The Dainty Muskrat.

The muskrat is one Of the cleanest
animals known. Not only Is it care
full Of what 1t eats. but before eating
a root or anything else the little ami
NAL patiently scrubs it free from dirt.
Not until every particle is removed
will II eat It, The name has had more
influence in keeping people from eat
ing the flesh than anything else. 1t is
considered great fun to initiate a nov
ice in eating muskrat He is told that
1t is squirrel or any one of dozen
other animals to induce him to eat 1t.
In ninety-nine cases In hundred the
novice Is converted at once after the
first mouthful and forever afterward
never tires of singing the praises Of
the meat.

There were youthful forms and faces.

Within this sacred circle
Our friends once more to greet.
To clasp the hand Of friendship,
Whether in age or youth.
To work in love together
And speak the words of truth.
Here are the same kind faces
That greeted us that night
And the same warm hearts are beating

That truth and love are here
And friendships voice around us
Sends forth its notes Of cheer.
