And yet Father Moon had told him
he mustn't.
Some nights 1t was just terrible for
the little star to bear. but then he would
always look at Father Moon. smiling
down upon him, and he would say to
himself, ''Of course, he knows best" ="
He always felt better after that. and
before long he would forget 1t all and
be twinkling again as bright as ever.
Now, all this happened long before
there were any special stars in the
sky. and here is what God had told old
Father Moon:
He said that some day he was going
to place some good star-after II had
grown up-away over in the North to
guide the people on the earth below.
In the years that followed little star
had many, many temptations-he did
so want to go shooting along like a
bird-but a glance at the Old Moon al
ways changed his mind. and he was
cheerful and happy most of the time.
But one Gear, still night, a little
breeze stole across the sky. and stop

Little star wondered and wondered

THE PART CATS HAVE PLAYED
IN HISTORY OF THE WORLD

The cat is a mammal belonging to the
order carnivora.
All cats have the same general type of
structure, the variations are only in the
minor characteristics and are very
slightly related to their habits.
Psychologically there is the same uni
formity, all cats are carnivorous. They
prefer TO go in quest of their own prey
and kill il.
Cats are found all over the world ex-
cept in Australian region. Madagascar,
and the West Indies. They are tropical
and heat loving; although few speci-
mems are found in the far North, as the
tiger in Asia and the puma in America.
The Egyptian cat is a native OF North
ern Africa. and. it is said, was the parent
of the cat tanned by the Egyptians and
probably one of the orginators of uor
present house cat
Cat Domesticated Early.
The domestication of the cat occurred
at very early period. and its first con-
nection with man is to be found In the
ancient monuments OF Egypt, Babylon,
and Nineveh.
The cat is mentioned in an inscription
as early as 1854. B. c.. and it was do
mesticated in Egypt 1900 B. c. The earl

years ago, when Crook City was Just
commencing to become a town, Byrnes
claims he learned Of the secretion of
the gold by some placer miners who
were driven out of the Hills by Unit

cOrdlng to the story they buried a
portion Of it in a cannon about a mile
and a half from Crook City, the spot
being marked by a large rock, about
$4,000 worth of gold being hidden
there. Ever since Byrnes has spent
his summers digging for that gold and
his winters at blacksmithing. He has
removed the earth six feet deep from
a space 300 feet around the rocks, but
has found no trace OF the gold which
he is sure that he will ultimately To-
