ny, che looks 50 big and fierce and hum
CRY" Her teeth chartered from fright
Now. see here. mother" said Rinny,
decidedly, II can't allow you to get nerv-
Gus: there's the greatest danger in that.
There is only one thing to do, to keep on
dancing as If We hadn't fear In the
world. We will practice that high step
you taught us yesterday. and if you will
trust to me and follow wherever my ears
pOin We may be able to dance gradually
back to BurrOWtOwn. without appearing
/ to run away from danger"
So the lesson began in real earnest, and
Monsieur Reynard. for 1t was really he.
crept nearer and nearer behind the shelter
OF the trees. The Bunnys seemed to for
get everything in the pleasure of the
dance: hand in hand they flew over the
soft green turf. swinging heres and turn
ing there. just Binny's ears denoted.
Sometimes they came dangerously near
their hidden enemy. darting away before
he had time to clutch them. and little by
little they edged closer to Burrowtown.
Mrs Bunny was too frightened to do
more than stare in front OF her and follow
where Binny gently led. AS Monsieur
Reynard lay between them and Burrow-
town. it was something of problem to
get over on the other side, for his tawny
body barred the way.
NOW said Binny. I'VE must get home
and there is only one path open to us:
it's dangerous and needs courage Will
you promise to follow me?''
'Yesr' they cried in chorus. Then they
took hands again and danced close up to
the tree.
Now. let gor' commanded Binny, as
he made rush forward He sprang on
the PROSTATE body of his enemy and
scampered over it. the others following
so quickly that Monsieur Reynard had
not time to think. and when at last he
managed to struggle to his feet he could
only see their hind legs and the ends of
their stumpy tails as they disappeared
through the gates Of Burrowtown.
Mrs. Bunny was quite Frustrated when
they reached home. Mr.. Bunny had to be
sent for from his work in the tunnel the
citizens were building. connecting with a
certain vegetable garden we'll known to
them all. and he came running in great
haste. with bunch of choice carrots for
the sufferer. These revived her, and,
opening her eyes, she glanced wildly
about her.
"Are-are we safer" she faitered. Then.
looking around. she saw her three stall
wart sons and Mr.. Bunny and all her
anxious friends
"It was a pretty narrow escape" said
Bob. as he told Of the adventure land
if it hadn't been for Binny that would
have been our last dance"
"Hurrah for Binny"' called a voice. and
Binny. much abashed. was forced TO run
away and fold up his ears as we'll as he
could for the cheers were long and loud
so heartily indeed was bravery admired in
BurrOwtOwn.

TRADING RATS.

II is said that in California there is a
rat known as the trade rat The species
seems to be an honest one as far as it's
intelligence goes. If you leave a pan of
anything it likes in a convenient place it
is not above taking it, but it puts some
thing back.
Once a pan of paste was left on a chair
over night. The following morning the
paste was gone. but inside the pan was a
long stick, a piece of rope. bits of paper.
some nails and an unbroken glass funnel
in payment for the paste.

This Christian comment NAV be true;
But some believe we are the stuff
The stuff that makes this nation hum:
Fellows that dare not whine and shirk
But feed the fires and drive the trains
Strong hands, sound heads, for real work.
We all are ordinary boys
But soon the time is coming when
We little. freckled, snub-nosed chaps
Must hump ourselves and act like men.

Nor try to trace our pedigree
But our red blood can make things hum,

Speaking of England's new prime minister writer in a New York pa per has the following to say: MT Asquith is by no means an ideal prime minister. He has no lightness in his mood. He is not ingratiating. He has no charm of manner, and no fine felicity of speech. But he has convictions, and he commands every body's respect. both by the stead fastness of his principles and by his ability as an administrator. Most Of us would rather have seen MT Lloyd George at the head of the cabinet But he is MT Asquith's junior by a decade, has none of the presumptions in his favor which are conferred by a university education and an early introduction to the house of com mons. He is even a dissenter and a Welshman. But Great Britain has no braver or more capable man and Ire. land no stancher friend: and when he has had time 10 live down English preiudices he will come to the chic place.

When the present session of con gress opened predictions were freely made that the prohibitionists would get nearly everything they asked for. What they wanted above every thing else was legislation preventing shipments of whiskev into prohibit ton communities. but the senate committee on Judiciary decided that this was not constitutional. The committee gave one rrumb of sa,is- faction by agreeing to report a bill providing that vhiskey could not be shipped without the plain address oi person for whom it was intended. This put a stop 10 anybody calling for a package. paying the freight and getting the goods The next mos, important legislation asked for was prohibition for the District of o. Iumbia. which Is controlled by con- Eress.

225TH ANNIVERSARY.
City Government of Philadelphia
 Founded October i-tO, 1908.

Philadelphia. April 10.-Arrange- ments are being rapidly perfected by the citizens and councilmanic com mittees for the 225th anniversary of the founding by William Penn of the government of Philadelphia. tO he observed during the entire week of October 40. 1908. and the forth coming event gives promise of being the most remarkable celebration of its kind ever attempted by any American city.
 In scope. the proposed celebration will embrace historical pageantry-- the first ever witnessed in this coun- try and which will be on a scale equal to and probably surpassing the historical pageants of England and Germany-a impressive display of federal and state troops together with d review of warships of the Att lantic fleet, and. without doubt, representative vessels of foreign navics: d review of the police and fire departments of the city, in which will be shown the evolution of both of these municipal forces from early times: an indus rial pa radc. which will he on more pre- tentious plan than that in Philadel phia in ISS2. declared to be one of tho finest of it's kind ever shown; a marine pageant on the Delaware river. in which more than 500 yes sels of all description will partici- pate. and numerous other features Of compelling in crest.
 From an historical standpoint the anniversary vill he of interest tO all Philadclph hians irrespective of residence. Careful and recent re- search ContIusiveIy proves that the original government of the city was founded in 1883. less than four months after Pcnn's first arrival in Amerira. Since that time the his tory of Philadelphia has been closely allied vith the growth nf the na- lion.

A movement has just been inau- gurated by the commercial and scientific associations of Great Britain for the extermination of rats, which are very destructive to property. The United Kingdom of- fers to American exporting chemists an attractive market for the sale of some rat-destroying virus, harmless to other creatures, but spreading contamination and death ,to its. own kind. Owing to the spEeading, by rats of trichinosis among swine, the German imperial chancellor has is- sued a receipt for the extermination of the rat in any district where trichinosis occurs.
