Teddy reached down, and stretched
FIVE eager fingers toward the golden APP

Teddy's little red legs whirled through
the air, and he sat up, rueful and dis

There was no climbing out of it. Four

Her sitting Room.
Some mice had found their way into
Mrs. Carper's sitting-room. and they
bothered her very much. One day she
baited trap with some cheese and put
it in corner behind the secretary.
Then she lay down on the couch and
was soon sound asleep. But before she
had slept long she was awak ned by
a noise that she could not understand.
1t sounded as if the room was full of
wild animals, She opened her eyes
lazily, and what do You suppose she
saw? Five mice! She kept very still
and watched them. One of them, who,
she supposed. was the mother, sat
curled up in belt of sunshine with its
eyes shut as if asleep. The other four
were scampering, jumping and caper-
ing about just like young puppies or
kittens,
Mrs Carper had never seen any mice
at play before, and she was so pleased
with their gambols that she forgot how
much they had annoyed her.
What times they were havingl They
would race clear across the room and
back again TO where their mother sat
Now and then one of them, in playing
with the others, would roll over the
mother; but she would only blink at
them little, as if she thought; well,
you are pretty good children anyway,
even if you are little too lively now
and then"

An interesting discovery has been made

He has found. that certain nerves have
complete control over the stomach, liver,
kidneys and all internal organs.
These organs convert bread, meat, po-

makers, into blood, bone and muscle, and
when these nerves are weak or exhausted,
these organs fail, and dyspepsia, bilious

A monstrous great rat, what fun it would be ..

And bite him and squeeze him until he was
dead"
Said the third little kitten: SHOULD see a rat,
I'D eat him all up in much less time than that. ="
Suddenly something jumped out Of the wood
All three turned and ran as fast as they could.
