A BOOK OF CHEERFUL CATS
[Illustration: Some Fun with a Toy Spider.]
[Illustration]
A little Girl asked some Kittens to tea
To meet some Dolls from France;
And the Mother came, too, to enjoy a view
And afterwards play for the dance.
But the Kittens were rude & grabbed their food
And treated the Dolls with jeers;
Which caused the Mother an aching heart
And seven or eight large tears.
[Illustration]
Sing, sing! What shall we sing?
The cat's run away with the pudding-bag string.
[Illustration]
They were happy and did laugh
When their friend, the big Giraffe,
Tried his speed along the highway with the cars.
[Illustration]
But their joy was turned to grief
When their charger bit a leaf
That was growing in a region near the stars.

A DUTIFUL PARENT.
Cried a cat to his wife, "See, my dear,
The superlative Circus is here!
With the children we'll go,--'tis our duty, you know,
Their young minds to enlighten and cheer."
[Illustration: A CASE OF HIGHWAY ROBBERY]
Said a Cat to his sons, "I should deem
This blithe Picture-Book Boy carried cream."
[Illustration]
"Let us give him a scare,
So he'll leave it right there."
This will show the success of the scheme.
