Mouse Took Great Liberty With
Miner in Alaska.


A mouse may naturally be a
&c timid beastie, but at times 1t
shows an audacity. which borders on
the impertinent. A traveller in
Alaska brings home this experience
OF his Klondike wanderings.
The teller of the story passed a
long, cold winter at Cape Nome. He
and his companions had for a year or
more, let their boards grow, as pro-
lection for their threats and chests.
One night when all were asleep the
man in question was awakened by
a light patting on his face. The cold
as intense, and not caring to move
unless it was necessary, he lay still.
Again the light touches on his cheek.
He put up his hand, and his fingers
closed on tiny mouse tangled in the
meshes of his beard. A companion,
reused by the involuntary exclama-
ton, lighted a candle and investi-
gated
The mouse had selected the beard
as warm and eligible site for resi-
dence. 1t had burrowed out a nice,
round nest and when caught was en-
gagged in dropping beans, purloined
from the scanty larder, into the recep-
tacle thus made.-Youth's Companion.

HeIen's p. S.

Helen had been taught to say her
prayers every night, and the little
prayer beginning, Now lay me down
to Sleep" was the prayer used. One
day an old friend Of the family, "Aun-
tie Benson" came to spend the day,
and on leaving asked Helen to remem-
Der her in her prayers. Helen agreed.
That night, after asking that a bless
ing should rest on her mother, father,
grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins,
friends, etc., Helen rose from her
knees. She walked across the room,
and jumped into bed. Then like a
shot she jumped out again, sank down
on her knees and exclaimed: Post,
