I0olden Daysl
A merchant, whose store is on Alabama
street: IN Atlanta; es;, had one Of the most
BIRDS name We Billy. He could sing great
number Of songs, his favorites being "The
Elephants Walked the Rope and "STis But
Little Faded Flower" Frequently he
would initiate shrili whistle of policeman.
store. But the most interesting thing con-
nected with Billy was HE operate perform
snces before &C audience of mice. The cage
would b placed in the middle of . certain
room In the store, and the human spectators
would quietly watch through Q window
whistle, something like the cali from Q tiny
SILVER Duele. The spectators would soon see
the bead OF mouse come slowly up from q
hole in the corner of the room; Q second
mouse would appear; in another moment
ont would come third, and SO on, until
sometimes . dozen mice could be seen gath
cred around the csge. Their ears would be
standing straight mp, and their little black
eyes would be dancing like beads on q lady's
cloak. MEANWHILE Billy would strut up
and down his cage, much % prima donna
does on the stage of theater. He seemed
to be conscious OF the interest taken In him
and would trill bis most exc uisite melodies
At the end OF each song the mice would
scamper away, to return again when Billy
would resume his performance. few
all that good nursing could do, he died. His
body Was buried under an oak, and q tomb
stone. ABOUT the size of q silver dollar, MARKS
his last resting place.
