1t is small wonder the old Egyptians

own times puss is a mighty uncanny
bundle of fur, claws, and antipathies.
Occasionally, but only occasionally, she
has also sympathies. Beyond all other
animals, her affection is caprlcious and
timeserving. One pampered tortoise shell
tyrant always manifested the most sllken
and lofty indifference for her owner, ex-
cept upon the days when he said casually:
II think 1 shall go fishing" No matter
what she was doing, tapping cream or
washing her face in the sunshine, as soon
as she heard that she ran to him, rubbed
herself against his legs, and set up a loud
purring. She seemed to know when he
had gone, and watched for his return,
often meeting him a the outer gate, half
a mile from the house. If a string OF
perch and trout dangled at his saddle
bow she ran before him to the door,
mewing delight. If ne had been unlucky,
after one long dsdainful stare, she skunk
off into the woods and was Invisible until
next day. Unless she were given at onco

On the evening Of Nov 10Th dele
cation of Royal Neighbors from Val
ley camp, No 1867, Hudson, Wis, re.
sponded to an invitation, given some
time previous, to visit State Seal camp
OF River Falls. While we had to con-
tend with the disadvantages Of a
stormy night, we managed to wrap
ourselves in robes, inside closed cab,
and enjoyed very pleasant drive.
Arriving at River Falls, we found
they we're waiting to welcome US.
After short time spent socially the
camp was called to order in form
Their work was done with a prompt
ness and neatness that was very pleas
ing to those who we're entertained.
Their form of extending welcome TO
visitors in open lodge was very nice;
much to be preferred to the more GER
emonious forms, which are in order.
Their floor work-well, don't say one
critical word. for it was fine. How we
wish we could compete with them
but don't give up in despair; remem-
Der the old adage, ''try again."
Then came their literary entertain
ment, consisting of recitations and in
strumental music and an essay: all of
which were well rendered and greatly
enjoyed by those present, after which
the session was adjourned, and all
were invited to partake of nicely
prepared oyster supper.
