THE TALE OF A CAT

Ezra Weed of the vigilantes, acting
for a brief moment as Uncle Sam,
shoots this along:
When l was young and sporty, land 1
sin't SO old, at that!)
I caught q little animal no bigger than
cat.
I reconed | could tame him and raise
him for q pet,
So took him home and fed him, and
Icalled him La Follette,--
That's French for foolish, playful,
mischievous,-to be plain,
A kind of village cut-up that's always
raisin' Cain.
A pretty little TELLER, with his perky
pompadour;
You ought to see him preen himself
and strut across the floor.
We pampered him and stroked him
and praised him to his face,
Till l guess he got to thinkin' he was
owner of the place.
But laws! you couldn't tame him no
more than you could tame
A whirl Of flying road-dirt that goes
the way it came.
He didn't have to scratch. He didn't
have to bulge.
The Lord gave him q unique way of
payin' off q grudge.
He'd hide behind the bushes and wait
for you to pass,
Then cover half the township with his
German poison gas
And so l had to lose him. But there
wasn't no regret
When back to the tall. timber went
Mr.. La Follette,-
The late but not lamented. And all
the folks agreed
ellis native wilds can have him if
that is what they need"

President Asks For Sabbath Observance

Observance of the Sabbath by all
men in military and naval service,
was directed by President Wilson in
a statement issued recently at the
White House. All Sunday labor, he
asked, should be reduced to measures
of strict necessity.
The President, commander-in-chief
of the army and navy" said the
statement, following the reverent ex-
ample Of his predecessors, desires and
enj,ins the orderly observance of the
Sabbath by the officers and men in
the military and naval service of the
United States. The Importance for
man and beast for the prescribed
weekly rest, the sacred rights of
Christian soldiers and sailors, n be-
coming Difference to the best sentiment
of u Christian people and u due re-
gard for the Divine will, demand that
Sunday labor in the army and navy
be reduced to the measure of strictest
necessity.
Such an observance of Sunday Is
dictated by the best tradition of our
people and by the convictions of all
who look to Divine Providence for
guidance and protection, and in re-
peating in this order the language Of
President Lincoln, the President is
confident that he is speaking alike to
the hearts and to the conscience Of
those under his authority"
