Billy Bunny and His Friends

You remember the story. I'm sure, 50
let's go on with this one.
what had I better do besides shoot,
ing her sunbonnet off her head ?" asked
the little rabbit anxiouSly. And before
Jimmy Chipmunk could reply, Old
Mother Maybe herself new down and
stood close beside them. Good morn
ing, my dears," she said, and her little
black eyes looked them over from head
to toe and then they fastened them
selves on the ruby pin until Billy
Bunny thought the next moment shA
would pick 1t out OF his tie with her
black beak.
That's a handsome pin you have ia
your cravat Master Billy Bunny" she
said. and stiu she kept her eyes
fastened on the big beautiful ruby.
Perhaps she thought 1t was a ripe
cherry and wanted TO eat 1t, and per-
haps she didn't.
Yes. it's'a very expensive pin,'' satS
the little rabbit and he chuckled to
himself. for Billy Bunny was some
what of tease. you know, only he
never started anything unless some,
body began to tease him first.
Billy Bunny, where did you get tha$
pint" and Old Mother Mischief looked
very solemn. I found 1t In a piece sof
birthday cake" said Billy Bunny,
winkins ct Jimmy Chipmunk. This
was too much for Old Lady Magpie,
and she new away with toss OF her
head And In tho next story she
doesn't believe II, either, but We don't
care, for Tn not going to tell any
thing about her ANYWAY. ~

II evil things should come to pass, It
will not help to cry "Aias!" II will not
help to cry "Alack! Life Eivss tho tam
tods in my back!" When Ancoln held
the White House job. he had q good
excuse to sob. Then every day brought
woe and care, brought dismal tidinSs
of despair. Great Abe would listen to
the news that gave his government the
blues. and cry (men thought he ought
to waiD. Say. that reminds me Of a

then, some mirthlesA narrow minded
men; they called him Jester and buf-
foon. while they put up their dolefuI
tune, and talked Of dead mems bones
and biera and wept some forty kinds
OF tears. But now we think OF Abe -
one who saved things by his genial
fun. Historians now love to bless the
man who smiled in times Of stress, who.
told gay yarns while others wept and
their supply OF sackcloth kept. Tho

One bright sunshiny morning as lit
tile Billy Bunny was looking over the
Pleasant Meadow Jimmy Chipmunk
crawled along the Old Snake Fence,
chattering away in a very angry man
ner
What's the matter?' asked the little
rabbit. for II was seldom that Jimmy
Chipmunk got angry; II was Reddy
Squirrel, his cousin, who had the bad
temper you know.
"Oh. I'm so angry" cried the little
chipmunk. and then he jumped down
and whispered something In Billy
Bunny's ear. And then the little rab-
Bit looked very serious. Yes sireemam,
lie certainly did. And before you get
too curious, will tell you what Tim
my Chipmunk said
And this is what he whispered: "Oid
Mother Maybe Is telling everybody in
the Friendly Fores, you stole that ruby
pin you wear in your necktiel" And
as soon az Billy Bunny got over his
surprise. he got very angry. "Oid
Mother MiAchief had better be careful
what she says about me- and the little
rabbit took his popgun out Of his KNAPP
sack. I'll shoot OF her sunbonnet II
she ever dares say that again"

The attempt Of the Industrial Work

try thruout the country may call even
tually for drastic action on the part
of the federal government.
The cure for this evil may be
brought about in the beginning by
prompt action on the part Of tho gov
eminent. Federal troops may cope
with the situation and every commun-
ity should be prepared to meet any In

It's all right to call upon the people
Of the country to be thrifty during this
great crisis in the affairs OF the world.
but IL Is entirely wrong to carry the
point Of thrift too far. 1t is hardly
necessary to tell people that we are
going to starue. Perhaps such stun
did some good early in the year. as
there never was time in the history
Of the country when there were SO
many gardens under cuitivation-and
this, no doubt, 10 due to the fact OF
high prices, rather than the "scare'
that some we'll intentioned people tried
to throw out.
