and as the kitten finished Snowfall
said to him: 'I have decided to take
you along with me to my home out
in the country If you would like to go. .
The kitten was quick to say that he
would. and so SNOWFALL helped him to
get upon the seat of the wagon, his
master took a corner of the horse
blanket and wrapped it around him,
and so with Snowfall close beside
him, Midnight, for that was what
SNOWFALL had already named him be-
cause of his blackness, rode out into
the country to his new home.
Kit and Puff were in the house I'M
der the stove when SNOWFALL walked
in with Midnight close behind him, and
when they saw the kitten, they showed
their displeasure by arching their
backs and making their fur bristle up
In the fiercest sort of manner
Now, none Of that" said SNOWFALL;

have adopted him, and any unkind
thing that you do to him you will have
to answer for to me. Sit down." he
said to Midnight, land get warm. while
| go and take this sweater Off and get
ready for dinner"
Kit and Puff sat at the far side of
the room and looked scornfully at
Midnight
did you ever see such looking
kitten in your life?' said Puff.
Never" said Kit. Snowfall must
have taken him out of an ashbarrel.
What do you suppose he brought him
home for, and what is he going to do
with him?"
What am going to do with him?"
said SNOWFALL, who had returned just
in time to hear the latter part of Kits
remark. "Pm going to make cat of
him, the kind of cat would like to
have been myself If l could have had
my own bringing up. Come on" he
said, turning to Midnight, we'll have
dinner, then I'lla show you where
you're going to sleep. and tomorrow
morning I'll give you your first lesson
in being real cat"

SNOWFALL ADOPTS MIDNIGHT

Well" said Snowfall, as he looked
out OF doors, this is certainly pretty
bad weather, l think had better
put on my sweater If am going into
the city with master this morning"
And SNOWFALL was right. 1t was bad
weather, for. neither showing nor rain
ing, 1t was little of both, and every
thing was covered with glare OF
slippery. treaeherous ice. and 1t was
unusually cold. Kit and Pun looked
with amazement when Snowfall came
out with the red collar Of his sweater
drawn as far as II would so up around
his neck. completely covering his col
lar and partly covering his face.
You are not going to town morn
ing like this?" they asked as SNOWFALL
started toward where the team was
standing. "Oh, yes" said SNOWFALL.
I'm no Preside cat like you and
some Of the other tahbies around here.
When have work to do l don't let a
little ice and a little cold weather
drive me under the stove" and. fiirt-
ing his tail saucily. he jumped up on
the seat of the wagon to wait for his
master.
In town there were number of long
waits while goods we're being bought
or delivered, and one of the longest of
them was in part of the town where
SNOWFALL did not remember of having
ever been before. The houses were
tumbledown in appearance, with here
and there blind swinging loosely on
one hinge, and not a few windows
from which the glass had been broken.
This must be the slum district, +"
said SNOWFALL to himself, "and l sup
pose there may be some pretty tough
characters round about here. l shall
have to keep a sharper watch than
usual to see that nothing is stolen
from the wagon" While he was walk
ing about trying to watch both sides
Of the wagon at once he heard a faint
"meouw" from the ground, and going
over to that side of the wagon from
which the sound seemed to come he
saw the most disreputable little black
kitten that he had ever seen. His
little body was SO small and poor that
his head looked two sizes too large
for him, and his eyes were all watery
with tears as he looked up at Snow
ball and meouwed again.
Whats the matter, kitten?" said
SNOWFALL; why don't you go home
where it's nice and warm and get
something to eat? You look hungry"
Il am hungry" said the kitten; "but
I amt got no home"
Little by little Snowfall learned the
story of the kitten, how he had be-
longed to little girl who had tired
of playing with him and how he had

been put out Of doors to shift for him
self, and what hard time he had had
of 1t in the storm.
WELL" said SNOWFALL, when mas
ter comes back I'll see what we can
do for you. Wait around a while"
When the master was about to jump
on the team Snowfall stopped him
and called his attention to the little
kitten and told him the story he had
just heard. His master agreed with
SNOWFALL that something ought to be
done, and as 1t was about lunch time
they agreed to take the kitten on to
the wagon and carry him along to
the place where SNOWFALL got his usual
saucer of milk When SNOWFALL got
his milk the little kitten got saucer,
too, and he ate 1t as If he had never
had anything good before.
Tastes pretty good. don't it?" said
Snowfall as he smoothed his mustache
a little after he had finished. Wont
you have little more?" The kittie
said he would and finished another
saucer almost as quickly as he had the
first one.
While the kitten was drinking the
second saucer SNOWFALL was over in
the corner talking with his master,

A DRAWING CAMPAIGN.

A small girl went home from school
at Ketchikan, Alaska, after a talk to
the children by Mrs. Cornelia Temple
ton Hatcher, president of the territor-
ial w. G. T. u, and excitedly an
nounced to her mother that she was
going to sign the mustard roll" Mrs.
Hatcher repeated the information to
her audience that night and told them
that the temperance forces intended
to put considerable ginger into the
campaigns for prohibition and the
children would supply a right smart
of mustard" The combination would
make plaster that would draw every
dry voter to the polls on November
4, 1916.

WHOSE BoYsY

Recent Investigations show that
two-thirds Of all the drunkards con-
tract the drinking habit before they
are twenty-one years old, nearly one
third before they are sixteen, and
about seven per cent before they are
twelve. The liquor dealers know this,
and for business reasons they must
create appetite" among schoolboys.
One family out Of every five must fur

SOME STAPLE FARMING

Among the Marion county farmers
in the city today on business is Mr..
]. II. Carter, of Fairfield. Last year
Mr.. Carter planted large acreage
to truck products and on account OF
the low markets had anything but a
successful season. This year be be-
gan on different basis and is devct-
ing his attention to staple crops. He
has now in a splendid growing eondi-
ton 500 acres of corn, 100 acres OF
long staple cotton, $50 acres Of vel
vet beans, over 100 acres of peanuts,
forty acres of sweet potatoes, and
other staple crops in proportion. Attic
trucking is often exceedingly profit
able, it has it's uncertainties under oul
present marketing facilities, and il
/ is a safe prediction that when oul
farmers devote their attention tc
staples as Mr.. Carter has done the
country vii be on a far more SOLID
basis.

Thursday morning train for Ocala
with F. w. Cook of that place for a
visit with that gentleman, whose wife
is the captains granddaughter. Capt.

it is apparent that he has lived past
