eleventh year, her days of enforced
scholastic attendance had accomplished
her to the extent of laborious reading
and writing only.
Then Uncle Hoke, who commiserated
why's misery in the schoolroom, in
sisted that she be allowed to quit school
finally. "Da hain't no use in tormentin' |

Then Why was the happiest two

The two candidates for scholastic
honors raised neither the right hand
nor the left in physical labor. but Why
was the most willing of workers. Aunt
Camelot but reverenced Queenie and
Swannie the more that they were above
hand work, but why's inability to at
tain scholarly heights was an ever
present trial to her, and she and her
two elder daughters alike treated Why
with neither respect nor patience-an
attitude which Uncle Hoke resented.

her happiness in the dumb creatures of

MAHAN HERE FOR WINTER.
Rear Admiral's Works Much Ad.
mired by Kaiser.

Rear Admiral Alfred T. Mahan. whose
works on the influence OF sea power in
history are said to be responsible for the
increase Of the German navy, has come
10 Washington from New York and will
spend the winter here. Admiral Mahan
called at the Navy Department this
morning and paid his respects to Secre-
tary Daniels.
The German kaiser first became inter-
ested in Admiral Mahans writings about
twenty-five years ago. So enthusiastic
was he that all of Admiral Mahan' s
works were virtually adopted as text
books for the German sailermen. This
extends even to magazine articles. which
are translated into German and made
available for perusal by the naval Of
ficers of the fatherland.

OF her education Uncle Hoke never
had to carry a pail of slop to the hogs
nor had Aunt Camelot to feed or care
for her fowls. Indeed, Why's love for
the unspeaking things was at times
trifie inconvenient. She could not bear
to see the sacrifice of a chicken for the
table, and when Moses, Aaron and
Pharaoh, the fat hogs, were led to
slaughter she fled to the woods weep
ing bitterly.
But it was why's love for cats that
chiefly angered Aunt Camelot, love
sufficiently mighty to include every fe-
line that infested the earth. Had she
been permitted. the premises of Feath-
ers would have been as full of cats as
ancient Thebes. Aunt Camelot herself
particularly hated cats, but Tiny man
aged to have a pet, a large yellow
striped one. whose home was an old
straw stack. Bartholomew food was
principally bits of bread slipped from
her own plate.
After long time Why came back to
the house from neighbor's field.
''Whah you BEEN" demanded Aunt
Camelot.
Why timorously explained. She had
heard a cat crying in distress and had
