Rolly
Mother told us not to go outside this
hole" said Tiny, their little brother.
'snd l am going to mind. for just

ing past"
20, you are afraid said Rolly
Come on, Frisky. let us have some fun;
l know where there IS a nee bag Of
meal in a barn across the road
Better come with US" said Frisky, as
they went out, you will never have any
fun If you listen to mother: she does not
think we are big enough to take care
of ourselves, but we will show her we
are"
Tiny, however, decided to remain at
home. "Ill go some other time" he
told them. You better look out for
Table Grey and her kittens; she will
be sure to see you
But Frisky and Rolly only laughed at
this warning. I'VE can run faster than
they can," they said, "and. besides that.
we are smaller than even the littlest
kitten. and they cannot follow US into
a hole"
Frisky watched them from his hole,
and he saw Table Grey turn and look
after them, but she was too far away
then to catch them.
'I'n take a nap" said Tiny, 'and by
that time mother will be home, and
hope Frisky and Rolly will, too, but
l know Tabby Grey saw them"
She didn't get u.s." said Frisky. as
he darted into the barn.
NO" replied Rolly, peeping out from
behind the door; but she saw us and
she is coming this way with all the
kittens"
Both the mice ran for hole which
they saw in the floor, and In their ex-
element they bumped together and
only just disappeared into the hole as
Tabby Grey and her kittens came in
the door.
"Sit right here" Tabbie told her kit
tens; they are in here somewhere,
and their mother Is not with them.
They have run away, ] am sure. and It
will serve them right If we catch
them"
Then she walked around with her
nose shifting the air and presently she
came to the hole where Frisky and
Rolly were hiding.
They felt sure she must hear their
| hearts beating they bumped so hard
and loud. Tabbie Grey did not hear
| them, but she knew they were there
as we'll as though she saw them.

The unpopu'arity of President
Taft can be attributed almost en-
tirely TO his position on the question
of reciprocity with Canada. Yet
there can he no question as to his
uprightness and his desire, from his
own viewpoint. TO serve the best in
terests of the American people. His
career las been something like that
.of General Grant, who, although
successful as a general and honest to
the core, allowed himself to be mis-
led hy unwise counselors and his be-
lief in the honesty of his appointees
until the Nhiskey Ring explosion
showed that vast conspiracy had
long existed for the robbery Of the
government. AS a Judge Taft was a
success. as a governor of the Philip
pines he was the right man in the
right place: IN fact. in every posi-
ton Of public trust in which he was
placed he made good until he became
president. But in that position he
has failed TO secure the Endorsement
of a large majority of the people Of
all sections of the country, and for
this reason the Record believes that

The editor Of the Record respect

of the Republican to the fact that
there are two houses of congress,
and that bill, to become a law,
must pass both houses. 1t frequent
" occurs that the hardest fight
against a bill occurs in the body in
which the bill did not originate. 1t
was so in this case. Representative
Hanna led the fight for the bill in
the lower house. 1t is for this rea-
son that the unprejudiced newspa-

Hanna equal credit with Senator
