Paer asked qucrul , O ously across the breakfast table, "ain't they anything in the world but egjrsf "Why, T. Paer!" Ma answered, casting a surprised and reproovlngr glance over her spectacles at the complainant. "Thirty years ago you wouldn't have talked like that." ... : , Mehbe not." T. Paer grumbled, "but they ain't no use v goadln' a man three times aday." ; "Kgirs is good for you," Ma argued. All the doctors give 'em to sick people." "But I ain't sick of nothin' but too much eggs." T. Paer objected. "Any way." he persisted, "you might do some thing besides scramble 'em. "But." Ma objected, "these are water- glasced ones." '.! . i - "What's that got to do with it?" T. , Taer conirfrided. "Can't you bolt 'em for a chang-sTi "Oo you want to get me killed V Ma asked. "I tried to and they blew up like lomba." "Huh!" T. Paer grunted. ' "Why don't you save 'em till the Fourth of July and 1 give 'em to Bill to celebrate with?" . "Vou know," Ma' reminded her help mate, "that they cost thirty-six cents a Vzen when . we put 'era. down last , spring.", ,..':.:.' ... "Good guns!" T, Paer exploded, "If , you've., had' 'em hid around here that long, why ain't you fed 'em to me by de ' grees?" "Well." Ma argued, defensively, "eggs was worth almost a dollar all winter." "What's that got to do with these things?" T. Paer demanded. "You know as well as I do," Ma an swered stiffly, "that I try to save our money every way I can." c "I know," T. ; Paer admitted,- "but what's that got to do with these eggs?" "We couldn't afford to eat eggs when they was a dollar a doxen," Ma answered with finality. - jr . "You're a" T. Paer commenced. "You better be careful," Ma warned. "You ain't in any frame of mind to say what you think I am." j t "peach of a Xlgurer,' T. Paer fin ished. . . .. : ' ! f : "We'd be tn the poorhouse If I wasn't," Ma suppiementea. -ou just mraw money. around like It was made of Iron." "Not much of it," T. Paer countered; "not when you put it all in waterglass," "Say, Ma," T. Paer asked, after he had eaten for a moment in silence, "when's Easter?" ; f'- "Why should I know?" Ma asked, sar castically, "I ain't going to have an Eas- le, KAnnt " . I i . v ' "You never wore the one I bought you up at Pendleton last year," T. Paer re minded her. Ma just looked at him and "Mnw it dldn't'took so bad. T. Paer Am.tAm.A " When VOU DUt it "You know very well," Ma said, re lapsing Into the j vernacular, "that hat made me look like a chicken." -It was a Easter bonnet." T. Paer icrrinned. "But. say." he insisted, "let s. Tglve a Easter party," "What forr' Ma asked. Buspicuuijr. Why." T. Paer suggested, hopefully, "we could get rid of all tnem eggs." i "I told you," Ma snapped, "you can t boil 'era unless they blow up." 1 "You could scramble 'em," T. Paer In sisted, gently. "I wouldn't like to see you give a hard-boiled party, anyway." "Nobody ever heard of scrambled eggs on Easter," Ma objected. "Tobodvd ever have got any place un less they had busted a lot of precedents," TV Paer argued, j "Civilization's built on em.".. , ! 1; !-- "Maybe," Ma said, as she gathered up the dishes ; "but my eggs ain't prece dents !" i s t- thing then. The question is, what Are we going to do about It?' We ought to drive her out of the Oreen Forest." . Everybody laughed. The Idea. 6f timid little Whitefoot doing anything to drive great big Mrs. Bear out of the Green Forest waa funny: Shrewd, crafty Ked dy Fox was the first to stop laughing. Of course," said he slowly, "we can't drive her out, but if we really don't want her here we might frighten her out. I don't say It can be done, but 1t might be done. She wasn't invited here by any of us. . I don't know of anyone but. Buster who wants her here. We might call a meeting and talk it over." (Copyright. 12I.' by T, W.

Mike b'Dowd, with an earnestness worthy of a paid witness In a divorce suit, is telling New York how welf he has taken care of himself so as to' be fit for the chance to knock the middleweight title loose from Johnny Wilson on the night of Saint Patrick's day, but a trained wit ness, Mike forgets some things. A few weeks ago there waa a para graph in all the New York papers about Mike. - It waa sporting news. Mike had been In a row with s policeman over in Brooklyn. Mike had hauled off and dispersed that cop over a large ex panse of Brooklyn sidewalk. - In court Mike admitted as much and his only excuse was that he had absorbed Quite a snort of Inspiration that night. - If Mike forgets that incident, there are some who doa't Including the cop. Perhaps It was just an "occasional" party that' wouldn't take much steam out of a tough young fighter such as Mike O'Dowd. However, it raises a reasonable doubt and anyone interested in a mild speculation on the outcome of Thursday's fight is at liberty to assume that Mike haa other "occasions." A lot of good "prise fighters and ball players, too, haye gone gay, la this big town. " ' " " ' Johnny Witeori also may have had his internal ' alcohol ' rubs, but be didn't get them into-print, bo nobody knows what, if -any, occasions" have bright ened his ; life since he won the cham pionship. On the known facts, there fore, Wilson's training has been better than Mike's. Fifteen rounds of fighting at the pace Mike always sets for him self is enough to show whether-a-man has burned out his interior fittings. Wilson -is a 7 to 5. bet In "New York for three reasons. ; First, : Wilson Is champion.' - - Second, ; he plainly beat O'Dowd once before, as all the ringside accounts - showed. - CDowfl'i denials to the contrary notwithstanding. ;.Thtrd, Wilson has sold thousands of people on his propositions: "Maybe a lot of guy can Uke me, but I can lick O'Dowd.'

Burgess 1 Ynu'll finrl. when ili u said and done. That goMip haa respect fornone. - - : Peter Rabbit. (V COURSE, the news that there was VT a strange Bear in the Green Forest , soon spread. Peter RabbityCouldn't have kept his tongue still to save him. If he had wanted to, and he didn't wanjf to. It isn't often that Peter - has stich a chance to spread real news, and he -. made the most of this. He was bo eager to be the first ' to carry the news d through the Green Forest and over the Green Meadows that he almost forgot to eat.' and when Peter forgets to eat he is very much excited, indeed.. At first no one would believe Peter. Blacky the Crow told him that he must . have dreamed it. But no sooner had Peter started on : to tell someone else than Blacky headed straight for that part of the Green Forest where Peter ' had seen Mrs. Bus ten. So did Beddy jFox ;and OM Man Coyote and all the others who1-could. They didn't believe " 'J'eter.vbntthey panted tp be sure;- : j Of course, they found that Peter told j the truth and at -once there was the greatest excitement among .the Httle people - of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows. There hadn't been such ; excitement since the day Buster Bear himself had been discovered there. And "how . the tongues , did fly! Of course, Peter told all that he had learned from Buster, how the stranger Was really t Mrs. -Buster, and that despite the brown coat she was really a Black Bear. The others found this just as hard to be lieve as had Peter. "1 don't believe it," declared Sammy Jay. "I don't believe it. i Why should a Black Bear wear a brown coat? I don't believe it. Do you. Beddy Fox?" Reddy looked up at Sammy Jay and grinned. "I won't say r believe it, he replied. "But I won't say I don't ber lleve .' It. You see It Is quite possible that Buster told the truth." ' - ; "No, 1 don't see !" retorted Sammy Jay obstinately. "You are a Red Fox. Did you ever see a brown Red Fox?" "Sai" replied Reddy, "no, 1 can't say that I ever did. But have you forgotten . that son of mine who had a black coat? Blacky the Crow told him that he must have dreamed It. If there can be ' a black Bed Fox, why not a brown Blaclt Bear? Sammy looked i juBt as - Jie . felt fool ish. He had forgotten all about that mack-coated son; or? iteaay's. "Tnat's so," said he slowly. : j "Well, perhaps It is true that , Mrs. Buster is a Black Bear. If she is. X don't think much of her taste. Her coat isn't nearly as handsome as Buster's. Blacky the Crow nodded in approval. "You said something then, Sammy, said he. "What anyone would - swap black for brown; for j is - beyond me." "Probably she! didn't have anything to say about it," remarked Reddy Fox dryly. ; "I've noticed that most folks take what - Old ; Mother Nature gives them and say nothing. .The mainthing is Mrs. Buster is a Bear and that makes two Bears here j in the Green Forest. That is one toot many, to my . way of thanking." ? ' Timid little Whitefoot the Wood Mouse, peeping out of a little hole in a tall stump,, nodded 'his head in agreement. "You Bald something then. Reddy Fox, he squeaked. - "You certainly said some- 11 if 1!' bAZELWOOD i Hazelwood Candies St. Patrick's Day SPECIALS !; Pistachio Buttercups .. Spearmint Opera Sticks. Lime Sticks .. . .........
