Well hunt and hunt the SLY old coon.
So sang Farmer Browns boy as night
after night he and BOwser the Hound
started for the Green Meadows. They
thought it great fun, but 1t wasn't fun
at all for Bobby Coon. Poor Bobby! He
was growing thin with worrying and be-
cause he really didn't have enough to
eat. He didn't go out any more than he
had to, and not at all in the daytime. And
at night his heart was in his mouth
every time he left his snug home i'm a
great hollow chestnut tree. So far he had
managed to fool Bowser the Hound and
Farmer Browns boy every time. but he
was afraid, dreadfully afraid, that sooner
or later they would discover his tricks
and then-Bobby Coon never liked to
think about that time.
Now, way over in the Old Pasture, on
the edge Of the mountain. Granny FOX
and Reddy Fox had been living peace
fully while Reddy Fox grew well and
strong, for you see he had been badly
hurI by shot from the terrible gun of
Farmer Browns boy. and that is why
they had left the Green Meadows and
gone to live in the Old Pasture. But Gran
she was growing very, very tired of this
peaceful! life. Now. on these moonlight
nights. while Reddy Fox was hunting for
his dinner old Granny Fox would steal
away down to the very edge of the Old
Pasture. and then she would cock up her
ears and listen and listen.
Way over in the Green Forest she would
hear the voice of Bowser the Hound. She
knew that he was following Bobby Coon's
tracks. Bowser's voice would sound more
and more excited. and then suddenly ii
would cease altogether.
Bobby Coons fooled him again. old
Granny Fox would say. and grin.
So it went on night after night, and as

ONE EPISTLE TO MIR. WILSON,
Little Girl Exults Over Result of
Election and Then Recites
Her Wants.

The Post Office Department is being
flooded with children's Santa Claus let
ters from all parts of the country, some
of them very pathetic, in the belief that
the recent order concerning the delivery
of such letters to benevolent institutions
means that the department will see that
presents are furnished the children who
write.
In many instances parents seem to
have encouraged this belief in their chill
dren and, rule. it simply means dis
appointment for the little ones.
The Postmaster General has no fund
at his disposition with which to buy
Christmas presents for poor children. ard
ifShe were to attempt to do so individ-
ually he would have to have the wealth
of the Morgan financial interests to
carry out the project.

from a little girl at DOthan. Ala, and is
