THE LOST KITTEN

once there was little cat that
lived in the country. She was
as happy as cat could be until
one day something happened.
She was taking a nap when sud-
denly somebody picked her up
and popped her into basket, shut
the lid tight and carried her away.
After a long, long time the
basket was set down with a bump.

must let her ont the first thing
The minute the basket was
opened out she Jumped and ran
through the door. All through the
rooms she went exploring. She
jumped out on the window sill,
but she could not see any barn,
nor trees, nor grass, nor birds, nor
chickens.
She did not like It bit. She
wanted to go home. So, when
nobody was looking, she slipped
out. She ran along close to the
corner, and there she saw dog.

"Mr. Dog. will you tell me
the way to the country?"
Turn to the right and follow

So the little cat turned to the
right and followed her pink nose
along the street, but she did moi
|ree any country, only wagons and
houses and people.
At the next corner she met 9

So does Pliny's description of the

den of Eden.
In ancient times, before man
wore clothes, they fed on waste
animal material about human hab-

then. When man, along about the
stone age. began wearing hairy
skins of animals, the moth ascend
ed a higher plane of diet. He's
kept pace with man, and is now

Three common destructive spe-
cies of moths occur in this coun-

COMPANY RELATING
 TRACKS ON AVENUE

Since the work of laying tracks on Dexter Avenue has recommended, and the street is torn up from Hull Street to Bainbridge Street, the schedule of the cars on various lines has been con- sidefably disarranged, and the cars traversing far differently from the original ones.
 The Oak Park car, instead of coming down Dexter Avenue, goes down Jack son Street to Columbus, and thence to Lawrence. and then to the Basin. re- turning the same way. There are no cars on the East Belt line as-the Oak Park car takes their place.
 The other lines have not been dis turbed except that passengers on the South Jackson Street line have to be transferred from Hull Street to Bain- bridge ih front of the Capitol. Just as soon as this work is completed. new tracks will be laid on the remaining part of Dexter Avenue, between Law renee and Hull Streets.
 It Is thought that 1t will be possible to do this work without tearing all the tracks up at once. If this scheme is possible, cars can be run through on the old schedule. It is probable that the work now going on will be finished within two or three weeks

Though thwarted. for the time be- ing, at the first point of the attack by the decision of Judge Jones in the United States Court, the attorneys who have undertaken a test of the pro- hibition law of Alabama will effect their second assault on the statute to- day. before Judge Sayre.

 In view of the fact that the '' antfs'' have gained q setback to their re, quests at every point so far. 1t is held likely that their request for a manda- mus in this instance will also be re- fused. There Is little hope demon strated by the "antrs" generally as to a favorable outcome. to them, of the hearing today.
 They hold that there is little to be gained. even if a license is granted. now that the injunction for which they prayed is not granted. Neither is there much interest in the hearing. as there was in the case before Judge Jones.
