One night Nibbly Mouse ran out Of his

after eating all the cheese he could find
he thought it might be good fun 30 look
about bit and see the house in which he
had lived all winter.
Out Of the pantry he ran arror the
kitchen, through the diningroon, into
the hall. and then mp the stairs, and at the
top Of the stairs he found room, which
he decided To enter.
All was very still, excepting soft sound
Of breathing, and those Nibbly Mouse
liked TO hear, for he knew he was safe.
All around the room he ran, Moth
ing to eat," thought he. II do not
think much of this place"
Out he ran into the hall again, keeping
close to the wall, until he came 20 another
room, and in there Nibbly found many
strange things, but nothing To eat.
II was the playroom, and, like many
other little mice who have visited n

with his little nose IT seemed to hoat
away. but IL always came back to the hoor
At frat Nibbly ran and hid when the

mind To take taste and sec what was

GOT THEM ON THE RUN.
Joseph b. Glider.

In Picardy and Flanders,
Like frightened geese and ganders
They futter ID the sun;
They don't take time to goose step;
They take a long, quick, loose st ep-
We've got them on the run!
Though Hindenburg may scold them,
His famous line won't hold them
They're making home run;
They're hiking for the Rhine land;
Don't blame them-it's a fire land
Lies basking in the sun.
Some day they'll rally may be;
Yet awful though that day be
The battle will be won;
And all the world, made free then,
Will praise the deeds of freemen
Who overcame the Hun.
