He had failed to find the new home of Jerry Muskrat. Of course, what he was looking for was a house— ust such a house as Jerry had long ad in Smiling Pool.

It usually stands in the water, and the roof comes well above the water. In fact, Jerry's bed room is above the water and has a nice arched 100f. There are no windows and no doors to be seen. The _entrance is from beneath. It is under water. | Jerry has a tunpel which leads right | into” the cellar of his house and then | opens into his bed room. This was the | kind of house that Peter Rabbit had Iooked for along the Laughing Brook, above the Smiling Pool and along_the Laughing Brook below the Smiling Pool. | Now, all the time Peter thought that | Jerry Muskrat didn't know of the search that Peter was making. As a matter of fact, Jerry knew all about it and he chuckled a great deal. “Peter thinks himself very smart,” chuckled Jerry. “He is sure that he| can find 'my house and he is sure that | I don’t know that he is looking for it By and by he'll tell me that I haven't any house. Yes, sir; that §§ what he'll do. He'll come around and tell me that I haven't any house, because he hasn’t been able to find it. It hasn’t entered that funny head of his that there may be_more than one kind of house.” Sure enough, it happened just as Jerry Muskrat expected. The very first time that Peter Rabbit saw Jerry he accused him of being dishonest. Jerry pretended to be indignant, but all the down inside he was laughing. “Peter Rabbit,” said he indignantly, “don’t you dare say that I haven't told the truth! Don't you dare do it! I told you that I have another home. That is the truth, the whole truth and noth- ing but the truth. It's a good home, if do say so. It is & very good home. TN be glad to have you visit me there any time you feel like doing s0.” Jerry's eyes twinkled when he said this, Peter didn't know just what to say. "MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN. New 0ld Toys. One mother says: At Christmas time and birthdays my children are given all sorts of expensive toys by their relatives. All through the year I collect all the things which get broken and put them in a box in the attic. Then at some leisure time I put together the good parts of what I have gathered. One doll's head and another doll's body are combined with a freshly laundered dress from the doll that went completely to smash to make a new doll. ‘Toy villages are mended and all sorts of old broken toys made new.

In fact, any one who visited the Smiling Pool would have to be blind not to gee it. But you know there are houses and houses, Peter, and not all houses are alike. Now, my present house isn't anything at all like my old house. No, sir; it isn't anything at all like that old house—that is, it isn't anything at all like it in looks.

P. Sarah Bernhardt laughed insultingly at the wealthy tanner’s son who asked her to be his wife. Trudeau, the rich but gorfly glovemaker, who also sought her hand, fared even worse. She called him a “fat old pig” and threw the con- ;enu of a glass of champagne in his ace. Thereafter, the girl who was to be- come the pride of the French theater refused dozens of suitors. But she cared nothing then for men. When she first began to play at the Comedie Francaise, she still was heart-free. It was during the anniversary com- memorating the death of Moliere that the incident took place that led Sarah to her first serious romance. As the actors, according to custom, filed past the statue of the great dram- atist to salute it, Sarah’s little sister, Regine, stepped on the train of Mme. Nathalie, one of the oldest actresses of the Comedie. Mme. Nathalie turned and flung the child against a stone pillar so_violently her face was cut. “Beast!” cried the jempestuous Sarah, and, young as she was, she slapped the old actress fiercely on both cheeks. M. Thierry, director of the Comedie, was furious. “Your conduct is disgraceful, made- moiselle,” he told Sarah. “You must apologize to Mme. Nathalie in my pres- ence.” the top of a double boiler.

She had powerful friends who stood by her. But a few weeks later, when Mme. Nathalie influenced to take from her a role she much desired, she angrily resigned. Not long after, with less than a thousand framcs, she ked her trunk and went to_Spain. She was only 18. In Madrid she suddenly developed a greater love for bullfighting than any Spaniard’s.

She contrived to meet him, and, throwing the full strength of her | rare and exotic charm about him, won his love A dinner was given to celebrate their | engagement. All the famous and bizarre characters of the bull ring were on hand. The potent wines of Spain flowed freely, Drinking too much of his favorite | Malaga, Lopez grew beastly drunk and | attempted maudlin caresses in full view | of the guests. Sarah suddenly arose from her seat and pushed her lover away from her. “You are making a beast of yourself,” she said. She left the dinner party, returned to her hotel, borrowed money from the manager, who had known her father, and set off for Paris. . Spain did not see her again for 11| years, and Juan Lopez never.

A Sermon for Today BY REV. JOHN R. GUNN, Strength of Joy. “The joy of the Lord is your strength.”—Neh. viil.10. All joy is strengthening. . We know this from practicaly experience. We know that, while sorrow depresses and weakens us, joy lifts us up and gives us_vigor. In a cheerful, confident mood we can | do that which is quite impossible to us | when in a downcast, pessimistic mood. Go to your work with a dejected and fearful heart and your work will be task in a bouyant, hopeful spirit and you are likely to do it well. If all joy is strengthening, how much | more the joy of the Lord! What is the joy of the Lord? It is which is therefore independent of out- ward circumstances. Scttled in a per- oy. If the lesser joys of life strengthen | us, how much more are we strengthened | those three “C's.” They are de) by this calm, settled from trust in God. If we have the joy of the Lord in our hearts, what ~strength is ours! | What strength we have for facing temp- tation! What strength we " have for bearing our griefs and sorrows! What strength we have for enduring losses and_disappointments! What strength we have for all the trials and conflicts | of lifel What strength we have for | work and service! | Show me a man who knows what it means to trust God, unwaveringly and unfalteringly, and ~who knows the meaning of that gladness and cheerful- ness which springs from such trust, and I will show you a strong man. The joy of the Lord makes one strong with an irresistible strength.
