Stories for (Bedtime Sanuny Jay Brings News. By Thornton W. Burgess. (Copyright 1818, ly J. O. XJoyd.) Peter Rabbit had a very funny feel ing. He bad started out that morning wun tne best intentions in the world. He had meant to go straight to Chat terer and tall blm how mean he had been - to spy and so find the new house that cnatterer was trying to keep a secret ana men he had overheard Chatterer telling Tommy Tit the Chlokadee how he had fooled Peter, and how Peter didn't Know where the new house waa at all. Peter had never felt more foolish in his lire. Ko, sir, he never had felt more xooiith in his Ufa Of couraa. If It ' true that he had been fooled and really oiont now where Chatterer's new house waa there waa no use In begging cnaiierera pardon, for he would only make himself still more of a laughing stock than he waa already. And yet the inrag ne naa done waa just as mean as - uw ivuuu vui wuiiienri secret. and be knew that ha would feel better If ha owned up. He scratched his left ear with his right bind foot, and then scratched, his right ear with his left hind foot He pulled his .whiskers, and atlll he. didn't know what to do. He wasistill trying to decide when he heard a great racket in the direction of the Green Forest It was Sammy Jay screaming noisily aa usual, and he was hurrying straight up to the Old Orchard. Of course, Chatterer heard him, and as soon as 8ammy was within hearing he called to him. Sammy hurried over at once. "So here 70u are!" he exclaimed. "I've hunted all through the Oreen Forest for you until I'm quite tuckered out I've got news for you." ."Whatia itr begged Chatterer, dane- iag aooui wun impatience. 4 "lve seen Shadow the "Weasel," re plied Bamroy. v vvuere is nerr. nsKed Chatterer, and uis voice aounaea very anxious. "He's over In the Oreen Forest and he says he is going to stay there until he catches you if he has to stay all win ter," replied Sammy. "Old Red tall the Hawk kept him cooped up in that hollow in the old chestnut tree so long that by the time he did get out he couldn't fol low your tracks at all, and he was In a terrible rage. But -he says he is going . to rind you If he has to hunt througn very tree In the Oreen Forest" Chatterer actually turned pale for. a minute. "You you didn't tell him that I wasn't in the Oreen Forest did you !" he asked, ."Of course I didn't! How eaiild I when I didn't know it myself r retorted Sammy; scornfully. -And and you won't tell him when you see him again, will you, Sammy?" begged Chatterer. "What do you take me for?" demanded Sammy, , angrily. i haven't got any love for you. Chatterer, and you know It. You're a red headed, red coated nuis ancej and I'm not a bit sorry to see you In trouble, but I wouldn't turn my worst enemy over to such a cruel, cold blooded robber as Shadow the Weasel. He would kill me Just as quickly as he would you if he could catch me, which he can't, and I am going to make It my business J S.. a. ,..

The Standard for Balling Powders the World Over is an Absolutely Pure, Cream of Tartar Baiting Powder CREAM OF TARTAR is the crystallized acid of grapes refined to absolute purity and ground to a creamy flour. It is de- clared by physicians the most wholesome of all fruit acids, and has been proved by long andv universal experience the most efficient and satis factory for baking purposes. Highlv refined products of the grape, properly combineu with bicarbonate of socte and a little corn starch to absorb atmospheric moisture, are the sole ingredients of the ideal, high-class, standard baking powder. Many acids have been tried during the last hun- v dred years to find a substitute for the grape cream of tartar which would cost less. In recentvyears alum, which makes a baking powder at a cost of two cents , a pound, has been used because of its trifling cost. Alum, however his been disapproved bv scientific chemists and physicians and is not em ployed by manufacturers of high-class powders. - , Cream of tartar powders being healthful them selves, add to the healthfulness of the food. iy Journals Washington Street Office 354i Washington Street, Near Park (WATERMAN'S PEN AGENCY) .
