(IV:
BILLY PIG’S BRAVERY.
Billy Pig was walking down the
road one day when he saw on the
other side of the road all the Plggie
Browns huddled together by the wall.
“What is the matter?” asked Billy
Pig.
“We saw a big dog and we hid so he
wouldn't see us,” answered Spotty
Brown, who seemed to be braver than
his brothers and stood in front of the
frightened group.
"Afraid of a dog," laughed Billy
Pig. "I wouldn’t be afraid Of three
dogs if they came right here this
minute.
“Oh, Billy Pig, what a brave fellow
you are," cried all the Plggie Browns,
gathering around Billy Pig; “I hope
we will be as brave as you when we
grow up.”
Billy Pig felt very brave as he stood
there with all the Piggie Browns ad
mlrlnk him, but if he had known that
on the other side of the wall Billy
Goal had been peeking through, and
had heard the boast he had made, he
would have run home in a hurry.
Billy Goat almost laughed out loud
when Billy Pig boasted, but he kept
quiet and decided that he would prove
to the Plggie Browns just how brave
Billy Pig was.
He ran to the farmhouse where he
i...
lived and got Rover, the big dog, to
come with him to the wall where Billy
Pig was boasting of his bravery to the
Piggie Browns.
"1 want you to make the very worst
growl you can," he told Rover, "and
then Jump over the wall right into the
midst of them.
COTTON, A "SMALL FARMERS’
CROP.”
It Is common to associate the term
"cotton-planter" with large posses
sions, wealth, and prominence. The
truth is that the bulk of the cotton
crop is raised by men who rent or own
c< niparatively few acres, In Teotas,
vv here approximately one-third pf the
American crop is raised, most of the
farmers cultivate less than twenty
acres of land. More than 90 per cent
of these farmers are whites In Mis
sissippi there are 110.440 farms owned
or operated by negroes. In the Caro
lina;. the vast majority of the farms
are small and the farmer is a white
man. The old-time planter of lordly
domain and feudal retinue is gone
There ar» some great plantations re
maining. hut most of them are con
ducted hv coporatlons The present
day 'planter" is not a farmer, but a
merchant or financier He owns the
lend and rents It to the real farmer,
usually for a share of the crop or for
a certain sum per acre. The renter
hues through him everything tn the
form of clothing, food or household
or farming supplies. To finance a
group of "enters from one season to
another requires considerable money
The planter necessarily Is a large
purchaser of many kinds of goods am)
By Tad
"Then I will be coming down the
road and chase you away. Billy Pig
needs a lesson and the Piggie Browns
will think I am a brave fellow instead
of Billy Pig."
Rover was a big shaggy black dog
and he could growl like distant thun
der, and a few minutes later he gave a
fierce growl just as Billy Pig was tell
ing the Piggie Browns about how he
once scared a bear.
Billy Pig began to tremble when he
heard a sound like Old Black Wolf,
and the little Plggie Browns huddled
close to Billy Pig because he was so
brave.
"Oh, what Is it, Billy Pig?" they
asked. “Do you think it could be Old
Black Wolf himself? You will save
us, won’t you, because you are not
afraid of him and let us hide behind
you.’”
But Billy Pig had no intention of
hiding any one. He waited until he
heard the growl again, and just as he
saw a head come above the wall he
turned and ran. The poor little Pig
gie Browns were so frightened they
could not run, and they huddled to
gether, trembling with fright.
“What is the matter?” asked Billy
Goat, running toward them. "Don’t be
afraid; I will protect you.”
“Oh, Mr. Billy Goat,” cried the
Piggie Browns, running to him, "there
Is a dreadful animal on the other side
of the fence. We just saw his head,
and he growls just like Old Black
Wolf. Billy Pig said he was not afraid
but he ran away and left us. Oh!
save us, please save us;’’
“Of course I will save you. Wait a
minute and I will drive away this
dreadful creature that Is frightening
you.”
Billy Goat climl-reff'to the top of the
wall and .jj.rfiiped over. Rover, how
ever*..h*»B gone, for while he was wlll
■irric to help Billy Goat he was not will
ing to let him butt him for the pleas
ure of showing how brave he was;
and when Billy Goat said he would
drive away the dreadful creature,
Rover took to his heels and ran across
the field toward home.
Billy Goat butted the ground and
made all the noise he could while the
frightened Piggie Browns waited on
the other side of the wall, thinking
how brave their rescuer was.
“Did you kill him?” they asked Billy
Goat when he jumped down beside
them.
“Oh! no, I did not do that,” he re
plied.' "1 gave him a good whipping
and sent him home. He will not come
around here again. I can assure you.”

And says that things will be all
right,
Although he'll tell you In a trice
That his own heart Is far from light.
Perhaps he got but little rest
And all night tossed from side to

Terhaps the sorrow in his breast
Is due to more than sleep denied.
Whate'er the woe that weighs him
down,
To you he talks of cheerfulness.
Although tls true misfortunes frown
And still Increasing troubles press.
And so he goes his way through life
Until at last his grave he reaches.
