Peter Is Given a Scare.
Most people like a little Joke.
But some. alas, 1t doth provoke.
Jerry Muskrat.

Starnose the Mole abruptly babe
Peter Rabbit good-by and disappeared
into one of his numerous tunnels. He
had remained out an unusually long
time for Starnose. Perhaps 1t was be-
cause he had had an unusually big
worm. He needed it. Starnose has an
unusuaNy big appetite. You know, food
makes What we call energy. The more
energy one uses, the more food Is needed
to make new energy. The members of
the Mole family are fun of energy. Such
workers as they are! And 1t isn't easy
work No, indeed. IL isn't easy work.
1t Is hard work. Digging is always hard
work and the Moles are the greatest
diggers of whom I know. They eat in
order to dig and they dig in order to
eat; for 1t is to find the worms that
much of their digging is done.
After Starnose had disappeared, Peter
sat close to the edge of the bank of
the Smiling Pool and back to it. 1t
was very warm. Peter began to grow
sleepy. 1t was very nice over there by
the Smiling Pool; 1t was very pleasant.
Over in the alders, Redwing the Black
bird was singing. Peter always did like
to hear Redwing sing. In the Smiling
Pool itself some of the Frog folk were
singing now and then. Over on the far
side of the Smiling Pool Grandfather

Peters eyes kept shutting. Then he
would open them with a start only to
close them again. In a little while
Peter was actually asleep. OF course, it
was very light sleep, for Peter is far
too wise to ever sleep heavily. Jerry
Muskrat came swimming along with
nothing in particular to do. He looked
up and saw Peter sitting on the bank.
Jerry stopped swimming and f1oated for
few minutes, looking very hard at
Peter. Then Jerry grinned. Once more
he began to swim. He swan until he
was right back of and below Peter. He
looked up at Peters back Then he
grinned once more. What do you think
he did then? He dived, and as he did
so he brought his tail down hard on
the water. When that tail slapped the
water it made a sudden sharp. noise.
Peters eyes few open. At the same
time he came to life in other ways
He bounded away, ipperty- lipperty-lip
perty-lip, and was we'll out in the Green
Meadows before he really knew what he
was doing. All he knew was that he
had been frightened by sudden noise.

When Nancy wrote to the pine lum-
Der company she found that the knots
needed no treatment apart from that
given the panel as a whole. The COM
pany said that its care in choosing
panels with sound knots made other
treatments superf1uous.
Nancy loved to visit in a home where
the walls of pine were enhanced by
builtin cabinets and corner cupboards,
such as these.

Now he stopped and looked all around.
He looked back toward the Smiling
Pool. Nowhere could he see anything
that was cause for fright.
He hesitated a few minutes. Then
very slowly he began to make his way
back toward the Smiling Pool. Every
few steps he would stop to sit up, look
and listen. So at last he got back to
the place where he had been sitting.
He looked all over the Smiling Pool.
1t was as peaceful as it had been before
he dozed off. Apparently there was
nothing and there was no one to ac-
count for the sudden fright Peter had
had.

Many will be found to be wearing shoes
which are two or even three sizes larger
than they wore when they began their
probationary period. They were serv-

That is probably a correct observa-
ton with a wrong deduction. The rea-
son why nurses wear larger shoes is
because they have learned some sense,
in the first place; and also they have
learned they could not do their work
satisfactorily while their dogs are
crowded into shoes couple of sizes too

OUT OF WORK

The English hangman has resigned
and thrown his deadly moose away; he
could endure the beastly grind if he
could only make it pay. But victims
are SO far between an honest hangman
cannot buy the petrol for his limousine,
or purchase filling for pie. In Eng
land murders out of date, it is a graft
that doesn't pay, and seldom does a
vicious skate decide to draw a gun and
slay. He knows that in the British
courts i'll fares the gent who Yields
gat; the history of dead game sports
who tried 1t out has shown him that.
The murderer stands in the dock, his

tence over there means what it says
and nothing less; and so he rendS his
raven hair and sheds some tears in his
distress. His lawyers make prompt
appeal to save him from a shameful
death, but while they pull the stunt
they feel it is waste of time and
breath. The higher court is stern and
cold, the judges sit in grim array, and
say the slayer, brash and bold, must
hang on the appointed day. So there
is much respect for law in Britain's
merry little isle; the killer knows the
moose will draw, and he refrains from
deeds of guile. The hangmen for a
thousand years have swung their vic

time appears when they can't earn
their bread and cheese. The execu-
toner resigns, there are no slayers to
be slain; he thinks he is in grievous
lines. the situation gives him pain.
Perhaps some moral we might draw,
while crime waves sweep our native
land; why have we less respect for
law than any decent laws demand?
Why doesn't justice function here, why
do our statutes gasp and die? This
same conundrum, sprung last year, has
failed to bring a sane reply.
