Demos Reorganize. With the charges against Peterson and former Governor Davis being pushed toward prosecution, the demo eratio party in Kansas has begun taking steps for a complete reorgan isation. ‘• Peterson, often referred to as the power behind the throne in the Davis administration, had been looked upon Ps the party leader during the last two years by virtue of his intimacy With the governor. It was he who sponsored the movement to have Governor Davis named democratic nominee for president. Peterson managed the governor's campaign at (he New York convention, and his efforts to get cohtrol of the Kansas Relegation there kept the sunflower erowd there in almost constant tur Ipoil. ! Peterson's Influence with the gov ernor became so great that the ex pression "the Peterson route" became g famoua one throughout Kansas among seekers after favors or patron tjli- It meant that persons who de sired favors from Governor Davis fleet would have to "sea Peterson.’’ Enemies Blamed. Peterson, however, declares like Governor Davis that the charges eguinat him are the work of his political enemies and that he will ex pose the real wrongdoers in the in yestigation.

You should have seen the twinkle In [< Then he spread his bread wing* and silently flew away. Little Joe'a eyes as he listened. "would you really like to know what became of your fish?" Little Joe ask ed. "Off course T would," replied the young Otter, "But I don't believe any body will ever find out." "Don't you think I could find out if I went over there?" asked Little Joe. The young Otter shook his head very decidedly. "No, I don't," said he, very honestly. "All right son, let's go fishing," replied Little Joe Otter, bis eyes twinkling more than ever. So together they went fishing »nd presently each caught a fish. "Ton take yours over on the bank, but don't stop to eat It. Keep your eye* on this fish of mine,” said Little Joe. The young Otter obediently took his fish over to the bank and than aat down to watch. Little Joe Otter climb ed out on the ice at the place where the young Otter had twice lost his fish before. He laid the fish down on the lee, then plunged into the water and swam ovep to where the young Otter was. Before he got there the young Otter saw a great, broad-wing ed white bird appear from nowhere, pick up that fish on the Ice without stopping and fly away a short dis tance. Then this great bird alighted on the Ice and suddenly he didn't look like a bird at all. He looked Just like a heap of snow. He looked ex actly like the heap of snow that the young Otter had seen over there soveral times before. You should have seen the eyes of that young Otter pop out of his head He was so surprised that for a full minute he couldn't find his tongue. Little Joe Otter's eyes twdnk led more than ever. "Well, son,” said he, "what did pou see?” "I saw your fish disappear," gasp ed the young Otter. “Now I know where my fish went to. Do you see that little white heap over there that looks like snow?" Little Joe Otter laughted right out. "Certainly I see It,” said he. "I saw it as soon as we cams over here. I saw it and i knew what it was. That Is Whitey the Snow Owl, who has ome down from the Far North. He Is very fond of fish. I' guessed right away wJin had stolen your fish. Now we ll go over and see what he has to say about it.” So together they swam over and climbed out on the Ice. Then they made right straight for Whitey. He turned his head, and the young Otter saw a pair of fierce eyes fea he had ever looked into. They were round and yellow. Whitey snapped and hissed. Then he turned so as to face them. He still clutched the fish in his claws. Little Joe Otter snarled and bounded toward -him. Whitey hesitated ouly a second. Then he spread his broad wings and silently flew away, taking the fish with him. Little Joe was too big for him to 'fight with. So It was the young Otter made the acquaintance of Whitey the Snowy | Owl and learned that there is always i an explanation for a mystery. ifiopxrisht. 192S.) ■ " * r— '• 1 Columbus Organized Charity Is Harmful, Says Rev.
