THE LOST MOUSE

ONCE there was white mouse who
Travelled with a circus. He had
pink eyes and long white whiskers
and he belonged to clown. When
the clown was walking about the ring
OF the circus he would pull the white
mouse out of his pocket and let him
run up and down his sleeve and pre-
tend to be very much afraid of the
mouse, and the mouse would pretend
to bite his ear and they were very
happy together. All the children
used to laugh and shout when they
saw the tiny thing on the arm of the
clown, and the people in the back
rows would crane their necks and try
to see what was happening away
down below.
But one day the white mouse slid
through hole in the pocket of the
clowns ragged coat and got lost. He
looked and looked for his friend, the
clown, but he could not find him, so
he set out in the world for himself.
He ran across the circus ring and
frightened the big elephants nearly
into fits, then he ran faster and faster

My goodness" he said, the sky
is even farther away than the roof
of the circus tent. Isn't that funny?"
And he went on whistling to himself
through his long white whiskers, to
keep up his courage.
Before long he came to house.
though he did not know what it was
what queer brown thing, bigger
than an elephant he said to himself,
stopping his whistle in amazement.
Nov / wonder what's the use Of
that?7
He was brave little, white mouse,
so he hurried to find out what the big
brown thing was, for he had never
been inside a house. Luckily for him
there was no dog and no cat in the
house, for he quite forgot to be care
full. In front of the big brown house
there was a big hole, which was a
door, although he did not know it was
a door But he knew that holes could
be gone through, so in he went.
Inside the big brown house there
lived a family of very well-behaved
mice, brown, all of them, who never
made a noise in the walls at night or
nibbled the loaves of bread in the
pantry.
They were always on the watch for
what was going on in the big house
and so it happened they saw the white
mouse just as he came in the door
and they nearly tumbled over them
selves in their establishment, for they
had never before seen white mouse.
The brown mice crowded to the
edge of the mousehole, peering at the
white mouse and expect they felt
very much the way the poor Indians
did when they saw a white man for
the first time.
AT last one of the bravest of them
said: II am going to speak to him,
he has whiskers just like ours and
tail just like ours and eyes just like
ours; maybe he fell in the milk pan
and could not get it washed off,"
II don't believe that" said the sis
ter of the brave brown mouse, her
little nose wiggling in a funny way,
'sHe looks white all the way through"
When the brown mouse who was
brave enough to speak to the stran-
ger said, "Can l 10 anything for you,
sir?" in his very grandest manner,

little white mouse had never seen just
an ordinary mouse before.
But at last he got over his fright
and brown mouse persuaded him 10
come into his wall home and when
brave brown mouse's sister told white
mouse how nice it was to live there
he decided he would not try to find
his way back to the circus tent.

MEN YOU MAY MARRY
BY +. r. PEYsER

Has a man like this proposed
to you?
Symptoms: There's the man
who has made his pile. He is
hale and hearty, restless and has
retired from business. His
mother thinks he has been an
exemplary son. His sister has
never gone without a thing that
he could get for her. His small
brother has had the careful care
that only a big brother could
give him. He is good looking,
but appears unsatisfied. He be-
lieves he ought to get married.
His spinster friends believe he
should get married. Even his
bachelor friends have pre-
scribed marriage. He seems
restless, even after proposing to
you. He has spent his life in
the closest application to work.
You can't find anything in which
he is interested. He tells you
he is sick of baseball; golf is
an old mans game; art is not in
his line; cards he never liked
and why should he take 1t up
now? Reading is futile, for the
books are so poor; hunting Is a
tax on man of forty; and so
on.
IN FACT
He is the greatest tax on him
self.
Prescription to His Wife:
n You must get carloads OF
AZ poise and control from
somewhere! He wants you be-
cause he thinks you will make
him less fidgety. Dig up new
pastimes he has never had
chance to condemn. Make him
enthusiastic even over collecting
pebbles.

DDS used by the Indians, he discovered
their great remedial qualities, espe-

giving to the world a remedy which
has been used by women with the best
results for half century. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is still in great
demand, while many other so called

reason for it's phenomenal success is
because of its absolute purity, and DR..
