Puss in Boots
Jr.
By David Cory.

NoU remember where we LEFT OF
in the last story, I hope. Puss
had just made the DickOry
Dare Pig get off the roof Of the
Yellow Hens front piazza, after
which the gayIy feathered Rooster
and the yellow Hen and Puss Junior
went to sleep, which they couldn't
do before on account of that jreal-
full pig snoring.
Well, he never came back, for he
was so afraid OF Puss Juniors
sword, that he kept on running un-
til he lost his shadow, he ran so
fast. and after that he thought he'd
sit down and rest.
The next morning, bright and
early just as the sun was waking
up in the East, the Gayly feathered
Rooster began to blow on his silver
horn to wake the people before the
morn, and some got cross when they
heard his song, but others hurried
their dressing along, and pretty
soon Puss was dressed and the lit
tie Yellow Hen combed her feathers
and came down to breakfast. And
Roster came in and said:
There was an old woman. a. I've
heard tell,
Who went to merket her eggs to
sell
Assshe went 10 market her eggs to
sell
On the asphalt pavement she slipped
and fell.
Then came d policeman whose name
was Stout,
When he saw ali the eggs lying
strewn about
He said: What Is JHis, river OF
eggs?
Too bad, my old woman, YOU slipped
on your legs"
Then he helped the I'tIe old woman
TO stand.
And placing a new dollar. bill in her
hand,
He said. Ny old woman, don't
scramble your eggs
On the pavement again by losing
your legs"
III never let her take any OF
my eggs, to market" said the Yel-
low Hen, and the Rooster tapped
his wings and crowed. he was %
glad And after that Puss Junior
said boodby and went upon his
journey, and by and by he came
a forest. Now, this forest was full
OF bold robbers, but Puss didn {
know that, so he walked in, and by
and by he came 10 a little hut
From the chimney q thin gray
feather Of smoke slowly made it's
way up through the tall treetops
and around the front door climbed
4 wild vine. Puss went up boldly
and knocked, and when the door
opened he saw fox. At first he
was somewhat frightened, but the
fox said, ''Come in. Sir Cat so ouI
little traveller entered and sal
down.
Then the fox asked him where ht
was going. To see my dear father

but the way is dangerous. Manl

Japanese Rushing
Warships to China

TOXIC, June II (By The Associated
Press).-Advices received here from
China show there has been serious
spread of anti-Japanese agitation, es-
pecially in Shanghai, Hankow, Marking
and Canton, with indications that it
may develop into general anti-foreign
movement.
Several warships of the Japanese
China squadron have been hurried to
Shanghai Shipping at Chinese ports
has virtually ceased owing to a bow
colt, resulting in great monetary losses
to steamship companies and exporters.
The anti-Japanese agitation began
when the question of Japan taking over
Germany's claims to Kiao-chau and
the right to exploit the Shantung
Peninsula were before the peace con-
ference, and were given impetus by
the conference decision favorable to
Japan. The agitation has apparently
grown steadily since.
