BS. TABBY felt highly Insulted one morning when she went in to the burn and found five traps placed near holes where the mice lived! "The very idea.” said Mrs. Tabby to her four kittens, "just as if I could not attend to this without these traps around. "Children, I want you to pay strict attention to what I say, for you are now old enough to help, and it may be that I have given more time to playing with you than to ray work. Now you must help. I want each of you to watch near one of these traps and when a mouse runs out of its home don't let him get into the trap—CATCH HIM." After telling her children this, Mrs. Tubby sat down to watch near the fifth trap herself and soon all were so busy watching for a mouse that they forgot each other. Tommy Kit, however, grew tired of watching, nnd after staring hard a M long time at the hole he was to watch he grew sleepy and, curling up on the floor, soon was fust asleep. Tommy Kit had the mouse on his mind, though, and so he dreamed about mice, and in his dream he thought two fat mice ran out of the hole he was set to watch. Up Jumped Tommy Kit and pounced upon them, catching a mouse In each paw.

"Your brothers have each caught one. 1 am ashamed that a child of mine should be so stupid.” "But I did catch two," said 'rimi- my Kit, not quite sure lie had dreamed it. “ I hud one in each paw when the trap clicked. I could not catch three, mother, now could I, for I have oul> two front paws?” “ Tw o mice at the same time I" ex claimed his mother. Tommy Kit was now wide awake. “ I— I guess I dreamed It,” he said. “ I dreamed I caught two mice, one in each paw, and 1 was Just going t0 show them to you when the trap clicked." Mrs. Tabby quickly boxed her son on the ear. “ Y’ ou fell asleep, did you?” she snid. "N ow you sit here und catch two mice before you get a drop of milk.” Off trotted Mrs. Tabby with her other children, while Tommy sat sad ly watching the hole. Out ran three mice and Tommy ran after them. He caught one and then seeing the other hiding behind a barrel he quickly went after thnt, while n third was so frightened lie ran right into the trap. “ I could not help It mother," ex claimed Tommy Kit, us he proudly dis played the mice. "That is all traps are good for,” said Mrs. Tabby, “ to catch the third mouse while you are chasing two, and now you children must catch two mice und drive the third into a trap We will soon clear this place nnd be rid of these Insulting traps as well." But It was not long before all the kittens were sprawled out in the sun fast asleep, for they lmd cleared the mice from the barn; but Tommy, If he had any more dreams, did not tell them to his mother. (Copyright.) T EORGIA lias a deeply religious origin among the Marinite Christians who have a tradition that Georgos was a Christian sentinel ut 1 »limitsous who connived at the es cape of Kt. I ’aul when he was let down in the basket, and was tlirrefore put to death. The next Georgos was a Cappadocian saint und martyr in whose honor Em|>eror Constantine erected n church at Byzantium. Throughout all early church history Georgius appears as siiint, martyr or hero until, finally, the fnmous St. George of the Dragon legend became renowned in Englund. Curiously enough, though George penetrated every country of the west, being adopted by Englund, France, Hungary and Gennany, the feminine is quite a modernism. It was uot until comparatively recent years that Anne of Denmark was instrumental in hav ing a godchild of hers christened Geor- giu Anna. She was the first English Georgia, though the name is said to have existed previously on the conti nent. It Is possible that this same Georgia Anna coupled her two names for the sake o f euphony and is re sponsible for the Georgian« which is now so populur in all English-speak ing countries. G The French adopted Georgia, hut quickly chungeil her to Georglne and Georgette. Germany liked Georgina and took her over, making her one of her most popular feminine names. England lias a form Georgina nnd l ’ortugal is responsible for Georgetla. In America alone does the original Georgiu seem to flourish.
