 O soldieri"
 A deep sigh escaped little Kama For he was the son of soldier-a Goorkha warrior who had been killed while aiding the British in their at- tacks against the savage hill tribes and a martial spirit had been be- queathed to him.
 Rama nestled in the grass that grew close within the shadow of the hut, and looked refiectively at the snow capped mountains which seemed to tower immediately above him. But iayas, silently watchful over hill and valley, could soothe with their grandeur the chafng restlessness in hope-for how could there possibly be hope? Rama was sure that for many, many years he must help his mother and take care of hls little sister: He loved his mother and sister with all his heart, but then the longing to be g soldier was growing day by day. IT he could only have had time to play ned lads of the village perhaps he would not have felt this discontent; but his many duties about the house pelled to do in order to gain a laere pittance robbed him of all leisure.
 And then Putai cGme.

Telephoning Pussy

RIp you ever try to telephone to your D own little pussy? You may think that would be very strange. but 1t would do no harm to try.
 A story is told of a cat which liked to visit his friends at their places of business. Sometimes he caused lots of trouble by walking over desks and mix ing up valuable papers, for he was 6 very inquisitive pussy.
 But a way has been found to get rid of him.
 His mistress calls him on the tele- phone, and when pussy hears his name in a voice he loves. he looks much pleased and then scampers home as fast as he can. .

 Thereupon Rama proceeded to show what the old soldier had taught him. Wonder grew apace as he rapidly went through the manual of arms without single mistake. Then he told what he knew of military tactics. Finally, he placed row of sticks in the ground. about eight inches apart, and with their heads just four feet high.

IsNTIT THE TRUTH?

Was woman ever known to blow
out the gas or to be buncoed by g
man who wanted to borrow money tc
pay freight bill? Does she ever get
her pockets picked or lose money ON q
little game? If she has roll OF
money with her, does she ever fiast
it when she wants to buy cake of
chewing gum? Isn't it fact that
she is wiser with money when travel
ing than the men and more to be
trusted? Instead of woman having
a man along to protect her, the daily
papers prove that every man who
goes away from home should have 4

says:
Why should Cornell and Princeton not meet in
football and why should the coming men of the

the sentiment of those universities and arbitrarily
cut the game from the schedule?
