Pippin hurried into tho house and told
his wife Of his success In getting two

said he. we cannot remain here the
remainder Of this night, for after the
three robbers have waited a certain
length Of time, they will return to

So we must get away from here as

Pippin decided to lay In wait for the

One H. soon after It was dark
Father Pippin secreted himself beside

seeing i've men creep in through the
gate which led to his farm. Three OF

Al there seemed some sense in what
his son Jacob proposed. Father Pip

Jacob and Dan up first. then handed
Susan up into the arms Of her broth

and the Pippin family sat on the great

pin became uneasy, saying: Il fear
that squirrel has done US mischief.
He induced US to come up into this

And very deliberately
Did take aim at him.
The dear little squirrel
Gave a cry Of despair;
Then his poor, tortured body
Shot down through the air.
And fell to the ground;
And the boy laughed and said:
I'm a pretty fair shot
The squirrel is dead"
So onward he went,
Taking life on the way
A squirrel or bird
Till the close of the day.
Then hcmeward he turned,
His game bag we'll filled;
And he cared not at all
For the blood he had spilled.
But when a fierce dog
Did run out to bite
The brave hunter boy
He screamed in great fright.
And ran down the street.
For a bite wasn't fun,

Dead Letters.

The appeal of Postmaster Campbell of Chicago to users of the mails, that they place return addresses on their letters and packages, would not be un- reasonab ble, even under ordinary cir cumstances. When, however, one con- siders that nearly 100000 letters, post cards and packages received at the Chicago post office in the month of January could not be delivered be- cause they were misdirected, and will, therefore, have to be send to the Dead Letter office, the postmaster's appeal seems amply warranted and worthy of attention. The postal laws require that all undelivered mail shall be kept in the post office thirty days from the time of it's receipt there, before 1t can be forwarded to the Dead Letter office. It cannot fail to be understood that such an immense amount of unclaimed mail as that which accumulated in the Chicago post office last month causes congestion in the office and works to ths deriment of the service. A return line printed, stamped or written on the envelope or a package involves lit tie work on the part of the sender, and may mean a great saving of annoy ance to sender and addressee, besides theAassistance it may afford the postal nchester SInion.
