TALE OF A RABBIT.
How He Avenged an Old woman's
Murder.

Long, long ago. up in the mountains
there lived an old farmer and his
wife. Now, his wife brought his din
ner to him in the fields every day, but
a badger found it out and came every
day and stole the food.
OF course, this made the old farmer
very angry but finally, after many
trials. he succeeded in catching the
badger alive. He took it home and
hung It by the feet from one of the
rafters in the ceiling.
Then he said to his wife: I'VE can
have badger soup. Cook II well and
have IL ready when / return"
SO he went back to the fields, and
his wife set about pounding barley in
the mortar. singing while she worked.
The beast was In great distress, and
at length said to the woman
spare my life. good woman, and l
viii pound your barley"
The woman was tender-hearted. so
she let the badger loose.
But as soon as he was released he
sprang at the woman and killed her.
He took her shape. and made her into
soup.

sometimes interesting to note the
change that comes over the Eng

its people as his sojourn continues
! among us, says Duane in a New York
letter.
l have in mind such an Englishman,
| who, when he landed on these shores,
thought that most Americans were far
less restrained and far more nervous
| in temperament than most English
men. He still holds to his original
view, so far as the educated classes
are concerned, but his notions have
changed wonderfully so far as the
working classes go.
1.-The American working man." says
this Englishman in the light of what
he has seen in the last two years,
lis by all odds the most admirable
workingman, both mentally and phys
ically, that l have ever seen. His
poise, his possession and his gen.
eral information are all far in adj
vance of the English workingman's

something has been wrong. either in

of speculation to me. Is there some

of the soup the badger sailed out:
You wicked man. to eat your wife;
see her bones under the table" and the
| badger ran away
The old man wept bitterly. and
kind old white rabbit who lived near
! by heard him and offered to avenge
his wife's death.
"Parch some beans for me. and then
will go" So the old man obeyed.
| These the rabbit put in his pouch and
went up the mountain,
The badger smelled the beans. and
came to the rabbit. saying:
Give me a handful of those beans"
81 will" answered the rabbit. IF
| you will carry this bundle of straw
for me over to the other side of the
mountain"
why, certainly" answered the
badger, only | want my beans first"
mot until you have carried the
grass" answered the rabbit.
So he tied the grass to the bad
gers back and made him walk ahead.
| Then he struck a match and set fire
to the grass. The badger heard the
match, and asked what the noise
was; but the rabbit turned off the
question.
Then, when the badger smelled
| smoke he again grew uneasy; but the
rabbit again soothed him.
But soon the fire spread and burn
ed the badger so badly he rolled over
and over in pain.
The rabbit then made a sauce of red
| papper, and after making a stick
ing plaster offered to sell it to
the badger to relieve his suffer-
| ing.
The badger did not recognize the rab-
| bit, who was dressed now as doctor
! so he bought the plaster and applied it
| to the burns, which, of course, grew
| ten times sorer from the dreadful
smarting of the red pepper
But in time the burns healed, al
though the badger was still weak One
day he saw the rabbit making a boat
to catch fish in.
Not wishing to be less energetic than
the rabbit, the badger started to make
boat; but not being strong enough
to copy the rabbits, he nodded his boat
out of clay.
But when he got to sea his boat be-
gan to sink; Then the rabbit, who
was close by, hit him with his oar
and killed him.
Thus did he avenge the old womans
murder
