Col. Roosevelt has been out in Mon
tana campaigning and has been met
with immense crowds and his sledge
hammer blows have left mighty good
impression in that state. The colonel
is intensely patriotic, had four sons
in active service and the only reason
he was not in the service himself is
because somebody in Washington was
jealous and refused to send him over
seas. Anyway Col. Roosevelt said
something that was not compliment
airy to the leaders of the non-partisan
league, and our leading league paper
at Fargo Immediately comes out and
says the colonel doesn't know what
he is talking about. After being
slapped by so eminent an authority
as the editor of the Fargo paper, the
colonel should hurry back to Oyster
Bay and bury himself in seclusion
from this time on.

There is an aspect of spider and fly

server has brought the microscope to
bear on many house flies and finds that
the parasite upon that hateful insect
is often an immature spider. Too
weak yet to spin it's web it makes the

REAL AMERICAN LOVE STORY
Mildred Confesses to Her Sister
= That She Refused Arthur's
Offer of Marriage.

Mrs. Higgins looked at him sp
provingly She liked and admired
this young man.
Il assure you we are always glaC
to see you here, NJ. Bruce" she
said.
Why must be Mr.. Bruce tC
you?' he objected. When I was q
kid you called me Arthur How
have forfeited q right to such ia.
miliarity?" ...--.
The widow flushed as girl
might have done. "Oh. have seen
, you so seldom since you were grow
that l did not want to be. too Ia
miliar with YOU" she explained.
But ] will be glad TO 7all you Mr..
Arthur If you would like me to-"
A few minutes later he took his
departure. BY the time the sound
OF his footsteps had died away Mrs.
Higgins spoke her mind.
"Thst is one OF the most courtIy
and graceful young men ! have ever
known. I am glad you girls have
such a friend. He can always be
counted upon to do and say the
right thing" 80
She had too much delicacy TO put
into words what she was thinking.
namely, that he would make some
girl a good husband. and that she
hoped one of her charges would sp-
preciate this fact.
Instead. she went out into the
kitchen TO give Katie q final order.
then. returning. locked the front
door. put out the lights. and led the
way upstairs.
Mildred Apologies.
Mildred Brent's anger was seldom
of the enduring variety. She was
easily annoyed. but would not hold
her wrath long.
So she and her sister had not been
in their room more than FIVE
minutes before she made overtures
of peace.
"HonQra," she ventured. "if
was cross just now I am sorry.
But you did snub me-honestly-
and made me feel very cheap when
you. reminded me that 1 was re-
peating a remark that ! had per-
petrated already"
Il did not mean to snub you.
dear. so let's forget all about it,"
Honora returned. We were both
q little cross. I fancy"
at was rather awkward, that
question that Mrs. higgins asked.
Mildred observed later. II mean
her question as to whether we had
had a pleasant evening"
Honora was brushing her hair
before her dressing table. and now
turned quickly. the brush poised in
midair.
why" she asked abruptly.
Because" Mildred replied sit so
happens that Arthur proposed to
me this evening"
The brush fell to the floor. Hon
ora stopped to pick II up.
And you" she began, then
stopped.
"Oh." Mildred said with a yawn,
''I as good as told him I could not
marry any man unless he did some-
thing 10 make him worth while.

PUSS~IN BOOTS
JUNIOR
BY DAVID OORRY.

Y , GU remember IN the last story
" 1Puss was. ins. the, rickshaw,
drawn by a great big i'm
mepse> stork. on the way to
NAgasaRi. and that he had fallen
asleep when the little wind from
the blue ocean began to sing:
The big white stork with his long,
thin legs,
Is dragging the rickshaw over
the sand.
And the little queer boats that sail
Are rocking and rolling and nod
ding to me,
And strange aowers bloom on the
green hilly land,
And the little birds sing from the
sweet orange tree"
Here we are" cried the stork,
and he stopped suddenly. and Puss
awoke and rubbed his eyes. Here
we are m Nagasaki." So Pusss sat
UP and looked about him. People
were running to and fro. and there
were colored lanterns everywhere.
For it was just the time Of early
evening. yon know. ~
The little japanese children had
long strings of lanterns swinging
between long poles, and some OF the
lanterns looked like butterflies, pink
as pink could be, and others were
green and looked like dragons.
1T is the Feast of Lanterns, said
the great stork. Are you hungry"
Yes, said Puss- So, the stork
brought him some raw fish and
bamboo shoots and seaweed jelly.
And the stork ate some rice and
white beans. And after that they
watched the people. and when mid
night came the ,stork took Fuss
down to the beach, where thous- :
ands of little toy boats filled with
nice things to eat. and lit up by
lanterns, were sent floating out to .
sea. And when all the boats, 1
mean all but one, were launched,
and the people had all gone away.
the storlx said: would you like
to go for a sail? one little boat Is
mine"
'wiu you go with me?' asked
Puss.
certainly. answered the stork-
So he and Puss left the rlcksnaW ?
on the sand and got into the boat
which was full OF nice things 10
eat. and then. away they sailed
Away from Nagasaki in Japan out
on the ocean wide and blue.
when he woke up in the morning
there was no land anywhere. only
the blue water. and all the pretty
lanterns had burned out, all except
one in the bow of the little boat.
II looked Just like the morning
star. Puss thought as he rubbed
his eyes and looked over to where
the stork stood on one leg with
his head under his wing, fast
asleep.
Well. as soon as Puss had blown
out the little lantern. Tor he
thought 1t might be useful when
right came again. he ate some per-
simmons and two oranges, and then
he woke up the stork. who ! guess
was very tired from pulling the
rickshaw so far the day before.
And then. all OF sudden. black
cloud came by and it began to rain.
So the stork opened a japanese
parasoI. and in the next story you
shall hear what happened after
that.

Voltaire. the literary autocrat OF
the eighteenth century, was one OF
