A pet squirrel belonging TO some
friends had become so tame that the door
of his cage was often left open, and he
would make excursions to the neighbor-
ing gardens and trees, always coming
back after a little to his home. as he evil
IDENTIFY considered the cage. Once, how
ever, he made so long a stay that the
family had about given him up for lost,
though they left the cage still standing
in its usual place, with the door inviting

One day he made his appearance, having
brought another squirrel with him. He
at once began 20 entertain his visitor by
jumping upon the wheel in the cage and
keeping it whirling for some time. Then
the other one tried it awhile, and after

APPRECIATED ADVICE.

When he had gained sufficient courage
he again sought out the merchant who
had rebuffed him. "Ihave come TO make
you present of bottle of fine pickles. T"
"Why do you make me a present of
them?"
because you gave me advice that was
worth great deal"
The morning of one Fourth Of July
came, and he pondered whether to go to
his store or not. All at once he thought,
people going on picnics will want pickles
1t was the magic words on the little card
that ran through his mind. He found,
as he had thought, large number Of
buyers waiting for him.
The little card was consulted in all
sorts of weather. If man made pro
position to him OF any kind, and he was
In doubt, he would go and look at the
words, though he knew them by heart
already One day a cheese merchant
came to persuade him to buy his stock.
"People," said he, "who buy pickles
always buy cheese; you will do a big
trade" It was temptation. He went
and looked at the words and studied
them intently, trying to think out their
application to the case In hand. "Men
do what they can" he reflected. 81
would like to sell cheese, but know /
can sell pickles" then he returned. Now
he was resolute and firm, although by
nature easily bent and swayed by the
words of others.
