range at Blauyet for the National Guard
Of New York will come up in the Legis-

pared which provides for its abandonment
after the state has already expended more
than 100000 upon IT, and IT is not nearly
completed yet. 1t is said that the site is a
poor one, and the Legislature will ask to
have the range placed on the state camp
grounds at Peekskill. where the mountains
10 the north form a sufficient bullet stop
and there is no chance Of spent bullets en-
dangering life.

MY oRANDMoTHER's CATS.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: /
want to tell you the story OF band Of
cats which belong to my grandmother, a
dear old lady, of nearly fourscore years.
NV grandmother has always been fond Of
cats. In her back yard there are two or
three gravestones over the graves Of her
favorites The band had five members,
but one OF the old members recently died,
whose name was Old Black Joe. The
present band IS composed Of four clever
cats: Sunny jim, the leader; Billy Hobo
and Weary Willie They are all great
friends
l want to tell you how cunning the wise
leader, Sunny Jim, is. One Of my grand
mothers friends sent Jim a sealed envelope
full Of catnip. Jim wondered how some
hing white could smell like catnp, and
now do you think he found out? lie

RUSTY.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: l
want to tell you about my dog, beau
ty, mixed water spaniel and Scotch collie.
He is black, with long curly hair, has a
white shirt front and is marked with
brown over each eye IS a brown spot
about the size of a l0-cent piece. They look
like spots Of rust, so we call him
Rusty. We got him when he was a
baby six weeks old. He Is very clever
and knows everything that Is said to
him. He loves mother best Of all We
had not had him very long before he got
under the sewing machine, and before
mother knew he was there, his foot was
caught under the treadle and was hurt
badly. Mother bathed and bandaged It
and put him TO bed in a big arm chair,
where he stayed all day, Just like a baby.
For a long time after, when any one would
scold him, he would put up his injured
foot az though 10 say, Don't scold poor
hurt dog"
One day mother was making a dress and
she wanted a bow which had been mis-
placed, and you should have seen Rusty
come running with IT.
One night when mother let him out, he
ran away and was out all night. Next
morning, when he came In he shivered
like a leaf and mother said: Here comes
poor little dog that has no mother"
Then he cried and cried till you would
think he was being beaten to death. He
would not eat till mother patted him and
said: Rusty boy Is mothers sweetheart"
Then she gave him a bowl OF hot milk and
put him to bed before the kitchen stove.
Needless TO say he has never stayed out
since.
Some time I will tell you about our cat.
Jerry who, next to mother, IS Rusty's
closest friend.

once there was a wicked dwarf who sat
on the edge Of a little boys tongue and
cried and cried.
What are you crying about little
dwarf?" asked the grandmother dwarf
who lived near by.
'Oh. l want to get out: l want TO get
out Of this boys mouth" said the dwarf.
Il can't have any fun here. This boy IS
so strong and we'll I can't make him sick
at all"
BE patient. my child" his grandmother
answered. Perhaps your chance Will
come; but If it does not you must do as l
do-wait here and trust that some day this
boy will catch cold or be very tired. so he
won't be as strong as he is now. Then l
shall be able 10 make him sick"
So the dwarf sat still and waited on the
little boys tongue.
A funny thing. YOU say? Whoever heard
OF dwarfs I'm peoples mouths? They always
live I'm forests and enchanted castles. do
YOU think? Well. so they do, in story
books. This IS a true story, however, about
a real dwarf. He was very, very very
tiny-so tiny that nobody could see him. not
even the dentist or the boys mother when
she looked I'm TO see if his teeth were all
cleaned Nobody could see him without
big magnifying glass. That was the rea-
son he could stay so long there playing
with his brothers and sisters. But finally
one day he was so wicked he felt he must
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1911-10-08

Come on fellows! Let's have some fun.
We're enough to make this girl sick"
So they all jumped into the little girls
windpipe and went tumbling. scrambling
down into her lungs After that the little
girl was very sick-all because these wick
ed dwarfs were living in her lungs with
their poison packs.
When the teacher heard that the little
girl was sick she said: I'm afraid those
children catch germs from the drinking
cups. It's a good thing we won't have them
after October l."
For Father Knickerbocker had heard
about the doings of the dwarfs. and on the
first of the month he had all the tin drink
ing cups and thick glasses that the chill
dren used to drink out Of at school taken

away. Now the children OF New York city
drink out Of their own glasses. which their
mothers give them at home, or else out OF
cups made of paper, and 1t is hoped that
the wicked dwarfs will never have another
chance to jump from one child's mouth to
cup. and from there to another child's
mouth That will be very good thing
for the dwarfs are really microbes and very
dangerous persons
There are a great many OF these wicked
microbes In the world, and If the little men
and women want to be sure not to get any
in their mouths, they will like to make Tor
themselves a paper cup to drink from at
school or In any public place. The dia-
gram shows one easy way to make the
paper cup.

the woods. We were to start early In the
morning, take our lunch with us and stay
till dark. When we reached the woods we
sat down and read till we were hungry. AS
soon as / heard my brother say he was
hungry I shut my book and put my hand
to the ground to get our lunch. 1t was
gonel When told my brother, he said he
couldn't imagine who could have taken H.
Then we got up and took a little stroll
