The Cat and the Monae.
The mouse played a trick on the cat
one day
While she was sleeping over In the
hay.
He tied her tall In a great big knot
And hurt poor pussy an awful lot.
The mouse gave a leap and ran away
For fear the cat would come down
from the hay.
He ran in his fright right past a dog
Who was sitting dozing on a log.
The dog awoke as the mouse ran past
And started after him very fast.
He soon caught the mouse in his terri
ble flight
And gobbled him up in gay delight.
The Boat Sonar.
In my little boat I glide.
Sailing swiftly o'er the tide.
O'er the lake my boat doth go
Without oars with which to row.
Steering my little boat with care
So as not to run a snare.
The wind doth blow a mighty gale.
Thanks to my mast it does not fail.
Thanks to my boat so swift and strong
That it doth carry me along
On the lake so choppy and rough.
Thanks to my sails that are tough.

that they should not only go to col
lege, but that they should go to a col
lege where the masters were the best.
If a student goes to a college where
the masters are poor he loses a great
part of the benefit he might other
wise have derived. Dr. Shanklln Is
