the mouse a few crumbs, which it began
to devour. AS soon as it had finished
its meal it began chirping like chick
en-, then like a wren and then like q
hooking bird. 1t kept this up four
minutes, when the appearance of cat
interrupted it. Mr.. Russ at once put
the cat out, but the mouse was so
scared that it would not consent to
sing. After dinner several men from
the neighborhood called in to hear the
wonderful mouse sing. AS soon as 1t
finished more crumbs which were given
to it it began to sing.
Every night for the last two weeks"
said Mr.. Russ, I'VE have been hearing
strange noises, which sounded like the
singing of bird. For the first two or
three nights we paid but little atten-
ton to it, but upon the continuance OF
this strange noise, we decided to in
vestigate the matter. but could not dis
cover it. We called in several gentle
men to keep watch with us, and we sat
up all night for two nights. The noise
would not stay in one place, but would
run from one room to another, then
upon the roof. We began TO think" he
continued, that maybe this strange
noise was a ghost, or a warning that
some one of the family would soon die.
This idea scared us all, and we were de-
termined to find out what it was. just
then the noise sounded as if it was
under the hearth, when out ran
mouse, which was grabbed by Mr.. Ken
nedy. We locked it pin corn-popper
and continued our search, when about
midnight the noise came from the pop
per. Then we were convinced that the
mouse was the cause of our uneasiness,
much to our JOY"
