Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

The longer Peter Rabbit stared
at the stranger in the Old Orchard
the more he realized how mistaken
he had been in thinking that he
was dressed all in black. Now that
Peter was so near he could see that
the stranger was speckled all over
with tiny light spots. Underneath
he was dark brownish-gray. His
wings and tail were the same color,
with little touches of buff. His
rather large bill was yellow.
Peter hurried back to Jenny Wren,
and, it must be confessed, he looked
sheepish. You were right. Jenny
Wren. He isn't black at ALL" con-
fessed Peter.
"Of course I was right. I usually
am" retorted Jenny. He isn't
black, he isn't even related to the
Blackbird family. and he hasn't any
business in this country, anyway.
He's a foreigner. That's what he
is, foreigner"
But you haven't told me who
he is" protested Peter.
He is Spreckles the Startling, and
he isn't really an American at all,
replied Jenny He comes from
across the ocean the same as Bully
the English Sparrow. Thank good
ness he hasn't such a quarrelsome
disposition as Bully. Just the same,
the rest of us would be better
satisfied if he were not here. He
has taken possession of one of the
old houses of Yellow Wing the
Flicker, and that means one less
house for birds who really belong
here. If his family increases at the
rate Bullys family does, I'm afraid
some of us will be crowded out of
the Old Orchard. Did you notice
that yellow bill of his?"
Peter nodded Il certainly did"
said he. Il couldn't very we'll help
noticing it"
We'll, there's funny thing about
that BILL" replied Jenny. In winter
it turns almost black Most of us
wear a different colored suit in
winter, but our bills remain the
same"
He seems to be pretty we'll fixed
here, and I don't see but what the
thing for the rest of the birds TO
do is to make the best of the
matter" said Peter. What I want
to know is, whether or not he is of
any use?"
Il guess he must be of some
good" admitted Jenny Wren rather
grudgingly. I've seen him picking
up worms and grubs, but he likes
grain. and I have a suspicion that
If his family becomes very numer-
GUS, and I suspect 1t will, they will
eat more Of Farmer Browns grain
than they will pay for by the worms
and bugs they destroy. Hellol

Court Rule Clouds Validity
OF 50 Years Of Tax Sales
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. T..
OAKLAND, Md, Aug. 25.-Be-
cause vital procedure in property
sales for unpaid taxes in Garrett
County was customarily omitted by
county treasurers, the legality OF
similar transactions over period of
so years today appeared to be
affected.
Title given to Charles w. Ream
and Ernest Ashby by the county
commissioners in January, 1896,
covering purchase OF 97-acre tract
of county property was declared void
in decision handed down by Chief
Judge D. Lindley Sloan.
Judge Sloan declared three omis-
sions Of proper procedure in transfer
of the land from the county treas
urer to the commissioners-publica-
ton of an order nisi, ratification of
the sale, and transfer of the deed
by the treasurer to- the commits
sioners-constituted missing link
in the chain of title in the land
records of Garrett County.
1t was brought out in the hearing
that the missing link" method OF
sales to county commissioners had
been followed by county .treasurers
for about half century,
