Granny tco Good Care to Keep Out
or the Way Those Stout Hind
Legs of His,

Peter Rabbit found out who some
of his truest friends are when, be-
cause of the carelessness, old Granny
FoX caught him. Peter has been in
many tight places and had many ter
rible frights in his life. but never did
he feel quite so helpless and HOPELESS
as when he felt the black paws of
old Granny Fox pinning him down
and Granny's sharp teeth in the
loose skin on the back of his neck.
All he coud do was to kick with all
his might, and kicking was quite use
less, for Granny took good care to
keep out of way of those stout hind
legs of his.
Many. many times had Granny Fox
rti ed
had tried to catch Peter, and always
before Peter had been too smart for
her and had just made fun of her and
laughed at her. Now it was her turn
to laugh, and all because he had been
careless and foolish. You see, Peter
had been sure that Granny a had
such a fright when she ran away
from the terrible creature that rolled
down Prickly Porky's hill at her that
she woulden't think of coming back,
and so he had Just given himself up
to ENJOYING Granny's fright. With
n Billy Postum and Jimmy Skunk
he had rolled over n over shout
in with laughter, and at last had
thrown himself down right close to
a low growing hemlock tree without
once thinking of danger. a very fool
ish thing to do as he now knew when
1t was too late. You see, GRANNY
had quickly got over her fright and
had suspected a trick. So she had
crept back and had been hiding under
the very tree Peter had so carelessly
thrown himself beside.
AT Peters yell of fright Unc' Billy
Postum scampered for the nearest
tree and Jimmy Skunk lodged be
hind a big stump. You see, If was
so sudden theat they. really didn't
know what to think had happened.
But Prikly Perky, whom some peo-
Pile call stupid. made no move to run
away. He happened to be looking
at Peter when Granny caught him,
and SO he knew just what it meant.
A spark of anger Dashed in his usual
ly dull eyes, and for once in his life
Prickly Porky moved quickly. The
thousand little pea hidden in hiss
coat suddenly stood on end, and
Prickly Perky made a fierce little
rush forward.
Drop hiln!" he grunted.

The morning glories Chamber all
around its doors and porches,
And the ho%neysuckle round the gate

There the pink and the sweetwilliam.

Shed their spicy odors on the air
when summer winds are low.

When our only prayer is for that
peace the world can never give

When we gain its sacred portal by

was written so many years before

For [ dipt into tho future, far as
human eye could see,
saW the vision of the world, and all
the wonder that would he:
Saw the heavens fill with commerce,
ar2oaies of magic sails.
Pilots of the purple twilight, dropping
down with costly bales:
Heard the heavens M! with shouting,
and there rain'd. q CHASTITY dew
From the nations ai,y IlaNies Crap
ping in the central blue:
Far along the Worldwide whisper of
the south wind rushing warm.
With the standards of the people
plunging thro' the thunder
storm;
TIL the war drum throbb'd no longer.
and the battle flags were furl'd
In the Parliament of man, the FEEDER
alton of the world.
Ihere the common sense of most Shall
hold a fretful realm in awe,
And the kindly. earth shall slumber,
