The Truce of the Beechnuts.
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
There's a time for work and 4 time for play !;
There's q time to cat and to run away.
Old Mother Nature.
When two or more enemies agree
to be at peace for short time it Is
said to be a truce. If one should at
tack another without warning he
would be breaking the truce. Over in
the Green Forest under the beech trees
there was a truce, the bechnut truce
they called it, among the big and lit
tie people gathered there to search
for the little, sweet, brown nuts hid
den among and under the leaves on
the ground.
No one knew how it had started,
unless it was wise Old Mother Ma
ture, but it had. been SO each year
since any could remember. Always
when the little, sweet. brown. three
sided nuts fell, those who liked them
gathered there to feast, and while
the feast lasted the smaller people
! had no fear of the big. At least 1t
seemed that way.

you know it. This is the truce Of
the beechnuts and there will be no
killing here"
Old Man Coyote sat down at safe
distance and grinned fooiishly. He
knew that Buster Bear spoke truly,
and as long as Buster and Mrs. Bear
were there he would not dare try
again to catch anybody. Buster
shuffied back and began to nose about
among the leaves like nothing SO
much as a great black pig. and all
the other little people went about
their business Of hunting for those
little. sweet, brown nuts just as if
nothing had happened.
