AS he rode gaily along he came across
q funny old woman. On her head she
wore a red bonnet and over her shoulders
a bright green shawl Black lace mits
covered her thin hands and a pair of
white slippers her two little feet.
My good woman" said Puss Junior,
politely raising his cap. can you tell me
where I may find a shoemaker" The
old woman looked at our small hero as
cited this rhyme:
What shoemaker makes shoes without leather.
With all the four elements put toEetherl
Fire and water. earth and air,
And every customer wears two pair"
why, a blacksmith, you goosey," cried
the little old woman, tossing her head.
II don't want shoes for my good gray
horse" said Puss in a disgusted tone OF
voice, Il want a pair of shoes for my
self"
"Ho, hor' laughed the little old woman.
so my fine Sir Cat would have a pair Of
shoes?"
mo, my good woman-a pair Of boots"
We'll, them" she replied, keep on your
way until you reach yonder village. Then
cross the bridge and you will soon come
to a bootmaker. He will no doubt be
able to At a pair Of boots to your royal
highness' feet" Then she turned up a
lane and left Puss to pursue his way
alone
"Ah, me-" said Puss to himself. Il
don't feel bit like myself without my
red-topped boots. Indeed, I feel like ar
mpostor. How will any one believe that
I am Puss in Boots Junior II don't wear
boots?"
For tho first time he felt discouraged
He had met with many disappointments
on his journey Of adventure, but to be
without boots seemed almost too hard to
bear Still with a brave heart our little
hero kept on his way toward the village
I have at least the money with which
to buy them" he said, "and this is much
to be thankful for" Which was a wise
saying for a cat who had been out in the
world for so short a time as had little
Puss Junior.

Steel Lead. Market

The following analysis Of the New York
market situation was received yesterday
BY ". B. Hibbs & Co, from Logan &
Bryan, their New York correspondents:
After early irregularity the market
developed strength, and Of a sort that
has hardly been equaled since the cur
rent rise was inaugurnted. Steel was con-
'spicuous and proved to be an excellent
leader. The chief topic is large earnings.
and now that the public have taken things
pretty much into their own hands, as
sisted OF course by prominent market
factors, whose dealings are on a large
SCALE there Is rather well defined pros
pect OF the rise continuing until the
appetite Of buyers is more fully satisfied
than at present"

Puss Continues His Journey with
out His Famous Red Boots.
Puss Junior was very sad at having his
lovely red top boots destroyed by the
fire. In fact he hardly knew where he
could get another pair, for an ordinary
bootmaker had not enough skill to fit
boots on a cat. However, when he mount
ed his good gray horse the following
morning after the fire he found to his
surprise a couple OF gold sovereigns in
his pocket. He had already said goodbye
to the family, Including the pretty baby.

Presidents Neglected Grave.

rom the New York sun
The unveiling at Washington of q
monument TO President Tyler may
awaken interest in the report o. the
neglected grave OF President William
Henry Harrison. the head OF the Tip
pecanoe and Tyler, Too" presidential
ticket of the famous campaign of 1910.
Gen. Harrison was buried at Washing
ton, but at the request of his family
his body was removed to his former
home at North Bend, Ohio. and placed
in a tomb overlooking the Ohio river.
This and surrounding land was decided
to the state upon condition that II
should keep the property in repair. A
recent report says that the grave has
fallen into a state of shameful neglect
and Is almost lost in tangle OF
bushes and briers.' Ohio should cer-
tainly remedy this condition. not only
from the obligation of the trust she
accepted. but also out of respect OF
the memory Of a man who rendered
both the state and nation distinguished
services
