MICE CHEER PRISONER.
How two mice helped to while away the lonely hdurs for a convict, who made them his prison pets, was revealed recently by Mr W. W. Jemmett, secretary of the Central Discharged Prisoners’ Aid Society in London. “ A prisoner once came to me on the morning of his release with two mice,” said Mr Jemmett. “ They were his prison pets. He had tamed and trained them, and they were called Joey and James. They would always come to their master when he called or whistled them. And when he walked out of the prison gates after his release he took them with him in a little cage.”
