FAT MOUSE’S ESCAPE
R. FAT MOUSE—his friends
called him Fatty for short—de­
cided one day that he would move
from the house where he lived in the
pantry wall because there were so
many mice living in the neighbor­
hood.
“When I first came here " said Fatty
to himself one day when he was
thinking how hard It was for him to
keep fat and round, “there were only
five mice living In the wall, and now I
cannot count them. It is time for me
to move, and I shall look about this
very night for a new home."
So when all the other mice were
busy running over the pantry shelves

Fatty Mouse ran out of the door and
under the kitchen sink, where he
found a hole large enough for him to
get through.
He jumped Into the yard and ran for
a long time, and then next night found
Fatty in his new home in the pantry
of a house far away.
But Fatty Mouse had no home In
:
the wall of this pantry, and he had to
hide In the daytime behind boxes and
palls and anything be could, for there
had never been a mouse in this pan­
try and there were no nice places to
run in when anyone came in the door.
But there was plenty to eat, and
Fatty ate all night and slept all day,
and he was sure he had found a pleas­
ant place to live in even if be had no
companions.
One day while he was resting be­
hind a basket what should happen but
that some one came in the pantry and
lifted the basket from the floor, and
poor Fatty Mouse had to run.
Around and around the pantry he
flew while some one chased him with
a broom, and a dreadful puss Joined
in the chase as well.
Just as Fatty was sure he was lost
he ran up the side of the flour barrel
and Jumped to the shelf, and as quick
as a flash he ran along to the door,
which was open, and with a leap he
was in the kitchen.
The outside door was open, and out
went Fatty Mouse, and no one found
him. All day he rested, and when it
was dark he ran back to the house
where he had lived so long in the
pantry wall.
“It may not be so easy to get food
here,” he said, as he thought it over
when he was safe In the wall, "but It
Is much safer here, for there are so
many mice living here that the other
fellow may be caught when they hunt
for me.
“When I lived alone In the pantry I
was the only one they were after, and
my life was not worth a crumb. I
shall stay here as long as I live, and
never move again, for all mice look
alike to cats and people.”

EARLY WRINKLES
the first wrinkle Is something a woman
discovers suddenly one day, when she
glances Into the mirror. How many
tragedies of past youth are fought out
over the discovery—well, only those
who have watched these lines appear
can tell.
Yet— wrinkles are seldom a sign of
age, at least upon their first showing.
Indeed, their sudden appearance shows
this; tlie skin that was unlined a week
ago has a few lines in It today. This
is not age—It's temporary III health.
Because I claim that the first wrin­
kles are the result of poor health, does
not mean that I want you to neglect
