Beaumont, spent several Little Glorias for Bedtime BY THOR NTON W BURGESS (t-owrrijcnt. 1WI6. br J. o. Lkva.) PeterJ Rabbit Has a Shock. Whenx you have tried and tried again To do some thing or other. Just try and try and try some more. And never mind the bother. Peter Rabbit was trying to live up to that. Yes. sir, he was. He had tried and tried until he had been al most ready to give up and not try any more, and then he had thought he would try just once more; and so he had kept on trying. Now if it had been something really worth while this would have been very fine of Peter, but the truth is the thing Peter was trying to do wasn't worth while at allf If he succeeded he wouldn't be one bit better off save that his curi osity would he satisfied. Peter is Just like a great many people, spend ing time and a great deal of effort to do something not worth doing at all. Now, please don't laugh when I tell you what It was that Peter was try ing go hard to do. Very likely you have tried Just as hard to do some thing just as foolish. Peter was try ing to. find out Just how many babies Unc" Billy Possum had. Unc' Billy couldn't tell him or wouldn't tell him. Peter wasn't sure which. All he would say was that he had a-plenty and in vite Peter to count them. So at least once every day Peter visited that part oS, the Green Forest where Unc Billy makes his home and tried to count the babies- One day he counted eight and went home satisfied that he had the right lumber. He told everybody he met that Unc Billy had eight babies. The next' day he counted nine. He counted them three times, and each -time he made nine. That day. on his way home, he told everybody that he had been mistaken and that Unc' Billy bad nine babies instead of eight. The ..day after that he counted 10, and this time he kept his tongue still on the Way home, for he didn't want to be laughed at. He was back again the day follow-. ' ing to make sure about the 10, and lo and behold! he couldn't make but eight to save him. You See, they were very lively babies and-ail looked -Just : alike. Some would - be -. scrambling around on the ground and some would be clinging to the coat of their moth er, and some would be in that big pocket in her apron, and as they kept changing places Peter never could be quite sure that he hadn't counted seme of them twice. It was a regular puzzle, and it got so- that when Peter didn't have anything else ' to do he would go over and try to count the .'Possum babies..;' . He started over to the green forest. He started over to the Green Forest one afternoon, Jolly, round, bright Mr. Sun was shining his best, the birds were singing, and there was happiness in the very air. Peter -was happy, so happy that he wanted to sing "himself, but as he couldn't, he had to content himself with Jumping and kicking his long heels together and doing other foolish things. It was so beautiful that it didn't seem possible that there could be sadness or trouble anywhere. Peter had almost reached Unc Billy Possum's hollow tree when In a little open place he came upon a sight that gave him such a shock that he gave a little gasp and caught hi breath hard. There on the ground before him lay old Mrs. Possum and around her -lay all the baby Possums, and so far as he could see every one of them was dead. It was a terrible sight. For a few minutes' Peter sat and 'stared at them with round, frightened eyes. .; All the gladness and ; the brightness of the day was gone. - He hopped a few steps nearer and. rolled one of the babies over. There wasn't a sign of life. Peter looked this way and that way, a great fear growing In his heart. Who could have done thjs dreadful thing?, Then f he started to tip-toe away, big tears rolling . down his cheeks. - days in Portland last week, and Sat urday, May 22, he day was spent in Hood River- at "Beaumont Ranch."
