age, and she had one of the best excuses

This applies especially to politics.

This is an especially favorable day
for publishers and editors, but there

This should be fairly good day for

dubious in the morning may be sue

The stars appear to promise changes
for motion-pictu producers. These
tend to q solidarity of interests and
an improvement of artistic standards.
Changes in established theatrical

THE DAILY ADVENTURES OF
PUSS IN BOOTS, Jr.
Pigsie Jumps Over the Stile.
By DAVID CORY.

So far. everything and everybody had
failed to help the old woman. SO Puss
Junior said: Let me ask aid of the next
person. Perhaps he will help me, espe-
cially If 1t be an animal" The old wom-
an agreed, and as they looked about them
looking pussy-cat
Here is my chance" said Puss Junior.
Strengthening his cap and long sailing
feather and curling his whiskers SO to
look as handsome as possible:
"'Cat cat, kill nat;
Rat won't gnaw rore:
Rope won't hang butcher;
Butcher won't kill OK;
Ok won't drink water;
Water won't quench fire;
Fire won't burn stick;
Stick won't beat dog;
Dog won't bite ug;
Piggie won't get the stfle
And shan't get home tonight"
The Pussy Cat gave a lovely smile and
said: IF you will go to yonder COW, and
fetch me a saucer of milk, will kill the
rat"
do you hear what she says?" asked
Puss Junior, turning to the old woman
81 do" said the old woman, "and 1 will
go and milk the cow. I have a little sau-
Ger in my bag. How lucky I am" So
away went the old woman to the COW.
and said: Cow, COW, give me a saucer
of milk; cat won't kill rat unless you do.
But the cow said to her: IF you will go
to yonder -haymakers, and fetch me
wisp of hay, I will give you milk" So
the old woman went to the haymakers
and said:
'Haymaker. give me wisp of hay
Cow won't give me milk
and II I don't get a wisp of hay, SO many
many things won't happen that shall
give up in despair" But the lawmakers
hardly paused in their work. One Of them
finally said: "old woman, il you will 60
to yonder stream and fetch US a bucket
of water, We'll give you the hay"
Come with me, Puss Junior" said the
old woman, "for l am very tired" Puss
felt very sorry for her, and carried
the bucket. But when they got to the
stream they found the bucket full of
holes. "Dearie mel" exclaimed the old
woman. what are We going to do?"
Puss grinned. and. picking up a number
Of pebbles, fitted them carefully into the
holes. Then he filled the bucket with wa
ter, and he and the old woman went back
to the haymakers. They gave her
eaten it, she gave the old woman the
milk, and away she went with it In a
saucer to the cat. AS soon as the cat
had Tapped up the milk the cat began to
kill the rat, the rat began to gnaw the
rope, the rope began to hang the butch
er, the butcher began to kill the OK, the
OK began to drink the water, the water
began to quench the fire, the fire began
to burn the stick, the stick began to
beat the dog. the dog began to bite the
pig; the little pig in fright jumped over
the stile, and SO the old woman got home
that night.
