will for moment think of abandoning
the mouse trap game simply because
some other mouse happens to have
been caught.
1t you once understand the nature
of mice you need have no trouble with
them. Danish from your house every
cat, trap and newspaper, and not a
mouse will show herself. Fill your
house with newspapers, traps and cats,
and mice will flock to it from miles
away. No'mouse will go to house
where no amusement is offered to her.
This lesson I have learned, as [ said,
by years of study, and it has been con-
firmed by the testimony of several of
the most intelligent cats whom 1 have

OF course, now and then too reckless
mouse pays the penalty of rashness by
being caught by the cat, but accidents
of this kind are more rare among mice
than football accidents among men,
and in no way render mice shy of the
game.
AS to traps, a great deal of excite
ment can be had by trying to steal the
cheese out of the trap without being
caught. If successful this feat greatly
annoys the owner of the trap, and
correspondingly delights the mice.
Occasionally mouse is caught in a
trap, but his friends bear his loss with
that calm fortitude which is character
istic of animals. No mouse of spirit

A Study on Mice.

Few people understand the mystery
Of mice. | think | can without i'm
modesty claim to understand mice. for
have made them study for many
years. | used to think that nature
supplied mice Wherever there seemed
to be any call for them, For example,
If you live in house where there are
no mice, and in rash moment provide
yourself with a mouse trap or set up
cat, mice will immediately make their
appearance. Tothe superficial observer
| this looks as il Nature, perceiving that
you had mouse trap, proceeds to sup
ply mice for il, or noticing that you
have cat, sends mice enough to salts
fy The animal.
But this is not the true explanation.
In order to understand mice you must
grasp the fact that the mouse is an
animal with keen sense of humOr,
and love of excitement With this
unlock the mystery of mice That the
mouse has 2 sense of bumOr is con-
spicnously shcWn by the way i'll which
she will rattle d newspaper in your
bedroom at night. The mouse does not
eat newspapers, neither does she put
them to any domestic use. She merely
makes a noise with them, knowing
that of all sounds the midnight rustic
of newspaper is the one which will
most successfully Danish sleep from
your eyes. If a mouse finds an eligible
newspaper in your bedroom she will
settle herself down to night of fun
and jollity. She will rattle that news
paper till morning, and the only effect
of throwing boots at b.or, or of getting
up and lighting the gas and searching
for her with a poker, will be, that she
will hide herself till you lie down to
sleep and then resume her little news
paper game. If this does not show a
sense of humor it would be difficult to
say what it does show.
Then there is the we'll known fact
that no sooner dQes mouse trap or a
cat enter a house than it is followed
| by troop of mice. Cats and traps
draw mice as the pole draws the mag
net. The mouse loves the game of
teasing the cat by stimulating the
latter's hopes of capturing mice. 1t is
considered the height of fun among
mice to scuttle across room in the

The Happy Time.

The man that cannot rest today,
But says he will tomorrow,
Finds, when his work is cleared away
New tasks or sits in sorrow.
The merry time, the happy time,
The bliSsful day in view
Is never gained by them that wait
To triumph and to celebrate,
With nothing more to do.
The man who folds his hands today
And contemplates with sorrow
The pressing task that's put away
Unfinished until tomorrow
Has neither rest of heart nor mind,
For he that looks ahead
To duties long delayed destroys
The sweetest of sweet lesure's Joys,
But borruws doubt and dread.
The man who mixes work and play
At present and tomorrow
Keeps life's poor little ills away
And finds new cares to borrow.
The merry time, the happy time.
The bliSsfu. day in view
Is every day for him whose hand
Is turned each day to fair deeds and
Who plays in reason too.

Life in q Country Home.

Whenever we hear the crow of a
rooster, that indicates the rising of the
sun, and we are transported quickly
back over the vista of time, many years,
and we can readily recall "reminiscences
that will never lie effaced from our
memory.
The cOnyeniences of the farm in the
pioneer days were crude indeed in
comparison with the prevailing con-
ditions at the present time; then every
thing was of primitive nature, con-
sequently work could not be performed
as expeditiously and economically as
now. Then, we were without the
reaper, the binder, the cultivator and
many other conveniences that have
been introduced to make the life of the
farmer more agreeable, relieving him
of many tedious processes than neces-
sary to attain the ends sought.
In our memory We go back forty odd
years to the time when we spent a, year
or more of our boyhood in close, very
close touch with nature, sowing the
seed, dropping corn, planting potatoes,
setting out cabbages and making a
garden and beds of it for onions,
tomatoes, and numerous other duties
in this line that brought us very near
to mother earth. AS soon as these put
in an appearance in their new form we
had to follow them up with the hoe
and pulling weeds, and still later on to
wage continual war against the striped
chipmunk and gopher and such like
annoyances that make themselves con-
spicuous in their anxiety to relieve the
poor farmer of a possible crop. Many
dollars worth of poison we have dis
solved in dainty morsels prepared for
the enemy; many pounds of paris
green we have cautiously handled and
liquifed, and sprinkled over the potatoe
vines that were tempting lunch for
the festive potatoe-bug. Many July
day we have sat perched on a
scaffolding in the center of a corn
field, shotgun in hand, banging away
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1901-03-21

at the thousands or Saucy DldckDlrQS
that would, if unmolested, appropriate
the whole corn crop in a very short
time. Many pail Of water we have
carried with the aid of neckyoke to
the garden in order to keep life in
few struggling plants that were making
frantic efforts for existence
Later on, the laborious work of
gathering in what we had expanded
so much time and patience in producing,
was no easy matter. There were not
enough days in the week nor enough
hours in the day, though every particle
of daylight was utilized to insure
sufficient expedition to save in their
best condition the fruit we had earned.
The grain and corn must be cut, the
one stacked and the other shocked;
peas and beans must be pulled and also
stacked, potatoes dug and piled in
heaps ready for transportation to the
cellar Before freeze. Then full
weeks time must be spent on the
meadow, working jointly with the
neighboring farmers to cut and stack
the winters supply of hay. This done,
the threshing must be attended to also
with the assistance of our cO-labOrers,
to whom we always looked when in
need of extra help and who expected
in return our services for similar work.
They were on hand by the dozens and
the labor was performed in manner
both expeditions and sociable.
The day designated for the threshers
was an eventful one and considerable
time was required in preparation to
get everything in perfect order that
there might be no delay, for the "ma-
chine" and crew had their dates out,
and it was of vital Importance that
their contracts should be Kept nothing
but a rain storm would prevent them
from attending strictly to business on
| set time.
What surprising appetites all these
workers had. No dyspeptics among
them, and it was a caution how the
roast-pork, vegetables, saleratus bis
cults and butter disappeared; and not
only these, but the pumpkin, apple and
mince pies prepared expressly for the
occasion. Nothing was too good for
the hard-working threshers, and each
farmers wife would strive to do lit
tie better than her neighbor, for she
we'll knew that it would be The talk of
the boys wherever they went, as the
whole conversation was in regard to
the yield per acre and what they had to
eat. We did not seem to have the war
of the rebellion to talk over, for its
battles had not yet been fought. The
Mexican war was not of sufficient
moment to awaken interest, and that
of the revolution was too far back in
the past; hence their stomachs and the
acreage.
Later in the fall the potatoes were
to be put away in the cellar, corn and
hay from the meadow hauled to the
barn, and sundry other duties like in
kind. Sandwiched between these as
outlined, was an occasional trip to the
village with butter and eggs, load of
tame hay or jag of watermelons, and
occasionally a dressed hog. In ex-
change for the same we would bring
home the regulation jug of molasses.
New Orleans sugar, and other neces-
saries as are in daily requisitiOn on all
we'll regulated farms. STRABO.

STREET-RAILWAY ASSESSMENT.
+. j. Van VOrhis Wants 1t Placed at
SIO,70O ,OOO-Arguments Heard.

f. j.. Van Vorhis appeared before the
State Board of Tax Commissioners yester-
day as a private citizen and asked tina
the Indianapolis Street-railway Company's
assessment be $40. 75O, 1000. Ferdinand Winter
and Charles n. Thompson, representing the
company, said 1t should be assessed at ST.
800, 900, but would be content with $4,000, 900.
Mr.. Van Vorhis said the board should take
into consideration the value of the COM
pany's stock. 1t came out that the COM
pany is paying interest on $780, coo Of
bonds.
s. O. Pickens, for the Western Union
Telegraph Company, asked that it's assess
ment be reduced from 1915 a mile to 1926.
He also appeared with G. D.. Laws, general
manager of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne &
Chicago Railroad, for the PENNSYLVANIA
lines. asking that their assessment remain
as IL is.
Joseph Moses. tax agent of the Big Four
Company, asked that its assessment be not
increased
c. o. Bradford, of the Louisville & Nash
Vile Railroad and the Henderson Bridge
Company, said these two companies were
we'll satisfied with their present assess
ment.
II. O. Towle appeared for the standard
Oil Company and explained that 1t rents
its tank cars TO the railroads and, there
fore, should not be assessed as a transport
tation company. The oil company pays the
railroads for transportation and the rail-
roads pay rent to the oil company. The
board is not satisfied that this arrangement
clears the oil company. The board will be
