THE JUMPING CAT.
BY MARY MARTIN.


That is a term which is rarely, If ever,
used now. but long ago, when William
Thompson went to school. every one knew
what it meant: and William Thompson
was the jumping cat of the district
school. ! am going to tell you how he
was cured. He was not a bad boy. but
he was very much spoiled at home. He
was an only child and his parents and
his many aunts and uncles could find no
fault in young William. He had great
idea of his own consequence and imag-
ined that the world was made principally
for William Thompson: but he was will
ing for others TO enjoy his world SO long
as they did not interfere with him.
Then when William was eight years
old he went to school In a quaint peaked
hat. short blue jacket. buff trousers and
low shoes he was taken by three adoring
aunts and left to face a new world; a
world where the twenty other boys and
girls were just as important as William
Thompson and where the teacher from
her platform viewed them all with inn
partial glance and rewarded or punished
the good and the bad

allowances of provisions. gathered around

spread out upon a hemmed cloth of
snowy white. were three slices of bread
about a quarter of a yard square: a
tumbler of peach preserves. a wedge of
pumpkin pie six cookies. four pears and
a bottle of milk This last dainty was
too much for the boys; they rolled on
the ground in an uproar of laughter. In
the end he ran away and the boys de-
voured what he had left. That night
he longed to tell his mother that he could
go to school no more. But something held

Say twenty are playing. Ten go on one
side and ten on the other. Each side
takes word OF ten letters. say patriot

square of paper and each player has a

where DEAFNESS MIGHT
BE AT A PREMIUM.

In China there are many inns where
there is shelter for man and beast in very
truth. and without regard to whether you
are man or beast Animals belonging to
the pack trains. men who drive them and
any traveller who may chance upon one
of these democratic inns, lie down-nOt in
peace-but in confusion-together. The
braying of asses, believing of oxen. bleat-
ing of camels and snores Of exhausted
mankind all rise together. An American y
traveller may indeed be thankful that rail-
roads are doing away with pack trains.
and that soon these queer inns will have
no reason for existing.

THAT?

There was going to be an eclipse of the

darky in the neighborhood.
You watch out tomorrow, Uncle Sam
and about 10 o'clock your chickens will
all go to rosst.'
OF course, Sam doubted but when the
eclipse came, sure enough the chickens
went TO bed. Then this converse ton
ensued:

A MORTAL COMBAT.
BY BELLE MOSES.


Once upon a time a great lion establish
ed his kingdom in a certain dense forest
where he ruled supreme: his irnperous
roar could be heard for miles around
and every time he lashed his tail tree
fell. For this reason there were many
clearings in the forest. a fact which
disturbed the other animals. who de-
pended upon dense shadow to keep out Of
the clutches of this powerful foe. The
smaller creatures had little trouble IN
protecting themselves and scuttling out
of sight at his approach. but the foxes
and wolves who infested the region not
only found difficulty in eluding the saw
age monarch. but 1t was almost impos-
sible to obtain any food i'm his neighbor-
hood for the young rabbits and other
rare market produce had grown extremely
wary and seldom showed even the tips OF
their noses.
On certain bright afternoon one of the
sons of the house of Bunny resolved TO
venture above in the forest. 1t had been
weeks since he had seen the light OF
day, and Burrowtown had grown deadly
