Her chin was well-formed, decld-

Suddenly the secretary spied

Ted stood up, protesting, and

Ted Graham was. They had read

Bedtime Stories
Flathorns Interferes.

Forest, and now here was some one
bigger than he. He didn't like it at all.
The reason he hung around was
something else altogether. He had
noted the curiosity of all the other
people of the Green Forest and how
they had gathered there from far and
near. Where so many were gathered
there might be chance to find some
one so careless or so curious as to be
forgetful and fail to keep watch. Thus
he might get a good meal with little
trouble. He wanted a few more good
meals before going to bed for the
Winter.
Now the very thing that Buster
Bear thought might happen did hap
pen. Peter Rabbit became so curious
that he became careless. He forgot
to watch out. Flathorns had gone
down to the waters edge for a drink.
Peter sat little distance back, look
ing on and thinking over some of the
things he had learned from Flathorns.
He forgot where he was. He forgot
that there could be such a thing as
danger. So 1t was that Buster Bear
was almost near enough to strike
Peter with one Of his big feet before
Peter saw him. Peter leaped. So did
Buster Bear. 1t was astonighing how
quick the big fellow was.
Peter lodged. He saw hole under
an old stump and darted into it. It
wasn't a very deep hole, but Buster
couldn't reach him, although he tried
his best, thrusting one Of his arms in
clear to the shoulder. Finding he
couldn't reach Peter that way, he be-
gan to dig. Yes, sir, he began to tear
away that old stump and dig under
it. all the time growing as only Bus
ter can. 1t looked bad for Peter. II
certainly looked bad for Peter.
1t was just then that Flathorns, re-
turning from the water, found Buster
in his way, or thought he was. He
promptly interfered He interfered in
a way most painful to Buster Bear.

the shore Of the pond Of Paddy the
Beaver, deep in the Green Forest, and
pestering Flathorns with questions.
Peter didn't mean to poster Flathorns.
He was simply trying to satisfy his
curiosity. You see, this was the first
visit of Flathorns to the Green For
est, so, of course, Peter never had seen
him before.
Now, Of course, there are other peo-
pie about the pond Of Paddy the Bea-
yer. In fact. every one who heard Of
the arrival of Flathorns and could get
over there made 1t a point to visit
Paddys Pond as If by chance.
Paddy chuckled over it. 1--WE haven't
been so popular since we first ar
rived in the Green Forest and built
the dam that made this pond. They
all came then, just as they have come
now" said he, speaking to Mrs. Paddy.
There's difference this time" said
Mrs. Paddy. 1T isn't we who are pop
ular; it isn't to see us that they have
come. 1t is to see Flathorns. If he
should go to some other part of the
Green Forest to stay Tor while they
would all 60 there"
Paddy nodded. Mrs. Paddy was
right. Flathorns was the attraction.
This because he was so big and an
utter stranger to all save Honker
the Goose and his flock.
Now among the visitors was Buster
Bear. Buster hadn't come to the pond
to see Flathorns, he had been there
when F1athorns arrived. But ever
since then he had hung around. He
would wander of for short time and
then return. 1t wasn't because he
was interested in Flathorns. 1t wasn't
because he felt friendly toward him.
He didn't. He felt anything but
friendly. He had all along been the
biggest Of all the people in the Green

Old Mother Nature,
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

TT IS seldom that the little people
of the Green Forest, or the big
ones either, for that matter, in
i terfere with others unless there
appears to be something to be gained
personally by so doing. As rule those
who get in trouble with others are
left to get out of their trouble as best
they can. But now and then some
one interferes In something that is
no concern Of theirs and helps some
one else greatly, although such may
not have been the intention at all.
You see, everything we do or almost
everything We do, affects others for
good or i'll. The queer part of it is
that often we do not know it.

advised of the shooting of an east
ern mourning dove in Cuba, the
first case of the kind on record.
According 70 the information
received the bird was shot Feb
ruary Is, 1886, by P. Rodriguez
in Havana. 1t bore the band of
the U. S. Biological Survey, which
was numbered 34-308011. This
shows that the bird was banded in
Key West by Mr.. Demeritt on
July 80, 1886.
This is the second record at
tributed to the activity of the
survey in Key West. The other
was made evident some months
ago when two tawny winged black
birds, natives of the West Indies,
were captured in Mr.. Demeritt's
traps in Key West.
This morning he began placing
his traps, he told The Citizen, be-
cause the doves are beginning to
migrate southwark and quite a

Crazy Mans Sense 50"
Brings Prosperity

BELGRADE, Aug. 1S.--The
common sense of a man long re-
garded as crazy has made the
Serbian town of Smederewo into
model community.
When Jovam Popowitsch re-
turned from the World war, he
gave all his possessions to the
poor, and lived for 10 years in his
family vault. Then he went to live
in cave outside the town and
farmers, although they believed
him insane, brought him food.
The farmers often asked him
for advice, and found it good. He
advised them to work harder, plan
better, and save their money in
stead of spending it all as custo-
mary on weddings and funerals.
His fame spread, and people fol-
lowed his advice where they hadn't
listened to similar instructions
from teachers and officials.
The result is that Smederewo is
unusually prosperous.

FISHING ALONG
KEYS REPORTED
VERY GOOD NOW
CHARLES D. GROVE OF COOK
ISLAND SAYS ANGLING. is
ATTRACTING MANY WIS.,
TORS TO THAT AREA

Charles D. Grove, of Cook Is
land, writes The Citizen that fish
ing along the Keys in that area is
attracting the attention of many
visitors and good catches are be-
ing recorded.
Among last weeks visitors were
John C. Fox, writer of the angling
news for the Plainfield Courier,
Plainfield, N. j.; Robert Seidell,
Miss Florence G. Hall and Miss
Gene Seide.l, all of Plainfield.
Considered one of the most sue
cessful trout anglers in New Jer-
sey, Mr.. Fox will have some great
stories to write of the fishing in
these waters, writes Mr.. Grove,
after eight perfect days weather
condition, being ideal and fish OF
all kinds striking.
He trolled part of the time, and
spent the rest still fishing and 60
ing after crawfish and, as he ex-
pressed it, did not have an idle
moment. Two hours after he ar
rived he brought in two fine
grouper. He also took a number
of moonfish and some of the larg-
est runners seen in that section.
Mr.. Fox's greatest thrill, he
said, was bringing to boat a "a
pound barracuda on light tackle.
He also hooked several good sized
tarpon and Jewish, but with the
light tackle, lost them.
Catching the vtarpon. wss a great
experience and, writes Mr.. Grove,
ne, Fox, was as tickled as a kid
with "a big all-day sucker" Now
he is booster for Key fishing and
has made arrangements to return
in the fall with group of friends
and show what "we have in the
way of bigger and better fishing"
