here in a little while to put money in
your bank. They just told me So"
"Ha, hal" laughed the old gentle
man rabbit, Hope it will hold it all.
Carrot Cents and Pumpkin Pennies
take up. lots of room. But let them
ali come. The more the merrier."
AS he pulled in his head, taking
care not to brush off his precious old
wedding stovepipe hat, Henny Jenny
hoped round the corner. In the little
basket in place of the pretty white
eggs lay heap Of Carrot Cents,
which jingled and tinkled as the little
hen tripped happily up to the front
door of Uncle Izacky's Saving Bank.
"I'll be out in minute" she ex-
planned to the little rabbit. II must
first put my money in the bank"
and through the open door she
hoped and up to the little window
at which stood the bunny cashier
with pen behind his long furry ear.
Hello, little hen, have you counted
the money.
Or will you depend on a cashier

down "102 Carrot Cents" Then said
with a smile and a toss of her pretty
red coral comb. That's right; good
bye,"' and out she hoped to talk to
the little rabbit.
The next minute in walked Peter
Pig with a roll of Lettuce Leaf Dol
lar Bills in his hand. These he gave
to the cashier. who It once marked in
the pass book: "23 Lettuce Leaf Dol

Pig to talk to Little Jack Rabbit, al
most humping into Squirrel Nut
cracker on his way to place his money
in Uncle Lucky's Savings Bank.
Just then a great noise arose out
side the bank whats the trouble
now?" thought Uncle Lucky, looking
out. of the window. There at the
front door stood the Ragged Rabbit
Giant, doing his utmost to squeeze
through the doorway. And in the
next story you shall hear what hap

possessor of a fortune amounting TO
three hundred millions, went to his
death for his religious faith. He had
a boil on his neck. The King of

and advised the boil be lanced. The
potentate paid the fee. about $4,000,

have it lanced. A few days later he
died from septic poisoning-but he

ON THE WHOLE ENCOURAGING

The news reports indicate that on
the whole the business situation Is
encouraging. The Associated Press
finds that business emerging from q
rather restricted spring activity en-
ters the summer cycle with condi-
tions in most lines Of industry gen.
orally described as fair. There is
noted an absence Of speculative ex-
cesses. For the past three weeks
steel production has held close to 7C
per cent Of capacity and railroad
conditions are said to offer few op-
portunities for fault finding"
Abroad the hopes Of early spring
are not materializing encouragingly
although labor conditions in Eng
land show little improvement and
Italy. where people work and are
thrifty, has been able to secure from
the house of Morgan credit, to the
amount of fifty millions. Altogether
the United States capital lenders
have placed at the disposal Of for
eign governments nearly half a bill
lion dollars to enable those govern
ments to sustain their currencies
France right now is having difficulty
In doing this and the franc has taken
another tumble.
With regard to our trade develop
ment abroad it is significant that
while our exports to Europe have
expanded since 1914 approximately
81 per cent, the exports to all other
parts Of the world have expanded
l4s per cent. Our imports from
Asia and South America have in
creased enormously.

Well, little boys and girls, I'm so
glad that the seven canary birds
didn't fly away when the Ragged
Rabbit Giant took them out of his
pocket to show them to Little Jack
Rabbit, as l mentioned in the last
story. Instead they flew round in a
circle for maybe minute or three.
then settling on the brim of the
giants old torn hat, began to sing:
whoever buys us we hope will be
Full of love for bird and tree;
Fond of flowers and beautiful things,
And fond of the song a little bird
sings" q
"Come, little ones; nestle in my
pockets" whispered the Giant, Il
must be off to the Three One Cent
Store. There are many little boys
and girls who have asked Mother for
a Canary Bird They must not be
disappointed" and away strode the
big tall rabbit man around the cor
ner.
Just then dear Uncle Lucky looked
out of the window. "I'll be out in
few minutes. Are you getting tired
waiting?"

:. Charles Farwell Edison
AS SHERMAN SAW 1T

When General Sherman was
marching through Georgia, execrated
by the Southerners because he was
breaking the Industrial backbone OF
the Confederacy. he wrote letter
to a lady of Southern family whom
he had known from boyhood.
This letter has recently been made
public and it reveals the spirit Oh
that great commander at the very
time when it became his duty to give
what amounted to the Knockout
blow to the Rebellion. He had en-
joyed the hospitality and the friend
ship Of Southerners, some of when
We're reviling him as "a vandal and
monster and it Is evident the stern
old warrior was touched to the quick,
but the faith that man "must sub
nit to some arbiter'. that he must
not throw off his allegiance to his
government or his God without just
reason persisted. He was nerved
for a task, of which he says: Even
yet my heart bleeds when see the
carnage of battle, the desolation of
homes, the bitter anguish Of families,
but the very moment the men OF the
South say that instead Of appealing
to war, they should have appealed
to reason, to our Congress. to our
courts, to religion and to the exper-
ience Of history, then will I say
Peace ="
Some apparently think that such
grim realities. such rigorous de-
mands for staunch souls, who recog-
nize that there must be duly consti-
tuted authority that it must receive
respect and allegiance If society Is
to hold together, are no longer need
ed in the present-day scheme Of
things. It requires no prophet to
foresee sad disillusionment for such.
But If the world does profit from
experience-and to assume 1t doesn't
is to assume that civilization is a
failure-it would seem that we
should be more capable in 1925 than
we were in 1861 of appealing to rea-
son, to the. experience Of history If
not to religion and the law.
There is evidence that we are, but
it may ,be doubted If those who now
are attempting to block a world
court. for instance, who are reluct-
ant to recognize that we cannot sue
cessfully isolate ourselves from the
effort to broaden the application of
reason and law to the relations of
peoples, are Of that number.
1t is step. to be sure, but it is
in the right direction and to go that
way first step must be taken,
Those who stopped their ears to rea-
son and the appeal Of progress had
their Sherman and their Grant to
face sixty years ago.
