"But how about Miss Whiteear?" asked J_ady Tabitha. * * "She sings well enough, "answered Captain Thomas, "but she ought certainly to take lessons in mouse catching. " • The Moh-teys and tlio Oyster. Two hungry monkeys wero ouce journeytog along tho seashore when they came across a fine largo oyster. " ' ' This belongs to me, ' ' said one monkey, quickly pickinp: it up. • "Oh, no, my friend," replied the other. "It is really mi no, for I saw it before you did." » Thoy then began to qnnrrel and fight about it when a fox happened to pass that Way. "Shamo upon you both," said rey- i nard. "Why are you thus trying to kill one another? Let me know what lathe matter." Tho monkeys thereupon ceased their fighting raid begged tho fox to decide the <!ase, wli-Si? he at once agreed to do. 'I must first find out," said the fox, hronking open tho oyster, "whether thero lie any meat ir-side." Wh-. n ho had _:itisfied himself on this point, ho sealed hi_u_e__ upon a big stone and tried to look us wi_o as possible. He , then too _ up ono of tho shells, and presentiny it. to tho monkey on his right hand ' he said yiavely, "This portion rightly be- , longs to you for seeing tho oyster first," i and taking- np 'he otber shell ho gave it to thomonloyon 1)3.. lefr hand, saying, "This i belong !•>'.-.- •■-:i 1 of c< ■lu-so, for you had the I quod f.. i mo '■•■> ul-'-z 1., up."

With a tittle practice, a dismount can be safely accomplished in this way when traveling at ihe rate of 15 miles an hour and even fa_tfer, according to Golden Daya "Flea-e, Slay I Come Out?** "Oh, please' may I come out?
