PISS AND THE DANCING MICE.

One night in the barn in the WIN
ter time the mice who lived there under
the floor gave a dtnee.
OF course they did not invite anyone
outside their own set, and that did not
of course include Tom P,ss.
But somehow the first thing the
dancing mice knew there was Tom
Puss on the sill of the barn window
outside looking in at them.
LET me come in, he said, Il should
love to dance
I'VE will let YOU come III If you will
wear shoes and gloves, said one mouse,
''Our dance is n very hiigh-toncd affair
and all outside guests must wear gloves
and shoes
All the mice laughied at this, and
then they went on with their dance,
but the next thing they knew Puss
tapped on the window again, and there
he was all dressed up in gloves and
shoes.
Now let me in; YOU promised you
would. said Puss, who was sure once
he was inside he would get good partner.
The mice felt sure Puss could not
harm them dressed as he was. so they
told him TO run around the door and
they would lift the latch, which they
did. Puss had never before seen SO
many nice together, and he telt rs II
he must spring at one that very MN
ute; but then he remembered his gloves
and shoes and knew he could not get
one if he pouncc upon It

SUGGESTS
MONUMENT
To Grayson County's Fallen
Soldiers Be Erected In
Lietchfield

If it meets the approval OF the edi-
tor of this paper | suggest that a
monument be erected on the public
square at Leitchfeld to the memory
of the gallant sons of Grayson county
who have fallen in the recent war in
defense of our country. This monu-
ment should be erected by popular
subscription in memory of all who
lost their lives either on the battle
field or in Camp.
/ suggest that committee of six,
one from each Magisterial District,
be appointed by the County Judge to
take the matter in hand.
Louisville has already taken the
matter up for Jefferson County and
May Smith has appointed a COM
mittoe Ike charge of same.
| trust the editor will agitate this
matter through the columns of the
Gazette and that Grayson county will
be the first in the State to erect a
monument in memory of her fallen
heroes.
