PUSS IN BOOTS
JUNIOR
By DAVID CORY

w ELI. II made little PusS
NM Junior very happy to
~ have Jack and the Maid
en- all foTiorn that MIXED
the COW with the crumpled horn SO
-slad to see him once more. for you
know how nice IL is TO meet old
friends and have them glad to see
you. But Puss didn't stay long.
oh. my no. He soon said good
by and started of once more
through dear Old Mother Goose
Land, and before he had gone very
far he saw his old friend, the Good
Gray Horse. He was grazing IN o
meadow close By. when he saw
Puss he gave a loud neigh and
jumped over the fence.
Hello. little Master.
Where have you been so long?
In field and lane I've looked in
vain,
And called to you in song"
Let me get on your back and 1
will tell you as We jog along"
said little Puss Junior. with 4
grin. and then he jumped lightly
on the good horses back. and
away they wen. together just as
they used to do. Oh. so many
stories ago. before Puss went to
Fairy Land and the Country of the
Gods.
Well. by and by, after q while.
they came to a great forest. and.
as 1t was getting late. Puss
thought il would be wiser not to
go any further. so he looked about
him for a place to spend the night
And not very far away, among the
trees, he saw little light shining
through the dark So, taking the
bride in his paw, he led the Good
Gray HerSe into the forest and
pretty soon they reached q little
hut, from a small window in which
shOne a tiny light.
Well, Poss stepped up to the door
and gave three knocks, and pretty
soon 1t opened and The Three Little
Kittens who had lost their mittens
all said at once:
"Why, here is Puss Junior,
The most famous of kittens,
Let us tell him at once
That We all found our mittens."
"Well, l am glad to hear that"
laughed Puss. but, tell me. do you
think you can put me up for the
night and give my Good Cray Horse
some oats?"
"Of course. we can" cried all the
little kittens at once. And then
Tom went out TO the stable and fed
the Good Gray Horse. and Tabby
hung PuSs Juniors cap on 4 peg,
and the third little kitten. whose
name was Judy, got the supper
ready.
And after supper they all sat
around the table. and Puss told
them how he had been to Japan
and ridden in a riCkshaw, and to
India. and had ridden on an ele-
pnants back. He old them all
about his trip to China and how he
had ridden the big farm buffalo
with the little Chinese boy.
And. oh, dear me. l wish I could
remember what else he related:
but l guess he told them about
Egypt and the camel ride and the
Magic Alrshlp. And when he I'm
ished. the little cuckoo came out OF
her clock and commenced to sing:
Its 10 o'clock and time for bed.
So get your nightCap in your head.
And take your candle in your hand
And start at once for Dreamy
Land"
And in the next story you shall
hear what happened after that

Lessingham stood for a moment
by the side OF the car from which
he had just descended. glanced at
the huge tires and the tins Of petrol
lashed on behind.
Nothing more you want. ehauf-
feur?" he asked
Nothing. sir" was the almost In
audible reply.
You have the route map"
Yes. sir, and enough petrol for
three hundred miles"
Lessingham turned away, pushed
open the gate. and walked up the
drive of Mainsail Haul. Decidedly
1t was the moment of his life. He
was hard pressed. as he knew. by
others besides Grifhths. few
hours now was all the start he
could reasonably expect. He was
face to face with very real and
serious danger, which he could no
longer Ignore, and from which es-
cape was all the time becoming
more difficult. And vet all the emo
tionalism Of this climax was, cen
tered elsewhere. II was from Phil
ippa's lips that he would hear his
real sentence: il was her answer
which would fill him once more with
the lust for life. or send him on in
his rush through the night for
safety, eallous. almost indifferent a.
to its result.

Paid Him Back.

Mr.. Jones loved his better half
dearly. but was unfortunately more
lavish in love than money.
Starting one day on a long bus
ness trip. he left Mrs. J. short OF
money, but promised TO send her a
check. which, needless TO say, did
not arrive. When the rent became
due his wife telegrRphed:
"Stone broke. Landlord in the
house. Wire the money"
Mr.. J. answered:
Am short myself. Will soon
send check. A thousand kisses"
Exasperated, she wired back:
Don't bother about money. Gave
landlord one Of the kisses. He was
more than satisfied"

The Professional Eater.

Many striking customs of their
past are preserved by some Ameri-
can Indians and of these none Is
more interesting than a peculiar
practice yet followed by the Sioux
of the DEVILS lake reservation It
appears on competent authority
that from time immemorial these
Sioux have adhered to an etiquette
whereby it is the bounden duty of
the host to supply his guest with all
the food he may desire, and as a
rule the apportionment set before
the visiting Indian Is in excess Of
the capacity Of single man. on
the other hand, by the same GUS
tom, the guest is obliged to eat all
that is placed before him, or he
grossly insults his entertainer.
Now. 1t was found that this prac-
tice would cause hardship, but, in
stead Of dispensing with the Gus
tom, the Indian method Of reason
ing was applied, and what is known
as the professional eater was
brought to the front. While the
guest Is supposed TO eat all that Is
placed before him, IL serves the
same purpose IL his neighbor as
sists in devOuring the bountiful re-
past, the main object being to have
the plate clean when the meal shall
be finished.
In order to insure the fnai con-
sumption OF the allotted portion.
visiting Indians call upon these
professional caters. whose duty il
is TO sit beside them through a meal
and eat what the guest eats.
The professional eaters are never
looked upon I'm the light OF guests.
but more as travelling companions
with a particular duty to. perform.
1t is stated that one OF the profess
sional eaters was known to have
disposed of seven pounds OF beef at
a sitting.

s CENTS TO BE
APRIL MILK PRICE

Al. a meeting Of the Farmers and
Dairymen's Corporation, held in Parlors
A and B Of the Hotel dupont last night,
complaints Of the retail milk dealers
TO the State Food Administrator that
the price they have TO pay for
milk, eight cents a quart. Is too high
were considered, hut 1t was decided TO
continue this price for their milk for
the remainder Of April.
At the meeting. according to q state
ment made by Charles p. Dickey, presi-
dent Of the Dairymens Association, ana
John F. ONeal, it was shown to the
Food Administrator that it costs about
10 cents to produce a quart Of milk
The retail dealers had asked that
the producers bring down the price
to ! i-2 cents a quart. After the matter
was threshed out from all angles, the
members Of the Dairymens Association
voted to retain the price at 5 cents a
quart for the remainder Of April.
The Farmers and Dairymen's Cor
poration have set Saturday. April q, as
the time for the next meeting in the
Levy Court room in the county end OF
the City Building. At that time, 1t Is
likely that a price by which the re-
tailers will be guided in the future viii
be set.
