Snowfall. Puff and Kit were doing
in the sun-that is, Kit and SNOWFALL
were. Every once In . while Puff
would open one eye and look At Kit
and SNOWFALL to see II they were
asleep. ~
BY and by he crept very carefully
out Of the barn and went down the
road. Snowfall opened his eyes Just
in time to see him go through the gate
way. ...
where is Puff going?" he asked
Kit. II have noticed lately that he
runs down the road very often and
he does not ask either Of us to go
with him."
KIT licked his paws before he an
swered. and then he looked at Snow
ball. with your knowledge Of the
world" he said. II should think you
would know where he goes, and why
He is In love. Have you not noticed
how he sits around and dreams? He
never runs about with us any more"
YES" said Snowfall. Il have no.
ticed that, but l thought 1t was be-
cause he was SO tired; he il out SO
late at night hunting rats"
Rats" said Kit; 'he isn't hunting
rats: he is out walking with Gray
Tabbie's daughter, Nina. They sit on
the fence and talk and look at the
moon all night. That is the reason
he sleeps 80 much days"
"You do not tell mel" said Snow
ball. Il never thought Of love af-
fair. Well, Nina is a very sleek-look-
ing kitten," he said; very sleek, in
deed"
It was some time after SNOWFALL
learned Of Puff's love affair that he
was walking down tho road one after
noon and heard dog barking. The
dog was dancing around = tree and
seemed to be barking At something in
the tree. On the fence sat Nina Kit.

looking very fierce. but the dog did
not look at her.
Snowfall hurried to the tree. for he
half suspected what had happened.
and there sat Puff on . limb looking
very much frightened. SNOWFALL new

the dogs In the neighborhood stood in
fear Of him. Then he jumped to the
fence beside Nina Kitten.

come with me; I'll see you safely

Nina Kitten hung her head and
looked very shy. Then she smiled and
said: -oh. thank you 30 much, Mr..
SNOWFALL! was SO frightened"
Snowfall helped her 10 the ground
and then he said: ut IL such = lovely
day, don't you think we might hunt
for catnip? can assure you that no

Nina Kitten said she should feel

reporter" Every good newspaper man
has served his apprenticeship as .
cub" The only managing editor who
is good for anything and the only ed
itorial writer who gets there with the
punch is the man who has reported
fires, murders. accidents and street
happenings and has written his share
of human interest stories picked up
from the boulevards and from the
alleys OF the slums.
After he had made the Ordinary run
of newspaper work. Mr.. Newton be-
came what the profession calls star
reporter. and he was sent by . great
press association to the Spanish-Amer-
ican war. He reported the deeds OF
our warships on Havana and on San
tiago. And 1t was he who secured the
first story of the wonderful fight put
up by the little. ship Winslow against
odds. It was MT. Newton who hrst
told the world Of the death of Ensign
Worth Bagley at his post of duty in
the naval battle in which the Winslow
was engaged.
One of Byron r. Newton's poems
has been printed and reprinted. He
was . reporter on great New York
paper and he had. witnessed the re-
suits of great tragedy. He thought
on the tragic event and then on the
carelessness Of the Joyous crowds all
unheeding of the sore troubles and the
heartbreaks about them. Some peo.
pie have said 1t is an awful poem. 1t
is strong and very likely awful. but 1t
is doubtful If its truth Is overdrawn,
Here 1t is:
ODE TO NEW YORK.

Bedwarfed the man. o'ergrown the brute.
Ruled by boss and prostitute,
Purple robed and pauper clad.

A wilderness OF human flesh;

New York. thy names delirium.
It falls to the lot OF this assistant
secretary Of the treasury to see to 1t
that the sites which have been recon-
mended as proper for the erection Of
public buildings are all that they
should be. In other words Mr.. New
ton has to see to 1t that someone is
not putting one over on Uncle Sam.
Congress appropriates money for pub
lie building sites and does 1t frequently
without much care in selection. Just
now the treasury department Is hold
ing up more than two hundred authori-
cations made by the lawmakers for
the purchase Of sites for public build
ings. A vast amount OF money ia in
volved and, more than this. the econ
omy and efficiency Of several depart
ments of government are at stake. Il
is said that as the result of the watch
fulness of the treasury officials the
present system Of haphazard appro-
priations for public buildings ultimate
ly will be abandoned.
Newspaper men have made good in
Uncle Sans service. A newspaper
man sometimes Is practical and some.
times he is not. A poet never Is
thought OF as practical, but Byron r.
Newton seemingly has shown that 4

perfectly sane In matters pertaining to
proper business activities,

for a winter application with a weaker one.
 In controlling the scale, it is always advisable to spray. the trees while in a dormant condition, for it this time the wash, may be used much stronger than would be safe to use on foliage. Spraying may be done in the fall, in mild climate during the winter, or preferably in, early spring before the buds push out For small plants, low trees, ornamental hedges, etc, a buck let pump or knapsack pump will pro- vide all the apparatus necessary. For 1 orchards of some size, as five to ten acres, a barrel or hand power pump will prove more satisfactory and for. l1arge commercial orchards gasoline
 outhts are usually employed. Where only one or two trees are to be treated | it isy quite practicable to apply the
 wash on the limbs and branches with I a brush.
 In addition to the lime-suIphur wash les, kerosene and crude petroleum
 either pure or in emulsions, are used The Department does not reeomnend
 however. the use of these oils in a. pure condition, and while there is no ques- ton as to their efficacy in destroying
 the insects. their employment is likely to cause serious injury to the trees Kerosene and crude petroleum may be 4 readily emulsified in soap and the oil thus used at any desired strength. The So-CsIAAOo 1AASc1Dt9 OILS, however, which areI commercial preparations, Eare how largely used by those requir- ling oil sprays in preference to the home made emulsions. Treatment with 1 these oils is probably desirable only lwhen the infestations is very severe and experdencest has shown that the lscale will mot be controlled by lime- sulphur sprays. Soap washes made
 from dsh-on{ soap are also used to Isome extent at the rate of two pounds

MHLKs DEER DAILY.
Doe Herds With Waterbury Cows and
 Follows Them Into Barn

remarkable story about a deer which gives milk appears in the Wa terbury Republican and its truth is vouched for by witnesses. The Water bury game warden was approached on the street the other day by -Nocalo Palomba, whose farm. is north of the city Mir. PaIon1ba was worried He informed the game warden that he feared having violated the game law. When asked to explain matters more clearly, MT. PaIonba related on his farm 9. deer which is raiIked daily. yielding about a quart and a pint of milk.
 MT. Palomba feared that he might have possibly committed an offense against the game law and wished to make matters right The. deer. MT. Palomba explained, came to the farm about two weeks ago and appeared at home among the cattle. It followed them about continually and the farm hands were compelled to drive it away from the barn at night lest it sleep with them.
 1 Finally. the latter part of last week, one of the men ventured to milk the ti1nid animal. The deer was allowed to go into the barn with the cattle cornered. To the great surprise of the farmer, the deer remained per- fect1y still during the milking process :. making no attempt to escape.
 MT. Patomba himself decided to take charge of the milking the next night and went through the same pro- I'gram. He found that the deer re- mained very Orderly during the milk ing, behaving even better than one of his cows. Mr.. Pa1omba declares the milk is excellent and easily excelIs l that of the COW. The deer still re-
 mains at the farm and is milked every night, and MT. Pa1omba invites
 any doubters to pay personal visit
 to the farm and take hand at milk
