A DESTRUCTIVE KITTEN.

Perhaps you would like to hear
about our pussy and our three birds.
We lad two canaries and one Italian
goldfnch. Our kitty was very play
ful and also very destructive. The
goldfneh and two canaries were put
into a large cage. They got along
very nicely, but the goldfinch was
boss. If he wanted to eat first he
chased the others away Now, our
kitty often sat on q chair looking
at the birds, and whenever we saw
him do this we scolded him. Then
he would run in a corner. At night
he would sleep ir the kitchen where
the birds were. One night he jumped
on the gas range, thinking he would
get at the birds, but the cage hung
too high. In the morning smelt gas.
for the kitten must have turned on
the gas valve in jumping OF the
range. OF course the kitten was
alive, for he had run into another
room, but when I looked into the
cage I found the three brides dead
at the bottom of 1t. Next day we
gave pussy away and never heard
anything of him.-Elvira Callesone

Investing in Nature.

A man must invest himself near at
hand, and in common things, and be
content with a steady and moderate
return, If he would know the blessed
ness of a cheerful heart and a sweet
ness of walk over the round earth.
This Is a lesson that the American
has yet to olearn-capability of amuse-
ment on low key. He expects rap
Id and extraordinary returns. He
would make the very elemental laws
pay usury. He has nothing to invest
in a walk; 1t Is too slow, too cheap.
We crave the astonishing, the excit-
ing, the far away, and do not know
the highways of the gods when we
see them-always sign of the decay

A DIsINHERITED PRINCE

mere was once diSinherited
prince named Hector, who lived in a
forest with the birds and beasts. The
only way he could gain his fathers
throne was by some heroic deed. In
the jungle near where he lived was a
monster. His head was a bulls head
| and his body that of man. Every
year he would come into the village
and devour twelve youths and twelve
| ma1dens. He lived In jungle which
was fmpenetrable save for one small
path, which ted right to the monsters
den. but strange to say every one
who went in could never get back be-
cause this little path was so much
confused with other paths. The king
proclaimed that whoever should kill
that maneater should succeed to his
throne and marry the most beautiful
woman in the kingdom
Hector resolved to try and kill this
monster. When the people heard it
they draped the village in mourning.
for they loved the young prince, and
they knew that he would be devoured
in the same manner as the thousands
who tried before him. Nevertheless.
nothing daunted him. He stayed
awake every night thinking of how
he should get out after he had killed
the maneater. At last he hit upon
plan. He would fill his pockets with
stones and drop them along the path.
At last the day broke on which he
was to go. He girded on one sword
which his great-grandfather had left
him. This sword had magic power.
Whoever fought with this sword was
sure to win. The birds were chirping
and the sun was shining brightly.
Everybody in the woods was happy.
but the people in the village were
sad; why shouldn't he be happy? To
be sure he was. FOR he had full conf
dence In his sword.
He started out and soon reached
the edge of the Jungle After long
search he found the path. He walked
briskly, dropping the little pebbles
along the way. He knew when he
was nearing the den by the fierce roar
OF the animal. At last he confronted
the animal. With leap the monster
dashed toward him. but Hector was
quick. A fierce battle ensued, in
which the monster was wounded by a
blow from Hector's sword. He then
left the maneater to die and started
for the path, which he found readily
by the pebbles. He reached the viii
lage the next day. where there was
great rejoicing. The feeble old king.
being on his death bed, summoned
Hector to his bedroom On seeing
Hector he gave a shrek of joy and
died. Hector was crowned then and
there. Hector married poor but
very beautiful peasant girl and they
lived happy ever after.-New Haven
Register.

Why Church Bells Any More?

Every once in while a discussion
arises as to the use of church bells.
Their utility was long ago given up.
Their beauty is still defended by
some. But in the end the discussion
comes back to the question of loca-
tion. In the country, where distances
are long, and sounds softened,
church bell is still enjoyable. But in
the city street, where hundreds and
thousands are close by, the sound is
to most of them noisy clangor.-
