This Day in History.

THIS is the anniversary of the crossing Of the Potomac in
1868 by General Lee with 10000 men. Advancing
northward, he was forced to fight July and at
Gettysburg where he met crushing defeat at the hands
of General Meade. On the day Grant took Nicks-
burg and the Confederacy received its death blow.

Puss in Boots
Jr.
By David Cory.

w lot and Puss Junior arrived
at the castle OF Briers. And
then. all of a sudden. through an
open window they heard a sweet
voice singing:
The hare he loves the high wood.
The hare ne loves the sill:
The Knight ne loves his bright
sword,
The Lady loves her will"
There is much truth in what she
sings" quoth Sir Launcelot But at
that time he did not know OF what
assistance the lady would be TO
them both later on.
Now. as they entered the great
courtyard there was much merrI-
ment among the noble lords and
ladies on seeing Sir Launcelots
small cOmrade.
And the lord OF the castle, who
was a wicked lord, sneered. trying
TO provoke a quarrel. But, seeing
that there were so many fair ladies
in the company. Sir Launcelot held
his temper and replied that Sir
Puss in Boots. Junior. was a
worthy comrade. IF we trespass
on the hospitality of nay lordIing
we will go our way" and Sir
Launcelot looked at the wicked lord
with much meaning i'm his eyes.
As they stood thus gazing at
each other, the lady OF the castle
spoke. 1t was she whom Sir
Launcelot and Puss Junior had
heard singing.
The knight he loves his bright
sword
The Lady loves her will"
she cried. turning To the wicked

After the evening mail, when il
was somewhat late. Sir L,auncelot
and Puss Junior were shown to
their room. But Puss lay awake,
for he had a strange feeling that
the wicked lord meant harm to Sir
LauncelOt. And when all was quiet,
he stole 10 the door and listened.
when all OF a sudden the key turned
softly and the wicked lord crcpt in.
And then PusS. who had hidden
behind the door. Sprang out and

Although a railway now con-

introduced no great change in the
customs of the natives and their
mode of living. The streets in the
newer quarters are fairly broad and

broad. are dirty and the houses di-

timated population of three hun
dred thousand, lies in a fertile plain

But that Smith-whom she had

Gsperating. She had mentally re-
viewed his behavior repeatedly
during the night, and each time she
had been more offended. Offended

offended with Norah.
The girl was angling for Smith.
and Smith was probably flirting
with her. Norah was Il fool. Per-

Norah's mistress would warn the
girl that she must be more cir

So thoroughly does wounded pride

Desiree checked herself to ask This

had told her father that the idea
was UnthinkabIe. But was it?
She would almost rather believe
that Smith was flirting than that
he was falling in love with Norah.
She was sure they were not suited
to each other. And, somehow, Smith
was different.
Well. she could not discuss the

Of the bandits who held Aviators Pc

will remain in Mexico, unless orders
to the contrary are received from the
War department.
That an effort will be made later to
pay the remaining $500 ransom to
Jesus Renteria or his family, was in
dictated by Gen. Joseph 7. Dickman.
General Dickman took the position,
at the time Captain Matlack rescued
Lieut.. Paul III. Davis without payment
of the total ransom, that the United
States government is too great to go
back on its word, even to bandits He
stated that he feared Captain Mat

date, in case other Americans are cap
tured.

Washington, d. C.-Federal regula-
ton Of the packing industry, proposed
in the Kenyon and Kendrick bills now
on hearing before the senate agricul-
ture committee, found neither friends
nor advocates in the long list Of wit
nesses who aired their views during
the past week. Though those testify
ing came from points all the way be-
tween Missouri and Georgia, and
their occupations ran the gamut from
farmer, through feeders, stockers, re-
tail butchers and dealers in produce,
and while their opinions as to the
reasons and responsibility of high cost
of living were diverse and occasion
ally most forcefully put, the packers,
all insisted, should be left alone. In
reference with them, the tenor Of the
statements ran, would be dangerous
to the consumer and everybody else.

Washington, d. C.-Active control
of sugar prices has been resumed by
the government, through an agreement
reached between the department of
Justice and the food administration
that licenses will be revoked by the
latter when it is shown dealers have
been profiteering.
Sugar should reach the consumer at
approximately IL cents pound, it was
announced.
"Our desire is to secure fair price
for the consumer said Attorney Cen
erals Palmer in announcing resumption
of sugar control, land we do not wish
to pursue a 'wholesale policy of recon-
mending the cancellation of licenses.
Where trade adjusts itself to a fair
price for the future, past transactions,
unless fragrant, will not ordinarily be

provisions to include clothing, con-
tanners Of food, feed or fertilizers,
fuel oil and implements used in pro-
duction of necessities, and to penalize

years Imprisonment.
Proposals to make the act apply to
profiteering in house and room rents,
adopted by the house in committee of
the whole, were stricken out in the
final vote. =

cans and democrats to have the amends
ment's provisions cover necessities
other than those included in the
amendment as reported by the agricul-
tural committees. Inclusion of kero-
sene and gasoline was proposed by
Representative Strong, republican,
Kansas, who said the prices of these
products had increased 300 per cent
in the last two years, but his amend
ment was rejected by close vote,
while that of Representative Newton,
republican, Minnesota, to include raw
cotton, was eliminated on point of
order by Representative Blanton, DEM
0crat, Texas.
Attempts to bring farmers and
farm organizations within the juris-
diction Of the amendment also were
blocked.
