vABBY awoke one morning to find
herself alone in the big house
All the day before she had seen
the members of the family with
whom she lived very busy NOV
ing and packing furniture. And in the
evening she had wondered when she saw
great wagons at the front door. and many
men-in rough clothes-loading boxes and
trunks into them And again she had
wondered when she came in from hunting
grasshoppers in the hedge and found no
one in the great echoing. empty rooms. 1
say 'echoing." for when Tabby found her
self alone she began mewing very Justify,
trying to bring some of her friends TO the
lonely scene. And how the walls did echo
her cry. causing Tabby to stand perfectly
still and to hump up her back. for she
thought another cat was somewhere
about. and she was making ready to fight
in self-defense.
But after looking about her and finding
no intruding cat present, she decided II
was time for her to take a nap.
The folks have just gone out for the
evening" she thought to herself. and will
soon be home again. Butt wonder what
they mean by sending all the things
chairs tables bedS-everyt hing-away.
They'll have to sleep as l doom the floor,
or on the grass in the back yard.
And then Tabby went off upstairs into
coy little room where dear little girl
had always slept. And this dear little
girls name was Daisy. and Daisy had pet
ted and loved Tabby very tenderly. calling
her her own dearest, funniest Tabby cat.
And so the night passed away, with
Tabby so full of her supper OF fresh grass
hoppers that she slept the sleep OF the
just, only waking once In while to
stretch herself in a new position and then
sleep again.
But with the dawn she awoke. and see
ing the lonely condition Of the great emp
ty house. she began to feel that she had
been deserted And what could 1t mean?
Would Daisy-dear, sweet. f1axen-haired
Daisy-go away and leave her in this de-
serted place? And what should she find
to eat? All, of course. there were plenty of
grasshOppers and little birds fitting
through the hedge. too. for that matter.
But Tabby had never caught bird for
dinner. for whenever she was in the way
TO do Daisy would invariably see her
and run to the birds assistance. frighten-
ing it away, and then. slapping Miss Tab
by pretty sharply, she would say:
Naughty Tabby. Don't you ever dare to
catch a sweet little bird. You may help
yourself TO grasshoppers. for they destroy
our garden and flowers. but you shall not
harm a bird, for bird never does harm
to any one.
Well l suppose I've got to hustle for
my breakfast Tabby thought to herself.
NO plate of fresh milk and no nicely
beaten egg stirred into 1t for me-" And
then she went into the yard and began
catching grasshoppers as fast as she
could. for she was very hungry.
And as she hunted and hunted she wan
dered far from the grounds of her home.
a now desolate and deserted place. And
soon she found herself in very deep grass

Dolly.

nOLLY. my Dolly, your sweet blue eyes
0Look on the world with glad surprise;
And the tangled mass Of your golden hair
Falls on your neck white and fair,
AS you quietly sit. and all the while
Your blue eyes CLEAN and your sweet lips smile.
What are your thoughts. my Dolly. pray.
As you sit your cushions the livelong dayf
Do you wonder where the viOlets hide
Till spring returns to the mountain side?
Or where the little fishes dream
When winter has frozen each lake and streamf
Dolly where do the roses go
When the ground is covered with feathery snow
Where are the daisies and primroses sweet
When winter comes with his skate bound feet7
Where do the swift winged swallows fly
When clouds o'ercOme the stormy sky?
One thing I know, that, great and small
They are loved and cared for, one and all.
There is not a bird on its swift wild wing,
Nor fragrant bud of the early spring,
Nor little child in her warm home nest
That is not cherished and loved and blest.

that has already taken place in the
countries which you represent
growth alike in political stability and
in the material well-being which can
only come when there is political sta

Our Battle fleet has just finished
its trip around South America, and |
wish to thank the rulers and the peo-
Piles of South America and Of Mexico
for the generous and courteous hos
ptality which has been shown this
fleet on every possible occasion
throughout the trip.
Rott's Warm Welcome
In conclusion, let me speak OF an
other trip, made a couple Of years ago
by the secretary OF state, Elihu Root.
the first time in our history the
American secretary Of state, during
his term Of office, left the country to
visit certain other nations.
Mr.. Root made the complete tour
of South America, traversed Central
America, and afterwards visited Mexi-
co. He was everywhere received with
the heartiest greeting, a greeting
which deeply touched our people. and
! wish to say once more how appre-
ciative we are of the reception ten
dered him.
His voyage was unique I'm character
and In value. 1t was undertaken on
ly because we citizens Of this repub-
lie recognize that our interests are
more closely intertwined with the in
terests OF the other peoples of this
continent than with those of any 9TH
er nations / believe that history will |
say that though we have had other
great secretaries of state, we have |
had none greater than Elihu Root: |
and that though in his high office he |
has done much for the good of his |
nation and of mankind, yet that his
greatest achievement has been the
success which has come as the result
Of his devoted labor to bring closer
together ell the republics of the New
World, and to unite them in the effort
TO work valiantly for our common bet
for the material welfare of
al who dwell in the western hemis-
phere.

RoOseveIt's Greeting.


In the next place, as president OF
this republic l greet the representa-
tives Of all our sister republics to the
south of us. In sense, you are our
elder sisters and we the younger peo-
pie, for you represent a more ancient
civilization on this continent than we
do.
Your fathers, the Spanish and Por-
tuguese explorers, conquerors, lawgiv-
ers and commonwealth builders, had
founded a flourishing civilization in
the tropics and the south temperate
zone while all America north of the
Rio Grande was still unmapped wild
erness.
Your people had founded Amerl-
can universities, were building beau
tiful cities were laying deep the
of future national life, at
many different points in the vast ter
ritory stretching from the Colorado
to the Plata. before the ships of the
Frenchman and the Englishman. the
Swede and the Hollander, had found
permanent havens on the north At
lantic seacoast. For centuries our sew
eral civilizations grew each in its own
way, but each sundered from the 9TH
ers. Now we are growing together.
Closer Associations Coming.
More and more in the future we
shall each give to and get from the
others, not merely things of material
value, but things that are of worth for
the intellectual and spiritual welfare
Of all of us.
In the century that has passed the
development of North America has,
on the whole, proceeded faster than
the development OF South America;
but In the century that has now
opened l believe that no other part
Of the world will see such extraordi-
nary development in wealth. in popu-
ation, in all that makes for progress,
as will be seen from the northern
boundary of Mexico through all Cen
trail and South America; and l can
assure you that the people of this
nation look with the most profound
upon the great growth

posing ceremonies marked the laying
OF the cornerstone of the new build
ing to be the home OF the American
Bureau Of Republics last evening
The principal feature of the exercises
was the eloquent address by President
Roosevelt which was as follows:
This Is a memorable occasion for
all the peoples of the Western Hem
isphere. The building, the corner
stone of which we lay today, empha-
sizes by its existence the growing
sense Of solidarity of interest and as
piration among all the peoples Of the
New World.
1t marks our recognition of the
need to knit ever closer together all
the republics Of the Western Hemis-
phere, through the kindly bonds of
mutual justice, good will, and SYM
pathetic comprehension.
At the outset, on behalf Of all of us
wish to thank Mr.. Carnegie for his
gift-a gift to all the nations
Of the New World, and therefore pre-
omlnently fitting as coming from one
who has so sincerely striven for the |
cause Of peace among nations; for
while we have yet a long path TO
Tread before we can speak with any
Of the day when wars shall
cease from the earth, we of this West
ern Hemisphere, by movements such
IS that symbolized by this building,
nave taken great strides toward SO
,urng permanent peace among our
ielves.
