DICK KITTEN AND THE BOX.

OF all of Mrs Tabbie's children, Dick
was the most trouble-not that he was
really bad kitten.
The trouble with Dick Kitten was this:
He wanted to investigate.
Dick could not pass anything that
had cover on without poking at it with
his nose, and if he could not get the cover
off, down went his head into the box or
pail to see what was in it.
The pantry had to he guarded when
Dick Kitten was around, for many
plate and saucer had he broken knocking
them off to see what bowl or cup held.
Not that he was not punished tor
these wrongdoings; he was, both by the
cook and Mrs. Table who e|ways boxed
his ears soundly after cook had driven
him from the pantry with her broom
"You will some day get your nose
caught in something" said his mother
one day; ''some day you will poke INTO
the wrong place and be sorry for 1t.
One day when Dick Kitten was out OF
the house and the cook was going out she
left the door open that led from the
kitchen up the backstalrs.

Polish History Not Known.

The history of Poland is probably
unknown to almost everyone in Amer
ica.' AS we shall be called upon to
arbitrate the destiny of such peoples
as the Ukrainians we ought to know
who they are and what they aspire to.
1t may surprise some to know that
they are really Poles. They them
selves call the educated part of their
people Poles, while the iiliterate pride
themselves on being Ukrainians.
Russia, east of the VOlga, is occu-
pied by race of nomads who are for
ever seeking to encroach upon their
neighbors, while the Poles are stable
in their habits. In former times the
King of Poland was forbidden by the
constitution to send any soldier four
miles beyond the frontier. Poland
originally extended from the Baltic to
the Black sea; from Riga to Odessa.
We must reinstate her.

Latin books taught us. Mr.. Simonds
sees no end of German tyranny until
she is licked out of her boots,
and mere boasting that we are doing
it will not bring it about Mr. Simonds
rather leans to the theory that Gen.
eral Foch with his unprecedented re-
sources in great armies and fighting
material, with the initiative Of Amer
lea, and the youth of our men, are
telling factors in this thing of destroy
ing Germany.
The American idea of destroying
Germany has not yet taken the deep
hold upon the convictions and con-
sciences Of our people, but it is grow
ing. So dastardly has been the proc
esses of German kultur in conducting
the war that resentful world is rap
idly springing on the throat of sell
fish, defiant nation and literally tear
ing it to pieces, or trying to. That
it will succeed most people believe.

OCTOBER DAYS.

Without doubt the loveliest month
of the year is October. 1t is sort
of balance between spring and winter
temperatures May in the autumn.
The temperature of this month in our
latitude gives us the first tang of in
creasing cold-not too much, but a
crispness and a freshness like an in
MIGRATING tonic. There is no doubt
of the uplifting effect of the seasons
first snappy mornings. The early riser,
especially, breathes into his lungs
sort of inspiriting medicine that lasts
through the day, and the air bears on
it's wings balsamic soothing like the
inhalation of a healing balm. Then
the tree leaves are turning now, that
strange, mystic beauty that slowly un-
fields itself and that comes from the
invisible studio of nature when the
landscape is colOred DER with the plas-
tic art of the Great Master that make
all things beautiful. Who knows or
can fathom this profound mystery of
October glories!
Certainly all of the charm of crea-
ton must have been leveled at Octo-
Der when the Creator fashioned the
months. Who can fail to love these
marvellous adOrnments that spread
themselves through the
woods, in gardens, along fOOtpaths,
everywhere, splashing and riOting be-
fore mans vision?
What a wonderful world, with Octo-
Der lending all of it's exudations OF
beauty to make us stop and admire
and love and adore in one breath these
munificent, priceless gifts of the fan
tasy month of the year,
