Jle didn't even complain to Jiimself because he was so uncomfort 'able. The hole he was In at the hack of Buster Hear s cave wasn't muoij .more than a deep crack. Peter Jouldn't even lift his head. There was '.lust room for him to lie flattened out with his hind legs straight out behind him. Hut he was safe, and that was everything Just then. But after a while Peter became so uncomfortable that he tried to wrig gle into a more comfortable position. •By kicking and squirming and wrlg -gling he managed to got turned ■around so a* to fare that narrow .(qiening. It was dark In Bustef Bear's bedroom, so Peter couldn't "yep out. But his wabble- little rinse fold him that Reddy l-'ox was silting ■Just outside that narrow little en trance. Kven then Peter didn't worry. • He felt sure that Reddy would grow dlred after a while and would give lip trying to catch him. Now Reddy Fox was very comfort side. That bedroom of Buster Bear's n n?

Reddy decided that he couldn't I* find a better plate to take a nap, ao -he curled up right In front of the i£1ltfte hole In which Peter was so un ••comfortable. He knew that Peter fcptrtfln’t possibly get out of there iavlfhout waking him. In no time at Srifcjie was enjoying a nap. STTlTror Peter! He was so uncomfort■ and ao cramped that It aeemed -•*•0 • him that he couldn’t stand It ~tmicli longer. Then at last he began £to worry. He knew by little sounds ; i hot rem bed him that Reddy Fox Twx< asleep. Ills wabbly little nos* ♦ told him lltat Reddy was nsleei; rclose to Hint eitfranVe. He knew that ijhe couldn't possibly wrlfcgle chit ol Kthere without waking Reddy. Hup {posing Reddy should sleep* a long jlong ttpie, as he wns very likely tc £ ilb peter didn't sea how he conic *j*possibly' Stay In that light place very long, lie felt stiff already, f ~"Oh, dear!" thought Peter. "I never 1 was In a jgorse fix In sll my life. No sir, I never was. I ache all over. II ; Reddy Fox doesn't leave pretty aoor I’ll just have to crawl out. Tes, sir I'll Just hsv« to. But that would hr crawling right Into Reddy's stomach I I can't do that. Whatever did 1 dare Reddy Fox for? I was sure he wnulc lie afraid to come in Buster Hear t bedroom. It didn’t once enter np head that he would dare come In. 1 suppose it serves me right. I ougli to have had more sense. Ouch! Hoe uncomfortable I am! If 1 could Jus ■It down I wouldn’t mind so niucl being a prisoner. But I can't lift mi bead without bumping It, If I 4v*1 . get nut of this alive I'll never, never never do such a foolish thing again Oh, dear! Oh, dear!" Peter began tr whimper very softly.

Illlnnt* - - -'r Nebraska Editor Scores Out-State Critics of Omaha Tells Headers Prosperity of Metropolis ami Smaller Cities Dependent 1 pon One Another. gpeelill hUimtrli In The Onliihn lire. Nebraska City, Neb.. Feb. 24.—The Nebraska L'lty Press, in an editorial, calls upon the people of that city and of Nebraska as a whole to realize that prosperity for the stale means prosperity for all, that the tendency In certain quarters to line up against Omaha is taking a narrow view of things. The editorial In the Press follows: "Some narrow-visioned persons who live in Nebraska have declared recently (hat Omaha's economic trou bles, of which more or less has been said throughout the state, will help the remainder of the slate, since smaller communities will profit, mate rially speaking, from the illness of the metropolis. "What a foolish premise! How silly to single track, through such a men tal fog as that suggests! Ilit At OiiihIih Hit At Nebraska, •‘Whatever hits Omaha below the belt, whether It he the failure of a mercantile establishment or a factory, the bankruptcy of a hank or sn athletic club, cracks Nebraska on the cranium to just about the same degree of temporary economic Insen si bill ty. “We are provincial In Nebraska only to the extent of our mental at tltude toward such a claim. We are provincial In some respects because we are safer, but as a business nmi munlty most assuredly we are not, and If Nebraska suffers, Omaha suf fers; if Nebraska prospers, Omaha prospers. And then reverse the situa tion and you will get just about the same result—the horizontal* "work out" beautifully with the verticals in the economic cross word puzzles which have kept many a man up o' night for the past three or four years. Omaha Is Nebraska. “It may scent to be quite the thing to poke fun at Omaha and secretly gloat over the occasional misfortunes which have come to that city just as they have come to every other city in the great agricultural middlewest, hut it most certainly is not the thing. Not only Is It not good taste nr charity or hospitality, nr "whatever you may see fit to name If, but It Is not good common sense. Omaha is Nebraska. Rest assured of that fact. "When folks who live afar speak of H»'.. - ■■■■ ' = Nebraska «»r think of Nebraska thev have a picture of Omaha in their minds, for be it known that Omuha has done T.”» per cent of the advertis ing which Nebraska has been fortu nate enough to get in the past two decades and Omaha, to its rredit and as might have be*n expected of it, did not forget to mention Omaha w hen it mentioned the great country which surround* it. Must Work Together. "So, remember this, you chuckle heads who are gloating over the evils which have befallen certain institu tions in Omaha: You may he t*m porarily blessed. Out you'll be perma nently crippled unless you help Ne braska help Omaha bail, to the ped estal where it belongs. And, besides, you'll not be helping your home state, of which you are so blatantly proud, if you continue to "knock" one-fifth of your state. Don’t be a chuckle head. and don’t be provincial or nar row or damphulish when you try to make yourwfelf think that you can ever prosper permanently by the mis fortunes of other folks.
