Pussy and -6inkie.

'Binkie's My Firstest Friendi" Pussy can sit by the fire and sing, Pussy can climb a tree, Or play with a silly old cork and
 string,
 To muse herself. not me. But like Binkie, my dog, because He knows how to behave; So Binkie's the same as the First
 Friend was.
 And I am the Man in the Cave. Pussy will play man Friday till It's time to wet her paw And make her walk on the window
 sill
 CFor the footprint Crusoe aawe; Then she fufffes her tail and news, And scratches and won't attend But Binl1ie will play whatever I choose And he is my true First Friend. Pussy will rub my knees with her
 head.
 Pretending she loves me hard: But the very minute go to my bed Pussy runs out in the yard, And there she stays till the morning
 light;
 So I know it's only pretend; But Binkie, he s11ores at my feet all
 night
 And he is my F1rstest Friend!"

sled through the green mass until his black-spotted yellow hide was filled with the odor
 Then he sat on a bunch of the cat nip, caught a leaf-laden stem up in either paw, and rubbed his cheeks. chin. nose, eyes and head. He ate an additional mouthful or two, and then Jumped back to his shelf, where the rest of the afternoon he lay, the very picture Of contentment.
 In one tigers cage there is a very young, but full grown animal When this great, surly beast inhaled the first sniff of the catnip, he began to new like a kitten. Prior to this. the soft est note of his voice had been one which put the roar of the big -maned lion near him to shame.
 That vicious tiger fairly revelled in the liberal allowance of the plant which was thrust into his cage. He rolled about in it, and played like a six weeks old kitten. He mewed and purred, tossed 1t about, ate of it, and after getting about as liberal a dose as the leopard had, likewise jumped to his shelf and blinked fazfly the rest of the day.
 One big lion was either too dignihed or too lazy to accord much attention to the bunch of catnip which fell to his lot. He ate a mouthful, licked his chops, as though saying "Not half bad" and then went back to his slumbers.-New York Herald.

Someone at the Washington Zoolog- ical Park obtained the permission of the authorities to try the effect of cat nip on the animals there. So far as known, catnip does not grow in the native homes of these animals and this was the first time they had ever smelled it.
 The scent of the plant filled the whole place: and, as soon as it reach ed the parrots corner. the two gaud- fly attired macaws set up a note that told fearfu1ly on the nerves of all and made for that side of their cage, polk ing their beaks and claws through It. When the catnip was brought near them, they became nearly frantic They were given some, and devoured it, stem, leaf and blossom, with an avidity commensurate with the noise of their cries.
 Next trial was made of an African leopard. Before the keepers had reached the front of the cage, he had bounded from the shelf whereon he lay, apparently asleep, and stood ex- pectant. A double handful of catnip was passed through to the floor of the den.
 Never was the prey of this spotted African in his wild state bounced up on more savagely or with such abso- lute savage enjoyment. First, the leopard ate a mouthful of the stuff, then he lay fiat on his back and wig

The City Under the Sea.

What do you suppose was discovered under the sea not long ago? A sunk en vessel, a treasure. mine?
 No, a city. A beautiful city with beautiful flowers and buildings, with streets paved with gold and everything was just wonderful and beautiful.
 Today started on a journey to this new city. I went to the bank of the sea and after standing there for a short while I was surprised to hear a voice. I did not know where it came from and as I looked into the sea and saw a big fish with a chair on his back. He asked me if I wanted to visit the city under the sea and I said Yes.
 I got into the chair and he took me down to the bottom of the sea. On my way down I met many other fish plants and remains of old sunken ves- sells. He left me in front of a door. I rapped and heard in a sweet voice Welcome to our city" I opened the door and walked in.
 I found that the inhabitants of the city were small. blue eyed rosy check ed and light haired. The buildings were also small and I had to get down On my. knees to enter.
 I found the city just as I was told it would be. The people did not work at all, but feasted and were merry all day long. When night came on the streets were beautiful with lights of all colors; the people retired and the city was still.
 I walked around the city, not know ing what to do, so I went to a few houses and asked if I could stay over night but the people were afraid to let me in because they thought I was a giant. I went out and waited for the big fish to come along again. He came and took me back to where ESTHER SHERSHEVSKY Age 12.

Fourth of Juix Parade.

Dear Uncle Jed: I am going to tell you about the parade in New London Fourth of July. It was the largest l ever saw The floats were the pret- tiest part. The police led 1t, follow ed by the soldiers, sailors and socie- ties.
 The National Women's League had several floats representing the differ ent industries such as farming, bak- ing and home life.
 4 very pretty float represented the nations. Four girls, one seated in each corner dressed in the Irish, French, Italian and English costumes; and the center under a canopy Iiber- ty stood, holding a drawn sword in one hand, supporting our flag, with the other. Another represented a sub- marine The float, however, was not decorated.
 A British war automobile was also represented.
 The New London Ship and Engine Co. had a float. showing garden plots rounded by flowers and farm products, formed this one.
 Then the Brainerd & Armstrong Co. had a flag float A huge American flag made entirely of spools of red, white and blue silk, formed the pret- tiest float in the parade.
 Among the other floats were the telephone company's bluebell, Sheffield Dentrifrice company, the Red Cross, the J. N. Lapointe company's gun and the ambulance. There were other floats too numerous to mention.
 The parade was a great success; so everyone seems to think

UNCLE JED's TALK TO WIDE.
 ANVAKES.

Most people think that spiders are not interesting creatures and that they are only fit 10 kin. Those who sr1dy them know they are wonderful.
 The spiders were the first silk spin ners, dyers, weavers, aviators, diving bell inventors and telegraphers and suspension bridge builders.
 They set snares for game before man knew how. and were hunters in the dawn of creation. and no surgeon ran more accurately find a nerve than they when they desire to paraiyze an snemy or to preserve alive their prey.
 While you are out gatf1e er4ng berries This summer you may see q great spider with a yellow back sitting in the center of his web waiting for game. The lines upon which he waits for vic tins are pure silk. but the other lines are hollow tubes filled with sticky fluid which oozes out and holds the fly or moth which happens to hit the web. The spider has greased feet so that he can run to his prey without being stuck to the web himself.
 Upon some spiders webs you do not see e spider, for he lies hidden in the foliage sometimes nine feet away, and holds a siIken signal line which notifies him when game is in the web. The spider knows the difference be-

JoeI,s Dream.
Tarvlie.

Get that one" shouted Joel Barker.
 No sooner had he said this when his companion, John Blake. raised his re- beating rifle ad quickly fired three shots into the burly elephants side. Down the elephant toppled.
 The luck of the ivory hunters had been far greater than expected. Al ready they had gathered twice as much ivory as they had expected to get.
 Running to where the elephant lay they found that the animal was of an unusually large size.
 Well, let's go back to the camp" said Joel who was the leader of the expedition.
 This they. did, talking until they retired about their remarkable catch.
 The next day they went again It seemed that they would break all rec ords. After killing three elephants they sat down, considering themselves satisfied for the remainder of the day. Suddenly four monster tigers appeared on the scene.
 Joel killed one and John another, but there were yet two left to deal with.
 The hunters were beginning to feel frightened. The tigers made a mad dash and would have jumped on Joel, when from the dining room was heard,

A Riddle,

The children were chatting one win ter evening about dusk when little Anna suddenly called out: Aunt Nell won't you tell us a story? You have been to so many places and have seen so much it is easy for you to tell a story at any time''
 "No dear" answered her aunt, mo story tonight. But I will give you riddle instead"
 "A riddlel" cried the children, all together. That will be fine What is it? Let us have it.''
 Tt is very old" said their aunt but it is just as good as new for those who have never heard it. Here it is:
 "A man was taking to town 8 fox, a goose and a bag of beans
 While he was with them there was which he had to cross. There was boat, but it was so small that, besides the man, 1t would hold only one of the three-the fox, the goose or the bag of beans.
 The fox would kill the goose if left alone with her. The goose would eat the beans if there were no one to pre- vent her doing so. What was to be cone? How was the man to get the three across safely?''
 Why, that is easy" said Anthony. leaving the fox with the beans. Is that right?''
 Yes. that is right for the first trip. What did he take over on the sec ond?"
 ''Why. then he could take over the fox said Mary.
 An, that would not do," said Aunt Nell. The fox would eat the goose"

the fox?" inquired the little girl. man had no muzzle. Besides, for the purpose of the riddle he had to take one after another in the boat"
 Why couldn't the goose swim over?" asked Anna.
 Because that would not be the proper way to solve the riddle" said Aunt Nell.
 Well" said Anthony, Eff the riddle cannot be explained in some such way, I give it up.''
 '.And so do r" And T." And IT" cried the others.
 "One minute" said Louise. Does it matter how many trips the man makes?"
 No; he can make as many trips as are necessary" answered the aunt
 Well, I have been thinking of one way he might manage it," said Louise He might, as Anthony said first take over the goose and leave her Next he could take the fox and leave him but bring back the goose. The next trip the beans could be carried across and left with the fox. On the fourth and last trip the man could take the goose over for the second tine.''
 Well done, Lo1ise, said Aunt Nell. You have solved the riddle. See how easy it is to explain even difficult things if we only stop to think.
 If you will use your head you will be able, with little trouble, to ex- plain many things more difficult than this riddle"

Danger From Cigarettes.

The boy who has good habits to of fer for a position has learned to avoid the temptation to use tobacco or alco- holic drinks. He knows that men will not think him manly or trustworthy unless he has learned this
 Little boys are very likely to think it is manly" to smoke, because the big boys and men do 1t. If they cannot have real cigarettes, they sometimes use&dry leaves or ferns instead of to- bacco, and this usually does them no harm: but in the tobacco that is used in cigarettes. there is a poison that is particularly dangerous to boys be- cause the tissues of their bodies can not resist it as well as if they were grown. This poison soon effects the lungs, the heart, and the nerves, and then the mind, so that boys who have smoked for & long time stop growing and lose their strength, and sometimes they become insane.
 "But I know plenty of successful business men who smoke" perhaps some boys say. And that Is very true, but they are not so healthful. They would be much better off if they did not drink.
 There is something in this tobacco of 1t the more they smoke. and if we would be safe from this harm, we must try now never to get to liking it.
 So if any one asks you to smoke or drink, be brave and sensible boys and say:
 "No. I cannot. I want to make . man of myself

Dear Uncle Jed: I am going to tell you about an afternoon that I had with a friend, on Friday. July 9th.
 A friend of mine from South Gov entry and her friend were visiting her aunt. I was invited up to see her. We enjoyed walking around looking at different things. Then later in the afternoon we took a walk down to a little pond.
 My friend asked her aunt if we could go wading in the pond.
 No objections being given we took a towel and went down. Having a sore ankle I did not go in and lucky I didn't. They waded around for a

4 sxiteh ir Time Saves Nine.


 Tn an old fashioned house in London lived a woman and her only daughter. This family was very poor and the mother was an invalid.
 The mother, Q tall and graceful woman, had dark eyes and her chest nut brown hair was mingled with gray. Alice. who was the daughter. worked in a store and, with the little earnings that she made, she supported the mother.
 The home was furnished very shab : billy, but was kept neat. Alice worked from early morning until late at night just for the sake of keeping her mother from starving.
 One evening when Alice came home she felt very sick. She didn't tell her mother, for if she could not work, who would pay the rent which was due, and who would buy he provisions, which were giving out? No, she didn't care. She must go to work.
 This went on for several days until she felt so sick that she knew 1t was impossible to go to work
 Little by little Alice grew worse and worse until about one week later the mother woke up only to find her only child dead.
 If Alice had only told when she first got sick, she might have escaped death.
