About' two- years ago'the superintendent

one was to bring- lunch baskets. (That
was the principal part.)
The men built the tables real long- so
that fill tho children could eat at once.
The superintendent told us there would
be a train to take everybody to the
grounds. Everyone wondered about the
train. Well, what do you suppose the
train was? It wao a large threshing ma
chine engine pulling five or six wagons
with liayracks. The wagons were tilled
mostly with women and children.
The engine started, puffing and whls
ufllng at every post and corner, trying

After dinner there waa a ball game, in
which the superintendent and teachers
played.

gram. It started at half past three. The
room that sold the most tickets got a
picture. We received the picture, the
a cents for lour aays. rnore was a.
large crowd each day. We had our pic

Hares and Rabbits.
By Harold Bichel, Aged 11 Years, Glen
wood, la. Bed Side.
The hare does not burrow In the ground
like ther rabbit, but makes a sort of nest
in the grass, In which it crowds with
Its ears along Its back. It will often
lie qufet until the foot of an enemy al
most touches It. Foxes, wolves, ferre'ts,
bears' and eagles all prey upon the hare.
Nevertheless it is often able to escape
because of Its quickness, of sight and
hearing, The hare la the color of dry
leaves or bark. There, are different
kinds of hares, such as the Belgian hare
and the Alpine hare. The Alpine hare
turns white in the winter time.
Tho rabbit resembles the hare, but Is
somewhat smaller in size. It lives In
deep burrows In the ground. It has a
nest at the end of the hole, the nests
aro lined with fur torn from the mother's
own body. The outer nest is made of
ry leaves and dead grass. The mother
rabbit has young ones about every six
weeks. The young rabbits resemble lltv
pink mice. They are about three weeks
old when they come out of their .hole,
They are about the size of tiny kittens.
There are many different kinds of rab
bits, such as the Angora, the French, the
illver and the dwarf rabbits, but they
ire all descended from the same grand
parents.

I turned around and saw htm, I told him
to go home and he started to run back,
