The True Story of = Mouse's Care for HeI
Helpless Little Ones
In the composing-room-the room in
which the type is set for the Christian
Union-are . half dozen mice, which
are SO domesticated that they run be-
tween the feet of the compositors and
pick up the crumbs which are strewn
on the floor. The compositors made a
daily practice of throwing parts of their
lunches to them. and they became SO
tame that they would come up to the
mems hands, and eat bread therefrom.
They climb up ON the cases. and walk
over the types. crawl up the mems

generally. have taken one from the
sleeve of my overcoat, allowed it. to
stand on my hand, run up my arm and
jump from my shoulder on to the case
without it showing the least fear or
concern for its safety.
But it is not the tameness of these
mice / am going to tell about 1t is of
the intelligence displayed by the mother
when they were mere meetings, young
and tender, and not able to help them
selves; and it is but a short while since
they were in such helpless state.
Standing behind, and convenient to,
the stove are about two dozen drawers,
or what printers call cabinet" used
for holding advertising plates, en-
cravings, etc, which have appeared in
the paper. In the nearest one of these
drawers to the stove, which has been
kept comfortably warm in the severest
cold weather. these mice were born.
Having ohadss occasion to open the
drawer one morning, to my astonish-
ment l saw some paper scraps in one
corner move, as If something within

had been thrown on the floor of the
composing room, and was cut up into
very small pieces l lifted some of it
to investigate. and there in the corner,
in very cozy and warm little nest,
were nine little mice not more than a
day old. They were blind. not yet hav-
ing opened their eyes. and they had not
even one little hair on them. Perfectly
wee, small. helpless little mice; so
young they could not yet stand. but
they all cuddled together in their nest
to keep each other warm. while the
good little mother was out toiling for
some food to give them.

Grant and the Wood Thief.

When Grant lived in Missouri he
found some one was stealing wood
from his land. He watched one night
and saw neighboring farmer cut a
tree, load it on his wagon and drive
off, Joining him farther along the
road, Grant sang out: "Hello, Bell!
Going to st. Louis with your wood?"
"Ye-se'. "What do you ask for it?"
"About S4." "All right, I'll take it..
Draw it over to the house." Cant.
This load is promised" There's no
use holding off. You must haul this
to my house and pay me $50 for the
rest you have taken. That will be
only half price" eff don't suppose
you'll sue me before thesquare. "No;
we wont trouble the square or the
public. Well settle this now," and
springing forward Grant grabbed the
follow by the collar This was enough.
The fellow hauled the wood to Grants
house, but begged the captain to keep
still. That ended the thieving.
