for friendship in 1.-The lower cree ton, -

gray Kitten How the hen er ar permitted
the mother cat to share her EST never
knew, but such was the fact, ana r. The
nest with the little chickens the kitten
remained until able to crawl or her own
wee feet.
The chickens and she were great play
fellows, and the mother cat soon gave her
over to the care of the mother hen. by
whose side she was always to be found
until she transferred her affections to the
big Plymouth Rock rooster.
This rooster had from the first taken a
lively interest in the kitten welfare and
he seemed highly pleased when she
showed her preference for him. He would
always wait Tor the pussy to make her Sc
lection of food from the scraps strewn to
the fowls from the table, cycling her with
his head on one side.
When she had taken what pleased her.
then he would help himself, after being
ungallant enough to give any hen q sound
peck who came for the bit he had select
ed. Yet he always let the pussy have her
way; he never lost patience with her,
though sometimes she was extremely ca
PRECIOUS, being very likely to think she
would like his piece Of bread better than
her own; in that case she had no hest
fancy in showing her preference by stffk-
ing him on the head with her paw lust as
he was in the act of taking 1t.
When she had finished eating she would
anuse herself by playing with the roost-
er's tail until the chickens were ready Tor
q promenade on the common. where they
went daily in search of bugs and worms
after their repast in the yard, when the
pussy would always accompany them.
Sometimes she would chase a butterfly or
grasshopper, at otner times she woEld lie
il the sun not far from where the chick
ems were feeding. But she never let them
get far away from her.
Her bowl of milk was always placed at
evening near the door OF the hen house.
She would drink it. and then, after the
chickens had finished their supper, thew
would all 60 in<ogether and go to bed.
The pussy continued 10 sleep in the nest
where she was born, even after she was
full grown. After the rooster took her in
charge he gave up his place on the perch
and made himself as comfortable as he
could OF the edge OF the box wherein she
slept.
This strange kitten could never be
coaxed into the house. She was never
seen with another cat, and whenever she
got a sight Of the house cat she would
put up her back and show fight, exactly
as she did when a dog came near her.

Early one bright morning a little frog
hoped from the water, opened his music
box and sang this very strange song:
III swallow you and you swallow me,
Who's going to swallow the bumble-bee?
He was about to sing another song
when big pelican swooped down on him
and froggy disappeared
After while he popped his head up
again, looking angry this time, for he was
fond of that song and wished to finish it,.
So he began once more: I'll swallow
you and you swal''-, but he got no
further, for swoop came the pelican,
splash went the frog, and the pelican
missed him again. "Oh, let him finish

knows. After q while they all left but
the crafty old rat, who. having finished
his toilet, fastened his wicked little eyes
on the place where the frog disappeared
and waited. Pretty soon froggy came up,
psered cautiously around, and, seeing no
one, he opened his mouth wide and began
to sing:

Excuse me, - interrupted the rat,

bowling low to the rat, sang:

song, for when he sang who gong TO

a contented smile, and sat the rest OF that

went sound asleep, for 1t was now bed
time, and in his dreams he sang froggy's
song. Meanwhile the pelican had been
sitting on log near by, watching, and
as the rat sang:

Yes, thought SO. Now tell me. about which
do you want the most detailed information, an
American city or an English town? An Amer
lean statesman or an English statesman?
Just SO. But you see, the Encyclopedia
Britannica wasn't compiled for the use Of men
like you. 1t was put together to be used by
Englishmen In England. And, you see, they
want the exact opposite Of what you do, andthe
Encyclopedias Britannica, very properly, gives
it to them. It fills pages with the account of
some insignificant English borough or county
that you may never want to know anything
about whatever, aud gives half dozen lines to
some State pretty here that you want the fullest
particulars of, but about which an Englishman
cares just nothing at all.
Right as trivet, whatever that may be-
never saw one that know Of But you're Just
exactly right all the same. It's the AMERI-

would have been in the original work had they
