The Black Cat

A few summers ago somebody want
ed to get rid of a cat. So one morn
ing strange black cat with very
frightened eyes might occasionally be
seen fitting from one hiding place
to another, until finally she became
quite tame; and grew into an exceed
ingly beautiful cat, sleek as mole,
and very friendly. And so it came to
pass that one morning, 10! and behold,
/ found her in a sheltered nook IN
the barn with a nest of four of the
dearest little black kittens ever<seen.
And with her bright, mild eyes, she
told me all about it. and acted as
if she knew would be just~as happy
and pleased about it as she was. So
she had her way, and the little things
grew and f1ourished astonishingly,
and began to climb out of their little
nook and take in the mighty sun
light, and the old cat began to bring
them mice and gophers. Then one
day certain other little babies came
riding down from the city to grand
ma's-that wonderful place where lit
tie ones run wild in joyous defiance
of all rules Of decorum. They climbed
everywhere and soon found the den
of the black kittens. Is there any
thing in the wide world so wonderful
ly beautiful and sweet as kitten, to
human babies? I told them to be
careful, or the old cat would not like
them, so they were careful and the
old cat was pleased to have her little
ones noticed. Each one tried to own
one, but they were so nearly alike
they couldn't. And they wanted to
take at least one home. When they
were gone / began to consider what
to do with those kittens. Winter
was coming and too many cats. Then
one day | saw the kittens run to
their mother and ask for their dinner.
She spat at them and ran away. Then
knew my hour of power had come,
and the fatal shadow had fallen. So
/ took a bran sack and hustled the
little chaps into it. Let us draw a
veil over the closing scene. And
now the sun shines above the shell
tered nook in the fence corner where
they lie buried in peaceful oblivion,
and the old cat in glossy loneliness
is blissfully ignorant of it all.

cry town and every home must make
sacrifices. The young men of the ma

sustain our rights and deal telling
blow to what threatens to become

mean that we are to deprive our
selves of the necessities of life, but
cut out the frills and conine our
selves to good, wholesome food. Ev-
cry family this year should try and
produce more than they can consume,
and in doing this, let them follow the
usual course of life. Don't deprive
yourselves of the little harmless
pleasures, recreation and comforts
that have made life worth living.
People who are advocating last years

In a Hole

When Grover Cleveland's little girl
was quite young her father once tel
ephoned to the white house from
Chicago and asked Mrs. Cleveland to
bring the child to the phone.
Lifting the little one up to the in
strument Mrs Cleveland watched her
expression change from bewilder-
ment to wonder and t. en- to fear. 1t
was surely her fathers voice, yet
she looked at the telephone incredu-
ously.
After examining the opening in the
receiver, the little girl burst into
tears.
"Oh, mamma" she sobbed, ''how can
we ever get papa out Of that little
hole ?'-Tit-Bits.

which it occurred has never been
given. 1t. was the 23rd of June, 1854,
Mrs. George Claus arriving in Bara-

will remember Mrs. Claus by that
