As Peter sat there, he saw the brown head of Jerry Muskrat &8s Jerry swem across the Smiling Pool, and two lines of silver seemed to fol- low him. But, though Peter looked and looked, he couldn't see one of the Quacks. Peter was greatly disappointed. You MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST.

BURGESS see, he had felt sure of finding Mr. and Mrs. Quack anyway. He knew that the rest of the flock might have moved ou, but he was sure that Mr. and Mrs, Quack would not have left the Smiling Pool, for they had said they were going to stay & while. By and by Jerry Musk- rat swam overc near Peter. “Hello, Jerry!” said Feter. yello, your own self!” replied Jerry. t seems to me you've bee . mn;m a lot of time around the Sming lately.” “Oh,” replied Peter, “I like to come over here and see what is going on. By the way, what has become of those Ducks that were here?” ne,” replied Jerry. “So I judged,” replied Peter daly. "Whev‘; dlg tl;e“}: gg and 7vlwre did the; and wl ey go?” ”“Wlit ly minute! Wait & minute, Peter!"” exclaimed Jerry Muskrat. “Don’t agk me questions that are none of my business. I don’t know why they went, nor where they went; and, what is more, I don't care. I can tell you when they went. It was the first thing this morning.” “And haven't they come back once ng the day?” inquired Peter. “No,” replied Jerry, “and I don't think they will come back for a long time. They started off as if they were going somewhere a long way from here. For my part, I'm glad they've gone. There wasn't any peace in the Smiling Pool while they were here.” “Did Mr. and Mrs. Quack go with them?” Peter persisted. “How should I know?” replied Jerry rather crossly. “I don’t keep watch of my neighbors to see what they do. Mr. and Mrs, Quack came with them and I presume they went with them. I know of no reason why they wouldn’t go with them.” “I do,” replied Peter. “What is it?” inquired Jerry. “It is because they decided to stay a while. Mrs. Quack told me so,” replied Peter. “She sald that the others were getting ready to go, but that she and Mr. Quack would stay a while.” “Well, they must have changed their minds,” declared Jerry, “for I haven't seen them all day. Come on in and have a swim.” “No, thank you,” replied Peter. “My feet wet now and that's enough for me.” Jerry swam away and Peter sat there wondering what could have caused Mr. and Mrs. Quack to change their minds, and feeling greatly disappointed. You see, he dearly loves to gossip with Mrs. Quack, (Copyright, 1930.)

ORAIGe April 8, 1865.—Gen. Grant and Gen. Lee have exchanged messages during the last 24 hours upon the subject of the possible surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia. This became known here tonight foilowing the re- ceipt by the War Department of tele- grams from the front. Gen. Grant yesterday sent a message to Gen. Lee, in which he said that “the result of the last week must con~ vince you of the hopelessness of further resistance on the part of the Army of Northern Virginia in this struggle.” “I feel,” Grant added, “that it is so, and regard it as my duty to shift from y | myself the responsibility of any further effusion of blood by asking of you the surrender of that portion of the Con= federate Army known as the Army of Northern Virginia.” Gen. Lee replied that “though not entirely of the opinion you express of the hopelessness of the further re- sistance on the part of the Army of Northern Virginia, I reciprocate your desire to avoid useless effusion of biood, and, therefore, considering your propo- sition, ask the terms you will offer on condition of its surrender.” ‘Today Grant sent word to Lee that as peace was his “first desire” he would insist on only one condition— “that the men surrendered shall be disqualified for taking up arms against the Goverament of the United States until properly exchanged.” He then 'O:r:;:d to meet Lee to arrange definite Replying to this offer, Lee said he “did not intend to propose the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia, but to ask the terms of your proposition.” “To be frank,” continued Lee, “I do not think the emergency has arisen to call for the surrender of this army, but as the restoration of peace should be the sole object of all I desire to know whether your proposals would tend to that end.” Gen. Lee concluded this communica- tion by agreeing to meet Gen. Grant tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock “on the old stage road to Richmond be- tween the picket lines of the two armies” to discuss the question of peace. To this communication Gen. Grant replied that, as he had no authority to “treat on the subject of peace,” the proposed meeting ‘“could lezd to no " He again expressed the hope, however, that further bloodshed might be averted. ‘The opinion prevails in militagy circles here that Gen. Lee will agree to meet Gen. Grant tomorrow to dis- cuss terms of surrender as proposed by the Union commanding general, HIDDEN BEAUTIES | I love to gaze upon the sea, whose rolling billows, wild and free, inspire my soul to soong, but it is hard to get a view, so many signs obstruct the view, as a I proceed along. I cannot see the stormy brine because of an unwieldy sign twelve cubits high or so; a sign ‘whose legends bold declare that Bildad's Balsam for the Hair will make my whiskers grow. I'd rather see the mighty deep than see a signboard big and cheap, however span and spick; I'd like to see the pebbled shore, but I behold it nevermore, the signboards are so thick. They tell me of a lovely glade where many wonders are dis- played by nature’s lavish hand; but when I go.there to behold the dappled leaves of green and gold, I find the view is canned. A lot of signboards adver- tise the Apex brand of seamless ples, the kind that mother made; construct- ed of the finest flour, they will not mold, they will not sour, their glories will not fade.

However much I may desire | some pastry smoking from the fire, the Apex pies are banned: I'll never patron- ize the skate who would with sign- | boards desecrate this fair and happy (land.” T live where tourists come in |droves to see the mountains and the | groves, the ocean and the shore: and everywhere the signboards stand to shut off views of sea and land. and make the pilgrims sore.

But when she began to speak her appealingly beautiful brown eyes were thoughtful. And then I learned this lovely actress feels emphatically there’s one thing has more to do with a girl’s attractiveness than any other charm—a beautiful skin—clear, soft, smooth. How alluring in any girl! How sure to win admiration! And to the screen star, Bebe Daniels earnestly explained, a skin of breath- taking loveliness is really essential! “Only the girl with smooth skin,” she said, “need not fear the relentless eye of the cam- era. For even the cleverest make-up will not suffice under the searching lens of the close-up. “Thatiswhy,” she went onseriously, “ many girls lacking great beauty but possessing lovely skin have passed on the road to fame the woman with perfect features. “Lux Toilet Soap is wonderful for keeping the skin smooth and lovely.” 9 Out of 10 Screen Stars Use Lux Toilet Soap Of the 521 important actresses in Hollywood, including all stars, 511 are devoted to Lux ‘Toilet Soap.

GUNN, Devil's Best Hook. “Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.”—Is,, 1.3. 1t was because Israel did not consider that they did not know God and turned away from Him. Their ignorance and folly: were due to want of consideration. And for the same reason multitudes of people today are ignorant of God and what He purposes concerning them. B::ause they never to_consider, they are wandering in ways of ig- norance and folly. Ibsen, in Peer Gynt, teaches that God meant someth when He made each one of us, and that it is our duty to find out what He did mean. The failure to divine this is the devil's best opportunity for leading us astray. When at the end of his career Peer Gynt, who is the type of & compromis- ing self-seeker, meets the tton- molder, who tells him it is his fate to be cast into the melting-pot, this dia- logue ensues: Peer—One question only: What s it, at bottom, this “being one’s self”? Button-molder—A singular question, most odd in the mouth of & man who just now— Peer—Come, & straightforward an- swer. Button-molder—To be one's self i to slay one’s self. But on you that an- swer is doubtless lost, and, fore, we’ll say, To stand forth everywhere with Master's intention displayed like a signboard. Peer—But sup) & man never has ;:’t;me to know what Master meant with im? Button-molder—He must divine it. Peer—How often are divinings beside the mark—then one is carried ad undas in middle career.
