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

thinking what trouble it wasci:'
to cause our fat:ily forever after.
'"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

eggs were rabbit eggs, amid

the men who, make our laws would
be the better of more active and
loyal support of the moral element
of their constituency. We elcect
them and thei turn them over to
the arts and devices of the baser
sort--often without encouragement
in well-doing, and only biting criti
cism of what meets with our disap- t
proval. We, would better make
careful selection of our representa
tives, seeing that none of them I
are afilicted with moral curvation
of the spine, or epileptic integrity
of character; and pdrhaps the legis- '
lation upon great' moral as well as d
economic issues will be n:)re in ac
cord with righteousness.

'If you saw it there, it must be

John goes to the corn house, and
presently returns r. ith a small axe
in his hand.
"Oh, it was the axe I saw. The
handle was sticking out from a half
bushel measure. I thought it was
the hammer."'
''Well don't be too certain an

'Yes, father, but I really did
think I saw it, or I should not have
said so."
"But you said positively that you
did see it, not that you thought you
sawv it. There is a great dlifference
between the two answers. Do not
permit yourself to make a positive

A minister had a call from a
country parish to a large and

asked time for prayer and consider

answered the boy, judiciously,
