rel. You may be sure Of that" he told
her.
Now, 1t happened that on his way
home he was called in to Mrs. Rabbit
house to see her new babies, and Mr..
Fox told her that her children were by
far the prettiest he ever had seen. 1.-THE
very prettiest in the woods, Mrs. Rab-
bit ~ he told her.
The next day Mr.. Fox heard that
some new little possums had been
brought to Mrs. Possum by the stork,
so over ran Mr.. Fox to call, for said
he, 1.-The best way to keep on good
terms with my neighbors is to praise
the children to their mothers"
He told Mrs. Possum that her chill
dren were the prettiest in the WOODS
and when Mrs. Coon sent for him to
see her new babies Mr.. Fox told her
the same thing.
Mrs. Porcupine and Mrs. Badger
also received call from Mr.. Fox, and
were told that no children in the
woods could compare with their new
babies, so that each mother thought
her children the prettiest babies, fol-
not one told to the other the nice
things Mr.. Fox had said.
All would have gone well with Mr.
Fox if Mrs. Squirrel had not been anx
ious that every one should know thai
her babies were considered the pret
tiest and proposed that they should
hold baby show and have Mr. Fox fn5
the Judge. ~
To this, of course, ali the mothers
agreed, for each one was sure her
babies would get the prize.
Mrs. Squirrel frisked over to Mr..

roNs house to tell him the news.
OF course" she said, at will be a
great disappointment to the others
"hen you tell them that my children
are the prettiest, but it cannot be
helped. Some one must have the pret-
uest babies, and any one with half an
eye can see that mine are far ahead
OF all the other wood children"
Mr.. Fox smiled a sickly smile when
ne heard this and said, of course, he
would be proud and pleased to be the
judge, but as soon as it was dark that
night he took his valise-he did not
stop for trunk or his household
goods-and out of the woods he went,
far away over the hills, and never did
he show himself there again.
Well he knesv what would happen
to him If he went to that baby show
and picked out the prettiest babies,
and he did not intend to take any
such risk.
When Mr.. Fox did not show up Mr..
Owl was called upon to judge, but
being very wise bird he told the
mothers that he could not see well
enough in the daytime to give an
honest opinion, and so the mothers
went home each sure that her chill
dren were the prettiest babies in the
world. (Copyright)

great many lives.
With the introduction of phosgene the
