FO0LlsH PETER RABBIT

You find in life's exacting school,

Desire often plays the fool. -Old Mother Nature.

it was winter and these were hard times for everybody. They were harder for some folks than for others. The eaters of meat. who had to catch most of their food. or all of it, really had the hardest time Peter Rabbit and Mrs. Pet- er in the dear Old Briar Patch really were not having as hard a time as they thought they were. It was true that no longer was there ally sweet clover or tender green grass and other plants of which they are fond. But lacking these things. they still didnit have to starve. There was always bark on bushes and small trees and they had just the right kind of teeth for stripping that bark off. Then too there were tender twigs with the tiny leaf buds for next year. So really the times were not so hard for them as they seemed to think they were.

Now of course the safest place in all the Great World was in the clear Old Briar Patch. Peter could get all the food he needed right there. He knew that hungry hunt- ers were abroad day and night. They always are in hard times when food is scarce. So the place for Peter to stay was right at home in the dear Old Brlar Patch, and he fully intended to do so. He said so to Mrs. Peter.

"I am glad you are showing some sense. Peter Rabbit," said she:

He was quite used to being scold- ed for leaving the Old Briar Patch. Peter did stay at home for a couple of days and nights. Then he began to get uneasy. He wanted to run

over to the Green Pasture or the Old Orchard or the Green Forest or the Big River, anywhere so long, as it was away from the dear Old Briar Patch. You see, Peter has two things that are constantly get- ting him into trouble. The two things to together. One is curiosity. The other is the wandering foot which means that Peter likes to be going somewhere. His curiosity al- ways finds an excuse for doing

s.

Hooty the Owl. called the Great Horned Owl, although he has no horns at all, is the biggest of the Owl family. He hunts mostly at night for he has night-seeing eyes. But when he is very, very hungry and food is very, very scarce, he often hunts in the daytime, especi- ally on dull, dark days.

It was on just such a day as this that Peter took it into his foolish head that he would run over to the Green Forest. To get there he had to cross the Green Meadows where there was nothing under which or behind which to hide should there be need of hiding. He had seen Reddy Fox leave the Old ppasture and go over toward the Big River. He had seen Mrs. Reddy, return- ing from a hunt. disappear up In the Old Pasture and felt sure that she was lying down for a rest. These were the only two hunters he feared in daytime.

"If I run fast I can get over to the Green Forest in no time at all and there are plenty of safe places over there.” thought Peter as he poked his head out of the dear Old Briar Patch for a look around.

The way seemed clear. Peter sat up just outside for another hasty look around. Then he started for the Green Forest lipperty. lippcrty lip. Foolish Peter Rabbit had for- gotten there was such a person as Hooty the Owl.

midget. Gen. Tom Thumb, riding in a bright blue carriage drawn by four Shetland ponies stole the show. Tom Thumb was only 25 i'Iches tall. The ponies were three inches taller. As you may have guessed. the great P.T. Barnum had arrang- ed for the celebrated seven-year- old midget to ride in the section of the parade reserved for aoyalty. The coachman and footman were brothers. 36 and 37 inches' tall. .They wore blue coats, red knee- breeches, white stockings, ' " hats and wigs. As the parade pass- ed. crowds of people shouted, "Viva le General! Tom Pouce!Tom Ponce!" Gen. Tom Thumb waved as he leaned from the coach wind- ows.

When the coachman and foot- man, unable to contain their joy behind straight faces, grinned broadly, cheers reached thunder- ous proportions-for the coachman and his brother were toothless youngsters, having just lost their baby teeth

Imagine a one-room house 250- fcet tall! There's one in Califor- nis's famed redwood forest on High- way No. 10! about 193 miles north of San Francisco. It's in a hollow forest giant which foresters say was scooped out by flames (I10 years ago.

The ancient fire made a room

feet high. Indians used the natural tree room as a meeting place. It was used as a dormitory by 29 con vict-workers building a road through the forest. But the huge tree didn't really become a home until the late Mrs. Minnie S. Lilly, a pioneer school teacher. bought the property and moved in. Eight years ago. Mrs. Lilly's niece took over. She has been managing toun ist cabins on the property. Visitors there today may enter the tree room and look out through wind- OWS.
