Self-Pity

Gin their winter quarters, the
patriarch Of the circus elephant
herd finished his morning airing
and returned to his luxurious box
stall. In one corner, sitting up and
hunched back as far as it could
get, was a little mouse. The ele-
plant glared at him, and then with
swaying trunk and rolling eyes, re-
marked:
"Of all the pusillanimous, insig-
nifcant, ineffectual-looking crea-
lures I have ever seen, you are

The little mouse looked up at him

He was so busy thinking that he
didn't see the twinkle in the dull
little eyes Of Prickly Porky, who
really was not so hard-hearted as
his words sounded. After long
while, during which Peter thought
and thought and Prickly Porky ate
and ate, the latter spoke again.
What have you got on your
mind, Peter?'' he asked.
IL was just thinking how per-
fectly splendid it would be If you
would 60 up there and gnaw way
out of his prison for Chatterer,
replied Peter timidly.
"Huh!" grunted Prickly Porky.
"Huh! Some folks think my wits
are pretty slow, but even I know
better than that. Put on your think
ing cap again, Peter Rabbit"
why can't you? You are not

gnaw his way out with those sharp
teeth Of his, certainly can't gnaw

"That's so. hadn't thought Of
that" replied Peter slowly and sor-
rowfully. II must think Of some
other way to help Chatterer.
I'D be willing to try if it was OF
any use, but it isn't" said Prickly
Porky, who didn't want Peter to
think that he really was as hard
hearted as he had seemed at first.
So Peter babe Prickly Perky
good-by and started for the dear old
Briar Patch to try to think Of some

When armored knights met, it
was customary for each knight to
raise the visor of his helmet as
means of Identification. This ges-
ture has come down through all
armies in the form of the salute.
Traditional, too, is the Army mans
preference for Camel cigarettes.
With men in the Army, Navy, Ma
rines, and Coast Guard, actual
sales records in their service
stores show that Camel is the
favorite. It's one of the favorite
gifts with service men. And though
there are Post Office restrictions
on packages to overseas Army
men, you can still send Camels to
soldiers in the U. S., and to men
in the Navy, Marines, and Coast
Guard wherever they are.-Adv.

Not long since it was pockets that

collar and cuffs upon which design

think and think of some way to help
Chatterer.
Now, Of course, Peter didn't know
what kind of a prison Chatterer was
in. He remembered right away
how Prickly Porky the Porcupine
had gnawed a great hole in the box
in which Johnny Chuck's lost baby
was kept by Farmer Browns Boy.
Why shouldn't Prickly Porky do as
much for Chatterer? He would go
see him at once. The trouble with
Peter is that he doesn't think of all
sides of a question. So now he
scampered down into the Green For
est as fast as his long legs would
carry him to hunt for Prickly Porky.
It was no trouble at all to find him,
for he had only to follow the line of
trees that had been stripped of their
bark.
Good afternoon, Prickly Porky.
Have you heard the news about Chat
terer?" said Peter, talking very
fast, for he was quite out of breath.
eyes," replied Prickly Porky.
'"Serves him right, hope 1t will
teach him a lesson"
Peters heart sank. Don't you
think it is dreadful?" he asked.
"Just think, he will never, never be
able to run and play in the Green
Forest again unless we can get him
out
$50 much the BETTER" grunted
.Prickly Porky. $50 much the bet
ter. He always was nuisance.
Never did see such a fellow for
making trouble for other people. No,
sir, I never did. The rest Of us
can have some peace now. Serves
him right" Prickly Porky went on
chewing bark as if Chatterer's trou-
BILE was no concern of his.
Peters heart sank lower still. He
scratched one long ear slowly with a
long hind foot, which is way he
has when he is thinking very hard.
