Joy Among tiie Old Corn Stalks.
The happiest place in all th world
You know it; ot course you do.
It's the place called home your very
own.
Now haven't I told yon true?
Of course I have. There Isn't any
place like it for pure joy and happiness.-There
may be much- finer homes
than your own, but right down, deep J n
your heart you know perfectly well
that not even In the finest of them
there is so much real happiness as In
your own dear home not for you, any
way. Now, the home of Danny Mead
ow Mouse wasn't much to look at. It
was just a little round house of coin
, sliuckK and grass in the middle of a
pile of old corn stalks on the edge of
.Karnfer Brown's'corn field, tout to Lit
tle Mite, the lost baby of Danny,
whom Farmer Brown's boy had brought
back again without knowing it, it was
"the most beautiful place in all the
Oreat "World.
As he scrambled down among the
cornstalks to the little path that led
to the little round doorway he called
at the top of his funny little squeaky
voire, "Here I am! Here I am!. I've
-omo home. I've come home!"
Out tumbled his brother and
two sisters, Teeny, Weeny - and
Mldsret, and crowded around him and
rubbed noses with him, which is the
Meadow Mouse way of kissing, and
told him how glad they Were to se
him and anked him if lie really had
een the Great World and what it was
)ik. all talking at once and making
such a squeaking as that pile of old
cornstalks never had known before.
l.lttle Mite wondered why his father
and mother didn't come out to greet
him and as soon as he got a chance
he asked where, they were.
"They arecout hunting for you," re
plied Teeny. "They've been out. every
clay since you went away, and we've
ail been so miserable and lonesome
Yon won't run away again, will you
MHe?"
"Never!" declared Mite. "Never so
long as I live!" And he really meant It
"Won't this be the best surprise for
father and mother that ever , was?"
cried Midget," daneing about excitedly
"Yirtl go inside the house. Mite, and
we'll play outside. Then when they
go In they'll find you there. Oh, won't
it he fun?"
So when they thought it was ahout
thne for Danny and Nanny Meadow
MoU.se to return Mite went inside. He
wondered what they would say to him
and what they would do to punish him,
for he knew that he deserved to be
punished. You see, if he hadn't dis
obeyed in the first plaoe he wouldn't
have been lost. But he was so glad
to be home attain that "he didn't mind
the thought of punishment. Nothing
could be worse than what he' had been
through.
Danny and Nanny were late In get-
aywlt
'Here I am!
come home!
Here I am! I've
I've (toma home!"
ting home, and they were so tired and
footsore with their long search for
Little Mite, and so sad that it made
Mite's heart ache as he peeped out at
them. It really was punishment enough
just to see them and to feel that he
w$s the cause of it. They noticed
right away that Teeny, Weeny and
MJdget seemed very much excited.
Danny stopped to ask the reason," but
Nanny hurried into the house. Such a
squeal as there was then! Danny
rushed in to see what had happened
and then well, I don't "believe .that
there ever was such a time before in
a Meadow -Mouse home. Natiny was
crying and laughing at the' dame time,
Mite was crying a little, and even
Danny had to blow his nose very hard
and wipe his eyes.
,Of course Mite expected a scolding
at least, but he didn't get it, No, sir,
he didn't et It. You see." when he
told all about his terrible adven
tures his father and mother thought
he had been punished enough. Instead
of scolding they prepared a breat feast.
and while they ate it Mite told all over
again about his adventures. Everybody
asked Questions arfd there was such a
happy squeaking and chattering down
in that pile of old cornstalks that
finally Danny had to put a stop to It
for fear that Reddy Fox or Old Man
Covote might be prowling around and
hear it. And when at last they all
went to befl in the little house there
was great joy among the old corn
etalks, for everything had come out
right, just as Peter Rabbit had told
Danny Meadow Mouse it would.

Another musical act that scored
a triumph was Amedio, the acc6r

character impersonations that were
mighty clever, including the one of

a special drop and go big. A splendid
opening act is the unicycle work of

the act would be stronger without it.
The orchestra and Mutual Weekly of

Comedy Is Delightful.
A really delightful comedy Is "The

Grath, with Max Figman in his or

at the Peoples for the entire week.
The production is by Jesse L. Lasky,
and although the lighting at times
is not up to the Lasky standard the
remainder of the. picture, is most ex
cellent. It begins on the plains with Lieu
tenant Bob about to start out in com

Bob's ride for help and the rescue
