FABMER. BROWN! 30! PEEPARES A TEST

The keen of Wit will strive his boat To meet the most exacting test. -Old Mother Nature.

Farmer Brown's Boy is very road or striped Chipmunk, even though the latter had carried off the only pair of his white ahoelacea. On his part, striped Chipmunk knows that Farmer Brown's Boy is his Iriend and trusts him at all times. He does not hesitate to take lood from the hand of Farmer Brown's Boy, 'and the latter takes hnn many treats.

Then he cut more string into short lengths. He tied one end of one of these lengths to a peanut.

"He will be sure to find those. and when he tastes them, he'll go looking ior more," said he to Mo- ther Brown.
