The house ba-by laughs to see him go, and dear-ly likes to pat his red hair, and feel his two stout lit-tle horns. And I think the barn ba-by likes to feel the soft hand of his lit-tle friend from the house, for some-times there is salt, and some-times there is su-gar on the lit-tle pink palm, and the barn ba-by licks it off with his rough tongue. Once the barn ba-by tried to say, "Thank you." He tried this way: He reached his head up and licked the house ba-by's rose-pink cheek. The house ba-by was scared, and so was the house ba-by's moth-er—and she ran in-to the house with him just as fast as she could; and then pa-pa laughed at them both, and the barn ba-by stood and looked o-ver the fence for half an hour.
A NEW KIND OF PUS-SY-CAT.
[PRET-TY, PRET-TY KIT-TY!]
[NAUGH-TY, NAUGH-TY KIT-TY!]
"Here is a pus-sy-cat,
A new kind of pus-sy-cat,
An odd, queer pus-sy-cat,
Lying on the sand;
"It does not look like Top-sy,
It does not look like Tab-by,
