who loses his temper will and TO his
cost
That with Il his good common sense
IL lost.
You never and n hot temper and
cool common sense together In the
same person. Those are two things
that don't mix. And when you see
two people quarreling you may de
pend upon II that the one who
doesn't let his temper get the best
of him In the one who will have
the best OF the quarrel.
When Black Pussy walked I'm 20
Farmer Browns Kitchen she hadn't
the least suspicion that there was
anything unusual there until she was
well inside. Then n suddenly struck
her that there was something queer
there. Everything looked just as
usual. but she just felt that II
wasn't. For one thing Farmer
Browns Boy and Mrs. Brown seem
ed TO be watching her as II they ex-
pccted something TO happen. II gave
her an uncomfortable feeling and
made her uneasy. II made her
witch the end OF her tail more than
usual She went to her eaucer OF
milk and Tapped little, but that
feeling something wasn't just right
took away her appetite.
She carefully washed her face, for
Black Pussy II very neat, and then
decided that she would 20 to her
bed and think the matter over. So
she yawned ana stretched and then
I'm a very dignined sort OF way she
walked over to her box behind the
stove. She put her two front paws
on the edge ofNhe box and looked
I'm just as she always did. For Just
q little wee second she couldn't be
iievc her own eyes. There was some
one in her bed Yes, sir, some one
had dared to curl up In her bed
Now Black Pussy's first thought
was that a strange cat had been ad-
mitted 20 Farmer Browns kitchen
and had taken possession OF her
bed Such thing had happened be
fore, and II was a thing that no SELF
respecting cat could allow. Right
away Black Pussy lost her temper.
She has a way OF losing II very
easily. II was one OF Black Pussy's
worst faults Because Of It she has
got into trouble many times when
she might have avoided H. n usually
r. this way with people who lose
their tempers easily.
Black Pussy wasn't afraid No. tn
deed. She never yet had met
strange cat OF whom she was afraid
She simply was very. very angry.
