your tent meath the great pines be-
fore an open campfire. away from the
noise of the streets, from the shrek OF
the ocomotive-there IL the Joy OF
living.

what had become of the cat. In two
weeks the "cat was out of the bag
Someone had discovered that the rab-
lit and cat had set up housekeeping
under a lumbershed across the street
Nights they came out and foraged,
but in the day time they remained out
of sight. In three weeks they return
ETA to the commission house where
they now are perfectly contented to
remain.

iir Smith was again called upon to
cnlighten those present as to the meth

described the method of raising funds,
laying stress on the method now in

Cd was to be conducted through the
means of committees appointed.
Mr.. Smith in answer to the question
as to what amount would be necessary

stated that a $4,000 building was the
one to be considered.
After Mr. Smith had answered &
the work at large. he suggested that 4

at hand, inasmuch as everybody pres
