Jim, the Payroll Cat
"a True Story.)
BY Louella c. Poole.

Bewildered, frightened, hungry, gaunt,
A vagrant of the street,
He crept for shelter. one hot day,
Within the cool retreat
Tho deafening was the presses crash
OF great printery,
A paradise it seemed to him.
So spent and bruised was he
And in his place, all undisturbed,
No more obliged to roam
The city streets, with grateful heart
In peace he made his home
A fine reserve, born of his woes,
Bade him hide safe from sight,
But on patrol, sharp cared, keen eyed,
He stalked the place each night
And predatory rats and mice
Grew daily less and less
In truth a paradise it seemed,
These paths of pleasantness.
To one alone did he respond
The merry office boy
His call gray Jim ne'er failed to heed
With every mark of joy.
Upon his shoulder he would spring
Each morning him to greet;
About his tasks would follow him,
And purr around his feet.
When the steam whistle blew at twelve,
jim needed not the sound.
Tho twas the office incoming hour.
And quiet reigned around
But when at one the whistles shrilled,
Quick as n flash he sought
His friend, the boy 'twas then he dined) =,
10 share the food he brought.
"Why, Victor, do you always, lad.
Your lunch share in this way"
The master asked, as he observed
This friendly pair one day.
Quick on the payroll went the name
Of "Jim. the Office Cat"
'Gainst fifty cents. his weekly wage
And low enough at that
For keeping office foes at bay
And order in the house;
No longer could be seen or heard
single rat or mouse.
Quite diguificd and proud puss looked,
Said all who noted him,
When every payday was passed out
An envelope marked Jim
Ever alert. his place assured.
Now sleek. content. and fat,
A valued member OF the firm

TARIFF POLICY TO BE CHANGED.

London. April 1.-Two members of
the government, Mr.. McKenna, Chan
cellor of the EXchequer, who directs
fiscal policy and frames tariff legisla-
ton, and Bonor Law Minister OF
Colonies, have given an idea of the
government attitude on the agitation
which has been sweeping Manchester,
Birmingham and the great industrial
centers, for a complete overturning OF
British policy giving free open mar
kets for foreign goods and the inau-
guration of q new policy of tariff
restriction.
The two ministers represent the two
extremes of sentiment within the gov
eminent on this fundamental question
of British policy, the chancellor Of the
excheQuer belonging to the Golden
element strongly attached to the ira
ditiOnal doctrine OF open markets, and
Bonar Law representing the later ele-
ment which took up Joseph Chamber
lain's campaign for protection of home
industries. Each has made an address
recently, showing how both sides of
the government approach the same
conclusion that the war has changed
everything and has opened the way for
a new economic policy. The two
