AS the days begin to lengtheu
The cold begins to strengthen.
And if snow comes to cover

And when they are hungry they

We have a shelf fixed on a

Queer Friends.

Queer Friends.
D.nalh was little black kitten,
and squeakie was a vice gray
mouse.
Did you ever hear OF a cat and
a mouse that were dear friends?
Well. Squeakie was not afraid
that Dinah would eat her up for
they were very dear friends.
1t happened this way. One even
ling little Donald was lying ON the
rug in front of the fire. Mama
sat near by writing letters.
just as Donald's eyes we're going
shut he heard outside the win

Donald's eyes flew OPEN and he
jumped up crying, "Mama, l hear

Open the window and see if it
will come i'm
Donald opened the window and
found tiny black kitten shiYer-
ing with the cold.
How the poor little thing nest
Led in his warm arms as ha
brought it to- the fire
Mama brought it some warm
milk and they made it nice
warm nest in the woodshed.
The next day Donald tried to
find the owner; but no ONE claim
edd the little wanderer and mama
said he might keep the kitten
Cor his very own.
One morning. not long after
when mama went to the pantry
she found a young mouse in the
oeSp, bud i'm such a way that 1T
! was not hurt.
"Oh, don't kill the poor little
thing. Let me keep him, mama"
said Donald.
"But Dianh would eat him."
said mama
Il cam teach her to let him alohe
1 know l can, and l can tame
the little mouse. Please let me-
keep him. said Donald.
"All cats kill and eat mice. 1t
ds a part of their nature, and I
am afraid you will be disappoint-
ed said mamma, "but you may
keep him and see what you cam
do to make them friends .
Squeak, squeak" said mousie.
Donald found an empty bird
cage and put squeakie Into that
at first. Them he began to try to-
tame him.
1t was not many days before he
would eat from Donald's finger,
and then it was not long before he
could take him out and feed him
from his hand.
After awhile the kitten was
brought into the room and intro
duced to squeaky, but Donald was
careful to keep her from coming
too near the Little mouse.
After that Donald brought Di-
nah to see Squeaky every day. He
taught her not to harm or touch
him
She soon learned that Squeaky
was to be her playmate, and so
it soon came about that they ate
from the same saucer, and play
ed games and took maps together.
But the funniest sight of all is
to see the kitten walking proud
ly about with Squeaky on her back.

EUROPEAN WAR
AIDS SOCIALISM
Belgian Socialist Tells Hearers
That All Workers Will Unite
After Struggle

"The capitalists of Europe are edu-
eating the working people of Europe
to be Socialists" Henri La Fontaine,
Socialist Senator of Belgium, said at
a lecture given recently under the di-
rection of the 18th Assembly District
Socialists of Brooklyn, 853 Flatbush
avenue.
"By the fixed prices, by the gov
eminent ownership of commodities,
by the better care that they receive
in wartime, they are so training the
people that they will turn to Social
ism naturally after the war. The CO.
operative movement, that had already
been started and that had been
brought into the party, has been
strengthened by the war.
I'VE in Europe are looking to
America for a stronger group to take
a bigger place in the International
party when the Germans and allies
shall again unite. There is not enough
done in America to educate the peO-
pie in the work Over in Belgium
there is a Socialist bakery that sends
out $4,000 lOaves of bread a week
and every one of the men who deliver
the bakery goods has been trained to
do propaganda work in all the homes
! that he reaches; he has time to stop
for "a little chat"
Another point that La Fontaine en-
phasized was the fact that the Ameri-
can Socialist paid too much attention
to the phenomena and too little to the
noumena In other words, we have
emphasized the MARKHAM theory as to
economic government, and have spent
so much time preaching for the bet
ter means to an end, that it has be-
come the end itself. He urges, in still
other words, more attention to the
spiritual life, the uplift of humanity
not only out of economic slavery, but
out of mental slavery,
