THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, ,: PORTLAND, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 17, 1914. s Little vytorioy forBedtinie ftYTM9KNTON V BUROE.S5 Splendid , Peter Rabbit lias i Thoaght. Peter Rabbit squatted Inslda a hol low log beside the Laug-hlnr Brook in tha Graan Forest and a hunter with a tarrlbls ton sat on the outside of tha ama log;. Tha hunter didn't know that Peter was instda, bat Feter knew that tha hunter was outside. Some times Peter would chuckle a silent little chuckle to himself at tha thought f how that hunter aver once dreamed that ha was so near, and 'then again little cold shivers of, fear ran over Peter at the thought of what might happen If that . hunter should take H Into his head to look inside tha hollow log. ' - ' -'. ' . No as they st there both were thinking and their thoughts were Just as different as thoughts very well could be, Tha hunter was" thinking mat ii was (real i un 10 uuni mi n forest people ' and try to kill them with with his terrible gun, while Peter was thinking that It was awful, sim ply awful to be hunted and feel that at any minute he might make his very laat Jump. "It only ha could ba hunted a while himself perhaps he would understand, and If ha understood I'm sure ha would throw away that terrible gun," thought Peter, , Somehow Peter couldn't get . that Idea out of his bead, and having plenty of time for thinking as ha squatted inside tha hollow log waiting for tha bunter to go away, he kept turning it over and over In his mind trying to think of soma way In which that hunt er could ba taught Just what it means to be bunted.1 "Tha trouble la he Isn't afraid of any of us even when he hasn't got his terrible gun with him," thought Peter and wrinkled his brows. "He's a stranger here, and somehow I don't believe Farmer Brown's Boy would let him hunt here If he knew Farmer Brown's Boy hasn't been out once tnis fall with his terrible gun, and and, wu. r think he doesn't want to hunt us any more. I guess he found out how It feels to be afraid that time be met Buster Bear." , , And right then all of a sudden a splendid thought popped into Peter's funny little head. It was so splendid ! that it made him jump ana eiarc xo sit up - because he can think better when he sits up. . But he didn't sit up this time. Oh my, no! Of course not i Tou see. he had forgotten where he I was, and when he started to sit up he bumped his head mo hard that It made '. the tears come. 11a wanted to squeal. and public speaking atTaciflo univer sity.

The hunter didn't' know that Peter was Inside, but Peter knew that the hunter was outside. but he didn't. Instead he clapped a hand over his mouth and held his breath. Tou see, he remembered Just in time that hunter sitting on the log. Presently he heard, the hunter get up and whistle to his dog, who all the time bad been trying to find Peter's tracks and couldn't, because Peter had walked in the water at the edge of the Laughing Brook before he crawled into the hollow log, and you know wa ter Is one of theabest friends of all the little people who leave scent In their tracks aa Peter does, and Reddy Fox, and Bobby Coon, and Unc Billy Pos sum do. .Water carries the scent away. Peter peeped out of the hollow log. The hunter had given up and was go ing away to hunt for some one else. Peter gave a great sigh of relief. Then he once more 'settled down to wait until be was quite sure that dog was in another part of the Green Forest, or had left it altogether. And while be waited he kept turning over and over in i his mind that splendid thought. What was it? Why, It was to get Buster Bear . to frighten the hunter as . he had - once frightened Farmer Brown's Boy.S Of course the hunter would be afraid and would run away, and of course Buster Bear would chase him. Then , the hunter would know how it feels to be hunted. Wasn't that a splendid idea? Next storyi "Peter Rabbit Prepares to Make a Call." FRATERNAL NOTES Artisans Proud of Letter Prom State Insurance Commissioner. Flaa Za Commeadea. ' ' 3. TV. Ferguson, state Insurance com missioner, has written a letter to IL 8.

B. Tucker, orator; program, a 1 good social time and a dance. If you are a native of Colo rado, or have at any time been a resi dent and citizen of Colorado, you are invited to bring your folks and have a good time, Portland Chapter Elects Officers. Portland Chapter No. 8, Royal Arch Masons, held a well attended meeting last evening at which tha following officers were elected and Installed: w. P. Andrus, high priest; Ralph Robin son, king; John K. Kollock, scribe; D. O. Tomaslni, treasurer; James A. Al len, secretary (re-elected); A. L. An- drus, captain of host; B. F. Boyden, principal sojourner; J. E. Buckingham, royal arch captain; Archie Nicholson, maater third -veil; Julian Coblentz, maater flrat veil; P. P. Kil bourne, sen tinel. The officers were Installed by Clyde Evans, acting grand high priest of Oregon, and W. C. Saunders, acting marshal. In recognition of his services during his term of office, the retiring high priest. A. J. Stiles, waS presented with the Jeweled badge of his office. An elaborate banquet was spread at which fraternal and Ma sonic toasts were responded to by sev eral of the. most eminent members Of the R. A. M. There were an unusual number of members present who had occupied prominent positions in the Only Oas Ztong keel. None of the. three picture theatres that change on ; Wednesday : brought to light anything of unusual Interest or quality. The Columbia is showing the only long feature, a six part ver slon of Sir ' Gilbert Parker's "The Seats of the Mighty," with Lionel Barrymore In the leading -ole. It Is a costume piece of the colonial type and time when Quebec waa the -seat of the mighty. Mr. Barrymore ap pears to advantage as the manly and romantic figure of Captain Moray of Virginia. The settings, costumes and customs of the period are lavishly displayed In France, England and America. A rood cast supports Mr, Barrymore and there are some very interesting scenes, The exterior scenes are clear and effective In selection, but almost all of the Interiors are marred by mechanical defects In light ing and photography. The bill la com pleted with a Lubln comedy, "He Made His Mark Film Show Wedding Scene. The National Is offering a blended program with its featurer "The Hate That Withers." There , Is a pretty wedding scene and some good ex- terlors, and although it is well enough acted, the picture is only fairly inter- eating because , of its . story. "Pure Gold" Is a Vitagraph story of a good woman who finds herself stranded in a mining camp and a miner who gives her refuge. It Is well done and has strength enough to hold interest. "The Flirt," with William Wadsworth, Is a better comedy than the Edison com pany generally turns out. "The Test" is a Selig sea story with Bessie Eyton and Thomas Santschl in the leading roles. The sailor man wins out over the rich young man,-who proves to be a coward at the crucial moment. Helen Holmes appears as the heroine lm an other of the Kalem railroad dramas, The Capture of the Flying Freight.' The story bas to do with a small train robbery. Miss Holmes captures the robber single handed and then leaps from the moving train. Good Picture at the unset. Strange as It may seem, a Keystone, Sea Nymphs," is the best pioture of the Sunset. Mabel Norm and and Roa coe Arbuckle are the 1 prime factors and their principal costumes are bath ing suits. The picture has been taken In Avalon harbor, Catalina islands. and gives Miss Normand the first op portunity In a long time to display ber swimming and diving ability. One Of the tame seala. a feature of the harbor, appears in the picture and al lows -Miss Normand to feed him fish. "A Political Feud" is a Domino story of a rich boy and a poor boy and how the latter wins out over the former through merit. "The Girl Question' is an American .drama with Vivian Rich and William Garwood. It prove interesting. "Her Younger Sister" la a drama of the affections produced by the Beauty company. It is well played. as are all of the Beauty releases. Odd Tallows Entertain. Last evening Odd Fellows' hall at First and Alder was crowded by the joint meeting of Minerva and Hassalo lodges with Samaritan lodge to wit neaai the conferring of the first degree upon a class of candidates. The work George Roseman, chaplain; L. A. Bath, I was put on by the degree team ef Sa- gulde. A large attendance was in evidence.. Rev. Frank Gorman made an eloquent fraternal speech.

The young girl in question was living at home and had the use of her father's buggy ana horse to take ber from one group of students to the next. But a girl "could probably arrange for board and lodging and the necessary rig from one of the families in the group and still make enough to pay her.
