rabbit that Maggie would not have
been much surprised had the rabbits
nose begun to wiggle.
Well. of course, she would have been
surprised. but not so very, very much
surprised
Maggie had also been given a choco-
late rabbit which had a little choco-
late pack on his back.
That rabbit had not had a ribbon tied
around his neck, for he was supposed
to be dressed for work. while the
beautiful rabbit which was Maggie's IA
vorite had a handsome lavender rib
bon around his neck and a lavender
rosette on one side.
OF course the other rabbit wasn't
really going to do any work.
He was going to be eaten. But he
was dressed that way so as to look
like a worker in his chocolate way.
Then Maggie had been given another
rabbit, a little one with a little straw
basket on his back which was filed
with eggs of different colors in which
were marshmallow filings.
Maggie had eaten those first of all,
though she had shared them with the
rest of her family, too.
Oh. yes, Maggie shared everything
she had. Even though she was so
devoted to sweets and chocolate and
good things to eat she was never in
the least scrap greedy.
She was just as generous as gener-
Gus could be, and was always giving
away things and going without her
self to do for others.
But she was very human. you see.
and loved the candy which she re-
ceived.
After Maggie had finished eating the
other chocolate gifts she had received
though most delicious nibbles had
been had by other members Of the
family-she was all ready 10 begin on
the handsome chocolate rabbit.
First. of all she ate a little from his
ears and shared his ears with a friend
who came to see her.
Delicious ears said Maggie.
"Simply delicious ears"
Still the beautiful ribbon was about
the chocolate rabbits neck and still
the rosette was in place.
But the rabbit looked quite strange
without his ears.
After the very next meal Maggie
said to the chocolate rabbit:
you poor dearl You do look very
mournful without your ears. l shall
certainly have to bite of your head.
and then you won't look so sad"
And Maggie Bit off the rabbits
head.
a scrumntlous head" said Maggie.
"A simply scrumptious head
After the next meal for it vas
after meals that Maggie ate of her
sweets Maggie decided she would
have the shoulders of the rabbit.
OF course the ribbon had come off
when Maggie had bitten the head off
and the ribbon was on the side of Mag
gie's doll bureau.
After Maggie had eaten the Shout
ders of the rabbit she said:
"Such good shoulders. Mercy me,
such good shoulders p
Before long the rabbit was lying on
his side, great holes now were bigger
than the rabbit himself-or what was
left Of him. In fact, he was hard to
recognize now. No one could have
been sure that he had been a rabbit.
And before very much longer the
rabbit was all gone.
Not only" said Maggie. the most
handsome chocolate rabbit I eve have
seer in all my life, but the most deli
cious chocolate rabbit, too; oh, yes,
the most delicious chocolate rabbit
possible"

Noted Speaker Cites In

Wealth
By John A. Nye

Washington-ln western Pennsyl-
vania there once lived a farmer who
made a study OF coal-oil. After be-
coming proficient in the subject lie
sold his farm for 1888. and went to
Canada to look for coal-oil. In a
stream near the barn, the new owner
OF the farm noticed plank set edge
wise across the current This was
the place where the coal oil expert
had watcred his cattle. The purpose
OF the plank was to divert to the other
side a peculiar looking scum through
which the cattle would not poke their
noses to drink. II was proved by
analysis to be almost pure coal oil.
The coal oil resources OF this farm
which sold for 1888, have since been
worth over a thousand million dollars
TO the state OF Pennsylvania.
In Massachusetts lived a student
of mineraloey His farm was bounded
by a stone fence. The gateway was
narrow because, in that locality, they
must be saving with space in order to
make room for the rocks. Selling The
farm for a small sum. the mineralogis
