Mother Hubard's Cupboard

j FOR THE CHILDREN. I

If the sea wasn't so wet I should enjoy bathing!—SMlLEß the ChlatZ Dog.

I GREEN EYES ! The rat that hadn't got a tall, and called ! herself a Manx, Declared she couldn't stand the things, and j | would have one—thanks! ; But when she met the I'ersian pass who'd j won the cat show prize, She grew so madly jealous, that since taen . she's had green eves! ■ " W U I'i'lE." Wuffie was a fat Chow puppy. He used to live in a big barrel with a straw ■ in it. One day a mouse came into hir."ien, because pussy was running after, it. ! Wuffie would not let pussy get the mouse hut kept him safe. So the mouse was ever so grateful, and brought , Wuffie a big bit of cheese. Chow puppies . love cheese. So kind Wuffie was rewarded for being god to the mousie. A PET'S RACE. This is the hugest fun. You ask the , girls and boys who are coming to the , party to bring pets, and enter them for . the "Great Animal Race. Any sort of pet can come. But you will have to j give a start to some of them or it would not be a fair race. Suppose a tortoise came, he must have | a very big start. And a big dog must not have a start at all. X pussies come, then they must have a race to themselves, but the dogs, tortoisas, goats, or kids, and even the cocks and hens, can all try together, j Yon -will laugh till yon cry. \ The owners must stand at the end of j the course and call, but the pets must i run'or walk all by themselves. 1 think ; the nicest way is to have a prize for everyone; convolution prices they are call— when you don't really win. The ; real winners would be the first, the se- | cord, and the third. The owners can hold out a nice tit-bit to it—ko their pets run. but they must | not move from the end of the course to I help them.
