COURAGEOUS MICE,
TO Protect Their Young Ones They
Braved the Risk of Being Cap
tured and Killed.

A woman residing in the West end
had a remarkable experience with II
baby mice. She went into the cellar
to a secluded corner, where no one
had been for some time, in search of
an ice cream freezer. She found it.,
and inside was nest containing II
mice. One good-sized mouse was in
with them, and, although frightened,
would not leave the little ones. An
old piece of tape reached from the
bottom of the freezer over the top
and down to the ground. Mrs. B.
went upstairs to look for some of the
boys to help her take them out, but
none of them was home, and so she
mustered courage and determined to
go down herself and turn them out.
When she reached the freezer the
light of the lamp she held in her hand
shone directly on it, and she saw two
big mice, each carrying baby mouse.
One was coming up on the inside and
the other was going down on the out
side. She was held spellbound at the
curious sight, and did not offer to dis
turb them. She watched until every
one of the IA babies had been carried
to a place of safety. Mrs. B. had a
large mouse trap on the other side of
the cellar, and so touched was she
by the scene she had just witnessed
that she took the trap upstairs and
threw it into the fire.-Albany Times

HELPED THE POSTWAR.
New Orleans Dog Took Great Pride in
the Performance Of Self
Imposed Duty.

II lost a faithful friend and helper
few days ago." said letter carrier
whose route lies below Canal street.
HE was yellow dog, and Z must
confess his appearance was not ex-
actly-er-prepossessing. His hide
was the color of cheap soap, and he
had the disreputable, skulking, tramp
ish bearing peculiar to yellow dogs
generally, but for all that he was a
gentleman at heart. We met in the
way of business. His owner was what
letter carriers call a 'throw-out;' in
other words, he lived two extra long
squares from his nearest neighbor,
and to deliver the mail he received al
most every day involved a four-square
walk for each batch. Four squares
means a good deal to a tired carrier,
and as a rule 'throw-outs' are any
thing but popular with the craft, but
soon after I took the route the yell
low dog got to know my whistle, and
would come rushing to the corner to
get the mail.
HE kept that up steadily, rain and
shine, for over a year, and never
missed trip. What's more, he showed
pride and interest in the task that
was really half human. Sometimes,
for instance, he would be little late
and find me on the way to the house
when he got out of the yard. Then
it was comical to see him come tear.
ing up the street, every hair bristling,
and saying, as plainly as he could:
Stop! Hold on! I'm here! Don't
bulge another inch!' On such occa-
sions he would always insist on going
back to the corner. which was the
only place he recognized officially for
the delivery OF mail matter.
'You can judge whether I became
attached to him. Often he would be
waiting for me, cooking his head to
one side and feeling his Importance
from his yellow stump of tail to
his yellow stump of nose. If I had
nothing for him he showed his de-
lection and disappointment as plainly
as a man, but as soon as he saw me
sort out few letters he would give
a sharp, joyous bark that sounded
enough like a laugh to be the real
thing. When his owner met me the
other day and told me he was dead ]
couldn't say a word to save my life.

knew it I was blubbering like a

BUILT BY CHILDREN.
Church in Wisconsin Owes Its Exist
ence to the Work and Economy
of Little Ones.

For town to exist so years and
yet have only one church organization
which possesses its own building is
strange enough, but when that build
ing has been built entirely through the
efforts of children and by money which
they furnished and solicited, it becomes
stranger still.
Just such an unusual condition of
affairs exists to-day, according to the
St. Louis Globe-Democrat, in Schofeld,
Wisconsin town which will soon cele-
brate it's semi-centennial. The church
belongs to the Christian Scientists, and
the story of it's erection is a most in
teresting one.
In 1896 Miss Mary E. Graves, a resi-
dent of Schofeld, organized in her own
home a Sunday school composed of
Is boys and girls of the village, ranging
in age from s to II years.
For about two years and half the
school was conducted under the fos-
tering care of Miss Graves, and in the
latter part of 1898 it's finances were in
such healthy condition that it's men,
bers decided to build church edifce.
The surplus in the treasury amount
ed to exactly nine dollars, all of which

Punished Enough Already.

A very subdued-looking boy of about
II years, with long scratch on his
nose and an air of general detection,
came to his teacher and handed her
a note before taking his seat and be-
coming deeply absorbed in his book.
The note read as follows: 'Miss B.:
Plese excuse James for not being
thare yesterday. He played trooant,
but you don't need to lick him for it,
as the boy he played trooant with and
him fell out and the boy licked him,
and man they sassed caught and
licked him, and the driver of cart
they hung on to licked him also. Then
his pa licked him, and I had to give
him another one for sassing me for
telling his pa, SO you need not lick
him till next time. He thinks he bet
ter keep in school now" Under the
circumstances the teacher thought
James had been punished enough.

It's Eood to wander back again :
Among the oil ! home folks, @~.
1t rather satisfies man
To hear the same old jokes;
To hear somebody say: IL knew
You when you were kid"
But some one always tells you Of
The foolish things you did.
Your heart beats lightly as it did
I'M long-forgotten days,
When at some well-remembered spot
Reaectively you gaze.
But 1t seems queer that all your good
> And noble deeds are hid,
And people only call to mind
The foolish things you did.
They talk of elders who've gone out
Into some foreign land;
They tell of things these other folks
Have done, and they seem grand,
But when 1t comes to talk Of you,
Their minds cannot be rid
OF the belief you'd like to hear
i The foolish things you did.
You know you've done thing or two
Which shows you've got some sense,
But every time they talk of you
They're certain to commence
With tales of what fool you were
When you lived here-a kid"
They have forgotten all except
The foolish things you did.

ORIGIN OF A BALLAD.
Conditions Under Which, Key Wrote
the Thrilling Words of the "Star
SpanEled Banner"

1t was during the bombardment OF
Fort McHenry, September 10, 1914.
that the ''Star Spangled Banner" our
most beautiful national ballad, was
written. A physician of Upper Marl-
borough, Nd, had been taken prisoner
by the British after the troops had
raided Washington. There was great
desire to obtain his release, and Mr..
Francis Key and Mr.. Skinner, of Bal
timore, arranged to visit the British
vessels and request that this gentle
man should be set at liberty. The re-
quest was granted, but the three
Americans were detained on board the
British vessel because of the coming
attack upon Baltimore. During the
night of the bombardment of Fort
McHenry they witnessed the scene
from the deck of the enemy's vessel
The roar of the guns went on unceas.
ingly and the flashes of their dis
charge cleaned across the water. At
last the return fire from the fort
ceased, and the Americans waited
anxiously for the dawning to know
whether their country's flag had been
lowered or not. Mr.. Key walked up
and down the vessels deck, and the
words of the famous song were framed
in his mind. When morning came it
was seen that the American flag was
still flying. During the day the three
Americans were allowed to go ashore
and the British ships sailed away. Mr..
Key, upon reaching the home of his
friends, wrote out the song which
since that time has been known and
sung in every part of this land.

As Fate Would Have 1t.

Many years ago an Arkansas youth, on
leaving the home of his sweetheart late at
night, received severe kick as he stepped
out Of the door. His beloved had not re-
sponded definitely to his proposal of mar:
rage. but had assured him that she would
soon let him know what she could do for
him. He, unfortunately for two tender
hearts, took the kick for an answer and de.
parted for far and wild country. Here he
brooded over his wound and his broken
heart until his beard grew down to his
knees and his nose became Roman. AS fate
would have it, as fate always has it, he
turned up late one sad, sad evening when
the straw-neck hens were quarreling on the
roost and the brindle cow was lowing
mournfully for her hungry offspring. A
young man some six feet tall met the lone
!y visitor. It was one of seven sons, born,
from time t., time, unto his old love. Elk;
plantations followed. It was not the girl
who kicked him 80 years before. Oh no! It
was her angry father. He. went out to the
horse lot, cut off his beard with the sheep
shears and kicked himself down the hill

THE BALLAD OF RUFUS JAMES.

He was christened Rufus James,
With dozen other names,
And his cradle decorated was with gold:
And he played with costly hings-
Silver rattles-teething rings
All the lovely toys little boy could hold.
He was dressed in clothes of white,
Sung to sleep by nurse at night,
And without care his infant life began;
He could have silver spoon,
And pretty, red balloon,
But he couldn't have a birthday, little man!
When he reached the age Of two,
Very fond of toys he grew,
And he had so many picture-books to see:
Nurse would tell the stories Ger
10 his lordship on the floor,
And a very happy little boy was he.
Rufus, every morning bright,
In a carriage rode bedight
With gay canopies, beside his sister Nan,
She would softly speak his name,
But would finish: what shame
That he cannot have birthday, little
mani"
Three long years had rolled away,
When there came happy day,
He had pockets in his trousers. deep and
wide.
They cut of his golden curls-
Those he left for little girls,
ana tney gave MIN such rOck1ng-horse to
ride!
There were cakes from Aunt Marie,
And knife from Uncle Lee;
There were games of every sort from
Cousin Dan;
All these gifts he could enjoy,
This most enviable boy,
But he couldn't have a birthday, little man
Twelve more months have come and
gone;
Now, of course, you might expect
That birthday would arrive without de-
lay.
But, most curious to relate,
BY an irony of fate,
He was born on February's final day
In the year of ninety-six.
ooh, that Fate should play such tricks y
Though his friends and parents for his
pleasure plan,
Yet their hearts are sad and sore;
He must wait for four years more,
Before he'll have a birthday, little man!

panion.
