THE CATS.

"There was once cat" said Daddy,
"and he looked so much like a tiger
that he was named Tiger. His last
name was West, and so he was always
called Tiger West.
"Now one day when Tiger West was
having a very fine breakfast of bacon
and milk little stray cat came in the
yard. Meow, meow said the stray
cat.
'Tiger West lifted his beautiful head
from the milk bowl and began to wipe
his whiskers.
Meow he said rather proudly, for
he was a very fine cat and did not as
sociate with ordinary cats at all. He
was used to a silken cushion and fine
food. He was always well cared for
and his fur always looked quite per.
feet.
"T know where there is a nice
garbage tin,' said the stray cat, look.
ing a bit hungrily at Tiger West.
"Dear me- said Tiger West. What
do I need of garbage tin when the
cook gives me meals three times q day?
1 am well looked after. l am a rich
cat. My master makes a great deal OF
money He has silken cushions every.
where and one just for me. have a
basket with three cushions In it where

"'Oh, DEAR said the stray cat. You
make me very sad. have never had

"Meow, Meow" Said the Stray Cat,

very scornful way at the poor stray
cat. I shouldn't say that your master
made much money. He must be very
poor
"'He is,' said the stray cat. He is
only little boy. But he rescued me
when I was tiny kitten, and some
day, he says, when he makes enough
money selling papers he is going to let
me sit on a cushion in a show and that
then l will make money for him. All,
the happy day seems far off,
81 could make money if 1 wanted
to- said Tiger West, for 1 am hand
some enough. But 1 don't need to
work. This he said in an ugly snarl-
ing voice.
"'Well, should think you would be
pretty tired of sitting on cushions and
eating and drinking whenever you
wanted. Food can never be a great joy
to you because you always know you
can get it. Now, my master gives me
milk and what he can, but 1 have to
depend on the garbage tins for great
deal of my food
How hOrrid! ! said Tiger West.
"'Not at ALL said the stray cat. 1T
Is quite natural for cats to like garbage
tins. Come with me and 1 will show
you. But may / have a little of the
milk and bacon you are leaving?'
"'Oh, yes said Tiger West. 4
might as well do you good tup.'
"'You think envy you said the
stray cat. But I don't. Wait until l
tell you the history of my life
'And the stray cat told such thrilling
adventures of food-gathering and mar
row escapes with his life, that Tiger
West felt as if his life had been dull
indeed. He told how he had been res
cued as kitten and how all his life
since then his master had had to sell
papers and couldn't look after him. But
he had worked too. He had been able
to get almost all his own mealS-and
when people threw things at him from
the kitchens when he was after the
garbage tins, he had to run for his very
life. You see,' he said. Life is very
dull when you just sit around and sleep
and eat. l have adventures and you,
proud cat, are really very much bored
SIT was true. For the first time of
his life Tiger West had been interested
and hadn't yawned for ten minutes. He
started off with the stray cat, and
what a time they had-wild escapes
and fun such as Tiger West never
knew existed. STILL he said, it is
nice to know have a good home to go
to-
eyes said the stray cat. 4 am
enough of a cat to like comfort too,
but oh, how I love garbage tins'
"'They are nice,' said the proud
Tiger West, for he had found that he
really was fond of other things than
silken cushions and milk and fine
bowl.
"Ill tell you what We'll do said the
stray cat. 4 will give you adventures
and you can give me some food now
and again-good, rich food So the
cats agreed and Tiger West took many
adventuresome trips while the stray
cat felt happy that at the end of every
trip there was at least food awaiting
them in Tigers private yard where
nothing was thrown at a poor, forlorn
cat"

qufre more men on lookout than ever
before due largely to the activity of
submarines. Every glass donated may
help to trap one of these sea terrors
and permit it's discovery in time to
sink it. The exchange of binocu1ar
for a German submarine should be
sufficient compensation.
The idea Of asking for donations of
the glasses was suggested by the fol-
lowing >communication received by the
navy department:
II herewith send you field glass,
wishing to contribute my mite. I hope
it may be of service on one of the
patrol cruisers and aid in finding some

gladly accepted by the department,
and will be put into immediate use on

In order to conform to the govern
ment policy of not accepting donations
the navy department will pay 81 for
each binocular, spy glass and tele-
scope received.
