It was hard to do this sometimes, but afterward he always felt so much better that he often wondered why everybody : didn't do the same way. You see j Peter is alone a great deal, particu- j larly when he is at home in the dear ! Old Briar Patch, and when he » alone somehow that little •mall voice, down inside that seems always i trying to have him do right will j keep talking in spite of all he can ; do if he has been getting into mis- i chief. .

In the world." The doctor. Col. Dwight M. Young of Orlando, Fla., explained that the sic* rate among the troops js jless than 1 per cent. His assistant, Capt. Edxvard K. Mills of Dallas, Texas, added that the sickness 1 rate-in the, United States, excluding epidemics, is double Alaska's.

Order your Rubber Stamps at The; my new house is. all polite or nice to listen to what other people are saying when they don't know that you are around it is very, very necessary for the little people of the Green Forest and Green Meadows to know who is about, so whenever they hear voices they always stop to listen and make Aire who the voices belong to. So Peter stopped and listened. They were the voices of Chatterer and Tommy Tit the Chickadee. Peter smiled and hurried on. There was nothing to be feared from either, and he wanted to get his unpleasant errand finished. As he drew nearer he heard Chatterer laughing fit to kill himself. "Ha, ha, ha! Bot ho, ho!" shouted Chatterer. "He, he, dee, dee, dee!" laughed Tommy Tit. "Must be a great joke; guess I'll hurry and find out what it is, so I can laugh, too," thought Peter, but just that very minute he heard something that made him stop short. It was his own name. "And doesn't Peter know now?" asked Tommy Tit between chuckles. "No," replied Chatterer, wiping tears of laughter from his eyes, "he hasn't any more idea where my new house is than the man in the moon. He thinks he knows, but bless his heart he hasn't any more idea than you have where it is." "But I have more than an idea--I know where it is," replied Tommy Tit. Chatterer stopped laughing. "What's that?" he cried sharply. "I said that I know," replied Tommy Tit, and laughed harder than ever. "Dee, dee, dee! You can't fool me. Chatterer! I'm not Peter Rabbit and you can't fool me! Dee, dee, dee, chickadee!" "How do you know?" demanded Chatterer. "Because I peeped in and saw you in bed before you were awake this/morning," replied Tommy Tit. "Of course, I wouldn't have peeped in if I had known that you had decided to make your home there, and now that I do know I won't be so impolite again." Chatterer edged a little nearer to Tommy. "Say," he begged, "promise me that you won't give my secret away.
