Herbert Colingwoood.-Why should
the government send free seeds to
people who are abundantly able to buy
them? Why stop at seeds? They are
no more necessary than shoes or hats
or hoes or wheel barrows. II a well-to-
do man is to have seeds given him
freely, why is he not justified in de-
manding the hoe. rake, spade and ferti
lizer needed to plant them? Why not
limit the distribution to people who
will go before the overseer of the poor
and certify that they are too poor to
buy their own garden seeds? We think
we are quite justified in saying that
the American seed trade will assume
responsibility for the demonstration of
all such people and thus save the gov
ernment s252,54 which it spent last
year! Come, now. seriously. what rea-
son can any man of property give for

BUNNIE AND FOX.

"In the woods" said Daddy, there
lived mother Rabbit and all her lit
tie Children. They had beautiful
home-as nice as could be in one of
the finest brier patches ever known.
Mother Rabbit was really extremely
proud of her home and used to give
many fine receptions there for the
animals. Especially wonderful were
her Carrot receptions"
"What were those, Daddy?" ex,
claimed the Children.
"Just the same as your Mothers

they had Carrots. They much prefer
them-in fact, they don't like tea at
all, and even ice cream doesn't seem
so nice to them. But CarrotS-well,
Carrots are worth while, they think.
And as for clover-well, they'd rather
have clover than almost anything in
the world.
"Now, all Mother Rabbits Children

At adjournment yesterday there were
about 225 bills in the House A great
many of them being amendments to
our present laws and appropriation
bills. Several of these appropriation
bills have been taken up by the Com
mittee of the Whole and have passed
the House. Besides these appropria-
ton bills which included the cost of
the election contest, which were pass
ed after considerable argument, the
come up.
H. B. No. s. This is a bill presiding

penal institutions of the state This
does not apply to those working in
the gardens, fields, etc 1t was brought
out in the discussion that the present
days work for guards and others in

present exists in the penitentiaries in
other states for eight hours. The

in the state, especially with the road
gangs. The warden and ithers in
authority recommended an eight hour
day for these men. This bill does not
mean that a man must stop work at
the end of eight hours but that he
must not work over Sc hours a week.
This, of course, will cost the state
about $4,000 as it takes one-half more
employees. This bill passed the House
unanimously.
H. B. No. 3. applies to railroads
fencing their rights of ways and pro-
vides for payment of the actual dam

railroad lines. This bill is similar to
the present law but it seeks to make
the railroad pay full value for animals
killed and to make it easier 10 collect

In H. B. No. 46 we had great dis
cussion. This bill sought to reduce
the legal rate of interest from per
cent TO per cent The new bill was
copied after the present law except
per cent was supplied for per cent.
Nearly everyone took part in the de-
bate The cheif objection seemed to
be that the bill might put a premium
on the non-payment of notes when no
contract was specified and might de-
lay payment after judgment Several
expressed themselves in favor of 6

even more so than most of his family.
And he was sociable. Entirely too So
ciable, his Mother thought.
"He liked to go to every party that
was given in the woods-even II the
parties were not given by his friends.
"Now, one day n Black Fox moved
to the woods to live. None of the ami
mails were pleased to hear that he'd
come to stay, for that meant they
would have to think of getting out of
his way, and doing as he said. Many
of the animals left food at the en-
trance to his home so he wouldn't eat
them up instead!
MIR. Black Fox looked all about the
neighborhood and he noticed Bunuie
Bonnie scampering around more than
any of the others. So one day he
spoke to him ana this is what he said:

bit, and that you're not afraid of me.
