Kitty Goes to Church.

1t was a. bright Sunday morning, but
Kitty was not happy. Auntie Nell
wouldn't play with her because she was.
writing letter, and Bridget was stuff
ling a turkey for dinner, and said to
her Run away, noW!'' and mamma
was gone far away on the choo-choo
cars, SO she went to Uncle Billies
room. 3ss .5.5-#s AZ s<tt i
E Uncle Billie would play with his
"pard,' she thought; 81 but, no, Uncle
Billie was going to church. He was
even then putting on the beautiful blue
tie that Miss Mary Sweet gave him.

lisped. ~

fondly around the knees. -.5....

Betsey down hard and roared.
Well, uncle's soft heart gave in, and
so Auntie Nell tied on the new blue
sash and big white bonnet and Betsy
tBlowsy wore her green dress with the
yellow ribbon. For Kitty would not be
bribed to leave her doll at home.
:, So uncle took them both, and they
went with much dignity. When they
reached the pew Kitty put Betsy in
the middle and told her to keep still.
During the long prayer Kitty-wee
grew SO restless that uncle was worried

home, he started her off, for home was
only two blocks distant and Kitty knew
the way ss-.s KS MEa
In about ten minutes, when the min
lister was reading the text and there
was a deep hush over the house, there
came little tap at the baize door
and then another. People looked I'M
easy. The tapping became repeated
blows, SO the deacon slipped to the
door-and there was Miss Kitty. &
Uncle Bill was about three seats
from the front, and of course he had
mt looked around, because that's bad
manners, you know, in church. But he /
saw others smile, and heard giggle
from a boy behind him. Even the min
ister's eyes tWinkled and everybody
glanced at Uncle Billy. .s
So, with a start, he turned-and be-
! held forlorn Kitty coming toward him.
Her hat on one ear. her curls flying,
her sash dragging, Betsy Blowsy hang
ing sadly by one red leg, as in sorrow
for her mammals sobs and tears.
Uncle took the grief stricken pair in
his arms and Kitty Wepts aloud --veery

sobbing Kitty down the aisle, and
from the church, and she pointed to an
old brindle COW that peacefully ate
the grass by the roadside. ssShe looked

1t has long been a disputed question
whether America was peopled from
Asia. The chief argument against the
theory that man made his approach
to this continent across Boring strait
has been the lack OF resemblance in
culture between the aborigines of this
country and the known races of ASH
This may be accounted for, Washing
ton scientist maintains, by the fact
that all the Asiatic arts and customs
would in the course of generations
have been frozen out of any migratory
peoples in their getting around Bering
strait. AS the tribes moved northWard
they would lose tine characteristic Of
their life, one after another, notably
agriculture and domestic animals. until

eording to this theory, early man
