It must be pleasant to have your home where there' al ways plcpty to eat, whenever you happen to feel hungry." "Mis Kitty Cat and old Spot al ways fare well," Mr. Mouse ad mitted. "But I've often gone to bed half starved. Maybe you didn't know that Mrs. Green is terribly neat. She doesn't leave much food s round fori Mice." "Well," Grunty, remarked, "it's an l:onor, anyhow, to live in thi farm house. You ought not to complain about the food,, even if it ii a bit scarce at times. I'd be glad to live there. And I dare say I'd find plenty to eat. ; The farmhouse is where the sour milk comes irom." "If you feel like that," said Moses Mouse, "why don't you come to the farmhouse for the winter, anyhow?" Grunty I'ig shook his head. "Not" he said, half to himself. "Mo I I can't do it." "Why not?" Mr. Mouse wanted to know. "I've never been invited," Grunty told him, with something like a frown. v. Moses Mouse surprised him with a merry Jaugh, "Hoi" he , exclaimed. ''.Neither have I. If I had waited for au in vitation I wouldn't be living in the farmhouse, i, I'd have sliiveu-d my days out in the barn." . Grunty . Pig looked at his caller with growing interest. He would have said that so tiny a gentleman tould be too timid to crowd in where he wasn't asked. . "Don't wait any longer for an in vitation," Moses Mouse urged him. "Go to the farmhouse and walk right i in." "Ougha't I to rap?" Grunty in quired. - "Certain tly notl" said Moses Mouse. "Make' yourself right at home. Act as if the farmhouse be longed to you. That's the way I do. And nobody ever bothers me, ex cept. Miss . Kitty Cat or Miss Snooper.' as we mice call her. 'Even she can't-drive me away from the farmhouse.

"Yest": said Moses Mouse. "And I 'hope she has gone for good." s Then." said Grunty Pig, "it ought to""be. quite safe for me to go to the farmhouse. And as soon as 1 have a chance to get . out of this pen I'll do as you suggest." - "Qoodl'' cried Moses Mouse. And he said that he hoped to have many H 'chat .with Grunty, at ths farm house.

Parents' Problems How "can a vell-meaning girl of 12, who: is sometimes a little offi cious,, be helped without having her kindly impulses unduly checked? Every care should be taken not to check this girj'a kindly impulses, not to chill her helpful ardor. The world is full of opportunities for helpful ness. In order to prevent the girl's offering help where it is not needed, show her where it is needed. Of fering help where help is ceded is nver officiousness, , Where It Started Gas Lighting. Dr. John Clayton, about 1688, is supposed to, ha ve been the first to produce illuminating gas from coal; he used the gas, however, merely as a scientific toy.
