3IK. RAT'S ONE LIFE
Mil. RAT .was cornered and he
knew If he tried to use force
with big Mr. Tom Ct he would come
to grief, so he used his wits, thinking
to gain time and by so doing' he might
gave his life. ' " ,S
"Before you take me," said Mr. Rat,
should like to know, Mr. Tom, If
It Is true that you have nine lives.
"I have often heard this, but I have
never believed it," and I should like to
know before I die from your own lips
the truth of this matter." ' .
."It is quite true," replied jTom; "I
hnve six lives left. Once I was" thrown
into a pond and came home. Another
time I tumbled off the limb of a tree
and fell into a hogshead of water and
was rescued, and once some bad boys
stoned me and left me for dead, but
I canic back and here I am."
"Well, well, I shall have to believe
you, Mr. Tom," saiL Mr. Jtalf "but
how I should love to really see you
die and come to life ! ; That would be
most interesting. v ' : -
"Suppose now you should jump, into
that meal box with the cover open.
and it should close and smother you,J
do you think you would come to life?
"Of course I would," said Tom,
knowing, that he would not smother,
and-, thinking how surprised Mr. Rat
would be to see him come out alive
after he thought him dead. : ;
"Want to. see me do. it?" he-asked.
"I should be delighted," said Mr.
Rat, "but I must say I do not. believe
you can. So do not takeJany' chances
on my account. You might not be
able to do it , this time." -
"Oh, if you had as many lives as I
have you would not be afraid," i said
Mr. Tom. "It must be very"uncom-
fortable to have only one life.-Well,
here I go. Now watch." -
When Tom jumped in, Mr, Rat, as
quick as a streak, ran u& Jh. box. and
tipped the cover, and downit came
with -a bang,' 'r K)k:
"Are you dead yet ? asked Mr.; Rat.
Mr. Tom, to make him think he was,
did not reply, but " whetf he tried. to
Jump out of the box," to his surprise,
the cover was so heavy he could not
move it. 7 ; : - .
Mr. Rat was safe, and he decided he

would not run Just yet; so he asked :
Are you there," Mr. Tom?" "1 "
"Yes, I came to life again ; open the
cover and x I will show, you," was the
reply." " ,
"Oh, m take your word for it," said
Mr. Rat. r "You have five lives left
and I, have only one, andVlf I let you
but my , one life ; would not be worth
a grain of - corn.--
"I .will take your word for it, Mr.
Tom, f h&t you are . alive, and as you
have five of your lives still left I-will
take care you do not see me again.
tiood-by. l hope you get out before
your other five lives are used up." ;"
Poor Mr. Tom meowed so loudly
that some, one heard him and let him
out, ; but , he stayed in", the meal box
so long that he almost smothered, and
he was not at all : sure aftery that
whether he had five lives left or only
One. (CopyriRht.) .
O-
BALANCE" , AND. f REMAINDER."
ALTHOUGH grammarians writing
in recent years say that the use
of balance" in the sense of "rest" or
"remainder Is now used so frequent-'
ly that It may be said to have become
a part of the language, they agree In
"asserting that a distinction should be
made between "balance" and "re
mainder." In this as In many other
cases, everyone must co-operate If the
purity of the English language Is to be
preserved. - v .
A ''balance" Is - the amount that
must be added to or subtracted from
one side of an account to make the
two sides agree; the word should not
be employed to Indicate the amount
or the number left after a part is
taken away. When it Is necessary
to express the latter meaning say
remainder" or "rest." For exam
ple, do not say, T ate half, of the ap
ple this morning, and expect to .eat
the balance this afternoon." Use
"remainder" or "rest."
