That very odd Creature the bat

And the beasts all declare
That he struck out for fair
And made a home run with the cat
THE little white mouse lived in a
cage and almost all day long- it
' went up and down on the wheel
staircase of its prison. Sometimes it
was allowed to go out and play about
the room but someone always watched
the little thing and put jt back into
its cage. Some of the children won-
dered wli'y the white mouse was so
sleepy all day for thpy had no idea
that it stayed awake most of the night.
There was a little gray mouse that
Jived lit the wainscoting and it too
slept most of the day but when night
Came .its little bead-like eyes shone in
the darkness 1'ke fire flics pnd it was
busy every moment of the time. In the
first place it would hurry down to the
kitchen part of the house to get some-

itself a ncto hole with its sharp little

When it had finished "t task it was
ready for a nice talk with the .littlo
white mouse who was alwiij's waiting
impatiently for. it The gray mouse
would tell about the kitchen in such
realistic way that the white mouse
could have told just where the flour
barrel and the breakfast foods and oth-
er things were to be found. Then it
would tell about the fine' time it had
running through some papers in tha
room next door for mice arc very
fond of newspapers. The white mouso

.riot know whether he should like to go
with the. gray mouse as he tfould not

rible thing happened. Whtlc the gray
mouse was telling 'the w-hitc mouso
about the kitchen and at jhe same time
balancing itself by its tail a gray cat
crept in and caught the poor littlo
mouse by the head anl went out of
the door with it in her mouth. Tho

a great deal for a couple of days and
then another gray tnousc came to keep
it company at night but they both kept
