Tales of the
Friendly Forest

The Pleasant Meadow was as
white as Mrs. Bunnys best table
cloth, and just as smooth. for it had
showed all night and the feathery
Snowflakes had fallen so softly that
when Billy Bunny looked out OF the
window he was surprised TO know
that a big snow storm had come dur
ing the night
so after breakfast he pulled on
his rubber boots and put on his ear
luuffs and his nice warm mittens and
then he slunB his knaksack over his
back, for he knew there were lots OF
nice things TO eat In that knapsack,
Yes, stree. lie knew that his mother
always filled 1t up with cakes and
sweets. | guess the little rabbit
knew that very morning his dear
mother had baked some lettuce
cakes. and Billy Bunny loved lettuce
cakes. Yes, indeed, he did, and so
would you and so would | IL we
could only get one. I'm sure.
Well, after he hoped along a lit
tie ways, he began TO sing a song,
and this Is the way II went:
Three little bunnies a-sliding went
on Il winters day,
The ice was thin, and two fell in.
And the other ran away
Cav, cav" said an old crow
from tree top. That's very fine
song, llttle rabbit"
We'll. II you think it's such a fine
song, throw me down an ice cream
pine cone" said Billy Bunny. But
the selfish old crow said he wanted
them for himself, and he threw
down IA SNOWFALL instead. which hit
the little rabbit on the tip Of his tail.
SO the little rabbit hoped away;
he wasn't going to stay there and
have snowballs thrown at him. No,
sireemam, he was not And pretty
soon, not SO very far, he saw Brownie
Mink creeping along by the Oil Mil
Pond.
Il have to be very careful these
winter days said the little mink.
Everybody wants TO wear furs In
the winter time, you know, and II
that dreadful Miller's Boy sees me,
he'll set trap and then he'll sell my
fur 10 make a muff!'
They set traps for me. too" said
the little rabbit. And Daddy Fox
and Old Man Weasel are always
after me. And Robber Hawk, too,
so you see you're not the only one
WHO Ilh5 W lObh OhN lOi
And then the little rabbit opened
his knapsack and took out a lovely
lollypop and gave II to Brownie
Mink, and asked him 10 come and see
him at the Old Brier Patch.
"I'll get Uncle Lucky to take us
far a ride in his Luckymobile," and
this pleased the little mink almost TO
pieces. for he'd never been riding in
a Luckymobile, and neither have |

some day we will IL we happen TO

The Absolutist government OF Ger

rulers have reason TO think that the
allies will negotiate only with a
German government which has

ALL ON THE SURFACE.

Tho predominating note Of the
German reply to President Wilson is
that the nation has been reformed.
They would have us believe that
Germany has had quiet revolution.
that autocracy has yielded por-
ton OF what is called its rights in
order. that the common people could
have a say-so in the government.
This revolution, according to the
view OF the New York Tribune, de
fies the law OF deviation, A true
revolution is the result OF pressure
from below. Discomfort deep down
within the iron frame OF government
becomes volcanic and bursts the op-
pressive container wide open. But

agents Of Mr.. Howard apparently
are trying TO create the impression
that his only qualification for con-
Ersss Ia President Wilson'S war rec
ord. which lot OF democratic
congressmen and statesmen did not
support or help to make. They ap-
parently make no claim for Mr..
Howard on his own account what
ever.
II that is all that Is necessary, why

we have all been making about

make the claim that democrats are
the only ones who will do equally
well In congress? Our impression
from reading the war ntws has been
that there hasn't been any partisan n
political talk among the boys on tho
firing line and that republicans were
doing Just a. good shooting as the
democrats. In fact there does not
appear to have been any difference
between them in that respect, All
are doing their level best rgardless
OF political or other differences Of
opinion. All the politics In this war
seems to be right here at home, II
there has been laying down on the

or among republicans here at home,

win this war even before America as
q nation got into 1t. Seems like II
rather cheap grade OF patriotism
that rises up now from nowhere and
declares that only democrats are
real patriots and supporters Of the
