Billy Bunny and His Friends

out from = little doghouse by the road
and said:Oh. please stop and take me
for a ride" And then he sat up on his
hindlegs and began to sing,
~Tramp, tramp. tramp! I've tramped
for many a mile;
I've tramped so long I must confess
my coat Is out OF style,
My hat has lost It's shady brlm,
MY hair is long and needs a trim,
These "Meatless Tuesdays" make me
slim.
So take me for ride. pray,
Or shall surely fade away"
Goodness me, but YOU are thin"
said kind Uncle Lucky. and he got out
Of the Inckymobile and helped the
tired Yellow Dog Tramp into the rear
seat, and then he honked the horn and
away they went to a beefsteak restuar-
ant, where the generous old gentleman
rabbit bought the Yellow Dog Tramp
a big Delmonico steak, and after that
they all got into the Luclzymobile and
rode away.
And after they had hooked over the
Clover Patch, but Of coure there wasn't
any clover growing yet, they started off
for Uncle Gucky's house, and when they
got there they found something dread
full had happened. Yes. sir! I Just hate
to tell you what 1t was, for II their is
anybody I love it's dear Uncle Lucky
that is, next 10 Billy Bunny Of course.
But you must walt until the next story
to hear what 1t was, for my telephone
bell has just rung and Robbie Read
breast wants to talk to me.

How do you do, Billy Bunny?' said
the little Field Mouse who you remem :
Der in the last story wanted to rent
beautiful clover patch.
I'm very WE'LL" replied the little
your clover patch?"
II want ono hundred carrots cents q

when when Billy Bunny opened his
knapsack he could only find eighty
seven and one half cents.
"Oh, dear me-" he said "T must call
up dear Uncle Lucky" So he asked the
Field Mouse to let him use the phone,
and as soon as he called up o o o let
tuceville Mr.. Lucky Left Hindfoot
came to the phone and when he heard
what his little bunny nephew wanted
he said: "I'll be right over in the
Luckymobile with bushel basket full
of carrot cents!' For Uncle Lucky was
very rich, and that's the reason every
body called him Uncle Lucky, for It's
lucky to be rich, I'm told.
Well, pretty soon not so very long,
Uncle Lucky arrived. and it didn't take
long to pay the carrot money, let me
tell you. and the old gentleman rabbit
and Billy Mummy hoped into the
Luckymobile, and rode off to look over
the clover patch.
But they had only gone little ways
when the Yellow Dog Tramp, who you
remember some twenty-three stories
and half ago had gone back to YER

Of experience but has been fooled. AND
| if he Is @ man Of prudence and shreWd-
ness, he does. not pretend to anticipate
the disclosure Of results, but simply
awaits her decision.
On that very account frequently the
practical man Is really a poor Judge
Of men. Depending on results to re-
veal what a man Is, he does not at
tempt to reveal what a man Is, he
does not attempt seriously to assay
critically a human proposition in ad-
vance He hasn't the time and he isn't
interested in his business, and he has
small interest in human nature. except
as concomitant to business. And even
when he has arrived at a correct esti-
mate Of a mans economic assets and
commercial morality, he usually leaves
out Of the account, because not direct
" concerned with it, the rest OF the
character.
1t Is amusing to hear q successful
business man setting down his success
to his uncanny knowledge Of men. His
|success most likely is due to his knowl-
edge Of some manufacture, or to his
sense for values but as for his 5udg-
ment OF human beings. one would rath-
er have the opinion Of sharp Tam

fashioned that. If we are keen in one
direction, we f1atter ourselves we are
keen in another. A great general like
Grant wanted to be a great business

Genius, too. has looked into human
character and seen something. But

AS TO PIGS IN TOWN.


In one Indiana town they have let
down the bars to pig raisers. That is
a foolish thing to do. A city is not a
place for pigs, even if the pigs are to
be scrubbed daily which Of course will
not be done. Nor is there any profit in
raising pigs in town. Some theorists
may sit down and figure it out for you,
but they are clear off. A pig has to eat
and he eats a lot. The left over things
Of the kitchen ought not to be enough
to keep him alive. There ought not to
be such left overs now. 1t is sin to
carry enough out Of the kitchen to
feed a pig. Human food ought not to
be so wasted. And when the town man
buys corn for his pig he will find that
his pork will cost him more than he
pays for 1t now. The farmers who
have been trying to buy corn to feed
to hogs are not elated over their re-
turns. And on the farms, 1t must be
remembered, there is a great deal for
pigs to pick up. They live half the
where is the town man to get his pas
turage for his pig?
There have been a few advocates
here of letting down the bars for pigs,
but they may rest assured that they
would simply be fouling up their yards
and the city with no returns that are
adequate. Nine-tenths of the wouid-be
pig keepers would be financially and
otherwise sick Of their jobs. There Is
nothing to the idea. Let the pigs be
left to the farmers. If you want to
help a bit in town keep a few chickens
and you will find that they
almost can be kept at work on
what is left in your kitchens. or keep
a pretty lamb, If you have patch or
grass. A lamb is a decent sort of
creature for a lawn and the children
do not mind playing with one.
