Douglas -At- KANSAS. WICHITA, RANDMA sat at the window one afternoon, knitting. In a group, on the gronnd below, sat three little boys dressed in blue sailor suits, red stockings and polo caps. What nice looking little boys, thought grandma. Presently up jumped one little boy and said, Come on, fellows, lets play something All right, said another boy, One-old-cat.

Then they all ran into the house. Hear me said grandma, I thought they were good boys; but they seem to be going to tease pussy. In a few minutes they came back. One of them carried a large club, while another had something which grandma, who could not see very well, took to be a stone. Oh, what cruel boys thought the old lady.

Its bad enough to tie things to a cats tail; but to beat her with a club and to throw stones at her is still worse. Ill be pitcher, shouted one of the boys. There said grandma, he says hell pitch her. Who wouid believe that boys in red stockings and blue suits could be so cruel? Ill be inner, cried another boy. Inner I said grandma.

AVhat does that mean Some new expression, I have no doubt, which I never before heard; but an old lady of eighty years cant be expected to keep up with the times. Its something dreadful, of course. Rut what was the old ladys surprise when the boys threw aside their blue jackets, and two of them began to throw the stone back and forth, one to the other; while the third boy stood between, striking at it as it llew through the air, and sometimes hitting it and sometimes not. There they staid all the afternoon doing the same thing. Why, said grandma, putting on her glasses, and looking more closely, I eclaro I theyre only playing ball, after all.

Well, lrm glad theyTre not so cruel as I thought them. They are such pretty little boys, and have such pretty red stockings, too I But, said slie, after a long pause, there is still one thing that troubles me: Where is the old cat? Nursery. WM. T. DAMONS, N.
