wagon announced Mr.. City Mouse.
For a long time they rumbled along,
and suddenly, when Mr.. City Mouse
and his dear wife and little daug ter
had fallen off to sleep, the wagon
stopped with a jerk.
The suddenness Of the stop also
jerked Mrs City Mouse awake.
Peeping out the little hole, he saw
the beautiful trees and the green of
the open country. The man had gone
across the road to get a drink of
water.
Wake up; hurry" almost shouted
Mr.. City Mouse to his wife and little
Maudie. Come on. here's our chance. 90
Taking little Maudie on his back,
Mr. City Mouse and his dear wife
scooted out the hole and down the
side of the wagon.
Hidden under a big log. they saw

youth calls for youth, and has tastes

The very first requisite of a happy
marriage is that the high contracting
parties shall be nearly Of the same
age. The most that any woman married

reconciled. There is no happiness in
the home where the wife's feet ache 10
