Justice Trenchard told the ju

proved to be guilty. He said:
"The State must prove him
guilty beyond a reasonable

term often used but not easily

AUGHT by a leg between
two stones in the old wall
along the edge of the Old Or
~ chard, and so held prisoner,
Peter Rabbit was in just about as bad
a situation as he had ever been in. 1t
was bad enough to be held by those
stones. for they had hurt that leg
sorely. 1t was numb now, but in
way that made it seem all the worse.
Just the thought that he was a pris-
oner vas terrifying, but a worse
thought was that of what would hap
pen should certain hungry neighbors
discover the trouble he was in. So far
none had, but Peter felt that 1t was
only a matter of time when one or
another would find him.
Those who had discovered him were
some of his friends and, as Is always
the case with friends, they were eager
to offer advice. Striped Chipmunk
and Johnny Chuck both advised that
he twist his leg of if he couldn't get
free in any other way, which, you
must admit, was rather dreadful ad-
vice. Somehow Peter couldn't follow
that. He didn't have quite courage
enough. He knew that it was done
sometimes by those unfortunate
enough to be caught in dreadful steel
traps. He could remember seeing
member of Jerry MuSkrat's family
who had lost leg in that way He
remembered one of Bobby Coon'S rel
atives and a certain old Skunk, both
of whom travelled on three legs, be-
cause they had been caught in those
dreadful steel traps and Lad twisted
or gnawed off each a leg.
Sammy Jay came along and his sharp
ewes soon discovered what had hap
pened to Peter. Now, Sammy has a
sharp tongue and he is much given
to saying sharp things and sometimes
unkind things to tease or torment his
neighbors This time, however, he did
nothing of the kind. He saw what a
serious situation Peter was in, and he
was full of sympathy.
Too bad, Peter" said he. TOO bad.
I certainly am sorry. Take my advice
and keep quiet. Don't try to pull the
leg out: it will only make it worse.
Keep quiet, and perhaps Farmer
Browns Boy will come along. Perhaps
] can bring him over here"
But Supposing he doesn't come
along. What will do then? Or sup
posing Reddy Fox comes along first,
or Shadow the Weasel, or one Of the
Hawk family. What will do?"

can, to avoid the heat, for they seem
to revel in the deep SHOWS, icy ravines
and places impossible to us.
1t is because of their Sure-footed-
ness that these creature are so high
ly valued as beasts of burden. They
are dependable, have almost unlim-
tied endurance, and their services are
of utmost Importance to their owners.
The only objection to the yaks is their
determination not to eat corn, and
long Journeys must often be taken in
order to find food for them.
This animal is the link between the
OK and the bison. You cannot mis-
take him for any other creature, as
his hairy coat is unsurpassed by other
animals in his class.
At heart they do not seem to be
very sociable. The COWS and their
young may be seen in small groups
during the Summer, where they find
the tender grass growing along the
streams, of which they are extremely
fond. But the bulls either move about
alone or with chosen few compan-
ions.
Though their sense of sight is very
poor, their sense of smell makes up
for the lack and the yaks do all their
grazing at night. In the morning
they seek high place to sleep. Be-
cause they wander about in every di-
rection it is dangerous to stalk them.
as the wind, shifting about, carries
the scent of your clothes to them at
once. Yaks are fearless and do not
hesitate to investigate anything un-
usual on their domain.
Their only form of speech seems to
be grunting. Whether it is because
of sense of injustice for being forced
to bear great loads up perilous noun
tain sides, or whether it is form Of
conversation one cannot say with GER
tainty, for even when they are the
most contanted they grunt.
When you visit Tibetan lamasery
or monastery, be sure and look for
the streams of yak tails swinging from
high poles at the entrance grounds.
They are in demand as fly swatters,
too. They are rather fancy looking,
with twisted black horn handles, and
make lovely contrast to the white
hair. In China these decorative tail
pieces are dyed red and fastened to
the roofs of Summer residences, like
gay pennants.

piled Sammy, so that's why I advice
YOU to sit still and not struggle and
not pull. You've done that, and you
can't get free. If you keep on doing
that and one of those you have men
toned happens along you will attract
attention. II you sit perfectly still
they may not see you. So, all things
considered, my advice is to sit still.
You may be sure that if your friends
can do anything for you they will"
This was good advice. Peter knew
1t was good advice. although. as is so
often the case with good advice, it
was difficult to follow. Jenny Wren
happened along just in time to over
hear what Sammy had said. Tut,

you needing any such advice as that
for?"
Peter explained what had happened.
Jenny flew down on the very stone
that was holding Peter and her bright
little eyes saw at once how hopelessly
Peter was caught. Tut, tut, tut, tut!'
she exclaimed again, but not in her
usual scolding manner. Tut, tut, tut,

advised you to. I don't often trust
Sammy Jay. but this time he has
given you good advice"
The word was soon passed around
among the other feathered folk of the

freely offered advice. Some advised
one thing and some advised another,
and most of the advice was worthless,

their pride. "As proud as peacock"
is a saying which has come down
through the centuries as representing
pride in the nth degree.
There were several first settlers"
in America bearing the name Of Pea
cock. In New England we find that
John Peacock was living in New
Haven, Conn, in 1888 He moved to
Milford and then to StratfOrd, Conn.,,
where in 1870 he died. In 1889 Rich
ard Peacock was a freeman in RoX-
bury, Mass, where he followed the
trade of glazier. William Peacock
came over in 1885, youth Of II, and
settled in Roxbury.
Among the settlers in Pennsylvania
bearing this name we find Thomas,
William and John. Thomas settled
in Reading, John established his home
in Bucks County, while William re-
