Right now, Peter was over in the Green Forest. There is a place there where the cedar trees grow very close together. Peter M5 spending the day there. He had come over to the Green For- est the mght before, and he had stayed so la in the morning that he hadn't dared to cross the snow-covered Green Meadows to the dear Old Briar-patch. lie really (il(ill'l mind. in fact, be was glad of an excuse to stay over in the (green Forest.

The low, snow-covered boughs at those cedar trees were wonder- iul to creep under. They offered many hiding places. Having been out all night, Peter had been tak- ing a nap. lie had been awakened 1,5 a familiar voice. At least, he thought he had heard a familiar toit-L-.

Nortli'a six-spade Jump bid was peculiar, to put it mildly - the the-diamond call had not im- proved his holding. As it hap- pened, however, the Ilaln con- tract was completely sound.

West opened the ace of hearts and South ruffed. The Ice and king of trumps were then cash- od - and South did not later com- plain about that 2-2 break. He was bittar, however, when the lead of two top diamonds dia- closed East's stopper. South de- cided that it would now be neces- aary to throw his own losing dia- mond on a long club in dummy. and to that end he cashed the chili ace and led the jack. East won and returned the king of hearts. Declarer ruffed and led his club six to the queen. The non-liri-ak of clubs was the final straw and there was no way to avoid the loss of a diamond to East.

Smith did- not even get off on the i-iizht foot. After rutflng the heart opening he should have cash- Pd only one top trump in his own hand. then led to a trump in dummy and ruffed sway dum- m.v's other heart. Next, upon 1llS('m'ei'inlZ the diamond break. his best chance was to continue with diamonds. throwing East in with the fourth round in hope that East also held the club king. pmayinx West for the club king involved the hope that the club suit would also break 3-8, whereas lhc throw-in of East with s dia- mond wouldhwork it East had the Club kink. no matter how well Riiiirded. i

as Peter was settling himself for another nap Sammy Jay saw him. for Sammy has very sharp eyes. He flew-over near Peter. "What are you over here for in the daytime, Peter Rabbit?" asked Sammy.

"I'm trying to take a nap," replied Peter crossly, just as it he didn't know what Sammy Jay meant! "You woke me tip." "Me? I did nothing of the kind,” retorted Sammy Jay. He sounded a bit indignant.

"Oh, yes, you did," replied Peter. "l heiird you pietending you were Welcome Robin." Sammy stared hard at Peter. "What did you say?” he asked. ”I said. you woke me up pi'e- tending you were Welcome Robin. You really had me fooled for a few minutes." said Peter.

"I did nothing of the kind," declared Sammy Jay. ”Why in the world should I be imitating Welcome Robin? You must have been dreaming.”

"That is what.I thought at first," replied Peter. ”But the next time I heard you, I was wide awake. Then I saw you, and I knew who it was I had heard.” "So you don't believe your own cars," said Sammy. ”Your ears told you that you heard Welcome Robin, but you don't believe it. It is too bad when any one can- not believe his own cars. You may not have heard Welcome Robin, but you didn't hear me. either. No, sir, you didnt hear me." "Says youl" replied Peter. "You can't fool me, Sammy Jay. ”I've heard you before pretend- ing you were some one else. i couldnlt have heard Welcome Robin. because Welcome Robin is not here." "How do you know he isn't?" replied Sammy Jay.

The only American city that can boast a man-sized lake with- in its limits is Barbeton, Ohio. Not only is Lake Anna quite large. but it is at least half a miie ) Scientists believe this curious lake was created during the ice age. Its water- level remains fairly constant. It has no inlet or outlet. Geologists think it may be fed from undergorund streams and that evaporation takes care of excess water.

The lake was named in honor of Anna Barber. daughter of the city's founder. 0. C. Barber. In 1890 Barber began building Bar- berton around the so-called bot- lomless blue water lake which today reflects the downtown skyline.

The city acquired title to the lake from its owners for 850,000 in i915.

Remember that, while a match has a head it is not capable of thinking, so never let it go out alone.

Residents in Tangiers Island in Chesapeake Bay, still bury their dead in their front yards. This is an old custom dating back to colonial days.

To this day the island does not allow cars on its streets. And you can "rent a room or apart- ment here for a mere song.
