MOTHER CAT FOILS A PLOT
Brave Effort to Save Lives of. Con-
enncd kittens n
Success.

Dr. James McDonough OF a Portland
place, Montclair, n. j., has a cat, Lucy By
name, which understands the human lam
guage. That was shown today by the
skill she displayed in saving her kittens
from being drowned Willard Bush Of
Newark, who had drowned a previous lit
ter, went to the Doctors office this morn
ing. Or. McDonough told him Lucy had
more kittens, which she had secreted In
the haymow, and he wished he would
drown them. Neither noticed the cat was
i'm the room. Shortly afterward the two
men went out driving. When they were
gone Lucy went to the haymow, picked
up a kitten, climbed a picket fence ana
took her baby into the cellar Of William
Tentzloffs home, next door. Mrs. No
Donough and Mrs. Tentzloff watched her
until she had moved all six kittens to a
pile of old papers in the Tentzlofr coal bin.
An hour afterward the doctor and Bush
returned from their drive. Lucy met them
in the front yard, looked at Bush, arched
her back and spat savagely at him. When
the men had entered the office the cat
returned TO the haymow to witness the
discontinue of Bush. Her wait was in
vain, because Mrs. McDonough had told
the doctor of the removal Of the kittens,
ana SAID II would be a shame to drown
them after Lucy had made such a brave
effort for their lives. The doctor thought
so, too.
Lucy waited at the barn until she grew
tired Of the suspense, She went to the
house to find out what had caused the
delay. The doctor called her to him and
petted her.
Wei. Lucy" he said. III you really
want those kittens you may keep them.
Bring them right here In the office and
I'll give you a box and a warm bed
where they can be comfortable"
Lucy purred, rubbed herself against Nc
D%onough's leg and then went out. In a
little while she returned with a black kit

trips until all six kittens were at the feet
OF the doctor. Then she looked I'm his face

most remarkable man Of the three in my
opinion. was IN the Mexican state OF
Sonora, when he turned up there about
fifteen years ago. He might have dropped
from the Sky for all that any one knew
about him.
II spoke very little Spanish and when
asked his name gave a barbarous COM
bination of sounds that no Mexican could
be expected to pronounce. The gossip cf
the c%antinas decided that he was a Rus
sian. For some reason every foreigner in
Mexico, who is not American nor yet a
Spaniard nor a Frenchman is put down as
a Russian. Kosterlitzky is sore about the
mistake to this very day, for I don't need
to tell you that a Pole would much rather
be called a thief or a murderer than a
Russian.
He lost no time in enlisting in tire

would be afraid Of neither Cor nor man.
Whatever they might have done across the
line, he promised them protection il they
would enlist under him.
Whether true or not, this story gave
his name a sinister meaning along the
frontier. 1t became a proverb among the
worst element. Dol what you please, then

hOsterlitzky's Pleasant Way.
"kosterlitzky sprang into prominence at
the time of the riots at Cananea several
years ago. The Mexican laborers at the
big copper camp struck for higher wages.
Property was destroyed and the lives of
Americans were menaeed.
The rurales were at the other end Of
Sonora, and the urgent needs Of the case
caused the authorities TO appeal to the
governor OF Arizona for assistance. lie
responded by sending a detachment OF the
rangers TO Cananea. They were Instructed
not to fire on the strikers, but to wait for
Kosterlitzky.
The latter arrived after a forced march
that had tested the endurance of his men.
The rurales were drawn up on one side OF
the plaza the rangers on the other. The
Arizona boys were spelling for a fight.
They thought they recognized some bad
men who had slipped through their fingers.

was glad to get a job on the railroad as a

But Lee wanted to see the world. He
grew tired of his job and quit in the most

There wasn't a soul in the presidents
establishment who could read English suf-
ficiently well to dispute him. Bill was
placed in charge Of the navy OF Salvador,
which comprised three converted tramp

down the coast TO attack the rebels.
He bombarded several small villages.

The lessons which are TO be studied this
year were not produced In haste. Even
now, while the Sunday school scholar Is
studying the first lesson for 1910, those
Tor 1912 are being prepared. and those for
subsequent years arc being mapped out
by the great committees upon whose
shoulders fall the duty Of guiding the
worlds thought in Bible study. Even as
TAR back as 1897, at the meeting OF the
British and American sections of the In
ternational committee, it was decided that
the British committee should prepare a
cycle of lessons from 1912 to 1917. with the
1872 lessons worked out in detail. and the
ones from 1918 to 1917, inclusive, i'm broad
outline. The course for the 1910 lessons
was approved before that date, and the
American committee was asked to work
out the details of the 1911 lessons
The 1907 conference of the British and
American sections OF International lesson
writer's will result i'm the lessons of the
next few years being graded. on both
sides of the Atlantic it was found thar
there was a demand for graded lessons.
and resolutions were adopted looking TO
that end, but II is not probable that these
viii be introduced before 1912. The Ameri-
can section is elected by the international
association, and consists of fifteen mem
bers, who hold their position for six years,
or for one of the cycles of Sunday school
Bible study. Three of them are from
Canada and twelve from the United States.
Twelve are ministers and three are lay
men, and they are proportionately divided
among the leading Protestant churches
which use the international lessons.
The Bible must be covered in six years,
with 2SS lessons. There must be a tenn
perance lesson every quarter and a num-
Der of other special lessons. After the
committee has gone over the lessons for a
given year they are sent to the publishers
and lesson writer's of the world. who are
asked for suggestions and criticisms look
Ing to a revision. When the committee
meets the ensuing year these suggestions
and criticisms are examined carefully. In
the preparation of the lessons for 1868
there were about 125 Suggestions. and they
resulted in the change or modification OF
thirty-one themes, thirty-three golden
texts, twenty-five lesson assignments, nine
committal verses. and the SUBSTITUTION of
six lessons for six that were eliminated.
The home department OF Sunday school
work is of American origin, the creation
Of DR.. w. A. Duncan of New York state,
who established II Ia 1881. As only 80 per
cent OF church members attend the regu-
lar Sunday school services. the home de-
partment has a great field. This phase
OF Sunday school work has grown with
great rapidity. Atlanta has a police home
department and Louisville one for trolley
employees.

be thousands of interesting exhibits of the
ways that are used to cultivate the spirit
of giving and to stimulate the spirit of
self denial, and all the other things, which
help to lead the child into a fuller I'M
Outstanding of the fundamentals Of true
piety and Christian living. 1t will be an
exposition absolutely devoid of commercial
ism, a mere labor of love on the part
of those who devise and maintain it.
AT the Home convention all kinds of
Sunday school literature and music were
shown. There were no less than sixteen
different classes OF exhibits. one of the
NEST interesting of all the exhibits. was
a little do ~without/it" bag, intended for
the pocket of man, woman or child. II
appealed In its silent way only for the
money its owner was about to spend for
something he could as we'll do without.
Maybe II was only a cigar or a cup of
chocolate. This do without IT. bag, with
the spirit of self-denial it inculcates, has
been a great support Of the work in
England.
The development of the world Sunday
school is a remarkable story OF religious
activity. First an organization of a few
schools, then statewide, then national, then
International, and then worldwide. until
now thirty-seven countries and fifty-three
denominations are united by the sTeat tie
OF common Bible study. The movement
toward this world wide corporation has
proved successful, because of the desire
for a definite program of study, in which
all could unite. The American Sunday
school Union was the first important eX-
preston of the larger desire for cooper
alton. The New York Sunday School Union
first expressed the desire for national CO.
operation in 1920. The American union has
been one of the greatest of all the forces
at work for the upbuilding of the Sunday
school in the United States. The first
national Sunday schoo convention was
held In New York in 1882. although there
had been several interstate conventions be-
fore that time.
In 1872 the national convention broadened
into an international meeting, with Canada
participating, and here was begun The
work of preparing the worlds Bible study
in the shape Of the International sunday
school lessons. The convention which
adopted The International lesson idea was
held at indianapolis, and it is said that
much feeling entered into the debate on
the subject.
The first international lessons were pre-
pared by a committee OF twelve, five min.
isters and five laymen from the United
states, and one minister and one layman
from Canada. II was 10 formulate a
seven-yea Bible study course. Since then
there have been some changes in the
formation Of the committee, and some in
its work. but on tbs whole It's task today
is not essentially different from what 4
was thirty-seven years ago

Today $4,000 Sunday school scholars be-
gin a new year of Bible study. They will
all study the same lessons, no matter what
language they speak or to what denomina-
ton they belong. The story of how the
whole Protestant world has become united
through its efforts to teach the Bible to
the, children OF nc nations constitutes one
or the most interesting chapters of reli-
jgious history, and reminds one of the say
ms that IA little child shall lead them"
! Here the lion OF religious controversy does
indeed lie down with the lamb Of unity and
sCctarian strife is forgotten in interde-
nominational cooperation.
The interest in this years Bible study
viii be heightened by the fact that before
the year has run half its course there
will be held in the city of Washington a
great trienniRl conclave of all the Sunday
school interests In the world. From the
ends of the earth will come those who
have reports to make OF things accom-
plished and Of things to be undertaken.
More than 1000 delegates, representing the
sunday school workers OF the whole world,
viii transact the business of the meeting
and carry back TO the countries srom
whence they come the Inspirations they
gather and the lessons they learn, The
occasion will be the meeting of the sixth
t%riennial meeting of the Worlds Sunday
school association. 1t will be the second
time that this great convention Of conse-
Grated Christian workers has mst on Amer
lean soil. the other occasion being the
mcsting at II. Louis in 1895, In 1898 il
met at London. Its next meeting was at
Jerusalem and it, last one at Rome in 1907.
What fesling the delegates must have
had when they stood In the Coliseum and
praised God, by permission Of Roman au-
thorities-in the very place where once
those who believed as they believe were
thrown into the arena TO be devoured by
and beasts. When they meet In Wash
lngton in May there will be no Calvary,
Mount OF Transformation OF Holy Sepul-
cher to which to make ~pilgrimages; nor
win there be a Coliseum or catacombs or
tomb OF the apostle OF the Gentlles, but
there will be a welcome from a nation
which has more Christian people than any
other country on earth.
Already the preparations for this great
gathering Of workers are under way. The
start was made by the Worlds sunday
school Visitation, "A great missionary tour
OF the world by devout workers, who paid
their own expenses and travelled to re-
meter nations to strengthen those there
engaged in the work, and TO lead them "a
press on to greater and better achieve
ments. Each member paid his own eN-
perses. Practically all OF those who went
on this great world tour will attend the
Washington convention In May.

the convention win be an exposition de-

Later he marched against the strikers.
He gave them thirty minutes to dispense.
When the end of that time found them

The first Sunday school, under Robert
Raikes, had paid teachers, who received
a shilling a day for their services. But
1t was not many years before the idea of
paid teachers was eliminated, and with

school tended to secularize the Sabbath.
