MIR. MOUSE AND MISS FRoGGIE.

MIR. Mouse went every night down by
the pond to hear Miss Froggic sing for he
thought her voice the sweetest he had ever
heard, and, beside, he was quite in love
with her rs well.
In vain did his mother beg him to choose
a wife from his own race, and though she
wcpt rs well, Mr. Mouse kept up his love-
making to Miss Froggie.
Not that Miss Froggie gave him any
encouragement, for she did not. In fact,
she seldom looked at him at all, but just
kept up her singing from dark till daylight
Poor Mr.. Mouse would return home
quite sleepy in the morning and could
hardly keep awake to eat his breakfast,
but the next night. all dressed up, he
would walk forth again to SIT by the pond
and look at and listen to Miss Froggle.
At last one night when Miss Froggie
stopped singing for some reason, per-
hans her throat. was tired or hoarse, MIR >.
Mouse ventured to speak of his love.
He told her he would leave home and
mother and his own set all for her il she
would only love him and become his
bride.
Miss Froggie puffed up little, for
she felt that she was very much honored
even if she was not in love with Mr.. Mouse
but she did not wish toappear to hasty in
accepting him, so she said she would have
to think it over.

There is complaint made against

NOWADAYS undertake This complaint Is
10 the effect that women sham sick ire-
quently when they want 20 take day off
"The reason why women have trouble

the same sort of work. is because you cant

half the girls we employ are kept away
from their work on an average of two
davs month and often more than that.
And We hear that these same girls are
seen shopping or at movie when they
fell us they were too Ill TO come 20 work.
Ii is seldom indeed that a man stays
away from his work because of I'll health.
When he does. he is really IN bad shape.
Is il true that women arc less oonscien-

The worst of this sort Of disregard for
obligations as that it reflects on all women
in employment The girl who plays fair
is made to suffer because her associates
don't do SO. When these girls at school
played the same trick and we know that
il is a trick that is often played there
it concerned themselves only. But when
they are earning living, they hold back
others from a proper return for the work
done by making it possible for employers
to assert that women cannot be depended
upon TO be faithful 10 their bargain.
As business for women gets more set
tied, and as the standards improve, this
sort of thing will disappear. 1t will be dis
couraged by the girls themselves, as they

She Says.
MOTHER WAS IN BED.

Out in Georgetown lives a hve-
months -old collie puppy who Is fat
and is rapidly growing fatter.
This puppy Is a hero. He saved
a life. Here's the story:
The pup lives at 210s I street
northwest.

Mrs. Griffith was sick in bed her
baby son. Charles. two years old.
was playing in the kitchen.
The pup was with him.
Il had the Are going in the
kitchen stove" said Mrs. Griffith,
but l was certain little Charles
couldn't reach 1t. He was dressed
in his nightclothes; 1 hadn't been
able to attend to him. I heard the
baby and the puppy playing around
for a few minutes.
Suddenly the baby screamed. and
the pnppy growled. My heart stood
still. The dog continued making
those horrible noises.
through the door by the collar of
his nightdress. The baby's clothes
were in flames.
Luckily I was able to beat out
the hre before baby was hurt. But
the dog kept on growing until /
tore the nightdress off the baby.
Baby wasn't hurt at all.
"Since then the dog has kept the
baby away from the stove. When
Charles crawls toward the stove the
puppy grabs him by the clothes
and hauls him away.
