"I always {have more to bring home than I take with me."” The old, gentleman was delighted when Jimmy Rabbit came back lat- er with a hop, skip and a jump and set a fine box upon the ground. It was a big, round, tin box with a handle on the top of it. It painted white and bore gold upon its side “That’s a beauty!” cried Uncle Jerry Chuck.

Uncle Jerry scrambled to his feet and ran all the way home, leaving his traveling case behind him. The next time he met Jimmy Rab. bit he was very cool. And the next time he met old Mr. Crow, the way he scolded was something shocking. (Copyright 1922, by Metropolitan Newspaper Service).
