Joy in words So poor Blackie had to
suffer and suffer, his little heart almost
breaking.
The next day Goldie conceived the
idea of dressing Blackie up in a doll
dress again, for her little friend, Fred
Scott, had come to play with her and
she meant to let Fred wool and pull
and tease poor Blackie in his uncom-
fortable-clothes. But Blackie had been
thinking all the night before and had
arrived at this conclusion: A cat has
his rights, and one of them is COM
fort another one, liberty. And why
should he, Blackie, submit to the tor
lures inflicted upon him by, Goldie?
No, he would fight back, he would.
If ever again she tried to put those
horrid clothes upon him he would pro-
tect himself; he would use his claws
and teeth. What else were claws for?
So, the following day, when Goldie got
the dolls dress and began to put it on
Blackie the determined little fellow
sprang at her face and dashed both
paws across it. One slap went across
Goldie's nose, leaving tiny bloody
streak marking the claws progress.
The other paw stroked her chin, leaving
a twin streak of blood to the one over
the nose. Goldie, screaming with fright
and pain, threw Blackie to the ground
and ran in the house to tell her mother.
Fred, also afraid OF Blaclkie, having
been a witness to the scratching, ran
after Goldie intending to testify to
Blackie's terrible conduct.
And Blaclie was now at liberty to go
where he pleased, and he pleased to
run with all possible speed to the alley.
Arriving there, he found a snug bar
rel, turned on it's side, full of straw,
and into it he crept Half an hour later
Goldie and Fred came to the alley
hunting for him, calling, "Kitty, kitty,
kitty!' But Blackie kept very still
and the children went away without so
much as suspecting that he might be
in the barrel.
That night Blackie crept forth and
found a garbage barrel in the alley,
from which he got pretty good sup
per. Then he travelled on, and when
morning came had entered the yard of
a nice old lady who had no children
about the place, and who, seeing
Blackie, fed and petted him and made
him know he was welcome to live in
her house. And as soon as Blackie
found there were no children about he
decided to stay and to pay for his
board and keep by catching the mice in
the cellar.
And to this day-which is year
since Blackie found the happy home
with the old lady-he has remained and
grown into a genuinely fine mouser,
and his present mistress thinks he is
the finest cat in. the world and treats
him as though he were human, for she
knows that cats feel the same as do
people.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-06-27

NOLDIE was a little girl five years
tT old. She was called Goldie> be-
~ cause of her golden hair. Blackie
was new pet belonging to Goldie.
Blackie was strong, fat kitten. about
three months old. He had been
brought to Goldie by her Uncle Tom,
who had bought the funny little fellow
from a cat peddler. Hell do for
Goldie to play WITH" Uncle Tom had
said. without ever asking Blackle II
he would like being the property of a
very mischievous little girl. So Uncle
Tom had paid a dollar for Blackie and
had carried him that same day to
Goldie, and Goldie was much pleased
at having a live toy. Her dolls, her
Teddy bear. her Noah's Ark animals
were all so stupid; never moving OF
themselves, and having to be put into
position by Goldie herself. So she
found Blackie very amusing.
On the third day after Blackie's ar
rival in the home of Goldie the little
four-footed and long-tailer found him
self very unhappy. First OF all, ne
missed his nice warm mother, against
whose side he had slept so comfortably.
Next he found himself looking in vain
for his sisters and brothers with whom
he had played so merrily. And many,
many other recollections of the very
recent past fitted through little
Blackies mind as he was wooled and
pulled about by his new mistress, lit
tie Miss Goldie.
"Ah. you are such a bad kittenW
cried little Miss Goldie, squeezing poor
Blackie till he mewed pitifully why
do you want to get out of my arms,
you ugly fellow? Aren't you having
a good time? oh, know what I'll do
-Pll put one of Dolly's dresses on you.
oh, how very, very funny you Will
look. You'll look like live niger
doll, with your funny black face"
Then Goldie ran to her playroom
and got one of Dolly's dresses. But
she hadn't given poor Blackle a ehance
of escape during the time she was
going up and down stairs; no, she nad
lugged (that is the only word that de-
scribes the manner of Goldie's carry
ing Blackie) the poor uncomfortable
kitten with her, squeezing his poor
body till he suffered real pain.
Once again on the big back porcn
Coldie proceeded to dress Blackle IN
the dolls dress. And the poor fellow
soon found himself in a garment very
tight about the neck and arms
(Blackies front legs served the pur-
pose of arms when in a dress). In vain
he mewed and mewed, begging to be
taken out of the tortuous clothes.
Goldie had no pity and kept hold of
poor Blackie, scolding him for new
ing and slappping him occasionally on
the ears, all of which made Blackie
very miserable indeed. You know a
cat has feelings just like a human be-
ing, but cannot express his pain or

the ignorant rooster who presumes
upon his greater bulk "shall wish his
words unsaid, and hate his boasted
bliss"
1t is this very pugnacious and cox
combical disposition, inc addition to
their quaint beauty, that makes BAN
tams such general favorites, and as is
only natural, their smallness commends
them to the attention of those who
have insufficient space to devote to the
accommodation of larger birds. Ban
tamizing has, moreover, been so ex-
tended during recent years that dimin-
utive representatives are obtainable of
almost any breed or variety thus en-
larging the opportunities as regards
the divergence of individual choice.
Japanese bantams show very hand
some markings, but their carriage is
dumpy and fantastic.

BANTAM BEAUTY

Bantams are essentially fanciers'
fowls. and as such occupy place
apart; but their devotees are increas-
ing, and the position they occupy is py
no means inconsiderable, as may be
seen at many important shows.
The bantam cock has been aptly de-
scribed as "a beautiful example of
great soul in little body" and it is
certainly true that the courage and inn
pudence OF these birds in general, and
the game bantam in particular, are out
of all proportion to size and weight.
Poultry of normal dimensions almost
invariably show a respectful though
ludicrous Difference (the result OF pain
full experience) to bantams no moro
than one-fifth of their own size. and

Legislative work. The majority
of those men are not here to
work, but are here with their
families, or without them, on a
pleasure trip, very much such a
pleasure trip as attracts people
to the seaside, or mountain re-
sorts, or to Europe. Buta small
portion of the. time of the major
ity is devoted to legislative bust
ness. IF it were known how so
called statesmen fritter and
waste their time here, few of
them would be returned. lis a
we'll known maxim that employees
without supervision will not use
their best efforts for the work of
the employer. Membersof Con
gress are no exception to this
rule. If the Government should
appropriate a hundred millions
Of dollars a year for overseers or
detectives to keep Congress to
It's work, and then some more
detectives to keep the detectives
to their work, and so on ad in
finitum. there might be an i'm
provement in the business Of the.
nation. Representative Tawney
who was particularly scored in
the Presidents last message,
reached Washington on the 5t|i
inst, as it may be imagined, in a
state of boiling indignation, but
he has declined so far to say any
thing for publication.
Some Democratic members, it
is stated, are inclined to take the
stand with the President in favor
of his commentator for trans
ferring the secret service to the
Department of Justice and per-
hitting it to be used in ferreting
out crimesagainst the Cover n ! /
ment wherever suspected.
The increase in the Presidents
salary is the subject of memor-
ial from the Board of Trade of /
Mt. Clair, New Jersey, and was
presented in the House on the
5th inst. by Representative Ora
ham of Pennsylvania. The Memoir
ial says:-''Not only should the
President of the United States
receive 100000 a year, ''but at
the expiration of his term, he be-
ing the Commander-in-Chief of
the army and navy. should be re-
tired on half-pay, like other off
GERS when they leave the service,
and the wife of the President,
surviving her hus band should re-
ceive pension of $25, 900 year.
A man who is big enough to be
President of the United States
and lady of the White House
who attends to it's social duties
during the term of a President
should certainly be treated in a
generous way by a people who
can afford to spend $4,000, 900. 900
per annum, besides INDUCING in
a canal that will! cost anywhere
$500, 900, 900 to more than 81 ,OOO,
100000.
