THE STRANGE TALE OF A MOUSE
CHASER

Dear Child-When you narrated that
thrilling experience Of yours, felt as if
never could be the center Of such an ex-
citing incident; but I will tell you about
an adventure Of mine which is just an
everyday, commonplace happening. Ny
sister was busting the parlor with charac-
teristic placidity when an uncharacteris-
tic scream was heard, which brought me
from the sittingroom at once. A mouse
had run from under the music cabinet
and had hidden behind the piano, and
mouse was the cause of all that followed
my vacation incident.
The piano was moved from the wall and
the mouse cornered, but the mischievous
rascal did not surrender. He scampered
into the sittingroom. Then / lost interest
in the chase. 1 promised my brother and
his most intimate friend cent apiece

MILES in
NO HASTE
ADVISES PRoHlBITIoNIsTs TO GO
SLOW IN HOLDING NATIONAL
CONVENTION.

New York. March 23 = Rev. Jas.
B. Dunn of this city, has received
from Lieutenant General Nelson A.
Miles, a reply to recent letter to
Miles in reference in the holding of
the national convention of the temper
ance party. Miles strongly advises
against holding the convention until
after the party has had opportunity
to observe the action taken on the
temperance question by the republi.
can and democratic national conven.
tions.
Miles says, should either party make
such a nomination and announce such
principles as will command the ap
proval and cordial support of those
whom you represent, an opportunity
to advance the objects of the temper
ance party would be offered, while al
the same time, the patriotic men com
posing that party would contribute
most essentially to the uplifting of oul
country from the meanacing evils
He further says that, ashould nc
nomination be made by either of tht
great parties that would command the
cordial support Of the temperance
people the opportunity to make a nom
ination Of it's own would still remain
