The Squirrel and the Peanuts.

One morning Billy's mother brought

the bag on d table near one of the

them again till afternoon, and then,
when she went for them, they were
gone except two or three.
So she called Billy and said: Billy,
did you take my nuts?"
mo, mamma, l haven't seen any
nuts; where were they?" said Billy.
She told him, and Billy and his moth
er wondered and wondered where the
peanuts could have gone, for they
were alone in the house that day.
After supper, just at dusk, as Billy
was sitting in his mothers lap on the
porch, he spied the little porch chip
munk running along the edge of the
plaza outside the balustrade which did
not quite reach the floor. The little fell
low stopped and pushed something in
side and then ran away. Back he came
again and pushed something else in.
Billy wanted to run at once and see
what it was, but his mother said:
Wait a minute and see if he comes
again.
Sure enough, in minute there he
was again; and over and over he came
until there lay on the porch-guess
what? A heap of peanuts.
They proved to be the nuts Billy's
mother had bought, and which the lit
tie perth chipmunk had stolen and
brought back again: they knew it was

AUNT BUSY HAS HER SAY.

Dear Nieces and Nephews-Aunt
Busy is anxiously waiting to hear from
you in regard to that last question
she asked. Now she is going to give
you two weeks longer to answer her.
She is sorry to see that there was so
little interest taken in that question.
Many of Aunt Busys very dear CORE
spondents have quite ignored her of
late, and she would really like to hear
from them. You see, your letters mean
so much to poor old Auntie Busy. She
misses hearing from you more than
you realize. By the way. Aunt Busy
would dearly like to hear from her
dear niece Tessie Reichle who lives in
Montana. This charming little girl
was seriously i'll when she last wrote
10 Aunt Busy. How she is now is a
question that has caused Aunt Busy
much thought Tessie has always been
particular "chum" to old Aunt Busy.
Well, good-by dear girls, dear boys.
Please do not quite forget your loving
