Of saving. All they have learned is
how to spend money, not wisely, but
too well. A change for the better

Yes, this is where l live" And
then the rabbit said:
well, my name is Rabbit. I've
heard about you, and so I've come to
invite you to visit me-"
Where do you live?" asked Flint.
MY home is in the broom grass by
the riveI," said the rabbit.
We'll, will be pleased to come and
visit you in few days." said Flint, and
he looked as if he wished the rabbit
would go away.
why not come with me today and
have supper at my house?" asked the
rabbit, who had made his plans.
"All right, will,' said Flint. "Just
wait till cover my fire with ashes so
it will keep till morning"
So the two came down from the
mountain together, and they came to
the rabbits house by the river. The
rabbit said he'd make fire down by
the water, where it was cooler. and
then they ate their supper on the
grass.
1t was a good supper the rabbit
cooked, and afterward Flint said he
was sleepy and would take nap. And
when Flint lay down the rabbit hunted
round for two big sticks. Then he got
out his knife and began to whittle on
the sticks. One he whitfield in the
shape of hammer and the other he
shaped like a wedge.
What are you doing that for?"
asked Flint sleepily.
| ooh, always have to be doing some-
thing" said the rabbit. Besides,
these may come in handy"
Soon Flint was fast asleep. The
rabbit spoke to him, but he did not
answer. The rabbit went over and
kicked Flint, but even that did not
wake him. Then the rabbit put the
sharp wedge against the body of Flint
and drew back as far as he could with
the hammer and sent the wedge deep
into Flints body.
AS he struck, the rabbit turned and
ran as fast as he could to the door of
his house. Just as he got inside he
heard great explosion and struck his
head out to see what it was. The
wedge had broken the body of Flint
to bits and the pieces were flying all
about.
1t was one of the pieces that came
flying straight at the rabbit and cut
his upper lip before he could pull his
head inside his door And to this day
you can see in the upper lip of the
rabbit the little split made by the
piece of Flint.

TOAD A VALUABLE SERVANT
Its Uses In the World Have Not Been
Accorded the Recognition II
Has Long Deserved.

Few well-meaning creatures have
been more thoroughly misunderstood
than the homely, meditative and re-
firing toad.
Formerly the toad was considered a
venomous reptile, but in our day it's
habits have been more carefully OBJ
served and its great value to the
promologist and gardener has been
fully established on account OF its
propensity for destroying insects.
We should, therefore, cultivate the
friendship and assistance of the In
sectivorous reptiles, including the
striped snake, as we'll as that Of
birds.
Every tidy housewife detests the
cockroach, mice and other vermin.
Two or three domesticated toads
would keep the coast clear of these
and would be found more desirable
than n cat, as they are wholly free
from trespassing on the rights of man
as does the cat. The toad is pos
sessed of timid and retiring nature,
loving dark corners and shady places,
but under kind treatment becoming
quite tame.
Many instances might be cited of
pet toads remaining several years in
family and doing most valuable
service with no other compensation
than that of immunity from persecu-
ton.
In Europe toads are carried to the
cities to market and are purchased by
the horticulturists, who by their aid
are enabled to keep in check the mul.
tiplication of the insect tribes which
| prey upon their fruits, flowers, etc.

there is no place in the city high

Good Cheer Aids
Digestion of Food
Dyspepfics Can Make The Resi- Of
fte Family Happy by Usfng
a Laxative Tonic.

The temper of the family and the
good cheer around the table depend so
much on the good digestion of each
individual present that the experiences
Of some former dyspeptics who over
came their trouble should be Of inter

way.

Is advice that is seldom heeded-is to

full carefully. However, IL slow eating
and careful mastication fail the next

FIRST BOOKS FOR CHILDREN
Pioneer of Juvenile Literature Was
John Newbury-Immortali In
"The Vicar of Wakefield"

John Newbury was really the
pioneer of the children's books which
he advertised SO ingeniously, and the
two hundredth anniversary of his birth
Is worthy of remembrance. His
Juvenile Library" commenced about
1850, was the first attempt to provide
the children with readable books, and
1t was in this series that "Goody Two
Shoes" Giles Gingerbread" and
Tommy Trip" first made their appear
ance In print. Goldsmith, who wrote
a good many OF these children's class
les for Newbury, termed him the hon
estest man in creation" and immortal
ized him by a pleasing portrait in
