Tlicn Captain Thomas put up his oyoglu -,a and stood up at tho hack of tho box nml listened very attentively. But just, as Miss Whiteear was in tho middle of ihe first verso ft poor lit tlo mouso Tan across < he platform in front of her. At onco Miss Whitoear stopped singing nml sprang ab the mouse. Tins so excited Ca|iluin Thomas that ho jumped out cf tho bo.v and ( rieil to assist Miss Whiteear to eai'li it. j ;ut tliey wero not quick enough, and the mouso got back to his holo, where they could not catch him. Miss Whiteear was too tired with tho hunt to go on singing, and so tho concert cujito to a .sudden end. "Xext time," said tho captain, "I will tuk<! care to catch that moiiM)." •i3ut how about Miss Whiteoor?" nsked Lady Tabilha. 1 ' .She .sings well enough, " answered Captaiu Thomas, "but sho ought certainly to tab> lessons in mouse catching." The Monkeys ami the Oyster. 'J' wo hungry monkeys were onco journeyin^ along the washoro when they came across a fiuo largo oyster. ■ This belongs to me," said ono monkey, quirkly picking it up. 1 ( )h, no, my friend," replied tho othor. "1\ is really mine, for I saw it beforo you did." 'l hoy then began to quarrel and fight nix 'ut it wh.cn a fox happened to pass that xmy. "Shaino upon you both," said rcyliiin!. "Why are you thus trying to kill oii.; another? Let mo know what is the nia: ier." 'i i iu monkeys thereupon ceased thoic flu;,: ing «"!<1 begged the fox to decide tho m-> ■ whitfii ho at onco agreed to do. ■ ; must ilrst find out," eaid tho fox, br>. king open the oyster, "whether thero ! bi> ; \y meat inside." V, :ien ho had satisfied himself on this poi,M, lu>, seated himself upon a big stono j O;n! iriedto look as wise as possible. Ha ! tin :i took up one of tho (shells, and pro- j seii' ing it to tho monkey on his right hand j lie :id gravely, "This portion rightly be- I Ion.: s to you for Boeing tho oyster first," | and taking up the other she'll lie gavo it to | the ■ nonkcy on his left hand, saying, "This lx-l'.'iigs to you, of course, for you had tho j te'oiHi fortune to pick it up." Then, before j tin-;" wero aware ot what ho was doing, ho ! swallowed tho whole of the oyster, and in j tho next moment remarked, "I (laro Fay I y;>u know that a judge earns his living to tho saiiw way as ot her folk, so Iho inBldo due to mo for deciding your difficult-, case." T;uj moral of this little fablo can be Efcfi-ly left, to tho intelligence of young folk : , with the f-iuglu remark that disputes abound in ihis world. How to Dismount From a Bicycle. Tsio best way to dismount from n eafoty whc.ii traveling fa:;fc is by tho backward motion, and not by the pedal, as is usually don:'. Thus, when tho left hand pedal ia risii. ; - , the body should bo raised in the tsiiddie and tho weight thrown onto the ped.i!, at the same time slipping off the back of tho saddlo, meeting tho ground will; tho riyhfc foot. Of coursotho left foot will quickly follow; then, letting tho machine run ut arm's length and holding i onit. the saddlo, a run of a few yards, acconling to pace, will quickly bring both ,tidci' and machine to a standstill. With a iiuv practice, a dismount can bo safely accomplished in this way when traveling at ilia i-.ito of 15 miles an hour and oven fasta, tucording to Golden Days. I "Please, May I Come Oat?"
