DEATH-WATcH CAT IS HAPPY
Poe-esque Animal, Whose Cries Re
veaIed Masters Body, Gets New
Home at Los Angeles.

Jake, the black cat whose walls led
neighbors to the dead body of Frank
HANDLE of ZIG West Sixty-ninth street,
Los Angeles, after life had been ex-
tinct week, found a new home. He
slept For hours In the sunshine, ap-
parently unmindful of the narrowing
hours spent shut in the room with the
remains of his late master.
Neighbors adopted the cat when, al
most starved, it was taken Sunday
fror the little two-room house where
Handle passed the last hours of his
life. Jake was almost a skeleton, and
great care had to be taken at first in
order not to overfeed him, but.
stretched in rocking chair, his sides
bullying and his big green eyes closed
to mere Sits, Jake was the picture OF
contentment.
Handles mother, Mrs. F. A. Saun-
ders, offered to care for the sole COM
panion of her son for many months
prior to his death, but when she found
Jake apparently happy and content to
remain with neighboring family, she
left him in his adopted home
The body Of Mr. Handle was found
by Patrolman Johnson after the
mournful cries of the cat had aroused
the neighborhood to the fact that
something was wrong In the little cot
tage.

Children, Color Up This Plotur. to su it Yourself.

"Oh, that's all right said the bear,
and he waddled up to the fire where
the bean pot was steaming. Now,
you watch me get all the grease you
want for the beans!" And then the
bear took a sharp knife and cut little
slit III his own fat side, and out of the
slit q lot fine bear fat ran into the
pot!
Hal" said the rabbit, and he
thought ne had never tasted beans as
good as those the bear gave him
which were seasoned with the bears
own fat. After supper, the rabbit
went off home. limping, and lay down
to sleep in his own house in the
broonl-grass down by the river.
On the day Of the council, the rab-
, bit went up to the bear and said:
You must come home with me and
have supper at my house" and the
bear said he would.
For supper, the rabbit had beans
cooking in the pot, and the bear sat
down outside the door and shifted and
shifted. Pretty soon, the rabbit called
out to ask the bear if be liksd plenty
of grease In his beans, and the hear
said he did
"All right" said the rabbit, and he
took up a sharp knife, as he had seen
the bear do, and cut little slit in his
own side. But no fat ran out of the
cut-instead of fat, blood began to
squirt out of the cut: and the rabbit
began to squeal in fright.
Then the bear came and saw what
the rabbit had done, and he was angry.
AS he worked away at tying up the
slit III the rabbits side and stopping
the bleeding, he said to the frightened
rabbit:
Stupid fellow, don't you know that
we are not all alike? I'm big and
strong and lined with fat all over, SO
the knife don't hurt me, but you're
small and lean, and you can't do such
things!"
So, when the old man ended his
story, he would ask the little boy:
What do you want-bears grease
or rabbit's?"

Boiled Peas and Beans.

My mother used to soak peas over
night otherwise it takes all day to
boil them). In the morning wash them
and put In a kettle with twice as
much water as peas, piece Of salt
pork, let boil steadily, but be sure
to watch them, as the water boils
away very soon. Add more, as you
must keep them very moist Salt and
pepper to taste. They are very tasty,
we think, and then again mother used
to soak over night and in the morn
ing wash and put in bean pot. Boil a
little first to soften them, with e. piece.
of pork (mixed), pepper and salt, and
bake like bears, and they are fine. We
often on Wednesdays boil some beans
the same as peas, and they taste fine

Long time ago, it was the old men
who told the little boys about the anil
NAL people and the Yunwi Tsunsdl. 1t
was in the long winter evenings, as the
fire died down from tall flames to
Goals with gray dust all over their
heads that the boys would hear most
about the Yunwi Tsunsdi-the little
people," or fairies, that lived away
out in the wood.
But almost any time the boys would
hear the stories of the animals, and
this one was told to them when they
we're eating supper. 1t was only neces-
sary for ore little boy to call out that
he wanted more grease on his beans
to start the old man on that story
about the time the rabbit went to have
supper with the bear.
1t was this way, as the old men
told it:
Once the rabbit was sent out as
messenger to call all of the animals
In council to decide about where they
would plant their corn that year and
where they would plant their beans.
All day the rabbit went from one
house to the next, and just as the sun
was going down the came to the bears
house.
"Siyu!" (helloD said the bear, you
look all tired out and hungry"
Yes" said the rabbit, "the road UP
to your house is very rocky, and | be-
gan to get a blister on my left hind
foot about two hours ago. l tell you,
the fellow that gets a reputation for
going fast is always kept on the
jump" And as the rabbit limped 10 a
chair beside the door, he blew out his
cheeks and shifted.
What you smell cooking In there
are BEANS" said the bear
And that reminded the rabbit of his
message, and when he had told the
bear to be sure to come to the council,
he got up and made as if to go away.
you must stay and eat supper with
me-" said the bear, and the rabbit said
he would If the bear would only give
him plenty of grease in his beans.

To Save the Hands.

Dutch women have a clever scheme
for saving the hands when blackening
the stove. Perhaps the American wom-
an would like to try it. Before touch
ing the stove they lather their hands
With soap and alloy the lather to dry
before they begin the biackening proc
ess. The soap prevents the blackening
from adhering to the fingers Cold
cream applied to the hands will have
the same result.
