BURGESS “JENNY WREN’S BIG COUSIN ETER RABBIT never will forget his surprise when Jenny Wren asked ‘him one morning if he had seen anything of her big cousin. Peter hesitated. As a mutter of fact he couldn’t -think of any big cousin of Jenny Wren. All the cousins Peter knew ‘anything about were very near Jenny’s own size. : Now Jenny Wren is one of the most impatient .small persons in the world. “Well, well, well, Peter, have: you lost your tongue?” she chattered, “Can’t you answer a simple question without taking aH day about it? Have you seen anything of my big cousin?” “You nmeedn’t be so cross about it if I am slow,” replied Peter, “I’m just “Il Saw Him Only Yesterday on the Edge of the Old Pasture.” trying to think who your big cousin is. I guess, to be quite honest, I don’t know him.” “Don’t know him! Don’t know him!” sputtered Jenny. “Of course you’ know him. You can’t help but know him. I mean Brownie the Thrasher.” In his surprise, Peter fairly jumped right off the ground. “What’s that?” he exclaimed, “Since when was Brownie the Thrasher related to the Wren family?” “Ever since there have been any Wrens and Thrashers,’ retorted Jenny. “Brownie belongs to one branch of the family and I belong to another, and that makes him my second cousin. It certainly is surprising how little some folks. know.” “But I have always supposed he belonged to the Thrush family,” protested Peter, “He certainly looks like a Thrush.” “Looking like one doesn’t. make him one,” snapped Jenny. “By this time you ought to have learned that you never can judge anybody just by looks. It always makes me provoked to hear Brownie called the Brown Thrush, There isn’t a drop of Thrush blood in him. But you haven’t answered my question yet, Peter Rabbit; I want to know if he’s here yet.” “Yes,” said Peter. “I saw him yesterday on the edge of the Old PasISLANO OF MARAIJO VALP. at She mouth of the great Amazon River, lies WNU Bervice ture. He was fussing about in the bushes and on the ground and jerking that long tail of his up and down and sidewise as if he didn’t know what to do with it. I’ve never seen anybody twitch his tail around the way he does.” Jenny Wren giggled. ‘‘That’s just like him,” said she. “It is because he thrashes his tail around so much that he is called.the Thrasher. I suppose he was wearing his new spring suit.” “I don’t know whether or not it was new, but it was mighty good looking,” replied Peter. “I just love that beautiful reddish brown of his back, wings and tail, and it certainly does set off his white and buff waistcoat with its dark streaks and spots. You must admit that anyone seeing him dressed so like the Thrushes is to be excused for thinking him a Thrush.” ©, T. W. Burgess.—WNU Service. QUESTION BOX By ED WYNN.. _ The Perfect Fool Dear Mr, Wynn: I am a poor woman and sell doughnuts for a living. I charge three cents apiece for the doughnuts, One man says he will buy a dozen doughnuts every day if I will take off one cent from the price of each doughnut, for the hole. I can’t afford to sell them cheaper than three cents and would like him for a customer. What shall I do? Sincerely, OLIVE OYLE. Answer—The next time you see him tell him you have decided to give him one cent for each hole when he returns the holes, Dear Mr. Wynn: I am in love with a young lady and I thought she loved me too. Last night I called at her house and her sister told me-my girl was not at home. I happened to look on the rack in the hall and I saw my girl’s hat hanging there, so I knew she was home. I never want to see her again. Am’ I right? Sincerely, BOB O. LINK. Answer—You are acting silly, Because you saw her hat in the hall you say she must have been home, In that ease, if you saw your girl’s stockings in the wash you’d swear she was in the laundry. Dear Mr. Wynn: My father told me that a “window” and a “widow” were just the same. How can that be? Yours truly, FRANK LEE SPEAKING. Answer—Your father’s advice is very good. He means that when you get near either of them, you want to look out,. Dear Mr. Wynn: A girl friend of mine was married -yesterday and of course I went to the wedding. Some relatives brought their baby to the wedding and all during the ceremony the baby cried. It seemed to spoil the whole thing. I expect to be married very shortly and I want to know how I can keep the guests from bringing babies to the wedding.’ What shall I do? Sincerely, N. GAGED. Answer—When you have your wedding invitations printed just have printed in one corner of the invitations—“‘No Babies Expected.” @, the Associated Newspapers WNU Service Many Tongues Broadcast Czechoslovakia believes its broadcasting stations lead the world in the number of languages broadcast.

Each insect stands on a leaf and slowly and carefully cuts out an almost perfect circle, and back against they march in procession, each with the circle of leaf over the head like an umbrella. Back to their home, the ants. masticate the leaf pieces and place them in prepared beds. A peculiar fungus soon grows up in these gardens upon which the ants feed, seemingly their only food.
