Snow-White and Red-Rose, in the
Kitchen and with these words he ran
off to the woods, leaving Puss Junior
much relieved.
Puss followed the narrow path
around the house until he came to the
back door, on which he knocked
gently.
Come in" said two sweet voices.
two pretty little girls. one with lovely
red cheeks and dark hair. the other with
pure white skin and golden curls.
"Goodness me- cried the two chill
dren in he same breath Here is
another strange visitor. First a big
bear and then a cute little pussy cat"
Can YOU tell me where I may find
my father, Puss in Boots" asks Puss.
wearily laying down his cap and stick
and sinking into a chair near at hand,
for he was tired and dusty with trav-
cling.
Both children looked at Puss as
much as to say. He must be a crazy
cat" to ask such a question. and prob
ably Puss would have received no an
swer had not their mother come in at
that moment and overheard the con-
versation. Il have heard" she said,
"of a wonderful cat that lives in a
stately castle some leagues beyond
Mother Goose Land. OF course, you
know, you are now in Fairy Land. It's
a long way from here. But children.
she exclaimed. turning to the little girls,
you must now go to the forest to gather
brushwood."
So Puss set out with SnoW-White and
Rose-Red to the woods. AS they ap-
preached a fallen tree they saw a dwarf
trying in vain to loosen his long beard,
which had caught in a cleft. He glared
fiercely at them, but Puss, nothing
daunted. whispered to Snow-White. cut
his beard with your scissors and free the
poor little man"
No sooner was it done than the little
man scolded them for cutting his beau
tiful beard. You are most ungrateful
said Puss The dwarf said nothing, but
walked away.
He may know the road that will lead
me to my father" thought Puss to him
self. and quickly bidding the two little
girls soodby ran after the little man.
Just as Puss was about to speak to him
he disappeared. In vain Puss looked
about him; he could find no trace of the
dwarf. He was about to resume his jour
ney when he heard a voice like a growl.
and turning quickly saw the big black
bear
Fear me not. I say again" growled
the bear. for am really a prince" He
then stood on his hind legs and throwing
back part of his bear skin showed Puss
a green embroidered suit beneath. To
morrow l will catch the wicked dwarf
and then I shall be free again" Il
hope you do Sir Bruin," replied Puss
''and I also hope I'll find my dear ia
ther. Good-by."

which had lain on the shelf these
many years, and for three hours
I have been sitting crosslegsed IN
the comfy Morris chair reading in
teresting paragraphs. Condensed and
unraveled, here it is:
Several generations ago, there was
period OF reaction from the ex-
travagances Of the Cavalier age
when our iorefathers became so in
terested in the welfare and destina-
ton OF their souls they cared very
little as to what became OF their
bodies. During that era. in spite
Of the large families and high aver
age OF births, there was great per-
centage Of deaths. They threw their
own lives aud the lives OF others
away through their misjudged efforts
TO mortify the flesh.
Pages of explanatory history fol-
lowed, and then l pondered long upon
the changes these todays have made.
Now we pay less morbid but more
divine attention to our souls and con-
ccntrate more upon living wisely,
sanely and spiritually. AS an emf
nent college dean once preached to
US, Make your soul worth saving
and it will be saved"
Don't you think that as a general
rule any extteme tendency to dwell
too strongly upon distractions steals
from physical health and vigor? This
embodies, so my big, dusty book
tells me, the same principle as that
followed by certain intellectual
Partisan clique who became known
as The Dccadents."
Scientists PROFOUND the theory that
while a small percentage inclines
toward distractions, the bulk of the
people can deal more aptly with the
concrete. Those who are we'll bal
anced between these extremes are
rare.
There is a clash between these nat
ural tendencies and the economic con-
ditions in which many Of us find
ourselves through some strange turn
Of Fortuna's wheel.
As l write, l am thinking of an
old friend Of my mother, a gray
haired, middle-ageG woman. She had
been raised or a farm and was the
Oldest of large family, to whom
she played the tender role OF sec
ond mother.
There was much heavy work to be
done in their farmhouse-fruits and
vegetables to be picked, canned and
marketed; cows to be milked and
hungry harvesters to be fed in the
busy season. But she had been trained
to do her share o. the chores and
went about it cheerfully.
Before she had passed thirty she
had married a young farmer depen-
dent upon the living he could exc
from the small farm he had inherited
from his father She had made him
a worthy helPmate, shrewdly market
ing the eggs and golden pats OF but
ter she had labored to churn.
Then, in a twinkling, this busy life
was ended. Oil was struck on their
farm. The ambitious husband, stirred
to greater activity by this unex-
pected fortune, moved to city and
became involved in politics. Not to
be outdone by her husband, she
studied hard and sought to develop
mentally until she was worthy Of a
position in the small but amused
social world of their new home.
A few years ago the husband died.

 TO MONOPOLIZE STREET LIGHTING
Council Expected to Ap- prove Three Year Con tract With Illuninat-

FIVE HUNDRED GAS
 LAMPS TO BE DARK
City Attorney Finds No H. legality in Giving One
 Firm All Cash.

The United Illuminating Go. will be given a monopoly of street lighting for Bridgeport, at the meeting of the common council Monday even ing.
 After investigation by City At torney W. H. Comley, Jr, the lamps committee of the board of aldermen has been informed that the contract recently proposed by Alderman Stagg and other of the committee will mot be illegal.
 A three year contract will be en- tered into with the Illuminating Go and it is expected there will be no d1hculty in having it ratified Monday evening. Some opposition was stirred up on the administration side, but this is expected to be overcome.
 All. the gas lamps of the city will be abolished. There are a few more than 500 such lamps in Bridgeport and these will be torn up and put out of commission.
 The American Street Lighting Co. of Baltimore, has held the gas lamp contract In it's bids su ubrnitted to the board of contract and supply, the Illuminating Co. named $21 as its price per lamp. The Baltimore concerns bid was $21.2O. The board of contract and supply mend ed to the lamps committee that the for mer bid be accepted. It was held up, however, until City Attorney Comley could ascertain if it would be legal to give such a monopoly and leave the city without amy other Hghting g source, should the Illuminating Go. power fail.
 Eighty candle power electric lamps will be installed About 500 will be used.
 The common council, will have to raItify the contract before it goes i'm to effect. Thfs will be done Monday might.

PLAN FOR SIXTY POL ICEMEN WILL BE PUT THROUGH Insurgency in Favor of Cut ting in Tax Board Not
 Strong Enough. WILL GIVE GORDON
 $15,OOO UNWILLINGLY Cut $22, GOO Request by ST, 900 as Reproof to Ex-
 travagance.

Through force of circumstances the board of apportionment at it's meeting this afternoon, planned to coneede S. R. Gordon, superintendent of charities, $15,O0O of the money he has asked for equipment of the new Hillside home. Gordon has asked s22,oOo for this purpose, but indica- tive of the feeling over the matter, is the plan Co cut this $7.00o.
 The deficit of $15,o0O asked by Gordon will have to be obtained through a bond issue, if at all, ac- cording to the reports enanating from the board today.
 Despite healthy movement among the administration supports to cut down the levy of the police commits sioners for 60 new men, it is likely that this will be swept through at the meeting today. Some of the members have been favoring 25. but enough have been lined up to make 60 a prac- ticaI certainty.
 By foisting everything possible upon the people to decide by bond issue. it is likely, it was said today. that the tax rate would be cut to 19.7. Gossip around city hall said that 19.7 is the figure fixed upon the goal for this afternoons session.
 It is likely the board will conclude its deliberations with statement recomm the adoption of several items that will be included in the bond issue requests.
 Tn the expectation that that the board of apportionment would grant $15,000 for furnishing the Hillside home, the board of contract and sup ply is preparing to ask bids, to be in at noon, Wednesday, March 15. The specifications are not yet available.
