THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 1930 Jerry Isn't Proud By Thornton W. Burgess v Sometimes 'tis hard to cling to pride, E'en though you want to and have tried. ~Jerry Muskrat, Jerry Muskrat didn't know just when his new family arrived in the inug home in the bank of the Smil- ing Pool, You sce, Mrs, Muskrat had fot allowed Jerry to come into the house for several days. At first Jer- ry had thought this was due to cross- ness on her part, Being rather good- natured himself, he hadn't minded and had promptly left every time Mrs, Muskrat had sent him away. Then one day as he crept up the dong hall to sce if Mrs. Muskrat was at home, he heard certain sounds that eaused him to stop and hold his breath and listen, Then very, very softly he left by the way he had come, He had a queer feeling, did Jerry, When at last he reached the Big Rock at the Smiling Pool and climbed out of water, he looked back towards . the entrance to his home with such a. funny look on his face, "I do believe," said he, "that there are babies in there. 1 do believe | have a family" After that Jerry' hung around his home more than usual, He was wait- ing for Mrs. Muskrat to come out, At last she did, Of course, she had 10 come out to eat, "My dear," shil Jerry, "why didn't you tell me? How many are there?" Mrs. Muskrat paid no attention to the first question, To the second she merely answered "Plenty" So Jerry was no wiser than before, Mrs. Muskrat did not stay out long and while she was out she appeared to have something on her mind, Jerry hung around until she had once more gone into the house, "She might have told me how many there are," said he in a grieved tone of voice, as he swam over to- wards the Laughing Brook, "I'm their father and 1 guess I've a right to know. She said that there are plenty, but that doesn't mean anything, That might mean three, or it might mean four' or five" The more Jerry thought -it over, the more he wanted to know how many children he had, He began watching his house or the entrance to it, for a chance to slip in while Mrs. Muskrat was out, At last he got the chance, Mrs, Muskrat swam over and disappeared among the bull- rushes around the Laughing Brook where it enters the Smiling Pool. Jerry, who had been hiding nearby, took his chance, The instant she was out of sight he swam to the entrance to his home and a second later he was scrambling up the long hall to the snug bedroom at the end. Now, | don't know just what Jerry expetted to find, No, sir, I don't know just what he expected to find, but I am quite certain he didn't find what he expected to, Perhaps he ex- ected to find some cute little babies in fur coats, If he did, he was badly disappointed, Of course, it was dark in there and he couldn't see, but he could feel, and what he felt was a gauirming mass of tiny creatures without any fur coats at all. They were just naked and helpless and squirming. How many there were Jerry couldn't tell, but there were more than he had any idea there would be, AAs For Your Drug Needs 'THOMPSON'S "40 Simcoe St. 8. -- We Deliver gl A i Machinery Repairing NOTHING 200 SMALL ~ Adanac Machine Shop 161 King St, W, Phone 1214 Jerry only. remained a minute, There was only one way out of there and he didn't want to be caught in there by Mrs. Muskrat, So he got JH Cann! "My dear," said Jerry, "why didn't you tell me?" out of there in a hurry, He went over to his favorite place on the Big Rock to think things over. Somchow Jer- ry didn't fecl.at all proud, That mass of squirming, helpless, coatless little babies didn't seem like anything to be proud of. It didn't seem as if they could ever be worth looking at, ' (Copyright, 1930, T. \V, Burgess) The next story: "Jerry Gets His Pride Back." OH, MY, NO!

Among his possessions are the fale islands of Loch Lomond, Ben Lomond and Inversnaid---isles which have been cwned by the duke's family for more than five centuries and which are perment- ¢0 with the atmosphere of ro- mance, In view of ne death duties, however, the duke is arranging for the sale of these and other properties, He is willing to sell to the farmers upon his land but the farmers are unable to buy, In order to preserve such a country side for the country at large the duke has proposed to the govern- ment that, Instead of taking the death duties, the government should accept the land itself, The government possesses the power to accept land on this un- derstanding but the exchequer bhe- Yieves, apparo.!'y, that there are too many difficulties, financial and administrative, In the way -of adopting such a course, Probably tho glvernment, like other par. ties, prefers hard cash, at any rate it professes its inability to accept the ducal proposal, Opzonents of the government point out how often socialists, when In opposition, have express. ed thelr belief in the public own. ership of land, Here 1" Is asserted, is" an excellent opportunity to put their principles into practice and to prove hy definite experi. ment that the nationalization of land Is desirable, The present and sixth Duke of Montrose owns 115,000 acres. He is 62 years of age. An ancestor vas created Karl of Montross In 1505. The dukedom was erealed in 1707, SCHNEIDERS NOW US.
