she lives after you've been in it for three min
utea
Occasionally she asserts her authority by a show
of violence.
For instance, one morning last week she woke up
her aunt by hitting her in the head with a high-heeled
slipper, smiling engagingly when auntie sat up sudden
ly and howled with pain.
Another time, when she thought the kittens were
ignoring her existence too completely. the mother kitten
was reminded by an emphatic kick, after which Minerva
became her usual placid self.
Yesterday we played a game.
Minerva entered the room, and came straight to me,

WASHINGTON.-The fighting ships

partly to advertise the navy and at
tract young men to 1t. Sixteen of the
battlesbips will turn their prows away
from the home land and steam off into
the Atlantic, bound on a tour of the
European ports.
For months the publicity experts of
the navy department have been ex.
plotting the voyage for the purpose of
getting young men to recruit. Not all
of them will be chosen to go. but they
all have an equal chance and those
who do not go this time will go the
next time, for 1t is the purpose to
have these cruises every year to make
the service more attractive to young
Americans and cause them to enlist
in such numbers as are required for
the proper manning of the fighting
ships.
When this cruise was first an
nounced. several months ago, the navy
department issued advertising matter
