AS you will see. the bookcase is very
simple i'm construction. There are
four parts-two end pieces and two
side pieces, or shelves. Wood a half

neatly and smoothly planed on both
sides and of size large enough to
make the various pieces of the dimen-
sions shown in the picture. In the end
pieces the grain of the wood should
run lengthwise from G to ID, thus pre-
venting splitting. The height from

shelves. AS shown in the picture, they
are IS inches long by 2H inches wide.
and when they are completed they
should fit snugly into the end pieces
and remain solid without nails. The

Walled wildly.


Nisconsin's wild winds were whist

with wooden wrapper, wadded waist

Winnie Wade wondered why Willie
wouldn't wait until warmer weather,
when Winnie would walnut with Will

Willie wandered where Walter West
was wheeling wood, with wonderful
wheelbarrow, wishing Walter would

Without wasting words, Walter
whistled: "Whewl Walnmts will wait,

Where walnut woods we're, woodmen

TALES OF TWO CATS.
One Fancies stuffed Birds and the Other
Steals "A Watch.

"Jim" is n very intelligent cat, the
pride of all the clerks in a well-known
business house on Market street. Jim
has become thoroughly familiar with
"men and things" but the other day
an incident occurred which shows that
even the most intelligent cats can some
times be mistaken. 1t happened that
a young lady entered the store in ques-
ton, wishing TO pay bill. She was
told to take seat on a large settee
while the Office boy obtained the re-
ceipt. Now, the back of this settee
rests against a railing.which incloses
the Office. This railing is very much
like a back yard fence, and for that
reason is favorite place for Jim. He
was in this place when the lady took
the seat, and he cast admiring glances
ut her. She was neatly attired in black
and had large stuffed bird in her hat.
Everything went we'll until Jim spied
this bird, and with jump he was on
Ter hat, much to the alarm and fright
OF the lady, who instantly jumped To
her feet, screaming loudly. Jim was
quickly removed, but could not DE
driven away while the lady remained IN
the store.
Here is another eat story: James
Bell of 1923 South Twenty-third street,
owns a pretty maltese cat, whose only
fault is lleptomania. Madge is the
cats name, and she steals anything
that comes her way. While Mr.. Bell
was eating his supper few evenings
ago he was startled by funny noise
on the stairs. Running in the direc-
ton OF the racket, he bcheld the thiev-
ing cat coming downstairs with his gold
| chain in her mouth, while the watch
was humping against each step, much
10 the delight OF the cat. Quickly seiz-
ing his timepiece, Mr.. Bell made lunSe
for the cat, but Madge escaped. Lately
| the family has been at loss 10 know
what Madge had done with her kittens.
| Their whereabouts were discovered by
Mr.. Bell, who found the tiny creatures
| cozHy nestled i'm his new silk hat.-Phil-

She stood behind the golden rail
With other singers:
To bring them back my efforts fail:
Her vision fingers.
Face after face they all have fed
Through memorys portal;
One after one they all are dead;
She Is immortal.
They sang for fame. or praise. or pay.
And won and Lost them
Baubles that tarnish and decay
Where time hath tossed them.
The music that they made II gone
Past all returning:
The music that she made goes on
Like the stars burning.
For heaven and earth to bring more neal

She sings forever.

Is growing clearer,

Spaniarls and natives in the Philip
pine islands are rivals in savagery, and
tine rebellion against Spanish authority
rives the world fresh lesson in the pos
sibilities OF human cruelty. One fea-
ture of the instruction has dime-novel
realism in its details. The formation OF
an alliance among the rebels is thus
described An incision is made with n
penknife in the left arm or the left

mingled blood from the wounds. The
oath taken binds those concerned 20
secrecy and. 10 refrain from fighting
against their brethren. The blood com
pact ftly symbolizes the relentless
spirit OF the ratives, who meet the al
most incredible horrors inflicted by the
Spaniards with acts of reprisal which
almost surpass them. An indolent and
easily-satisfied people arc now reused
to rebellion against corruption and OPP
preston. and Spain has thus another
grave question TO settle. What with
