In the pens are various kinds of live
rabbits of various ages upwards from

there is a pen containing garter snakes,
common In North Dakota.
The exhibit of mounted animals also
is very interesting, including a large
Canada lynx, killed in this state, foxes,
lhares and other wild animals to be
found in North Dakota.
Two banana trees also are exhibited
in this part of the building.
Agricultural Exhibit.
The south wing OF the building is
devoted exclusively to agriculture, the
east side Of the wing presenting a
splendid display of Cass county prod
ucts. One OF the features of this dis
play is 1914 corn, that is eight or nine
feet high, with large, well-formed ears.
Then there are hundreds Of exhibits of
small grain, showing ONE of the finest
products grown lin the country. And
there are garden truck galore, and APP
pies and berries, and other products OF
the farm and garden.
Some of the finest fruit displays ever
seen In the state are exhibited on the
west side of the south wing, including

When Emory Cole came to the corner
| nearest his house he hesitated and then
crossed over to the opposite side OF the
street. ARIEL Maynard was not on her
porch or in sight. but she was behind
front curtain. AS soon as he neared her
gate she would rush out and capture him.
Emory despised Arzel but he was afraid
of her. He had an idea that she intend
ed to marry him, and would whether he
was willing or not. Fate had placed
ARIEL next door to Emory and she had
every opportunity for counting him.
Mornings, when he went, dinner pail in
hand. to his work in the factory. she
waylaid him. and nights, when he re-
turned. tired and dusty, she pounced upon
him from her gate. His mind was ever
busy with schemes for eluding her. Main
ly these schemes failed. Tonight he had
a new one. He would go down the street
on the opposite side and cross over to
his house. 1t had been raining. but he
was less afraid of the mud than of Ar
zell.
AS he neared the Maynard house he
had feeling that he was being observed.
Emory was forty, but he was as shy ana
gentle as girl. He dared not turn ms

Peter Rabbit Keeps Watch.

Every minute that Peter Rabbit was
awake he seemed to be watching for
something. Even when he was eating
he seemed to be all the time looking and
listening. If he was in the Green Forest
he would keep running to the edge and
looking ont. If he was on the Green
Meadows he would sit up every few
minutes and look and look And he al
ways looked in one direction, and that
was in the direction from which gentle
Sister South WIND came.

Jimmy Skunk after he had seen Peter sit
up and look half a dozen times. 'Reddy

Jimmy.

as ne asked this.

Why, IL they have Mistress Spring is
almost here and that's the most splendid
news of the whole year.. cried Peter

for. It's great fun to go about telling
good news. l think I'd rather be Win

as ANYBODY to have Mistress Spring get

fat beetles but what's the use of get

he had come up to see if Johnny Chuck
had walked yet, and soon as he could
he stole away by himself to watch and
listen some more. But it was all in vain.
