with which he was not familiar.
Furthermore. he seldom ignored
an opportunity to broadcast his
familiarity with the particular
problem before the council at the
time. and more often than not his
remarks were caustically critical
of some operating method or in
dividual in city service.
When aroused, which was al
most every day, Hamilton's emo
iton gushed out through his glar-
ing eyes and his failing arms. In
such a mood he seemed about to
burst.
1t goes almost without saying,
therefore, that he made a lot of
enemies.

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

When Peter Rabbit left Longbill
the Woodcock he kept on down
the Laughing Brook to the Smiling
Pool. Right where the Laughing
Brook enters the Smiling Pool
there is little pebbly beach. Run
ming along the very edge of the
water was a slim, trim little bird
with fairly long legs, long, slender
bill, browniSh gray back with black
spots and markings, and white
WaiStcoat neatly spotted with black
Every few steps he would stop to
pick up something, then stand for
second, bobbing up and down in
the funniest way, as if his body
was so nicely balanced on his legs
that it teetered back and forth like
a SeesaW. 1t was an old friend,
Teeter the Spotted Sandpiper.
Peter greeted him joyously.
''Peet-Weet! Peet-weet" cried
Teeter, turning toward Peter and
bObblng and bowling as only Teeter
can. Before Peter could say an
other word Teeter came running
toward him, and it was plain to
see that he was very anxious about
something. Don't move. Peter
Rabbit Don't novel" he cried.
why mott" demanded Peter, for
he could see no danger and could
think of no reason why he
shouldn't move. Just then Mrs.
letter came hurrying up and
squatted down in the sand right
in front of Peter. Thank good
ness!" exclaimed Teeter, still bob
bling and bowling. IF you had taken
another step, Peter Rabbit, you
would have stepped right on our
eggs. You gave me a dreadful
start"
Peter was puzzled. He showed it
as he stared down at Mrs. Teeter
just in front of him. Il don't see
any nest or eggs or anything" said
he rather testify.
Mrs. Teeter stood up and stepped
aside. Then Peter saw in a little
hollow in the sand, with Just a few
bits OF grass for lining, four white
eggs with big dark blotches on
them. They looked so like the sur
rounding pebbles that he never
would have seen them in the world
but for Mrs. Teeter. Hastily Peter
backed away a few steps. Mrs.
Teeter slipped back on the eggs and
settled herself comfortably. 1t
struck Peter that if he hadn't seen
her do it he wouldn't have known
she was there. You see she looked
so much like her surroundings that
he never would have noticed her at
all. My" he exclaimed, Il Ger
tainly would have stepped on those
eggs if you hadn't warned me. I'm
so thankful 1 didn't. I don't see
how you dare lay them in the open
like this"
Mrs. Teeter laughed softly. Its
the safest place in the world, Peter -
said she. They look so much like
these pebbles around here that no
one sees them. The only time they
are In danger is when somebody
comes along as you did and is likely
to step on them without seeing
them. But that doesn't happen
often"

at the end of the tunnel my birth
certificate to prove that I was a
United States citizen. They also ex-
amined my suitcaSes to make sure
that wasn't trying TO smuggle any,
thing into Canada. They told me
that citizens of the United States
could use their birth certificates or
citizenship papers to get across the
border, but Canadian citizens had
to have passport.
When this was finished, my uncle
met me and drove me to his house.
In the streets we passed many uni
formed soldiers. Some of them be-
longed to the Scottish regiment and
had on kits, said to be 16 feet around
at the hem. In all the store windows
were signs which read: Don't Give
Up Hope. England Will Win in
the End
During my stay in Canada, I found
the people wholeheartedly loyal to
their country. Even the children
did their part. They helped wind
bandages and to do other things.
I know they don't have to go
through air raids and bombings like
England, but they certainly gave me
the impression that if they had to,
they could put up with it just as we'll
as those in the mother country.

Normal College, the Federal Farm
Security Administration and the
Office of Indian Affairs. Interior De-
'partment. 1t was written and di-
rected by Miss Ella Cara Deloria of
Indian Affairs.
The first scene was Symbolical
prelude of the last of the Indian
Questors. The QueStor, coming to
clearing in the woods, clad only
In a native dress and looking to the
heavens, reached out his arms to-
wards the sun in worship but re-
ceiving no answer, turned to the
moon, with no better results. Then
In desperation, stretching his arms
in vain to the stars, he sank to the
ground, exhausted. He then rose,
took off one bracelet, offered it,
threw it aside, and removed his
other bracelet. After removing all
but his knife and girdle, he took
out his knife, knelt on the ground,
and sacrificed" himself, pretending
to slash his arms and chest.
This was all in vain, for the great
upon the earth, the Questor lay as
If he were unconscious. While
lying there he heard voice and
realized that it was mother earth
answering him. Then he knew that
it was to her to whom he should go
In time of need.
The scene following the prelude
showed the Indian chief and his
warriors participating in the Indian
worship for a more prosperous corn
crop. Suddenly, from the woods
came a warning cry, and an Indian
runner came dashing into the glade,
breathless, to the feet of the chief.
He carried the sad news of the death
Of the bravest warrior Of the tribe.
A hush came over the group and
the chief hung his head in grief.
The runner, recovering, gave the
warriors last message to them. The
message was:
Always receive the white people
with kindness; be hospitable to all,
feed the hungry, care for the sick
and live in peace with all men,"
I have found this to be true. The
Indians have carried out the last
wish OF this brave warrior.
