day when Mama and Papa Hare had
gone out to gather food, Tiny Hare
ran away to the home where the cat
lived.
Now this cat saw him at once, and
she would have eaten him had it not
been for one thing. The cat was
Ion ely for her two little kitties that
had been taken away from her, and
maybe drowned. So instead of eat
ing the baby rabbit, the cat picked
him up by the back of his neck. She
took him in the house and put him
in the box where her own little ba-
bies used to be.
1t is thousand wonders she didn't
eat him feet and all. But she be-
gan merely to wash him with her
tongue, hard, all over.
The little rabbit was scared to
death. He felt that he would never
get home alive. However, the cat
was kind, and when a dog came up
and barked loudly at Tiny Hare, Miss
Pussy put claw on his nose. Then
the man came over to look at the cat
In her box well, WELL" said he, "a
hare for baby cat. Do you mean to
eat 1t, Puss?"
"Purr. purr. purr," said the cat.
and Tiny Hare did not like to hear
her purr and he said, she will eat me
now" and how he did Wish he was
at home. Cat washed him from head
to feet. and from feet to head, and
she gave him wee bite now and

went out, and then the cat too.
When the cat was gone. Tiny Hare
jumped out of that box in a second,
and ran out of the door and leaped
home to his mama as fast as he could.
When he got there, he snuggled up
close to her, and he said: II will be

Would Aunt AIMS children love to
hear this little story? Then here
it is:
A mother rabbit told her little tiny
baby he must not go anywhere near
the cat, because the cat would eat
a baby rabbit right up. This little
hare was very unmindful of his
mothers advice, though, because he
was so anxious to see the cat that

food ran short. Before the winter
was over more than half of the col
onists had died from exposure and
hunger. But the Pilgrims were brave
people and tried to bear it all. Spring
was soon near and brought them
good crops. The nearest tribe was
friendly to the settlers. A few years
before the Pilgrims came there a
pestilence had taken off a large
number of their tribe. and the In
dams believed that the calamity had
been inflicted upon them in punish

their coast. So they thought they

your letters must be handled by
skilled mail distributors standing in

which causes postoffice clerks and
letter carriers to stop and study, and
thus lose time. Make the address
plain and easily read, and always
use pen and ink or typewriter and
light-colored envelopes. so as to save
the eyes of the postoffce clerks. Do
not use envelopes of unusual size.
The little ones that are so frequently
used for cards and notes at Christ

untold amount of trouble and labor,
as they will not fit our canceling ma

colonists had a good crop and big
harvest. They planned a feast
which was afterward known as the
first Thanksgiving.
The Pilgrims had come to America
to worship God as they pleased, and
they did.
The men went out and killed wild
game. while the women were busy
preparing pies. cakes and such things
as that. They also invited the In
dams. In the morning they all went
to church for morning services.
When they came back the women
served the dinner. Then the men
smoked the peace pipe. Then they
played games and had races, wres-
ting. jumping. shooting matches and
dances. Then they told jokes. When
all was over they. planned for cele-
bration for the next year, and this
custom has been followed year after
year, until today we have our own
Thanksgiving Day.
