BABY’S CORNER.
POOR TABBY.
TABBY thought she was a very smart cat, but there were some rats living in the barn who knew almost as much as Tabby did herself.
One morning Tabby went to the barn. She had tried for days to catch a rat, but just as she got her paw out to strike one off he scampered. “To-day I shall get the old gray rat, see if I don’t,” said Tabby to herself as she walked down the path.
She stepped softly into the door. But what was this new shining thing she saw?
THE GRAY RAT TANTALIZES TABBY.
Why, Farmer Jones had put a big trap there to catch the rats.
