By DAVID CORY.

How the Little Old Man Lost His Wife.
Puss opened the front gate and walked

smoke from his pipe rose In the air In a
thin line, while the smoke from the stove
pipe on the little back shed puffed out In
black clouds. . 's
Good day said Puss, taking OF his
hat.
Come and rest beside me- said the old
man. pushing forward an armchair. Puss
sat down and wiped the perspiration from
his forehead. "A warm day, my good

"Yes, indeed" replied the little old
man. But all days seem very much
alike to me-
DO they7" asked Puss. "why?"
well. III tell you the story of my
Iife," said the little old man. Taking his
pipe from his lips, he began:
when was a little boy
! lived hy myself
And all the bread and cheese got
I laid upon the shelf.
The rats and the mice
They made such a strife
That forced to 90 to town
And bay me q wife.
The streets were broad
And the lanes
WAS forced to bring my wife home
In wheelbarrow.
Tie wheeIbar-ow broke,
And my wife had a fall;
Farewell, wheebarrow. wife and ALL"
The old man looked very sad as he
finished his story.
And you have lived alone ever SINGER
asked Puss.
Yes" replied the old man. "and the
mice and the rats give me no peace. They
eat up my cheese and my -four, and I
am worried half to death every minute. "
"1'n help you." said Puss. let me stay
here tonight. I'll sit up and catch every
rat and every mouse that bothers you in
side the house"
You can make up poetry as you 60
along as well as l can," said the old
man, with a laugh. why, that's the first
laugh I've had in many a long year. I
IKE you, Sir Cat. You are an obligins
sort Of person. You shall have the best
my small home affords, and tomorrow l
will bid you good speed. only hope you
will rid the place of rats and mice
Leave that to me-" replied Puss with
