SimpIe-Minded Black Pussy.

For a long. long time Danny Meadow
Mouse sat watching Black Pussy watch
ing the opening. of Nibbler's runway
under the. hay in the NOW of Farmer
Browns barn. Black Pussy was crouch
ed just to one sides of that little en-
trance Just in that little place there
was no hay. 1t was where Farmer
Browns Boy stood when he pitched
hay down to the horses and cows
below Danny sat on a timber which
was part of the frame of the barn,
and which was right above that open
space so that he could look right
down on Black Pussy. The thought

But Black Pussy didn't find out
She squatted there perfectly still save

she could have kept that still to save
her life. Danny waited. waited. waited,
but Black Pussy didn't move. Her

them. but only for Il second. After a
while Danny grew impatient. This was
a new kind of hunting. Out on the
Green Meadows those who hunted him

for him it never was for very long.
But here was Black Pussy acting as if
she would spend the day there if need
be in order to catch Nibbler.
AS he watched Danny did a lot of
thinking. He had laughed at Nibbler
when Nibbler had confessed that Black
Pussy was the only one who, hunted
him there in the barn. After what
Danny was used to. SO many sharp eyes
and keen noses all the time hunting
him. it actually seemed funny to him
that any one should be afraid with only
one to watch out for. and that one
Black Pussy. So in his heart Danny
had thought his cousin Nibbler a very
great coward because he jumped and
ran at the least sound and plainly was
so very. very timid. But now as he
watched Black Pussy he began to un-
hunted openly. as he had been hunted
all his life, and it was quite an
other thing to have an enemy lying

gracious, 1 do believe he is down there

Danny leaned over the. edge of the
timber SO as to see better From
where he sat he could look into the
entrance to that little runway under
the hay. Something had moved there
Danny quite held his breath as he
watched. There it was again! Yes, it
was Nibbler. He was preparing to

Black Pussy crept across the floor until
she was right under Danny. There she

fierce yellow eyes, and in them eager

grinning. Pretty soon that fierce stare
made him uncomfortable. and he drew

WIFE SEEKS MAINTENANCE.
Mrs. Martha Stevens Claims She Was
Locked Out of Home.

Mrs. Martha Stevens has filed suit
for maintenance in the District Su-
preme Court against her husband, Will
fred Stevens. She tells the court that
when she returned from a Christmas
shopping tour Wednesday she found
the door of her house locked. She was
unable to enter the house, she asserts,
and was compelled to go to the home
of a neighbor.
The couple were married October 1,
1902, at Minneapolis, MINI. There are
no children. Mrs. Stevens asks all

husband owns valuable real estate, has

a while he peeped over again. Black
Pussy was still there looking up. By
and by he tried. it again with the same
result. Never had Danny experienced
such patience. 1t began to make him
uneasy.
Finally he had new thought He
ran back down under the hay. taking
the greatest care not to make a sound.
When he had reached the floor he ran
softly along the very runway which
Black Pussy had been watching. When
he reached the entrance Danny peeped
out very carefully. There sat Black
Pussy still staring up at the place
where she had last seen Danny. He
chuckled Then he squeaked. Like a
flash Black Pussy turned. Danny scam
pered back under the hay. Then he
climbed back to the place where he
could look down. Black Pussy was
back where he had first seen her at
one side of the entrance to that run
way under the hay. and she was watch
ing with all her might.
THAT cat is simple minded" thought
Danny. 'All she thinks offs watching
the place where she has last seen you.

CLOSING SESSION TODAY

A good home for every wage Garner

city planning. il the American city OF
the future is to house its industrial
population under circumstances when
will eliminate tendencies toward vice,
crime and degeneracy. according to
paper by Dr. John Noland of Cambridge.
Mass, read today at the concluding ses-
sion of the twelfth annual convention of
the American Civic Association at the
New willard Hotel.
Housing is big business" said DR..
Nolan "The minimum desirable house
of four to five rooms cannot be provid-
ed in the United States for less than
about $500 to $4,000. with improve
ments.
Suggests Solution of Problem.
EITHER the cost of the house and lot
must be substantially reduced or the
standard of healthful living must be
lowered or the wages of the poorest
maid workmen must be raised. / be-
lieyes the solution lies in recognizing
that the subject is primarily one for
the right application of broad eco
nomic principles. We must in some
thoroughgoing way convert the great.

as his subject "war Time Tendencies"
and said. in part:
Some months ago. it appeared pos
sible that a dangerous tendency of war
time would give occasion for a re-
newed assault upon the falls, which
have. been particularly the charge of
the American Civic Association since
the attention of the United States was
first called. in 1905. to the need for
their naturalization.
'The efforts of those who had in mind
to tie further spo1iation of Niagarass
glory to the national defense, were not
successful. Yet the danger to the falls
