 ''Its an old house made by one of Johnny Chuck's relatives" !" thought Peter. 'I wonder if there is a good bedroom where I can take nap"
 He kept on down the long hall, and sure enough presently came to a snug bedroom. He was just about to make himself comfortable for a nap when he noticed another hall.
 "I wonder where this goes to" thought Peter. T believe I'll find out"
 So very carefully Peter crept along the other hall. It was very much longer than the first one. By and by he saw a little daylight ahead and knew that he was nearly

to a doorway. Like the first door. way, this one was partly closed with dead leaves and sticks. Peter peeped out between them. Then his heart gave great jump. That doorway wasn't under the old brush pile at all. It was almost under the very tree in which sat Redtail the Hawk keeping watch, and it was nearly hidden by little hemlock tree growing close by. Peter chuck led, a still little chuckle. that no one should hear. Then he stretched himself out to watch and wait. When the black shadows began to creep through the Green Forest Redtail flew away to get Hooty the Owl to take his place, for you know Red tail cannot see at night Then very. very carefully, Peter pulled aside the leaves and sticks and tiptoed out
 taking care not to make the teeni- est, weeniest sound. As soon as he dared he began to run, lipperty- lipperty-lip, and soon was well on his way to the dear Old Briar Patch.

'I wonder where this goes to-" thought Peter. 'I believe I'll find out"
 forever because, you know, there was nothing to eat and Peter. like most folks, just has to eat. But Peter has a great deal of wisdom in his funny little head, even if he does sometimes do very foolish things, and one of the wisest things that Peter does is never to give up hope.
 So when Peter crawled under that pile of brush and so escaped Reddy Fox his first thought was one of thankfulness. He didn't know how he was ever going to get back to the dear Old Briar Patch, but he was safe so long as he stayed where he was, and he was very thankful for that.
 After he had rested and quite got his breath Peter began to look around to see just what kind of a place the old brush pile was. He saw right away that just so long as he stayed there he was perfectly safe, for the brush was so thick that Reddy Fox could never crawl under.
 'It's a regular castle" thought Peter.
 Now Peter didn't know much about castles. If he had he would have expected to find somewhere a secret passage. All cast you know, have secret pas s. Any way, they are supposed .o. But Pe- ter didn't know this, and so when he came to an old stump right in the middle of the brush pile and be- | tween the roots of it found a hole

Thought Without Language

Language in it's broadest sense is any means of expressing thought, SO that a dog which barks to attract attention or wags his tail to show pleasure is putting his thought into language. There is common say ing that thought may be too deep to be put into words. Infants who have not yet learned to talk have their own way of expressing their thoughts. In general,-4k may be said that language is absolutely necessary for any depth of thought Samuel Johnson said Language is the dress of thought" and2arlyle said Language is the flesh-gar. ment. the body of thought"

"Tiger of Insect World"

A tiger of the insect world is the praying mantis. Though harm less to men, animals and plants, mantis devour each other, flies, grasshoppers, worms, moths, butter flies. In South America, large man. tis have been known to attack and kill small frogs. lizards and birds. The name comes from the shape of their front legs, always held up like the hands of a person in prayer. A mantis also is called soothsayer, mule killer, devil horse, rear horse and camel-cricket. In China. man. tis are kept in bamboo cages, matched like fighting cocks.

Beauty Standards Alter With Years,
 Says Betty Wells
By BETTY WELLS

EACH generation, and almost ev- I cry individual. feels pretty su- perior on the subject of taste. In short, what we like is good taste while bad taste is the prerogative of the other person. Isn't bad taste always something associated with somebody else rather than our selves? But what about the person we accuse? Perhaps, in fact very probably. he thinks the same thing about us. And rarely, indeed if ever. does one generation fail to scorn the taste of the preceding generation.
 Broadly. taste reflects standards of beauty. Yet we constantly hear authoritative artists and decorators say that there have been throughout art history certain recognized standards of beauty that can be ac- cepted as beauty.
 We are convinced that there are no hard and fast standards, no set definitions. That beauty is spiritual quality, like love. That it is individual and ephemeral, like happiness. That we can't measure it or make rules about it.
 So we try not to be glib about our taste. And so positive about what is beautiful and what is ugly. Be- cause time and tastes change, and we don't see why we must consider our taste so superior to that of the gay nineties, just because it is diff ferent. If we like it, that's enough.

Seals, beavers and muskrats. which can withstand submersion for about five times as long as land mammals, reveal that their ability to survive without breathing is due to insensitivity of their respiratory adjustments to carbon dioxide.
