Peter Tries It Again.

who stopped singing and disappeared.
Instantly all the singers stopped sing
ing, - II all had become alarmed at
the same instant. The silence seemed
the greater because Of the noise an
instant before. Peter blinked. He
couldn't possibly have been heard or
seen by any Of those singers more
than a few feet away.
In . moment or two Jerry Musk
rat came swimming back. He float
ed out Just in front Of Peter. Don't
you like the Spring chorus?" Jerry
asked.
"Of course, I like 1t. I love It,"
Peter replied.
Then what did you stop it again
for?" inquired Jerry.
II didn't" declared Peter indig-
nantly.
"Oh. yes. you did," asserted Jerry.
"You startled pepper and he stopped
singing"
well, what II did," demanded
Peter.
Nothing much, only in making
him stop singing you made all the
rest stop"
"Nonsense" cried Peter. How
could II"
mo nonsense about IT," retorted
Jerry. "Peeper stopped singing, didn't
he?"
"Of course. know why he stopped.
startled him." replied Peter.
"Well, when he stopped those near
est him missed his voice and knew
he must have stopped because he
suspected danger, so they stopped
singing, too. And those nearest them
stopped singing for the same reason.
SO all stopped. You signaled warn
ing to me a while ago by thump-
ing with your hind feet. You sig
nailed by making a noise. pepper
signaled by stopping his song. He
signaled by ceasing to make noise
Any one Of those singers can stop
all by stopping singing himself.
That's . funny way Of giving =
signal" declared Peter.

ed Jerry, and swan away.
Peter remained where he was.
After q time there came from the
water q few scattered notes, then
more and more, until the great cho-
rus was once more in full swing.
"Ill try 1t again." thought Peter
"Ill try 1t again, and II they all stop
singing I'll believe Jerry knows what
he Is talking about"

Asks Aid Take Count Of Those
 Not Employed

Juneau, October 25, 1887 THE NOME NUGGET
 Nome, Alaska.
 Gentlemen:
 I am taking the liberty of writ ing you to solicit your coopera- tion in the forthcoming Census of Unemployment and Partial Un- employment which Congress has decreed.
 As you know, this census which is calculated to give a quick and adequate picture of unemploy- ment conditions in the United States, will be conducted through the facilities of the Postoffice De- parment by the distribution of blanks to all of the 31, 100000 Am erican homes on November l6 and 17. The unemployed and partly unemployed are being ask ed to fill out these blanks and re- turn them to their local Postmas- ters by midnight of November 20, after which the Postoffice repre- sentatives will conduct further checks so as to eliminate dupli- cation.
 In view of the fact that it is necessary, in order to avoid the Christmas rush in post offices, to have this census out of the way by December l, we have been forced to appeal directly to the cities, in telegrams and letters di- rected to Mayors, asking the ap- pointment of citizens committees 10 cooperate with the local Post masters, particularly in obtaining wide publicity in connection with the canvass and in the dissemin- ation of information as to plans and purposes.
 am sure you will agree that unemployment is one of our ma jor national problems. A full knowledge of the extent of unen ployment; it's geographical con- centration; it's classification by age groups; the qualifications of those unemployed, and trades most effected, is essential before the nation can undertake a com prehensive corrective plan.
 A great many people have had honest differences as to the best method of taking this census. Many have favored an enumera- tive census; and some have call ed for compulsory registration. But Congress, in authorizing this census has decreed that it shall be voluntary, and the President has outlined the plan-a plan whi oh can succeed if the cooperative spirit of all of our people can be enlisted. That is why 1 am ap- pealing for your moral leader ship in your city to arouse the interest of your citizens to the importance of complete response and to an appreciation of the val ue of the results to be obtained. l believe America does best that which it has the spirit to do of its own volition. That is why I am confident that voluntary en- rollment of the unemployed will succeed if our responsible leaders unite in appealing to the patriot ism of our people.
 l would greatly appreciate your fullest cooeration and I hope you will feet free to offer any sugges- tions that would contribute to the success of the enterprise.
 Very truly yours,
 EDWARD w. GRIFFIN.
