plant was, he wondered if the next

sampled that before he had finished

than the last. At least Peter thought
it did. So he went on spelling a

three would have quite filled his

Then he spied long row of car

OF course little Mrs. Peter couldn't

of tapering teeth from 2 to 4 inches
In length.
The bears head is fairly common
in the hardwood forests throughout
most of the United States. Many
who have seen these unusual plants
have not identified them at all as
an edible mushroom. Some foresters
have claimed that this fungus is re-

The bears head is variable In

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.
Busy hand and busy feet
Having useful things TO do.
Mischief seldom leads astray-
Here.s NttlA hint for

The trouble with Peter Rabbit Is
that he isn't a worker. He is a
happy go lucky, good natured, but
lazy. Much as we love him we have
to admit that Peter is lazy when 1t
comes to a matter Of work. He will
spend no end of time and effort
trying to satisfy his curiosity. but
when 1t comes to a matter of useful
work somehow Peter always Is
dreadfully tired. In fact, about the
only work Peter ever does is to cut
little paths through bramble-
tangles for his own comfort and
safety.
Peter never could and never will
understand why most of his feath-
cred neighbors build new homes
every spring. 1t seems to him a
terrible waste of time. He cannot
understand why they do not patch
up their old homes. That is what
he would do. I mean that if he was
bird he would each year patch up
his old home If it was SO fallen to
pieces that he just couldn't live in
it without doing so, and be quite
contented. If it were possible to live
In 1t without patching it he WOULDN'T t
take even that much bother. You
see Peter has no pride in appear
ance. That is what is the trouble
with Peter. He doesn't care how he
looks or how his home looks. He
hasn't learned tnat there Is more
true pleasure in honest work well
done than in anything else under
the sun.
So having nothing in particular to
do Peter is very apt to get into mis-
chief. Curiosity leads him into
places where he has no business to
go and half his troubles come from
this and the fact that he has moth
ing to do but try to satisfy that
dreadful curiosity. Now there was
no reason in the world why Peter
should go up to Farmer Browns
garden. There was plenty to eat
right near the dear Old Brier Patch
There was the sweetest of sweet
clover, more than Peter could eat in
hundred years. There was tender
