A Mouse.-And Lady's Hat

The old acugc that where ignorance
is hliss It's folly to be wise, had Il for
cil'le illustration recently in the case of
Il pretty yrHug lady. Il student i'll the
Normal School at West Chester. In
bissful ignorance of the fact ~ mCuSe
had found Il nesting place in the artiti-
cinl flowers of her Sunday hat. and
while seated in church it began numer-
Gus antics, which We're Mt once divcTting,
if not alarming. to the yGun" ladies who
occupied the pew, behind her. During
the entire service the mouse kept up the
tide show. the dCmurc face and undiS-
tulhcd manner of the young lady show
ing hli,rful ignorance Of the .;tCntion.
1t was really wonderful that the Specta-
tors Of the show could control their feel
iugS and prevent a panic. But to their
, rcdit they did and at the close of the
service the young lady was taken to the
basement of the church where the limo
cent animal wa, duly dispatched. Con
sGclfng the Abnormal dread the aver
age young woman has of Il mouse, the
aclf-c0nt1nl of these West Chester girls
deserves universal commendation

Its purpose is to help or rather pension
the disabled clergy OF the church and
the widows and orphans of deceased

each baptized person of the church. and
