How Little Peter Went Nutting

1t was the very last day of October
and Mary and John and Will and
Kate, as soon as ever they ate their
dinners, set off carrying baskets and
tin kettles, for the woods to gather
nuts. Their mother had promised to
let them stay until nine O'Clock that
night, and they were to play games
in the big kitchen. She would sup
ply the apples, but they must pro-
vide the nuts, so in high glee they
started, laughing and chattering mer-
rily.
All but little Peter, the baby broth
er, who had been voted "too little"
for such a tramp, for he was only four
years old. His mother had given him
his little tin wagon and some blocks
so that he could play "expressman,"
and left him in the garden while she
went to attend to some household
duties.
Peter, however, soon grew tired of
his wagon, much as he liked it on
other days, but on this day he only
cared to go nutting. By-and-by he
happened to see the big market bas-
ket, which had been set out in the
sun to dry. A sudden thought struck
little Peter. "They forgot to take

Opening the Chestnut Burrs.

The old mother squirrel, so grizzly and gray,
Sat under tree, one cold autumn day;
The young ones were busily hunting around
For nice, fat, brown nuts, that had fallen to
ground.
For winter was coming and scant was their
store,
SO they eagerly turned over the leaves for
more;
That when the deep snow covered forest and
wood
They could live warm and snugly with plenty
of food
An odd little chap, In the chestnut SO HIGH
Half hid In the branches so no one could spy;
Dressed warmly in fur, with long beard snow
white,
And eyes like great diamonds, SO sparkling
and bright,
Was watching the squirrels who ran to and
"Now, here Is chance for my skill, and I'll
show
Those grumblers who think do nothing but
harm
Tho my breath is so cold, that my heart is
still warm"
He waited until the moons clear slvery light
Showed the ground underneath, with no SPUR.
rel In sight,
Then DER all branches skipped nimbly about
With his queer little staff, short, knobby and
stout.
He tapped on the top of each little green shell
Till the doors opened wide, and down the nuts
fell,
Then, his work being done, the jolly old elf
Shook with laughter and mlrth as he said to
himself,
"To paint few windows l quickly must hie
Then to crack a few glasses, set carelessly by
The children will smile at the castles and
trees,
And the mother will frown, when her goblets
she sees;
But the squirrels, who come in the crisp morn
ing air
To gather the nuts strewn abundantly there
VIII caper with Joy, and hope they will know
That It's good old Jack Frost, who has aided
them so.

come, come, We have called me long,
drive thousand ducks right on;

And put the oak trees fast to sleep.

maintained all was due him, for, he
condescendingly declared, "Nobody

I hadn't gone and got the big basket

enough nuts, and I'll have to 60 and
take it to them" So saying he took
the basket, which was almost as big
as himself, and half dragged it to the
gate which he Unattached, and then
walked out in the road, turning in the
direction of the woods.
No one saw the little figure toddling
along with the big basket. He didn't
60 very fast, for the basket was a
great hinderance, but he manfully
tugged away at it, thinking with
pleasure of how glad Mary and the
others would be to get it. He didn't
know the way very well, however, for
he wandered from the road and went
into meadow. AS it happened the
bars were down, so he and the bas-
ket entered with but little trouble.
After crossing the meadow he came
to fence, under which he crawled,
and by dint of much dragging and
squeezing managed to get the basket
through also, though in the struggle
the lid was left behind. This occa-
stoned no regret, though, for little
Peter looked upon lids as useless ap-
pendages to baskets, and went serene
ly on. He was now in a cornfeld.
The corn had been gathered, but the
great stalks, yellow and brown, were
still standing up in tall rows. He
went on and on, but wherever he
looked he saw but the same tall stalks
with their yellow leaves swaying
gently above him. He grew bewild-
cred and very tired. The day was
still and mild, the sun warm, and as
title Peter sat down and heard the
rustling leaves and saw them nodding
toward him, he began to nod too.
His eyes closed, his head dropped,
and soon he was fast asleep, his little
body resting against the basket, his
chubby hand still faithfully grasping
the handle.
As it happened little Peter, though
he did not know it, was almost at the
edge of the field and just back of
Farmer Weston's house, and Nancy
Weston taking a short cut home
through the field late that afternoon,
was surprised to come across the little
boy peacefully sleeping. "Well!"
she exclaimed, eff this isn't little
Peter Dalton. What can have brought
him here and with such a big basket
too?" Then remembering that earlier
in the day she had seen the Dalton
children going to the woods for nuts,
she soon guessed that Peter had fol-
lowed them. "Poor little DEAR" she
said, "and he wanted to fill his bas-
ket no doubt; well, he shall have his
nuts" and running to the house she
got her father to help her out with
great bag of them, out of which they
quite filled Peters basket.
All this time Peter was dreaming
the lovelest dream about being in
the woods and seeing great piles of
nuts heaped up under ever tree,
enough to fill hundreds of baskets.
In the midst of this beautiful dream
he awoke, but if Miss Nancy and her
father expected Peter to show any
surprise at seeing the basket filed,
they were disappointed, for he took
the nuts as q mattar of nourca He
