HOW Mr.. TOM CAT CUl-
TIvATED HIS VOICE

There were few cats in all animal
land who had better voices than Mr..
Tom Cat He knew all the latest SON $
and could sing them with an earnest
ness and vigor that aroused the ad-
miration of his friends and the envy Of
his enemies. 1t was his proud b1a I
that nobody within three blocks of h M
could sleep through one of his nightly
open air concerts.
II Mr.. Tom Cat had been given a
penny for every window that had been
opened. for every head that had been
stuck out. for every missile that had
been thrown at him while he was
singing. he would have been very
wealthy cat indeed.
But, like great many people, Mr..
Tom Cat was not satisfied. He was
not contented to let well enough alone.
He wanted to become still more IA
nous. He wanted his voice to swell
out upon the night air until its volume
was SO great that It would sound like
two cats singing instead of one. As
he did not know exactly how to attain

this end he decided to consult some one
who could enlighten him. And 1t was
Just here that he made his mistake.
Instead Of going to friend for ad-
vice he sought rival, cat that could
sing as well rs he. This cat naturally
did not want Mr.. Tom to improve. AMI
% he was not liable to give any good
advice
Eat pound Of sawdust," he said
to Tom. and Tom very foolishly went
OF to carpentes shop and bought the
sawdust and ate It.
Then he sat down and began to
think. and the longer he sat the more
he thought. And while he thought he
suffered the worst pain that he had
ever been called upon to suffer In all
his life. The sawdust weighed on his
stomach like ton OF lead. The tears
came into his eyes. and he could not
stop them. II wns almost enough to
kill him, and II Is great wonder that
It did not kill him.
II was three whole days before he
could resume his nightly songs. and he
found his voice had not improved one
whit. But there were two good lessons
be learned-1rst, to be contented with
what he had. and. second, never to try
to make . meal ON sawdust-Dstroit

che Old Constitution.

The Constitution originally carried
forty-four guns. A particularly inter-
esting history is connected with this
ship. During the war with the Barbary
powers in 1903 she was Commodore
Preble's flagship in the Mediterranean
and played conspicuous part during
the whole war. Lieutenant Wadsworth,
who was blown up before Tripoli in the
i'll fated Intrepid, was one of the Off
GERS of the Constitution. In the course
of the war with England in 1912 the
English papers laughed at the Constitu-
tion and spoke of her as ga bundle of
pine boards sailing under bit of strip
ed bunting" But when under Captain
Hull she captured the English Frigate
Guerriere, vessel of nearly equal
force, the people who had before ridi-
culed her called her zone of the stanch-
est vessels afloat." A few months aft
er this victory the Constitution, then
commanded by Captain Bainbridge,
compelled one of the finest frigates in
the British navy, the Java, to strike its
colors.-Ex.

With treasures rich, with treasures past compare
No manuscripts it holds of Poe, or Scott
And many are the autographs I've not;
In yonder alcove, over to the left,
You'll find spot of rarest tones bereft;
And there upon the walnut chiffonier
There stands no folio of Will Shakespeare
Now turn the key of that not-buhl.work chest,
And gaze into its depths; no rare prints rest
Therein-just try pray, to take one out:

Are, all of them, the rarest of the rare;
And those editions of the Poets past

ly Accused" intimates that the author
OF Ecclesiastes "Wasat one time king
over Israel in Jerusalem, but at the
time of his writing had ceased so to
be-" Granting that by "king over Is
raeP' is meant king over Judah" then
there were four kings whose reigns end
ed before their demise: Uzziah, who
was leper: Jehoahaz, who ended his
days in Egypt, captive to Pharoah
Necho; and Jehoiachin and Zedekiab,
who were carried captive to Babylon.
But not one of the acts or peculiarities
that the Preacher ,enumerates as per-
tanning to himself, can be ascribed to
these kings, or any one of them Hence
we have no grounds for believing one
OF them wrote Ecclesiastes. Then there
was Manesseh, Who was deprived of,
and later on restored to his kingdom; !;
but there is as much difference between
him and the king described by the
Preacher, as there Is between day and
night. And since these are the only
kings to whom the aOrist tense of the
word twas" in Ecclesiastes 1: 12 could
apply, we must conclude that either
the book of Ecclesiastes is full of de-
liberate lies, or thst the aorist tense is
a myth.
If Mr.. E. regards Ecclesiastes as a
masterpiece, then to him the world
must seem full of masterpieces. If Mr..
E. will take the trouble to interview
all the discontented persons under the
sun-in or out of prison-he will find
millions who have never read Ecclesi-
astes, who yet hold the same opinions
as did the Preacher, and proclaim them
with force and picturesqueness equal
to that of the man who wrote Gall is
vanity" The Preacher catches an oc-
casional glimpse Of the truth; but no
sane person would call the desert of
Sahara pleasant country, or a master
piece of nature, because there are few
oases in it. $500.

whereby the income is increased. My
idea is to try to cause better use of
the income as it now exists as the first
step. The increase would then proba-
bly, follow naturally. This can only be
accomplished, it seems to me, by the ed
ucation of the masses along more prac-
tical lines. Less time should be spent in
teaching studies that are of little use
in every day life and more time given
to teaching some trade. Chicago can
boast of a very complete manual train
ing school. A visit to this institution
shows wonderful work in carving,
wood working, carpentry and black
smithing by young boys. 1t is safe to
say that very few boys receiving an ed
ucation of this kind and knowing a
trade, will ever become paupers or even
be poverty stricken. IT there is occa-
sionally one it is due to Unborn cussed-
ness that no conditions can remove.
Practical education makes practical
men and women, and practical men and
women are more likely than not to
make good use of the income and re-
duce the waste.
In reading of Booker Washington's
plan of education along practical lines,
one can not help thinking that this is
not only the solution of the problem
confronting the negro race, but is also
the correct remedy for the greater part
of the troubles of the white race. AS
rule, the one who knows a little of
everything and not much of anything
practical is the one to be left behind in
the race of life. G.J,

discover cure for them.
The words, poverty and.pauperism are
here used with distinct difference. One
who has overstepped the line and gone
from condition of poverty into condi-
tion in which he becomes public charge,
we recognize as a pauper. We have
often come in contact with persons,
who, altho in condition of power
ty, refuse to take the step further,
which would bring them into pauper-
ism. We often hear of persons under
going the most severe privations rather
than become public charge. They
continue to struggle on, until perhaps
the clouds enveloping them lift, some
sunshine enters their life, altho it may
be but very little.
Again we find those who, althe- their
lot is no more severe than many others,
are in a condition of poverty, and
who seem to enter into condition of
pauperism very easily. If it were not
because Of this class the public burdens
in the direction Of pauperism, at least,
would be very light.
! Wherein lies the greatest difference
between these two classes9 1t has
been claimed BY many eminent thinkers
that the tendency toward pauperism is
