The next day he was picking blueberries,,
when he came across Brother Rabbit fast
asleep in the BURBERRY patch and beside
him the very pail that had held Judge
Bears honey, full of blueberries. Brother
Rabbit was awakened by two huge paws
squeezing him almost to death. and looked
UP 10 see Judge Bear licking his chops over
him. Il was just bringing back your pail"
cried Brother Rabbit, frightened almost to
death. Just as you left me Squire Ok
came along and tried to steal your honey
and L had to run away with it to save it,

and 1 started TO bring it back to-day and
filled it with all these nice blueberries for
you"
Judge Bear growled and showed his great
long teeth. The shivers ran up and down
Brother Rabbits back so fast that he shook

Bear I'm going to put a stop to your

But when Bundle Bees hive under a rock

Brother Rabbit. land a bee can never sting
when you get him under ground. Have you

confessed that he had not, and became at
once very anxious to secure the honey.
THE rock is too heavy TO move" he said
"apd L don't see any way of getting I'M

You must go over to Squire Ox's house
across the field and borrow a pick and

stored. 1 will stay here and watch your
pail until you come back
So Judge Bear started across the field to
Squire Ox's house. and as soon as he was
out of sight Brother Rabbit took the pail

Do you realize adequately the Importance

There is great wisdom in the following
remarks Of Sir j. Crichton-B Browne, adj
dressed recently to the dentists of Great
Britain. He pointed out that bad teeth led
to many and various diseases, involving
dangers 10 health which had not yet been
fully realized by people at large. For in
stance people who had good teeth would
have far better prospects during an cpl
demic Of Asiatic cholera than those who
had bad teeth The teeth Of inmates of
lunatic asylums showed that there was
some connection between mental and den
tai decay He thought il was the DUTY of
the state TO protect preserve and con-
serve the teeth, and he hoped the time
would come when parents whose children
were found in possession of decayed teeth
would be brought before magistrates

she crept out. There were her stockings
twisting all around inside of the church.
and when she was on the church porch she
could see them stretching away down the
street, with crowds examining them and
wondering what they could be.
No sooner did Sallie step out OF the
church than some children said: Look at
Sallie, without any stocking" and little
further on some more children cried out:
"See. Sallie has no stockings!" Then some
grown people said: "Sallie, why in the
world don't you wear your stockings?"
Sallie, filled with shame, commenced TO
run and all the way home, but as she
ran she could hear every one say: Look at
Sallie without any stockings!" When she
arrived at home, breathless, she told her
mother all about it. Then, bursting into
tears, sobbed: "Oh, mother, 1 shall cry
and then she stopped. She was going TO
say cry my eyes out, but she did not do il.
She laid her head in her mothers lap; her
troubles had made it ache. Poor Sallie
looked up through her tears and said: "Oh,
mother, my head is then she stopped.

punished.
One day Sallie was playing in an orchard
back of the house, when tive-just five
blackbirds lit upon one of the trees and
made a great noise Sallie ran to the
kitchen, where she found the cook and the
cooks aunt. The cooks aunt was a witch,

The old witch, in spite of her pains and
aches, insisted on going to see "a million
blackbirds," and with the assistance of
the cook and the help of her crutch, man
aged to hobble to the orchard. When the
old witch got there she counted just five
blackbirds, and was very angry. Turning
to Sallie, she said: 81 will teach you not
to fool another old woman. From now on
everything you say will be true
That kind of frightened Sallie and for two
whole days she did not exaggerate once.
The third day was Sunday. Sallie's mother
had bought her new pair of stockings.

Brother Rabbit. Judge Bear replied that he

a place where he could fill his pail quite
easily and still have plenty for another
time. AT last they came 10 large rock
