Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

There have been many, many
times when Peter Rabbit hasn't
dared 60 home to the dear Old
Brier Patch. Yes, sir, there have
been many such times. There have
been times when he knew that
Reddy or old Granny Fox or Old
Man Coyote was hiding to catch
him on the way. There have been
times when Redtail the Hawk or his
cousin, Roughleg, sat just where it
was impossible for any one to cross
from the Green Forest to the dear
Old Brier Patch without being seen.

You see he had just saved the
eggs of Mrs. Slow Poke the Box
Turtle. He had saved them from
being found and eaten by Unc' Billy
Possum, and had done it in a very
clever way. Indeed, he had been so
very clever that he was quite puffed
up with his own cleverness and he
was in a hurry to get home and tell
little Mrs. Peter all about it. You
remember that he had seen Mrs.
Slow Poke bury those eggs and then
he had seen Unc' Billy Possum hunt
for them. When Unc' Billy had
headed straight toward the place
where those eggs were, Peter had
hoped over and had sat down on
that very spot. OF course, with Peter
sitting there. INC Billy couldn't see

ut is the best way. If I am seen
around here some folks will suspect
right away that those eggs are near
here. But If. am not around here
no one will think to look for them.
So now I'll hurry away. Good-by."
Peter had to grin as he watched
Mrs. Slow Poke hurry. 1t was the
slowest kind of hurrying, but 1t was
hurrying to her. He saw that there
was some truth in what she had
said, but somehow he couldn't bear
to think of leaving those eggs un-
guarded. So he crept into his
favorite place in the bramble- -tangle
close by and thought the whole
matter over.

OXFORD ORPHANAGE
POINTS TO RECORD
5000 Children Trained By
Pioneer Institution In So
cial Welfare Work

Oxford, Oct 24-The Oxford Or
phanage at Oxford, North Carolina,
has a record of sixty-seven years II
service to the children Of North Car
DINA Over 5000 have been cared for
and trained and the home is filled
to capacity all the time and has a
waiting list. Its graduates and for
mer pupils are in all walks Of life
and there is no record Of a former
pupil having been convicted and SEN
fenced for committing major crime.
1t is the oldest orphanage in the
State and the only fraternal order
orphanage in the United States that
receives children other than those Of
the membership Of the supporting Or
der.
At the present time SO per cent
of the population Of the Orphanage is
of Masonic parentage. The home
possesses valuable buildings, grounds
and equipment and has had no OPP
Grating deficit for several years.
The annual budget of the Orphan
age calls for an expenditure of
$4,000. This provides shelter, cloth
ing, food, recreation, heat, light,
books, school supplies, health pro-
gram, staff of trained workers, voca-
tional training in several depart
ments, laundry, repairs and upkeep
to buildings, grounds and equipment,
and experienced case work for a
family of more than $50 children.
During this year much needed re-
pairs and requirements have been
made in an effort to provide more
comfortable living quarters for the
children and enable the Orphanage
to continue its high standard in the
country as an agency for care and
training.
Better living facilities have been
provided in all the cottages and every
effort has been made to make cOndi-
tons more home-like.
Superintendent c. K. Proctor an
nounces that the sum of S12,5OO is
needed this year in addition to OPP
Grating expenses in order to provide
for the repairs and improvements
that have bee nmade.

ment in the lives of North Carolina

wise have a chance. 1t pays to the

Closs's Column

To Swat or Not to Swat: Imagine
the dilemma of two young ladies who
attended the Roanoke Rapids Pres
byterian church last Sunday. In front
Of them sat the principal Of the high
school and bee The congra-
cation rose and so did the principal
and the bee. The congregation
sang a hymn. . and SO did the
principal and the bee. The
congregation prepared to sit down,
and so did the principal +. and
the bee, except that the principal
and the bee wanted to sit in the
same place. To swat or not to swat?
The young ladies debated. The con-
gregation sat and so did the
principal and the bee, but just in the
nick Of time the bee gave in, gave
up the principals seat, and sat him
self beside him, croWding closely.
When asked how it feels to sit on
a bee in church. the principal replied,
"wait until we get off the church
grounds and I'll tell you"
Baby Poem No. 7
A fist, foot, a rattle,
And piece of hard dry toast;
With all these in your mouth, you
prattle
And even try to boast;
No matter how they're crowded,
These treasures you adore,
With mouth so full, your motto's
still
'There's always room for more!"
GHOAST STORY: at least part of
my interest in stories Of ghosts, pre-
Imonitions, and clairvoyance dates
back to something that happened in
my own family during the Civil War.
The people involved were my great
grandmother, Ann Arendell Gloss,
and her son, William Gloss.
William Gloss was sixteen years
old when he ran away to join the
Confederate army. His mother i'm
mediately became i'll, and died from
what was said to be broken heart
lust before she died, she exclaimed
81 see my son! He has been wounded:
He has been shot through the mouth
his beautiful teeth are gone
md he is bleeding badly. See, they
have carried him and placed him
lunder a cedar tree He is dead, and
they have wrapped his body in the
confederate flag. They will bury
him under the cedar tree"
Two months after his mothers
death, William Gloss was shot. Twice
the Confederate flag had fallen, ane
twice had been picked up by othel
hands. AS each officer was shot pick.
ng up the flag, the next in line tool
it, and so it became the turn of Viii.
liam, seventeen years old the da,
before, and he too picked it up. l
was this flag that his body wa
, wrapped in, and he was buried be
t meath a cedar tree. Much later tn
: family located the grave, directed b.
a letter (Which I now have) writer
by one who helped bury the boy
When his body was removed to tn
family burying ground, it was foun
without any mark or blemish what
to be in perfect state of preservation
! ever except for the woun
= = through his mouth, from which h
had bled to death. His death an
burial had been exactly as his moth
er had forseen.
