the Library Of Congress for
information regarding it.
They state that in the past
few years they have had
numerous inquiries concern

remarks attributed to Manu-

have pursued painstaking re-

found.
Under these circumstances.

Casting the United States
as the mouse and the USSR
as the cat, a fable entitled
Perfect Love-" by Leonard j.
Seibel, appearing in the
Echo, yearbook Of st. Fidelis
College in 1885, could now be
adapted as a modern Russian
one-act play. 1t follows:
"Once upon a time a mouse
fell in love with q cat, and
they became very good
friends. They made a bargain
that the cat should never prey
upon the mouse family, and
that the mouse should never
tease the cat family. but that
they should help each other
in all things. The first favor
that grew out Of this friend
ship was that the mouse split
a half-pint bottle Of cream
and the cat was allowed to
lick 1t UP. To return the
mouse's kindness, the cat stole
a piece Of cheese from her
masters cupboard and gave
it to the mouse. AS time went
on, the friendship grew
warmer. Both creatures were
faithfully fulfilling their part
Of the bargain. Once the
mouse got his tail caught in
a trap; but the cat freed the
mouse, who lost part of his
tail. Then the mouse, to re-
pay the cat, bored a hole in
the cupboard door and stole
a smoked herring for the cat;
but while boring the hole he
broke several Of his teeth and
could not eat a slice of bacon
the cat had stolen. The
friendship became very cor

and the mouse planned to
elope. While they were rum
ming away. they met with a
boy. He tormented the cat;
and the mouse, in order to
protect his friend, ran up the
boys pants leg and tickled
him so that he had to let go
of the cat. The boy started
to throw stones at the brave
little mouse. But the boy was
put to flight when the cat got
in his hair and scratched and
scratched. Again the two
friends had returned each
others favors. The mouse,
however, had lost part Of his
tail, and several teeth; and
in the last encounter had re-
ceived a broken leg. The cat
was uninjured. but badly
frightened and said to the
mouse;
