What is wrong with my baby?'

Mother told you why, dear. Because
three cats was too much for one family
to take care of. And we sent her to
the butcher, who will take good care
of her. He will give her plenty to eat.

But kittens forget very soon. honey.
They are so small, and as long as they
have plenty of good food and SUNSHINE
and other kittens to play with, they
soon forget that they had dear little
master to love.
'Once, when / was little girl, had
kitten, and my mother sent 1t away,
just as 1 did yours, so / know just how
you feel But my kitten was not sent
to a butcher She was sent to dry
goods warehouse, where there was
nothing but bales of dress goods and
big boxes of caps and dresses, all ready
to be sold to shopkeepers. There were
mice there, and that was why they
wanted my kitten. knew she was sad,
wandering around by herself, in that

and milk, sometimes, / suppose, but l

how. She was such a pretty kitten.

about her, and il was put into book.

No more on the parlor hearth to play.
He must live in the drygoods house,
And chase the rat and catch the mouse,
And all day long in silence go
Through bales of cotton and calico.
Now shall we play with the cube?'''
1t was twenty minutes after that Ned
looked up from the forms he was build

Mother, I'm dreadfully glad that my
kitten went to the butchers store. l

and know she isn't lonely. I'm so sorry

Price Goes Down on
Butter and Eggs

After a short and vigorous attempt
to climb back to midwtnter prices, but
ter and eggs again are falling lower IN
the scale. The prices this week are
cents lower at wholesale for the best
quality butter, and 8 cents lower on best
grade nearby eggs.
While these prices probably will make
no difference in retail prices to the small
consumer it is nevertheless an indica-
tion that the cost of these necessities is
beginning to fall steadily, and it will
not be long before the retail market
win he. forced to change prices.
Prices on eggs are largely local and
fuetuate according to the supply from
the nearby farms, consequently they
are liable to more radical changes.
New potatoes are coming in and are
now regularly quoted in the wholesale
market, though prices are still high.

A very ingenious, but very poor,
young woman who wanted to complete
her party costume by wearing long

secure a very good effect by sewing
the sleeve part of the old pair of gloves
in which the fingers had been worn out
onto the short pair, in which the fingers
were perfectly good.
So, where there's a will there's a

To Wash Umbrella

If your umbrella falls into the mud
and YOU cannot brush the dirt off, the
best way is to wash it with a soap

the dirty parts with a soft brush.
Next rinse IT with cold water, inside
and out, and hang in the sun to dry.

TEACH your children, oh, mothers.
to look for some good thing in
i every one they meet, and for
some happy event in every day,
and to speak of these things before they
sleep.
There Is no greater kindness you can
show your offspring than to train them
in this mental habit.
Begin when they are first able to talk,
and keep at it until they are firmly
established in the happy method of find
ing life a picture book with a bright
spot on every page.
Even your grOwn-up children may be
directed by you in this manner. In
stead of complaining about your life,
or your inability to do what you wish
for them, begin to talk of your bless
ings and of their blessings.
When they are inclined to find fault
with destiny, try 10 divert their minds
with some amusing incident until you
see them laugh. Then remind them that
it is a great blessing to be able TO
laugh.

man and woman to overcome the worst
possible surroundings and to rise over
seemingly insurmOuntable obstacles.
The lack of sympathy and helpfulness,
the lack of ideals and the petty outlook
of another mother, have been known to
ruin the hopes of a whole family of
children and to prevent the assistance OF
relatives from resulting in any benefit
to them
Urge your children to make the best
possible use of their time Urge them
to think about their department; teach
them that manners as well as morals
Lre important in the world.
Tell them to use clean, choice Ian
guage. If you are not educated ask them
to assist you to better forms of speech;
to correct you gently, when you speak
incorrectly, and thus give them a new
impetus to press on to higher accom-
phshments.
Never tell your children that what
was good enough for you ought to be
good enough for them. Unless genera
tions had sought better things and
higher standards, we would all be living
in caveS-half nude savages.
Each generation ought to be an I'm
