TWO CATS AND A MOUSE.

GRAY CAT had a poor little mouse in
- a corner, and as she was sure he
could not escape she did not hurry
about catching him.
The mouse felt sure that his end was
near, and had given up all hope Of
escape when he saw White Cat come
around the corner. He thought he saw
one chance of getting away, and he
took it. Here comes White Cat" he
said to Gray Cat, she thinks she is

meeting here last night. in which he is
reported to have said that on his visit to
South American countries he had found
that apparently the chief business of the
diplomatic corps was absorbing liquor"
