WHY RUSTY WAS LATE.

Every afternoon during the fall

under the trees, Mrs. Raymond take
down 'lantern that hangs in her
kitchen and gives it to Rusty, the
big deg.
Rusty takes the handle into his
mouth and trots Off through the
woods to the railway station about
a quarter OF a mile away.
He waits on the platform for the
train that brings Mr.. Raymond
from the city.
Mr.. Raymond lights the lantern
and gives it back to Rusty, and
Mhey return to- the house where
supper is waiting for them.

Why send affair, to Cork or Rome,
For Sunday hats or bales of hay?
Lets buy the goods we make at
And show we're patriots that way
The giant vessels sail the deep,
And bring us doodads made abroad.
We buy such traps and fail to keep
Our money ON our native sod.
These ships take back our hard
earned cash
10 pay the freight for Europe's
kings;
To pay for battle succotash
And stuff We grow at home, by
jings.
My wife's new lid was made in
And tbs a phony thing indeed;
The broadcDloth in my Sunday pants
Was manufactured by Tweed
Whe sauce the grocer sent today
Was brought from London in a
crate;
1t costs like blitzen-I must pay
The duty added to the freight.
We, sing our patriotic songs
And boost the flag and seldom
cease;
Bus when we want gargoyles or
gongs
We ship them in from Southern
Greece.
And as | write hundred barks
Bring curlyoues across the foam:
Oh, profit by these sage remarks
And learn to buy your junk al
home.

You must give up slothful habits;
You must carry messages without

Take them to the woodland, Hurry;
Make haste quickly, Rabbits; Scurry
And take care you do not lose one

And the rabbits were not lazy.

CRAZY,
AS they swiftly jumped DER brier,

Do you ask what news they carried?
None we're sick nor no one married
But they shouted, Spring is COM

The Party In The Attic.

|
All was confusion in the attic.
Mr.. and Mrs Rat were giving par
ty. Such running and playing and
darting about you never saw.
Father and Mother Rat had been
busy for two days bringing eatables
from the pantry, and such feast
as they had.
Little Shiny was only a baby rat.
He had never been far away from,
his home. Tonight he was enjoying
himself very much.
Most of the rats had brought
their children and such fun as
they had They had played every
game they could think OF whep
Shiny said: Let's see what we can
find
The rest agreed and without say
ing a word to their parents they
scampered away
| Down-down-do they went
not knowing where they were going,
and where do you think they came
out?'
Why right behind the kitchen
cupboard. The room was filled with
the SMELL of good things to eat
and they shifted the air.
Round and round they went but
they didn't find anything to eat.
Then one said: Let's play hide"
So away they went helter-skelter
Anyone but baby rats would have
known better than to make such a
noise right in some onels kitchen.
AS they were running here and
there the door opened and a lady
came in. Why, here are a dozen
little rats" she exclaimed.
Shiny was right by the door as
she opened it and he slipped
through into another room. He
could hear the other rats scramb-
ling to get to the hole behind the
cupboard.
just as Shiny thought he was
safe the woman came into the room
where he was and someone else
came in At another door.
Shiny hid behind the leg of a
stool. How the poor little baby rat
wished his mother was there to help
him. He was too badly frightened
to move. /.
Suddenly the lady looked under
the stool. Shiny's wits came to him
then, and he was off Hike a shot.
Shiny never knew exactly how
it happened but as he went through
the door it shut and caught his
tail
1t hurt dreadfully but he tugged
and pulled until he got loose but
when he reached the hole he found
he'd left THE tip OF his tail behind.
When his mother saw him she
was so frightened she could hardly
speak.
] She took him In her arms and
