It was very comfortable home. Mother Rabbit had carefully hollowed out the bur row and made 1t cosey with hay and dry leaves and lined 1t with fur from her own breast. Yet those bunny babies were not satisfied Tt Is too small" they said. our legs are always getting tangled up. But as Mother Rabbit said, that was to be ex- pected, as there were seven babies and each had four legs Besides. Jackie always made matters worse He dd so love to play tricks And how can fellow help it1' Jackie would answer, when his eyes are shut so tight he can't see wink. l wish they'd hurry and open. guess I'll rub them. Maybe that will help" Rubbing, however, only made them sore, so he soon stopped It. Then one day they opened all by themselves, and he was proud Indeed. But very soon he found something to grumble about.
 Don't take my fur,' he said. "It Is too thin"
 Do stop complaining" answered his mother. "A week ago you had no fur at all. It will be as thick as mine In tme.'
 Well, my legs won't get any better, any how" he went on. Just see them. My front ones are ever so much shorter than my back ones. Why aren't they alike?"
 ''For shamel" cried his mother. Nothing suits you. How could we rabbits take long jumps If our legs were all the same size? You should see your father jump"
 "our father!" cried all the bunnies Have we fatherT"
 aTo. be sure you have" replied Mrs. Rab- hit. s'When you are a little older we will ali Oo out to see him" After this Mrs. Rab- hit had very little peace. Jackie especially was always asking her questions.
 .,I suppose It is because he has superior r,,nd " she told herself. Nevertheless. if was very tiresome. At last came the im- portant day when the children were to see their father for the first time. They had grown quite big and were looking very pretty indeed with their new grayish brown topcoats their whltish vests and their cum ming little upturned white tails. Their father was very proud when he saw them. He was a big rabbit, with long whiskers, and very wise in rabbit ways, so of course they learned many things from him. He showed them how,to gnaw bark, so that their teeth. which were growing all the time, might not get too long. and how to hold their ears so that they could hear the least sound and run for cover. He also showed them how to crouch down among the grass and leaves and lie so still that an enemy would never guess they were there. Besides this he told them where they could find the juicy young vegetables and the tender green things that rabbits so love.

The heUntruthfulLdke
BY ANNA MARBLE.

Once there lived in a tiny red house close to the border of a beautiful lake terrible old witch. She was little and thin and cruel. md her gray hair hung in a thick mat over her eyes and from beneath the scarlet hood which she always wore. short brown skirt came just to her ankles, and underneath there peeped out two tiny black velvet slip. pers with bright scarlet heels
 You might have thought that living as she did, close to the calm and beautiful water, where the soft waves rippied with soothing little murmur like a lullaby. the old witch would have learned by and by to look at the world with pleasan6er eyes. But 1t was not so, and sometimes at night, it was said, she used to stand at the border of the lake, and, waving her hand. cause the quiet waters to rise wickedly and the laughing ripples to foam with wrath. Then she would jump up and. down on her high scarlet heels and call aloud with strange words to the wicked sea spirits whom she summoned to dance wildly on the rocking crests of the furious waves
 When the sea spirits had danced until they were tired and the waves had lashed them selves into q state of exhaustion the witch would raise her wand again, the fake would instantly assume its peaceful aspect. the gentle rfppfes would sing their pretty songs and the naughty old woman would go back to her little red house, quite pleased at hay
  Nor was that all for through the enchant- ment of the witch, even in its calmest moments the lake held a strange spell for those who happened to.fook Into its shining depths. You see, the witch was a very vain old person, so she caused the blue water to reflect all images thousand fold prettier than they were in reality
 Trees that nodded their vain heads over It's depths were nattered at beholding their trunks more slender and their leaves thou- sand times more delicately green. Dragon flies saw their gffttefdng wings reflected In myriad shining coiors and were so over whelmed with confusion and vanity that they dsrted hither and thither quite as though they had taken leave of their senses. Birds paused in their flight across the lake to watch the false reflection of their wonder ful plumage such as never was seen outside the gardens of Paradise.
 Tn this way the old witch was enabled to see herself as other people did not see her, and thus made believe to herself that she was beautiful.
 Now there lived not far from the en- rhanted water two sisters who were prin- cesses, daughters of 6 king. One of these was called Charioteila, the other F1oryeet Chsrloteila was very plain indeed, with great ugly hands and big fiat feet and eyes and q nose and mouth that didn't seem to match at all. Chsrlotslla knew that she was homely, and at first she used to cry about 1t when she saw her reneo- ton In the hand mirror of polished metal, which was the only kind that they had h sthose days Her lack of beauty preyed upon her 90 much that after a while It caused her to become sufky and cross for she used to say to iherself:-

No wonder they reir very, very wise as they scampered home after the talk was over.
 "To-morrow I shall try all those things. Jackie decided. But alas, In the morning their mother came to them in great trouble. aMy children" she said. 'the reapers are out They are coming nearer and nearer. and soon our home will be torn open and we ourselves killed perhaps.

Then. when I say run, don't stop second, but follow right after me. I know good hiding place if we can only reach it.
 of course the little bunnies were terribly frightened. That is, all except Jackie. He was more anxious to find out what made the strange noise he heard. So when his mother, waiting her chance. cried run" he went only few steps beyond the burrow and there stopped. "rll soon see what 1t is," he said to himself But alas! just then some one called :-"There goes a bunny.

WHAT ROOSETLLT Has DONE

What. positively. has he (Roosevei3
accomplished?
He has handed over to Cuba the gov
eminent of the Cuban republic.
He settled the anthracite coal strike.
which for half a year had demora.ized
the industries of the country.
When Great Britain, Germany and
Italy were attacking Venezuela he In
duced them to desist, thus preserv ng the
invioiability of the Monroe doctrine.
The three commissioners appointed by
him to discuss the Alaskan boundary
question gained a complete victory for
the American contention.
The Cuban reciprocity treaty, VIII CHI
had been defeated by one congress, was
passed in a subsequent special session,
because Roosevelt insisted.
BY the creation of a bureau of COM
merce and labor, for which his influence

taken the first definite s.els toward the

corrective can be applied.
The door TO China's trade has been
kept wide open to our trade.
But the most enduring benefit the pres
ident has brought to the country has
been the assurance that the Panama
canal would be finished. In the isthmian

the prospect of the interoceanic cana,

piercing the American isthmus. But it
bring these dreams within sight of real

tion with the Panama canal as the most
momentous fea. ure of his first term.
Thus Theodore Roosevelt has been an
