she does nOw-she must learn some
thing from watching two such experts
as we are"
White was so unhappy and as she
washed her face she was thinking how
she could catch more mice and show
Table and Blackie that she was just as
smart us they thought themselves to be.
Pusse White had a friend that lived
down the road SO she took herself
off to tell Peter Dog her troubles.
Peter was a very wise little fellow
and very fond of Pussie, for they had
played together when Pussie was n
kitten. and she had never scratched
him as the other kittens had done.
Il think l can help you, Pussie,"
said Peter. II nm not ut all fond Of
mice, but am sure l can catch them
and tonight If you can manage to
keep Blackie and Table away from
the barn 1 am sure we can catch mice
enough to surprise those two spiteful
creatures"
That night when the three pussies
were eating their supper in the farm
house kitchen Pussie White slipped
away before the others had finished.
Down the cellar stairs she ran and
climbed out of the window where
i there was an opening for the pussies
to go in and out
When Pussie White went out she
managed somehow to knock the board
that was fastened on the outside and
down 1t slipped right over the open
ing.
Some time later when Blackie and
Table wanted to go to the barn for
the night, as they always did, they
had to stay in the cellar all night.
The next morning Pussie White did
not care for her breakfast and smiled
to herself as she heard the farmers
wife say to the other pussies, IT guess
Pussie White caught all the mice last
night and you two did not catch any,
from the way you eat"
But her revenge was complete when
later Blackie and Tabbie ran into the
barn and could not find mouse, for
those that Peter and Pussie White did
not catch the night before were fright,
ened and ran away from the barn to
| live.

The reason Pussie White was SO un-

FORKS.

THE table fork is comparatively

in Venice by q Byzantine princess,
and Its use rapidly spread throughout
Italy. In an inventory Of the court
Of Charles v Of France. dated 1879,
there is mention Of silver forks; but
for some time the use Of these instru-
