he swan i'm close to the shore and
asked Puss to take q ride on his
back.
And. would you believe It. Puss
did. Yes, sir. He jumped right on
that great water horses back and
rode away, over the water and
through the spray, and he wasn't
the least bit afraid, although he
didn't have any water wings with
him and he might have slipped or
into the water.
where are We going?" Puss
asked, after a while, for by this
time they were far away from the
shore and going Up the river, you

Nov, lift Up your head said the
big sea horse. and when Puss
looked around he saw they were in
a beautiful cave And all around
were strange people. mefmaids and
water nyTnphs, water sprites and
mermen. fishes and. dolphins. and
even a whale, although he wasn't

entrance to the cave was just large
enough to let him squeeze through.
Well, as soon as they saw the big
seahorse. they all said at once:

they all crowded around and looked
curiously at Puss, and one little
mermaid pinehed his toe, but Il
didn't hurt, for Puss had on his red

This Is the son OF the famous
Puss in Boots" said the great white
seahorse. 81 have brought him to
our cave to show him the wonders

the whale blew a stream OF water
into the air, and the dolphins turned
somersaults, and the little mer-
maid who had just pinched Puss

And the giant crab stretches out

And the swordfish chases the sharp

But here we are safe when it's

And the pale white moon looks
down from her sky.
And the little star winks his golden
eye
And when she finished, she swan
up close to Puss and lifted him
down and placed him in a great big

him out and told him to walk along

ADVICE TO THE
LOVELORN
A Brutal Husband
DEAR MSS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Ny letter Is different from.those
you answer every day. have
been married four years. have no 3
children, and have been abused
every day OF that time. My hus-
band is one Of those men who
keep up appearances, even though
his. wife starveS- He is the most
jealous person have ever known
He can't bear my leaving the
house for amy reason at all yet I
never remember his getting home
before midnight. He is in the
draft and expects to leave for
camp very soon. He beats me
every day, because he Is afraid I
may keep company with other
men while he is away, although
since my marriage I have not as
much as spoken to another man.
You may think It strange that
he can be so Jealous. when I was
only a child when we were mar
ried. and am only twenty now,
He will not insure himself for me,
or send me one bit OF allotment,
and still 1 love him. L. o. T..
It is beyond understanding how
you can love a man who has treated
you so brutally. and II you wish to
putSup with treatment Of this kind
there is nothing to advise. He is
obliged to give you an allotment,
and I should advise your talking
your case over with some lawyer or
the Legal Aid Society. No woman
is Obliged to stand daily beatings,
and you would do well to consult
your priest or minister il you have
no friends in whose discretion you
can trust
No man entirely sane acts as You
describe your husband. Your health
and life may be seriously. in danger.
should advise you to act immedi-
ately.

may be we'll for the housekeeper
who is in search OF novelty lin her

dishes found in the other woman's
home.
Having undergone all kinds of

adapted them to her religious laws
and circumstances.
Moses, that wise law giver, was
also a great hygienist. To the OBJ
server unacquainted with the Jew
ish law, the Kosher" butcher is
somewhat of a mystery. He butch
ers according to the commandment
set forth in Leyiticus:
For the life OF the flesh is the
blood; no soul shall eat blood. For
thou mayst not eat the life with
the flesh" ....
The Jewish woInan'S conception
OF the sancity of the home is in
deed impressive. and 1t is usually
with the idea OF being able, some
day, 20 provide a better home for
his family that the Jewish man
works inhumanly hard. Perhaps
the poor Jewish home may not look
clean to the casual observer. The
windows may be neglected, the fur
nitUrc may be dusty, but when it
comes to something that really
matters. like cooking, the Jewish
housewife is painfully clean.
In fact, such a high ideal of
cleanliness in every cooking process
has the Jewish housewife that in
many homes where a servant or
two can be we'll afforded one finds
the mistress OF the home doing her
own cooking, because she cannot
find a servant sufficiently Cleanly
and accomplished in Jewish cook
ing to satisfy her standards.
One Jewish housewife who hon
ored me by an invitation to her
home gave me a few of her choice
recipes. The cookbook. OF her own
making, showed many signs OF
usage 1t contained recipes in sew
craI languages, some hand written,
some printed. Most all OF her re-
cipes had been clipped or copied
from Eandmothers' or great

 kuhl was the second man sentenc- d to be executed by shooting for mur- Ter, in accordance with the Nevada avs. The first was Andrlje Mircovich executed in 1913. The machine for ,hooting consists of three iron clamps n which are fastened three rifles. One )f the rifles contains a blank cart idge, so that one of the three guards delegated as executioner will be ino- ,ent of taking fellow beings life.
 The rifles are automatically aimed tt a designated spot fixed as result If measurements taken of the man to )e executed. A paper heart is pinned )n the prisoners breast just over the ,eart. He is blindfolded, or not, ac- ,ording to his desire, Mirovich refus- d to be blindfolded.
 Searcy had regular mail stage route between Rogerson, Idaho, and Jarbridge, Nevada. He failed to bring he stage up at the Jarbridge post office on the evening of December D 9l6, after stormy day.
 About II o'clock that night the stage was found in clump of willows Searcy, propped up on the seat, was lead. Two slashed parcel-post sacks we're on the ground and brass-lock- d mail pouch, containing the reglst- red mail from Rogerson, was miss ing.

Postal inspectors turned over eviden- e to District Attorney F.. P. CaNille of Elko county.
 Kuhl's trial began in September, 1917, and lasted three weeks. William McGrew, Ed. Beck and B. E. Jennings were arrested as accomplices, but Jennings was discharged after a pre- liminary examination. Beck's trial, be- gan after the Kuhl verdict was rend- cred. Beck was found guilty and sem fenced to life imprisonment. McGrew's case was dismissed on account of ip-
