A Cat and Mother Hen.

! There was onea. az little kitty who lost
it's mother. One day it came into our
chicken yard. It was raining very hard
that day, when it came into our chicken
yard. We had a mother hen who had
little chickens that were two days old,
and when she saw the little kitten out
in the rain she ran after the little kitty
and tried to get it into the chicken coop
but the little kitty was afraid, and it
ran away. After a little while the lit
tie kitty came back, and after it had
stayed with the chickens a while it
got used to them. The little kitty liked
the mother hen so we'll that it always
stayed with her. Another day when it
was raining the little kitty crawled in
under the mother hen with the little
chickens, and it always stayed with
her until one day, when came into the
chicken coop to give the chickens some
feed, the little kitty was gone and the
mother hen was running all around the
chicken coop. After little while [
let the mother hen out and she ran all
around the yard searching for the lit
tie kitty, but we, never found it again.

SEEK NO OUTSIDE AID
Unions Will Finance Big Convention
Which Comes Next Fall.

If the present intentions of the gen,
eral committee arc carried out, money
for the entertainment Of the delegates
and visitors to the convention of the
American Federation Of Labor, to, be
held here next fall, will be raised wholly
in and thru the efforts of the labor
unions, without asking merchants and
business men to bear any part of the
expense.
i It has been the custom in nearly all
convention cities to ask business con-
Germs to aid in financing the gathering,
for it requires a vast sum Of money to
meet all its requirements. However,
at it's last meeting, the entertainment
committee decided to levy an assess
ment on all the local unions in accord
ance with their numerical and financial
strength. That sthis plan is meeting
with popular favor is evidenced by the
fact that several organizations have
already made arrangements to pay their
assessments
This summer, owing to the fact that
Minneapolis business men will be called
upon to finance number of large un-
.dertakings;. including the Grand Army
encampment, the labor unions will try
to get what funds they need over the
amount assessed against themselves by
means Of a monster picnic or entertain,
ment. The forme is receiving the most
favor at present, and it is likely that
arrangements will be made for an out
ing to some convenient point. 49,,
There will be nothing doing, in the
way of getting out; fake advertising
schemes, so-calIed souvenirs, or any of
the thousand and one things which are
sometimes resorted to under ordinary
circumstances to add to- the. funds. The
committee has gone on record in this
particular at the suggestion Of. the off
Gals of the A. F. of L., and question
of Increasing the finances axe tabooed
This ANNOUNCEMENT will be a, relief to
those who are always tsmarked,.' to
put, up their money for something, from
which there is no return, and will doubt
less put the unions in a position where
the public will rally to their support in
the effort to, make either a picnic OF
entertainment a big success. 49,.

One day his master had to leave the

The train left the village with shep 9

Shep, who had been crying inside the
shed for some time, was let out. r..
Seeing that he was let out by a
stranger, he ran to the house to find his
master. He went to the door and
barked but no one Came. He went to
his masters office, and the door being
open, he ran in, but his master was not
there.
Leaving the office he ran to the sta

started for the house again. But could
not find his master.
1t was now dinner time and he went
to the shed where he found the man
