I him and he went away into little patch
OF catnip and stayed there four days.

never murmured nor repined. He was
l kind 70 the little chickens and often

After many years Of usefulness sum.
ner one day thoughtlessly ate the re-
T mains Of a salt mackerel, and pulling the
I drapery OF mis- couch about him he lay

fever was over. His remains were given
% a poor family in whom l take a great
interest, frequently giving them many
things for which have no especial use.
