that intelligent readers of today like to be amused

his muskrat lady housekeeper one aft

thinking, rather sadly, that he had had
no adventure that day.
"Well, you may have your supper

"Now all you II have to do will be to
hop over in the field and pick some
red raspbcrries which are growing
there.
"Oh, you want me to pick the ber-
ries?n asked the bunny.
"Yes," replied the muskrat lady
housekeeper. "And while you are out
you might as well squeeze some juice
from the milkweed plant and use it for
cream on your berries
"Shall climb a tree and pick off
the maple sugar, also''' asked Uncle
Wiggily, gently like and with somewhat

No sooner said than done. Uncle

on which grew a large red berry, al
most like the bunny s nose.
"Here | ami - cried Uncle Wiggily.

away under the bushes, crouching low
so the briars would not catch in his fur.
