Mr. Ralbit Explains. One afternoon in the early spring Mr. Jack Rabbit and his friends were out for an airing. The I1 io low Tree people were along, 111 Mr. Turtle, as usual. By and by they came to a log under a large tree and sat down for a sinoke and talk. They talked about the weath er at first, and other things, till somebody mentioned Easter. Tht \ all had something to say about that. "What I object to,'' siid .\l. Rabbit, when it catme his turn u. talk, "is this thing of people il ways saying that the Easter eg belong to tie.'' "Ohi, but that's justa loke. said Mr. Coon, laughin-. "I know it's just a jke of coursc but it's a pretty old joke. ano I u. tired of it," said Jack Rabbit. "How did it get st.uited. .:\ way ?"rsked Nir. 'Possumn. Then Mr. Rabbit took hs pi pe. out of his otith and leaned for ward a little so lie could talk bet ter. "I'll tell you how it got started,' he said, ''and after that I don't wtant to hear any- more of it. This is how it happened: "Once upon a time, as much as twenty grandmothers back. I shou d think, there was a very nice fann of Zabbits that lived inl a gras\ place on a hillside back of a bi farmyard. There was quite a hole in the ground there and they had a cozy home in it and a so:t bed for their little folk. Now every bright normilg father and mother Rabbit used t,) take the children out for a wa. - and for a few lessons in rmne and hiding fromN Mr. Dw W bothered about a good de one day as they were ce they heard a great c when thev got to te Was a wo c a a thins ih he.'ie pe.

'"It was a nice b)lue egg whie:i ,he got through with it, and the nex day w~hien they all cam back frin their walk again there was anothei white egg right by it. The old hen had been there again and laid another while they were gone. Th'le next little girl claimed that egg. of course, and she p)aintedl it a b)right yellow with btittercup jutice. Then the next day there w~as another egg, and( thme next day there w~as another egg, and the next day there w~as another egg, until there was one a piece for every one of the children, and some over. '"And they all painted them Some painted theirs pink or r. d with rose-leaves or Japonica, some painted them yellow with butter cups, and somec blue or purple with violets, ast the first little girl had done. They had so many at last that it crowded them otut of their bed and they had to sleep ont the floor. "And then one Sabbath, and it must have been Easter Sabbath, they all went out walking again and when the'y camne back every one of those beautiful colored eggs w~as gone! The children cried and mndt a great fuss, but it was no use. Some of Mr. Man's boys ouit hunt. ing hens' nests had found them and taken them all home with themi "'And of course all those colored eggs set Mr. Man to wondering, and he came with his boys to the place where they had found themt; and whzen they looked in, out ju'uiped the whole Rat.bit family, heltt.r skelter in every dhmectiun. "'And right theni," said Mr R lb bit, leaning over to light his pipe from Mr. 'Possum's-" right therm Mr. Man declared those col, red eggs were rabbit eggs, amid he's kept on saying so ever sinee; though he knows better, amid he ktiows I don't like -it. He takes eggs and colors them himself now, and makes them believe they're mine , aid lie puts my pictures all over things about Easter time. I suppose lhe thinks I don't care, but I do, and -I wish that little Miss R i' * I' g ndmothers ba k had left that old hen's egg white as she f . ii it ''I too had," said Mr. Crow. 'I's like that story they tell about the fox making me drolp the chcese," "Or like Mr. Maan making be 'ieve that the combs he uses are realv made out of my shell," said \l in tie. ir.
