Piper Is Proud of His Family
By THORNTON W. BURGESS.
(Copyright. llt.sby T. W. Burgeas.)
FIR a long tlm Peter Rabbit sat on tha
bank of th 8 mi ling Pool watching Piper
' the Hyla and hi queer little music bag and
listening to Piper' clear high piping of bis
spring song which soma people always call th
"peeping of the Frogs." I suspect that a great
many of these people think that theaa sweet
since rs of the 8mlling Pool and the marshy
piaoea of the Green Meadows are Just "Frogs."
the same Frogs that later In tha summer they
see poking their beads out of water or diving
ith a splash when they are frightened aa
they sit on the bank of a big lily pad. Peter
used to think so. . He thought so for long
time. In 'set he thought so until at last he
actually saw Piper piping.
Peter never will forget that first time.
"Why you are not a frog at all!" he had ex-
claimed right out.
Piper the Hyla had atopped hi piping In-
stantly. "Well if I'm. not a Frog I'd like to
know what I am!" he snapped Indignantly.
"Why why why you're a Toad. Tou'r
very Ilk Stlckytoes the Tree Toad" stam-
mered Peter.' "I think you must be very close-
ly related to him."
"I am. Most certainly I am related to Sticky-
toes but that doesn t make me a Toad anap
ped Piper more indignantly than before.
. So am I."
H a rain and added. "I beg your pardon. I've
lv heard Pik-kvtoe called tbe Tree Toad and so I supposed he was a Toad.
"That is bonus a lot of people talk without knowing what they are talking
about" grumbled I"per. "Look at me. Look at me. Peter Rabbit. Do I look like a
Tead? Did you ever see a load witn sucn a nice amooin coai as i nave goir
Petcr remembered Old Mr. Toad' warty skin and shook his head. "No." laid be
"I tai't kiioe that I ever did."
"And did you ever see a Toad jump like this?" asked Piper aa ba mad a long
Jump right over to tbe bank at peter a very leer.
"No" replied Peter promptly remembering that Old Mr. Toad always bopped and
never rasda long beautiful Jumps Uks Grandfather Frog.
"Then don't evsr think of me as a Toad" said Piper. "The Hyla a are member
of tb Froc family and not of the Toad family. Tbe Toads are cousins of our and
very nice people but we are rather proud of being Frogs. So when people hear ua
Hyla singing nnd say the Frog are peeping.' they are selling tbe truth but at the
same time most of them think we are the Leopard Frog or tbe Green Frog the
Frags they are used to stems. Those rrog can t pipe ine way we do. No air!
W belong to the jroar family but we are toe riyla Drancn or It and mighty proud
of It "
"If you please Ilper I want to ask you something but I'm afraid yon might not

"What 1 it?" demanded liner. "What Is It? I promise not to enlnd."
"Well." said Peler in a hesitating way "I want to know ifyou are full grown?"
Piper chuckled. "You were afraid I wouldn't ilk it because you think I am little
br- Peter nodded. - 1
; "Don't let that worry yota. Peter." continued Piper. "Tea rm full grown. I'm
as big as I ever will be and I wouldn't be any bigger if I could. It is a lot easier
for little folks to keep out of right than for big ones to. No sir being little doesn't

There is scarcely any fate more to be

ties than that of becoming immersed in

Fortunately thla danger luva oeen es
caped by the rich young ruler. Like the
young man woo la neir to America

ceptance of the teachings of Jesus can. A
revival of pur Christianity would do
to remove the cause of d resent
popular unrest than all other agencies
combined.
A TIQMT SQUEEZE
FOR. THK PLETHORIC. . .
Btartlirur and paradoxical were thai
woraa uttered by Jeus w hen the rich
young man chose wrongly. He declared It
a moral lrnpossjbtlity for a rich man to
enter heaven only th? Illimitable power
of (lod. with whom all things are possible
h declared enabled the rich nian to be-
come a member of the eternal kingdom.
He aald. 'It I easier for a camel to go
through a needle's eye than for a rich
man to enter Into the kingdom of God."
Thla strong figure has been toned down
by some commentators by the statement
that Jesus may hsve meant tffe amalligat
In th city' wall Intended only for pedes-
trians through which a belated camel
could enter only by being stripped of his
burdens and trappings. This Is Ingenuous
but unlikely. Jesus' words probswly
meant Just what their surface significance
Indicated. He wanted to use a striking
figure of Impossibility: he plainly aays
that from moral standpoint the admis-
sion of the man who trusts in riches Into
the heavenly kingdom I Impossible but
"all thing ar possible with God."
Doubtless manv monied neraona tnriav
bar th dlscipiew umasement at this
seemingly extravagant speech of the
teacher who was no demaxosrue. It ta
a common 'belief that money can do any-
irung. - a millionaire may nuy his way
into "society" or into the United Htatea
senate. He may Influence legislature
and even courts. He may find obsequious
