A PLEA FOR BUNNY

Victims of Heredity
It has been shown that criminal
tendencies depend on heredity and so
cial and physiological circumstances
The most important of these is hered
ity Just as no amount of ambition
will enable a man to write a Shake
spearean drama if he have not the
talent so it is preposterous to expect
in a child of vicious parents brought
up among vicious surroundings that
moral tone which would characterize
the finest type of humankind Strand

Threatened by Modernism
Now that certain clubs and organiza
tions are trying to bring about a gen
eral vole to serve Santa Claus with
notice to quit It looks as though the
Easter bunny would he sent hopping
after him
Theres something sad In all this at
tack upon the legends of childish days
Even the good old prayer Now I lay
me which most of us are sentimental
enough to believe can never be Im
proved upon Is Inveighed against the
charge being that one line of it is full
of the bugaboo of death and the rest
of it too utterly childish
The Easter bunny seems harmless
enough and the interest of the chil
dren Is so wonderful the anxiety for
fear that some stupid grownup may
come along and shut tho window down
tight instead of leaving the necessary
crack for the bunny to creep in
through and the breathless rush to
Inspect the nests which have been so
mysteriously built in odd corners
Wonderful eggs are In those nests
pink and lavender blue and red with
chocolate for the best of all and a gen
erous lot of little sugar eggs the kind
that are speckled all over filling In
odd corners
Children arent always deceived by
these legends and the deceit isnt the
kind that does harm any more than a
bit of poetry does a grownup Its a
treat to the imagination and a childs
Imagination craves its treats as surely
as we older children do
Leave your window on a crack the
night before Easter if theres a child
in the house and provide yourself with
plenty of eggs to help tho bunny as
you helped Santa Claus Its the days
which some mystical personage influ
ences that are the bright particular
memories in later years St Louis

Trading as a Fine Art
A grocery store in Nelson Lanca
shire was managed by a colliers wife
One night the good woman was com
pelled to leave the shop for a short
time in charge of her husband giving
