A Mouse ON n Spree.

A mouse recently invited itself in-
to lady's chambep and found upon
her toilet table a small vial of whiskey,
which it is but fair to say, the lady
used for the beueft Of her crimps.
The vial was stoppered with paper
cork, and finally succeeded in drawing
it, and then regaled itself with what
the paper had absorbed. Under the
stimulus thus secured it had made its
presence in the room very evident,
and a careful search for it was prompt
ly instituted. 1t was soon discovered
in drawer OF a bureau, stretched at
tull. length on comfortable bed. dead
drunk. When it was removed and
thrown upon the ground, the shock
restored it to partial consciousness
and to a staggering effort of locomo.
tion. Moral: 1t is not safe even to
smell the cork on whiskey bottle.

He sent to London for standard

pirouette came In front OF Sankey,
whose head she stroked, Goshen, the
giant, who dreams Of the day when

word he had never seen anything 10
tho show line equal TO that trained
yoke of oxen. "They are such honest,

have seemed rs natural for him to
have picked the oxen up as for Mad.
Nelson to have picked up one Of her
trained doves, but he merely tapped
tho animal fondly upon the head. The
keeper Of the trained oxen ran out
and the animals trotted after him,
playfally mking each others horns.
Mr.. White seized his whip and ran
after them, made a bow to the audi
ence, turned TO his oxen, and with q
sweep of his whip, both Moody and
Sankcy dropped on their knees, in
which position they followed him
around tho ring. Then Sankey lay
down and Moody jumped over him
sideways, and then jumped over his
back. Then Sankcy went up the
see.saw board backward, until he
reached the center, where he balanced
himself until Moody had placed all
fours upon the board. Then Saukey
backed, Moody leaned forward, and
they began to go up ard down while
the band played "Swcet Little Butter
cup" Then the oxen climbed the
wooden steps to the tune OF "Falr
Moon to Thee Sing" and the per
formance ended with lively waltz.
The oxen trotted back to their tent,
and were led around to their bed Of
hay, among the wild beasts. "Atter

"IIayen't, eh Well, I suppose
they have missed few.
