Eleanor cried suddenly: "Oh, see, There's

Then the hare made curious sound and
instantly all the little chickens looked up.
They spied him there, crouchng in the
grass, and in a twinkilng all those little
chickens ran toward him. Then the hare
turned and sped silently off toward the
woods and the chickens followed as fast as
they could. The children ran after them
for they wanted TO find out where the hare
was taking the little Easter chickens. When
the hare turned into the woods the chickens

flying over the twigs and ferns in their
way. 1t seemed to Eleanor and John and
Cornelia. after they had gone & little dis
lance. that they were in a new part of the
woods a part they had never seen before,
and yet they had thought they knew every
inch of the ground there.
AT last they came to an open place the
loveliest spot imaginable, filed with all the
Easter fowers-lilies, jonquiIs, azaleas and
hundreds of others. Into the midst of the
flowers leaped the hare. and the chickens
followed That was the last the children
saw of them, for the flowers were tall and
the chickens seemed to have disappeared.
1t was growing late and dark. so Eleanor,
John and Cornelia had to hurry home again
and tell how the Easter hare had come for
the Easter chickens They tried often to
find the beautiful dell in the woods, but
they never could find it or the little
chickens again. But to this day they are
never tired of talking about the wonderful
brood the old hen Matched.

The Little Crab and the Ocean.

Once there was a little crab named Sandy,
who was very proud. He was only day
old. so he really didn't know very much
but he thought he was very clever indeed.
He had been running about on the beach
having good time, when he noticed that
the ocean was great deal nearer his home
than II had been In the morning. Each
wave came rolling in nearer and nearer,
and Sandy grew angry:
60 away he cried to the ocean, don't
come SO near my housed"
Now It happened that 1t was Just at the
turn OF the tide when Sandy spoke, and
sure enough the next wave didn't come so
near him, and the next was still farther
away, SO that Sandy felt prouder than ever.
He ran home and said to his mother In q
very conceited way:
1.-The ocean. was coming too near. and
scared 1t on 1t was very frightened" His
mother didn't say anything at all.
The next morning Sandy woke early and
went out The tide was low, so that tho
ocean was farther away than ever, Sandy
said to himself. Its stiIl frightened. What
big brave person ami think I'll scare
II little more" So he ran right down to
the edge OF the water. Go farther backt''
he called Il don't want you here.e
Now 1t was just at the turn OF the tide
again, but this time the tide was turning
to come in. So the next wave came rus11-
ing up right to Sandys feet. He acurr3ed
back few steps. but he was very angry.

White Elephants.

White elephants are not white by any
means They are a dark cream color and
so scarce as to be greatly priced by the ma
lions who own them. In Siam they are
worshiped as they are in Burmah and

them. and no king who owns one dare sell

Value Of Suggestion.

From Mothers Magazine.
The value of suggestion in the training
and controlling of children Is not, perhaps.
sufficiently appreciated by most mothers.
Often a suggestion at the right moment
will not only prevent a whirlwind of child
ish anger, but develop into a source of pos
tive pleasure.
AS thus: On a day when the little folks
were stormbound, brother, with much pa
tient LABOR. was rearing a tower with the
building. blocks. As 1t stretched up higher
and higher, he placed each block with the
utmost care, calling frequently to mother,
who was near by sewing to see and ad-
mire. Just as he was gently and carefully
placing the topmost block. eagerly pro-
claiming it-as 1t was-the finest and high
est tower he had ever built, every BIT as
tall as baby. little sister, who had climbed
upon stool. jumped off suddenly, and
down came the whole wonderful creation
Brother, a passionate little soul sprang up
with flashing eyes. red face and torrent
of angry words ready to burst forth. But
at the falling of the tower mother cried
out instantly and brightly. IAN earthquake!
An earthduake!'
Brother stood an uncertain moment con-
sidering the new idea, then his tense mus
cles relaxed, the flush and the flash died
rebuilding the tower purpose1y that sister,
as an earthquake, might throw It down by
jumping Off the stool Earthquake became
one of the daily plays and pleasures
It is often easier and always pieasanter
to induce small child to give up a for
something (Which Ii may havel much bet
ter than 1t Is to compel 1t to yield by main
force, and leave hurt and injured feeling
