Puss in Boots Jr.

Where the clouds are so fieecy and
white.
Oh, hurry, l pray
For gone is the day,
And dark, oh so dark, is the night
And after that away went the
Gander, and by and by they saw the
front door of the moon. 1T seemed
rather funny not TO have a path
leading up to il, but the moonbeams
made a very nice sort of a silver
bridge. so the Gander alighted on
this and waddled along until the
Man in the Moon. who had been
looking out of the window, ran
down and opened the door.
The little Moon Mouse left off
nibbling her green cheese and said
TO Puss: so you thought il was a
dream, did you? You never really
thought / slid down the moonbeam
and talked to you?''
"Oh, dear, I'm so sleepy now l
can't think" said little Puss Ju-
nior. And, do you know. the Man
in the Moon lifted him up and
tucked him away in a bed. And
then he gave the Camden some corn.
And after that he closed the front
door and went to bed himself. But
the little mouse stayed up all night
to eat the green cheese.

When a kitchen table gets badly
stained and the marks will not
yield to ordinary scrubbing try
little chloride of lime in the water
or spread a stronger solution.
Cover the stain and allow it to re-

The same method can be employed
to wooden floors that have got
