The Evening Game
When daddy holds me on his knee
A-playin' Creep-er-Mouse,
He walks his fingers up my legs,
An' all around my blouse,
Nen drives the mouse into its house
In underneaf my chin,
An' I des laugh an' laugh an' laugh—
An' nen say, "Do it agin!"
It's dretful when he's climbin' up,
It makes me shiver some,
But I des double up my fists
An' watch the old mouse come;
It's worser, heaps, when in he creeps
Up underneaf my chin.
I laugh till daddy has to stop—
Nen I say, "Do it agin!"

One of the latest kitchen novelties is a spoon holder, which hangs on the inside of any preserving kettle and holds the stirring spoon when not in use. They are made of aluminum and will not rust.
By using one, you dispense with saucer, cup or plate to hold the spoon, and the spoon is always ready for use and always where it is to be used. After you have once used this little article you would not part with it for five times its cost.
