such a funny look as there was on
Peter Rabbits face. "Wha-wha-what
did you say?" r, stammered.
II said" replied Redwtng, that that
is StarnoSe the Mole. first cousin To
Miner the Mole. DO you mean to telA
me, Peter Rabbit, that you have never
met StarnoSe?"
Now, it was very hard for Peter to
admit that there was any one around
the Smiling Pool whom he didn't know.
But Peter tries to be honest. He tries
to be honest with other folks as well as
with himself.
"I-I didn't know that Miner had a
cousin living around here" he con-
fessed
Redwing looked very much surprised.
well, well, well!' he exclaimed why,
I've known StarnoSe ever since began
coming to the Smiling Pool. In fact,
I know StarnoSe better than do Miner,
for I see him oftener. He doesn't keep
himself hidden quite so much.
Meanwhile Peter was staring very
hard at the little swimmer, and wishing
with all his might that he would come
over there. But Starnose presently dis
appeared behind tusSock OF grass and
for some time did not aappear. Peter
had about given up hope of seeing Star
nose again when once more the little
swimmer appeared, and this time he
headed straight for where Peter waa
sitting.
There he comes" said Redwing
when he gets over here I will intro
duce you OF course. you know he
won't be able to see you"
why not?" demanded Peter, looking
very much surprised. 'Is he blind?"
"W-e-l-l," replied Redwing slowly, Il
suppose you might call him blind. He
can tell light from darkness, but that's
about all Here he comes"

Place of Faith i'm Modern World
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

i evidence Of things unseen" This has
been proved true too many times for
any individual expression to alter the
facts.
Every inventor has in his mind
things unseen" except by his faith in
them He proves his faith when the
substance of things hoped for" springs
into existence through his exercise of
that faith in developing what he men,
tally visualiZed. If this were not so, the
marvellous engineering feats could never
be accomplished, the radio would never
have been invented, nor the airplane.
Faith is the fundamental necessity of
progress.
Business is built on faith. One firm
has to have faith in those with whom 1t
deals Credit is founded on faith. and
business deals are made in faith. In
dividuals who order things from stores
have faith they will be delivered, and
pay before delivery on this principle. 1t
is seldom that such faith, as herein eX-
pressed, fails. When it does It is not
the fault of the principle but OF I'M
worthy individuals. Faith in people
continues to uphold business. .
Faith is the foundation OF successful
home life. A husband, wife and the
children must have faith in one another
or misery results. Lack of faith spells
ruin. Faith in one another inspires
each to live up to the high ideals with
which he or she is invested.
Students have faith in the knowledge
of their instructors or edlIcatlon WaneS
Schools and colleges have faith IN the
ability of the instructors and professors
engaged. Patients have faith in their
doctors. Nations have faith in the in
tegrity of other nations or wars result.
In every phase of life faith is evidenced
The wise person is firm in the faith
because he or she has personally proved
its value.

It was while he was reading law with
Mr. George Wythe at Raleigh that Serl-
ous Young Mr.. Thomas Jefferson began
to take an interest in the ladies'.

President was attacking his preparation

diversion. Each day he took gallop on
horseback, and at twilight he would
walk to the top of Monticello. Moreover,
at night he was often found IN the
Apollo room of the Raleigh tavern:
where the young folk OF that part Q!
Virginia were accustomed. to dance and
make merry.
Tom jefferson was an intellectual, but
an engaging one. Any broad-shouldered
young gentleman, standing six feet two
and a half inches in height, is apt to at
tract the attention of damoSelS, particu-
larry If he has fair, rudy skin, redolSh
chestnut hair hazel eyes and an express
sive countenance. Jefferson could dance
we'll, too, and he played the fiddle.
OF the many young ladies whose
charm were observed in the candlellght
of the Apollo room, young MI. JeIIeISon
seems to have been most attracted TO
Sukey Potter and Rebecca BurweH;
most of all to Rebecca.
Rebecca, by all reports, was dazzling
beauty. Fittingly enough, as became the
object of an intellectualS alteration, she
was more distinguished for her good
looks than for her cleverness. AT least
tn is the tradition.
It seems probable that Jefferson,
whose abilities had attracted the atten--
ton of men older than himsef-nen OF
real achievement in Virginia-thought
rather well of himself. 1t never occurred
to him, as he considered plans for his
marriage to Rebecca, that she might md
certain flaws.
AS was the romantic way of his day,
he had chosen a pet name for her. She
was his Belinda" It is thus that he
refers to her in his correspondence.

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

June s, IS65.-Suppression OF part
Of the testimony recently in the con
spiracy trials" in which those accused
of plotting to assassinate the late Presi-
dent Lincoln and other Government
officials are being tried for their ives,
has aroused the ire of many newspaper
correspondents in Washington and their
editors.
THE unseemly haste of some OF the
members of the newspaper press 10
assail the President and Secretary OF
War" says a reporter OF The Evening
Star, whenever the reasons Tor tnelr
official acts are not elaborately ex-
planned has never been more noticeable
than on the occasion of the recent sup
preston of important testimony IN the
trial of the conSpirators.
This crusade was participated In
with relentless pertinacity by journalists
whose fiercenesS was only exceeded by
the unaccountable obtuseness of their
perceptions and who, blinded by their
own prejudices, not only illuminated
the Secretary of War and judge
advocate general, but tnsulted the
Executive and ignored the integrity of
the court.
Nothing that a factious spirit could
suggest was omitted IN remuneration OF
President johnson and his associates.
Forgetful of the national Importance
and solemnity of the occasion, these
journals in effect declared the President
a trickster and his proclamation for the
apprehension of the Canadian con-
spirators the offspring of personal
malignity."
The Star points out that since the
suppressed testimony has been pub
lished the reason for its suppression at
the time has become quite apparent.
President Johnson was criticized for
issuing the proclamation regarding the
conspirators believed to be in Canada.
1t now appears from the suppressed
testimony, according to the New York
Herald, that "all these men were
actively engaged in the arrangement of
this plan to murder Mr.. Lincoln"
Among the men for whose capture
President Johnson offered rewards were
Clement Clay, Jacob Thompson, Beverly
Tucker, George N. Sanders and w. o
Cleary.
Gen. Grant, accompanied by his wife
and several members of his staff, left
Washington today for New York City
: He will remain there for several days
, before leaving for West Point to be
present during examination time at the
United States Military Academy.

Is said by persons with a blatant
