THE OLD STORY Y.

From Godegs LGdvs Book
Nc doubt 0ld Mother ranbys IN
Had reason for complaint,
When she declared that really
IL would provoke q saint
To see that pOmpOus ThOmts-cat
Go strutting round the house,
And never lift his lazy paw
To even scare mouse!
ITS truly shameful" she observed
To Mrs. Catnarine Black.
1T truly Isl" Game Catharine's
Emphatic answer back.
"If you and should spend our lives
Like those great worthless Things,
Would we be codded by the fire
And fed on chicken-wlngs ~
mot much |" said Mother Tabbyskin.
Not much !" said Madame Black.
Flashing scorn from her green eyes,
And humping up her back.
ITS tfne-mi-0w there was change
Let's travel round q nights
And try and rouse the sisterhoot
70 strike for equal rights :"
"Agreed :" says Mother Tabbyskiu.
Aud so they hired hall.
Aud issued Naming circulars-
Admiss on free to all.
The feline neIghborhood was aroused;
White cats and buif and gray,
Flocked In to hear what Tabbyskin
And Catherine had T. say.
And there were mods. and there were winkr,
And there was whispering,
And some SAID IL was very fine,
And some said no sucn tnlng.
"What good" asked little Mrs. White.
"Will equal rights do us =
They'll surely wake my kittens up
II they mako such fuss
Not far from her Miss Malta sat
dainty maid in gray.
Who listened with attentive ears
Drooped In graceful way.
She really had not known her sex
Was so abused, TIL now.
And yet-and yet for all the talk,
She didn't quite see how.
But Mrs Catharlne ought to know,
80 Malta crossed her paws,
And thought she would devote herself
Henceforward TO the cause.
To free her poor downtrodden sex
From tOm-cat tyranny.
And get them votes and Offices
How glorious II would be
But maiden hearts are weak, alas!
And some one whispered near
1.-The right to love. and be beloved,
Is always yours, my dear.
Come, sweetheart come away with me,
Forsake this squalling crew.
And equal rights nor equal wrongs
shall ever trouble you y
Soon from without thrilling strain
stole sweetly through he hall,
1t was the long-dawn melody
or Thomas on the wall.
And then alas for Tabbyskln'a
And Cath arinc's advice
They might - well have stopped at homo
To scare away the mice.
SNOWFALL and Jet and Tortoiseshell,
The silly kiltykins
Began to be "a fidgety
As II thoy sat on pms
One presently with voiv@t foot
Stolc sidelong To the door,
Another slyly followed her.
Then half dozen more
Like Mr.. James's heroine,
or whom we all have read.
They had no will but IhoWas's
Aud followed where no led;
While Tabbyskin and Catharino
We're left To caterwanl
In solitary majesty.
Deserted By them ALL
