his fair promises. united the cord with
which he was bound, leaving only his
hind feet fastened. Handing him the
pestle, she said, Here, take my place

The Badger being now free to use
his hands, sprang upon her and beat
her upon the head with the pestle I'M

this cruelty, he planned to make soup
of the old woman, and to serve it to
her husband when he should return
from his work. When the soup was
made, the Badger dressed himself in
the old woman's clothes, and disguised
himself so that he looked exactly Like
her. Then he sat own to await the
farmers return.
When the old man, knowing nothing
of what had occurred in his absence,
came home in the evening, the Badger

Her unframed voice was so rich and

salt for the young horses, grazing for
safety amid the intricate thickets. They
had had none for a month. In the third
year of the Civil War, to man and
beast alike, salt was almost a luxury
throughout Middle Tennessee. The
whole region was debatable land. The
bluecoats held the railway towns and
turned them into fortresses, more or
less secure. over the wide green coun-
try road about gray horsemen rode
and raided almost at pleasure. Thus
salt was among the things reckoned
"contraband of war" and to be bought
only in such niggard quantities as were
marked upon the permits from head
quarters. 1t was a high triumph of

JAPANESE FABLE.
The Wicked Badger and the Rabbit.
BY Capt. Celwyn E. Hampton, .. S. A.
NO. 1

NO. L.
There was once an old man, who,
with his wife, lived at the foot of the
mountains in the province of omaha,
in Japan. The old couple owned a
small piece of land. which, by careful
terracing and irrigating, they made to
produce a fair crop of rice each year.
This, with the proceeds from the wood
they gathered upon the mountain side,
was their whole living. Although they
were poor, they were well known for
their honesty and their good nature.
Now, the old mans farm had suf-
fered considerably from the depreda-
tions of a Badger who had his hole
near the farmers house. Although the
old man was kind and long-suffering,
he grew very angry at last, and finally
set a trap, in which the Badger was
taken prisoner. Carrying him home in
high spirits, he cried out, "Hurrah,
wifei l have captured the trespasser.
1 will tie his legs together and hang
him to a rafter. Keep a sharp watch
on him, and this evening he will make
soup for our supper. So saying, he
went away to his work.
The Badger, hanging there until he
became stiff and sore, racked his brain
to discover some means of escape. At
length a plan occurred to him, so he
said kindly to the old woman, who was
hulling rice by poudng it in a mortar
Madam, you are old and weak, and
the work of lifting this heavy pestle is
too much for you. l am ashamed to be
hanging here idle, and watching you
laboring so hard. Let me pound the rice
for you"
The old woman was tired, and felt
very much in need of a rest, but she
feared that if she united the Badger he
would escape. So she said, mo, 1 will
not let you help me. If l should I'M
bind you, you would run away to the
woods, and then my husband would
blame me for letting you CO."
But the Badger continued in a gent
