THIS TIME A CAT STORY.
IN Which the Cat Comes Out
Ahead.
A Charmed Spell Thrown About a Mouse
Until it Was 0~estroyed---A Spanish
Story About a Donkey Which
May Pass ia That
Country.
Py~skBe, BURIAL,


One of our wellknowa citizens is the
possessor Of a cat, which Is q great pet in
the family. A few evenings ago the cat
came into the house bringing q mouse, no
uncommon thing for the cat to do, as it is
a good mouser. But the cat played with
that mouse for an hour and a half, then set
it up by the wall and crept into bed and
went to sleep. The mouse, though still
alive and apparently uninjured, remained
Just where the cat putt for so long that the
family became interested in the mouse and
the gentleman proceeded to stir it up. The
little animal started to run, went a short
distance and returned to the very spot
where the cat had lett it. Then the gentle,
man tried to entice the mouse away with a
bit of cheese. This succeeded only so far
that the mouse would leave its position, get
the cheese aud return.
Finally they let the mouse alone and It
remained quiet and apparently coutented.
When the cat had been asleep for consider
ably more than an hour the gentleman
walked her up to see what would happen
next. The cats first look was toward where
abe had left the mouse, and, seeing it there
sll right, seemed satisfied. The cat looked
at the mouse and the mouse looked at the
cat, but neither moved. The gentleman
stirred up the mouse with q stick, when it
started to run lively, but was, of course,
soon stopped. The play continued for half
an hoCr OF so, when the family retired, and
shortly aiterSard a satisfied "meoew" from
the cat told that mousie was eaten.

One About n Donkey.

With the peassntry Of Spain the donkey
is a petted !~avorite, almost an inmate OF the
household. The women and children of the
family feed him from their hands, and talk
caressiugly to him. A peasant had for many
years carried milk into the market OF Madrid
to supply a set Of customers. Every morn.
ing be and his donkey with panniers we'll
loaded trudged their accustomed round.
One morning, when he was attacked by
sudden illness and had no one to send with
his milk, he decided to trust the donkey to
90 alone. The panniers were accordingly
hlled with csnisters of milk, and the priest
OF the village wrote a request to customers
to measure their own milk and send back
the empty vessels. The donkey was in
structed, and set of with his load. The
door bells in Spain have a rope hanging
outside the house, to which is appended a
wooden handle, or the hoof Of some animal.
The donkey stopped before the house Of
every customer, and, after waiting what he
deemed a sufficient time, he pulled the rope
with bis mouth. When he had gone the
entire round he trotted home with the
eanisters. He continued to do this
for several days, and never missed q custo-
mer.
