Tommy tippetoe was a little
brown n*>usf that lived behind the
wall of the kitchen cupboard in Mary
Jane's bouse. Mary Jane's mother
scolded Tommy Tippetoe often, es-
pecially when he would eatabigpiece
out of the cake, or nibble the cheese.
But he always kept coming around.
One day Mary Jane's mother said to
TommieTippetoe; "Now, listen to me.
You and I are going to be very bad
friends if you don't turn over a new
leaf, and quit bothering folks. Why
Can't you behave yourself?"
Tommy got pretty red in the face,
and he culled his tail up, But finally
he said, "111 tell you what 111 do. Yon
give me a can of that delicknn Mary.
Jane Syrup, all for myself, and IH take
it away out in the woods, and won't
ever bother you again."
And Mary Jane's Mother did, and
he went away. So everybody is happy
now. And they have Mary Jane Syrup
with their waffles, pancakes and corn
bread and bread and butter every day;
And sometimes Mary Jane and the
girls have'the greatest fun making
taffy, and the most delicious candy you
ever tasted with Mary Jane Synip.
