford. may have an appeal. It is a crook play with murders sprink- ed through it here and there with gay abandon.
