Bedtime Stories "Well-Meaning Friends. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Of free advice you'll always find ds have much {n mind. ‘Well meaning frien I_P"" S AUGHT by a leg between two stones in the old wall C along the edge of the Old Or- chard, and so held a prisoner, Peter Rabbit was in just about as bad & situation as he had ever been in. It was bad enough to be held by those stones, for they had hurt that leg gorely. It was numb now, but in a way that made it seem all the worse. Just the thought that he was a pris- oner was terrifying, but a worse thought was that of what would hap- pen should certain hungry neighbors discover the trouble he was in. So far none had, but Peter felt that it was only a matter of time when one or another would find him. Those who had discovered him were gome of his friends and, as is always | the case with friends, they were eager to offer advice. Striped Chipmunk and Johnny Chuck both advised that he twist his leg ofi if he couldn’t get| free in any other way, which, you must admit, was rather dreadful ad- | vice. Somehow Peter couldn’t follow that. He didn't have quite courage enough. He knew that it was done| sometimes by those unfortunate | | enough to be caught in dreadful steel traps. He could remember seeing & member of Jerry Muskrat's family | who had lost a leg in that way. He| remembered one of Bobby Coon's rel- atives and a certain old Skunk, both of whom traveled on three legs, be- | cause they had been caught in those dreadful steel traps and Lad twisted or gnawed off each a leg. Sammy Jay came along and his sharp | eves soon discovered what had hap- pened to Peter. Now, Sammy has a sharp tongue and he is much given to saying sharp things and sometimes | unkind things to tease or torment his | neighbors. This time, however, he did | nothing of the kind. He saw what a | serious situation Peter was in, and he | was full of sympathy. *“Too bad, Peter.” said he. “Too bad. I certainly am sorry. Take my advice | end keep quiet. Don't try to pull the | leg out: it will only make it worse. | Keep quiet, and perhaps Farmer | Brown's Boy will come along. Perhaps | I can bring him over here.” “But supposing he doesn't come slong. What will I do then? Or sup- posing Reddy Fox comes along first, or Shadow the Weasel, or one of the | Hawk family. What will I do?” | “There’s nothing you can do,” re- Nature’s plied Sammy, “so that’s why I advice you to sit still and not struggle and not pull. You've done that, and you can’t get free. If you keep on doing that and one of those you have men- tioned happens along you will attract attention. If you sit perfectly still they may not see you. So, all things considered, my advice is to sit still. You may be sure that if your friends | can do anything for you they will.” | This was good advice. Peter knew 1“' was good advice, although, as is so | often the case with good advice, it | was difficult to follow. Jenny Wren happened along just in time to over- hear what Sammy had sald. “Tut, tut, tut, tut!” exclaimed Jenny. “What under the sun is the matter “TOO BAD, PETER.” with you, Peter Rabbit? SAID HE. What are you needing any such advice as that | for?” Peter explained what had happened. Jenny flew down on the very stone | that was holding Peter and her bright little eyes saw at once how hopelessly Peter was caught. “Tut, tut, tut, tut!” she exclaimed again, but not in her usual scolding manner. “Tut, tut, tut, tut, Peter! You do as Sammy Jay advised you to. I don't often trust Sammy Jay, but this time he has given you good advice.” The word was soon passed around among the other feathered folk of the Old Orchard and Peter had many vis- itors. All were sorry for him and all freely offered advice. Some advised one thing and some advised another, and most of the advice was worthless, as is likely to be the case in such a situation.

BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. hair mattress this native of Tibet wears. - His thick coat | amply protects him from the fearful cold he seems to enjoy, for he lives on the plateaus at an elevation | from 14,000 to 25000 feet above sea | level. | The yak, though given to wander- lust, prefers to homestead northward as far as the Kuen-Luen range and eastward into the Chinese Province of Kansu, as well as toward the west- ward to the eastern parts of Ladah. The most of his territory is dreary and forlorn looking, but the yak is| &pparently happy. ' In the Summer the animals go as high up into the mountains as they By ean, to avoid the heat, for they seem | to revel in the deep snows, icy ravines and places impasasble to us. { It is because of their sure-footed- ness that these creature s are so high- | 1y valued as beasts of burden. They | are dependable, have almost unlim- ited endurance, and their services are of utmost importance to their owners. “The only objection to the yaks is their determination not to eat corn. and Jong journeys must often be taken in order to find food for them. ! This animal is the link between the ox and the bison. Yon cannot mis- | take him for any other creature, as his hairy coat is unsurpassed by other | enimals in his class. | At heart they do not seem to be very sociable. The cows and their | young may be seen im small groups | during the Summer, where they find | the tender grass growing along the streams, of which they are extremely fond. But the bulls either move about alone or with a chosen few compan- | ons. | Though their sense of sight is very | poor, their sense of smell makes up | for the lack and the yaks do all their | grazing at night. In the morning | they seek a high place to sleep. Be- | cause they wander about in every di- rection it is dangerous to stalk them, as the wind, shifting about, carries the scent of your clothes to them at once. Yaks are fearless and do not hesitate to investigate anything un- usual on their domain. Their only form of speech seems to be grunting. Whether it is because of a sense of injustice for being forced to bear great loads up perilous moun- tain sides, or whether it is a form of conversation one cannot say with cer- tainty, for even when they are the most contanted they grunt. ‘When you visit a Tibetan lamasery or monastery, be sure and look for the streams of yak tails swinging from high poles at the entrance grounds. They are in demand as fly swatters, too. They are rather fancy looking, with twisted black horn handles, and | make a lovely contrast to the white | hair. In China these decorative tail pieces are dyed red and fastened to the roofs of Summer residences, like gay Pennants. The next time you see a solemn- Insurance Exclusively For 25 Years M.

Peatock THIS surname is derived from the well-known fowl and, no doubt, was given to the family because of | their pride. “As proud as a peacock” is a saying which has come down through the centuries as representing pride in the nth degree. i There were several “first settlers” in America bearing the name of Pea- | cock. In New England we find that | John Peacock was living in New | Haven, Conn,, in 1638. He moved to where in 1670 he died. In 1639 Rich- ard Peacock was & freeman in Rox- | bury, Mass., where he followed the trade of glazier. William Peacock | settled in Roxbury. Among the settlers in Pennsylvania | bearing this name we find Thomas, William and John. Thomas settled in Reading, John established his home | County, while Willlam re- sided in Philadelphia.
