THE STORY OF AN OFFICE CAT
Something That Really Happened. By Gertrude Cushing.

This is the story of a pussy cat who lived in an office building in Boston
 She was a great favorite with all the men in the office and if she want ed to walk about on the desks the clerks did not try to prevent her Sometimes she touched the end of a pen handle with her soft paw, but no one scolded; so she grew very fond of the desks and often took her maps there.
 One morning one of the young men came into the office, opened his big book and reached as usual for his pen, but it was not in it's place. In fact, there was not a pen or pencil where he had left them.
 So he called the office boy and said: Michael, where are my pens and pencils?"
 Michael stopped his work in great surprise Sure, I don't know, sir" he said. q haven't touched them"
 And then began a great search, for not only were the pen and pencils gone from this desk, but they were gone from all the desks. And they couldn't be found. 2
 No one thought of asking Miss Pus- sy, and yet there she sat all the time, purring contentedly.
 About an hour later Michael went to the cellar and at the foot of the stairs he stepped on a hard lump which al- most caused him to stumble. He stopped and felt around and there un- der an old piece of carpet were all the pencils and pens that the night befopu hao been left in their places in the office
 How did they get there?
 Well, Michael was the one who found out. At night after every one had gone home he sat down quietly in B dark corner to watch.
 Pretty soon 9long came Miss Pussy. Up she jumped onto desk and be- tween her teeth she took one of the long pencils. Then she jumped to the floor and trotted bpsily to the cellar door and disappeared. Michael waited quietly in his corner.
 After a few minutes she@caIne back and did the same thing again. Four Hmes Michael saw this done; then he followed her, creeping softly down the Ptairs until he was near enough to see per little form as she dropped the pen pnto the floor beside the piece of car pet.
 Then he saw her lie down on her hde, and raising the edge of the car- pet push the handle under with her paw. She had to push and push to get 1t as far under as she wanted 1t, and she had to make eight or ten trips from office to cellar before all the pens hnd pencils were safely hidden.
 Night after night she repeated this performance, for as no harm was done, she was allowed to amuse herself in this way.

The Prize Winner,

A king once ordered a trial of good deeds among his people, and offered to give the winner whatever he might select as a prize.
 There had often been trials of strength, trials of speed and trials of skill; but in the first the strong op- pressed the weak, in the second the swift did not help the slow, and in the third one tried to cheat the other
 A day was set forth for this new trial, and the following morning the people were to meet at the palace, where one by one they were to be ad- mitted to tell the king what good they had done.
 When the time came many queer stories were told. One man said he had seen many little things to do, but had hurried on all day in search of some great thing worthy of prize.
 How foolish!" cried the king. Do you not know that you can reach the great only by way of the little:''
 Last of all came a little girl. She had on a plain calico dress her hair was neatly brushed. and her blue eyes had such an honest look that the king felt sure she had done better than any, of the others. But she had come only to look on, and when the king asked what good deeds she had done, the child answered:
 May 1t please your majesty. I had no time yesterday to do good deeds.'
 ''No time for good deeds:" said the king. 'Pray, what were you doing ?'
 Mother was busy" replied the child, 'iso fed the chickens, picked up chips, swept the kitchen, set the table, and played with baby to keep him still"
 'FGood!" said the king, but did you not wan. to try for the prize?"
 70, yes, indeed" answered the little one. T do not know how to do good deeds, anyhow"
 5o 4I.- intend to give you the prize. So now tell me what you want"
 The little girl was surprised; she blushed and said:
 May 1t please your majesty, would like a little wagon for baby to ride in.''
 She received not only what she wished for, bu. much more.

| HOW INSECTS MAKE THEIR
 FUNNY NOISES.

In an interesting article in the Oc- tober Woman's Home Companion 3D. pears the following:
 Many of the little folks of field and forest have fine musical instruments and play on them night and day, for three or four months of the year. The lorg-horned grasshopper, or true katy did, is the leader of the band He has two sets of wings, the outer ones used for flying, the inner ones make up the bow and fiddle. Near the base of these inner wings is fastened a set of strong veins When he moves them so that the veins on each wing rub together, it makes a funny little wiry sound, and that is what is called grasshopper's f1ddling.'
 Our common little green grasshop- per is another fine player. His fiddle is attached to one wing, and he uses his hind leg for a bow. On this leg is line of little bead-like Jumps, from each of which grow a number of fine hairs When MT. Crasshopper draws this leg back and forth ever his wings, his 1ovesongs lrill out on the summer air. His poor little mate tries hard to make the same kind of music; she goes through the same motions, but can never produce a single sound. She never grows discouraged, but keeps it up night and day; and I suppose her lover takes the will for the deed, and loves her just the same.
 Another first class fiddler is the cricket. His tune Is loud and shrill. One tune by night, one by day, is his rule. He has even been known to change his note when the clouds dark ened the sun for a while in the day. Some insects beat little drums when they want n make music. The seven teen-year 1ocust has two tiny drums fastened to ffs abdomen. They are fixed firm and tight, and to each one is attached strong muscle which the insect can tighten or relax at will. II makes sound something like beating on 8 tin pan and will drown out every other musical note of the summer day.
 Another queer player Is the death watch beetle. He burrows into old wood, and makes tap, tap, as ne pushes along. The longicorn beetle produces a rattling sound by the fric- ton of his ecaly neck. Many others of our fairy like friends have musical arrangements that make us think of ffddles. In fact, the violins of our own use were probably suggested by these little fiddlers of nature"

UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE
 AWAKES.

One little girl wrote Uncle Jed she was saving her garden seeds to plant next spring. This is a good way to learn how different the child is from its parent. The seed is always true to the species and many of them are true to the variety; but many flow CTS do zSt renew their colors and some do not repeat their exact form.
 Daisies and roses and sweet alyssum repeat themselves; but dahlias. and petunias and pansies do not. The pret- ty little Johnny vary but little. But most flowers can only be kept by making cuttings and keeping them growing upon their own roots. The planting of the seeds will not repro duce flowers of the same color.
 A flower garden planted with seeds from it's own plants is a surprise to the little girl who saves the seed. The seed from the white petunia makes flowers that are red and white-or white and violet or may be two shades of red. The seed from the white pan- sy may make pansies of half a dozen different colors; but the salvia will re-

 It became an opal by the blowing of many colors into the dewdrop.

The Glass Trin.

Every year it is the custom for tho members of the graduating class of the
 Montvilie schools to go on a class trip.
 The money for this trip is gained by
 having each pupil pay five cents every
 week, and also by having minstrel shows and plays. sas
 This year we went on the annual
 trip about the 4th of June. We start
 ed about ' o'clock in the morning and
 rode until we came to New London,
 Some of the girls and boys got out and had their cameras filled. When
 they came back we started, eleven in
 all, for our long journey to Hartford.
 The first stop we made was at Q store in Chester, where We bought some oranges and bananas to take
 along with us on the trip.
 The teacher told us we would stop
 at Bible Rock. We were all very anx-
 ious to see this rock. When we came
 to it we got out of the auto and went over and wrote our names on it. Some
 Of the girls and boys took q picture of the rock.
 After that we got into the auto and kept riding, and riding, until the glad news reached our ears that we were in Hartford.
 The first building we went through
 were beautiful carvings and paintings and some handsome statues. Seeing it was near noon time, we went and had dinner in d restaurant After dinner we went through the capitol building and climbed about 112 stairs to the dome. There we had our pictures taken, and also took a pie ture of the city of Hartford. Then we came down from the dome and all of us went and registered our names and then we went to the libra ry and also registered our names there. -
 There was a ball game going on that day and the boys wanted to go to it. We first went through Elizabeth park and then to the game. After the
 game 1t was almost time to go home. Before we went we wanted to buy some postcards to send to our friends, so we all went into a drug store and bought 103 postcards and stamps From there we went to the postoff7ce and mailed them. After that we start ed for home, about half past six. We reached New London about quarter past II and had supper there.
 After supper we started for home, which we did not reach until about 12 o'clock. ~
 They all said they had very good
 time, and it was also good thing that the next day was Saturday. KATHERINE HICKEY, Age 14, MoufyiifA

POETRY.
ROLY-PoLY.

By Emma A. Lente. He has the very finest eyes. soft and clear and brown, And the love that from them flows you'd be proud and glad to share; An he holds his head up high, as dog of lineage should, And a coat of silky softness does he wear. Of the house from end to end he has the ram, All the windows are his outlooks and every chair his seat; And he cuddles on ones lap with sigh of great content; He has such a waggy tail, and he has such prancing feet. Just a roly-poly of a dog with lus- trous eyes, And a head that holds a mighty lot of sense; And the house will be very quiet lonely place indeed, If by any sad mischance he wan ders hence.

Dear Uncle Jed: I would like to tell you about one of my adventures with a penny.
 As cornrade Bessie aisd myself were raking the back yard, trying to inn prove it's beauty for Memorial day, happened to glance down at a round copper colored piece of metal which looked like a penny.
 Not believing it was anything of the kind, I stopped down to pick it up and it was just the thing. With all the joy in my hand, I ran to mother, telling her the news. ,--
 She told me to put it in my pocket book, and not to spend it for about three days, and that might bring me luck, so the old saying was After doing this I went down to finish clean ing.

Kate's Wonderful Trip.

It was on moonlight night that Kate found herself on a large train in Wyoming. How she enjoyed that ride! The train was going so fast and there were so many sights to see that Kate thought she would have to have brighter eyes to see them all at once.
 She soon came to the Hotel Niagara. There, to her surprise, she found her big brother Tim waiting for her. How delighted and happy she was to see him, although she could not find out how he came to be there ahead of her,
 but that didn't matter.
 After lunch she went out for walk with her brother Tim. In that walk she saw beautiful sights. Tine water filled terraces with their beautiful col ors were amazing to Kate. All Of a sudden she found herself near mammoth hot spring. Where had she read of hot springs? It seemed hard to recall the name of the book, but after moments hard titled Yellowstone Park. Was she in this very same park? This was hard to believe by Kate herself. She re- membered the Devils Kitchen, and al-
 though it was interesting, nothing | could induce her to go there. Now she found herself going for a seven mile ride in a park coach. She
 was told to watch for all animals. This she did. Once she saw a mother deer with it's little one on the banks of the road. As she raised her camera to | take snapshot of the animal it bound ed away into the jthicket. This was not the only animal she was disap- pointed with. It seemed to- her that l she only frightened them away with her camera, so she did not try to take any more snapshots.
 Another thing which Kate thought a marvellous sight was a fountain geyser | It had beautiful co1ored tlnts and water spouted 6p ever so high. A few | steps away she saw lake which had | the colors of rainbow. She saw other
 odd springs and pools, and she could
 not get over the wonderful sights | When through with her thoughts she | found herself in another very strange l place. She soon found out by her l brother that she was at the Niagara Falls. She looked off toward the di- i rection in which he pointed and saw | the falls.
 As she was going to climb upon | another cliff 10 get a better view ot 1 the falls she slipped and fell away
 down in a narrow pathway between | two cliffs.
 All of a sudden she heard he,
