Last Sunday afternoon Mr.. Thomas

insurance was carried. One horse and

OUR CAT.

Animals always seem inclined to
adopt us. Why this is so is not evil
dent as we are conscious of no tender
yearnings toward animals, wild or
tame.
A bull dog which we once owned
reduced US to penury through his in
sane desire to devour hens, young
cats and children, and his appetite
for the tearing of expensive trousers.
The period of ownership of that dog
forever Weaned US from an interest
in animals.
However the other evening small
and extremely ill-favored cat moved
in on Us, out at camp, and elected to
stay.
The creature was unwelcome from
the start.
We have not, for some time, been
looking for any additional mouths to
feed. To keep our own fangs en-
plOyed in mastication has been some
thing of a problem.
The little cat appeared at the back
door along toward evening complain
ing sadly of the treatment accorded
her during the few months of her life.
Her large round eyes and slender
body gave token that food and she
had been complete strangers for sew
eral days. There was a sandburr in
one paw and she presented a gener-
ally demoralized appearance.
A saucer of milk met with her en-
tire approval.

Where she spent the night nobody
knows maybe under the house or out
in the shed.
The next day she was on hand again
demanding rations and it occurred to
us that she had mistaken our place
for some wayside hostelry where one
may board regularly.
1t seemed best to ignore her to the
end that she might be the sooner on
her way. Every time door was
opened she slid in and hung anxiously
around the pantry. Each time she was
put out she walled and waited.
The next we heard of her she was
on the roof after, we imagined, un-
wary birds. In a few moments there
was scuttling, a yowling and tumb-
ling and the cat appeared in the fire
place.
She found a hole in the front porch
and came in there and twice came in
with a basket of washing.
When we had about given up hope
of getting rid of her we saw her for
lornly perched on sign in our back
yard which has upon it Private Prop
erty-Keep Out" She was a most
crest-fallen and detected cat.
That night she left us and has not
been seen since. If it is fact that
she took the hint from the sign then
surely she is a wise cat and we have
greatly underestimated her acumen.
At least she is gone and whoever
now has her is welcome, SO far as we

If the world IS to be made safe for
the man with the small income it will
be necessary to put on the brakes. No
man should be extravagant for the
mere sake of spending his money. It
is bad example to set before those
who can III afford it. The nation
might hang out several stop signs:
Stop! Look! Listen!
Stop l0afng on the job.
Stop personal extravaganza.
Stop official and national excesses
Stop waste in the kitchen and at
the table.
Stop combinations for controlling
or raising prices.
Stop middlemen's profits exceeding
Is per cent.
Stop strikes for shorter hours or
recognition of union.
Stop picketing against men who
are anxious to work.
Stop nonessential exports until
home markets are supplied.
Stop displaying goods unless both
cost and selling prices are plainly
marked.
Stop margin trading or dealing in
futures on the nations foodstuffs.
Stop corporations which seek tC

SOME MIX-UP!

1t wasn't Missouri editor but
printers devil who was going through
his first experience on making up"
forms. The paper was late and the
boy get the galleys mixed. The first
part Of the obituary notice of pe.a-
Nous citizen had been dumped in the
forms and the next handful Of type
came off of a galley describing a re-
cent fire. 1t read like this: "The pail
bearers lowered the body to the grave
and as it was consigned to the flames
there were few if any regrets 9or the
old wreck had been an eyesore to the
town for years. Of course there was
individual loss, but that was fully
covered by insurance" The widow
thinks the editor wrote the obituary
that way, because the lamented part
ner of her joys and sorrows owed him

YOUR FORCES AND HOW TO USE
THEM.

Prentice milford was born in 1885
and lived until 1901, most Of his ac-
tivity being as a New York newspa.
per man.
His philosophy is simple version of
Emerson as applied to material sue
cess bodily health and the general
conduct of life-a widely advertised
correspondence school of salesman
ship having taken its basis from the
thought Of Prentice Milford.
His writings are for the most part
in five small volumes under the gen
eral title, Your Forces and How to
Use Them" and from which the fol-
lowing epigrams were derived:
Thoughts are things.
When you think you are at work.
Evil of any kind is but temporary,
Peaceful thoughts are a construc.
tive force.
A prayer is desire expressed or
unexpressed
Poverty comes largely from fear
of assuming responsibility.
New thoughts and ideas bring new
strength to both mind and body.
Good will is the stronger force and
will overcome the force of i'll will
Expect nothing but health and
strength--let them be your day
dreams.
Our bodies decay and lose vigor by
thinking the same old set of thoughts.
Quarreling, angry argument and
grumbling put out silent destructive
force.
Every discordant thought towards
others is sword and brings out a
sword In return.
Every impatient thought or act, |
no matter how small, costs us an I'm.
profitable outlay of force.
Your thoughts act on others for or
against you.
The thought or success in an hon,
est plan of business brings an unseen
aiding force to you
When you fear misfortune (Which
usually never happens) your body
becomes weak and your energies be-
come paralyzed.
We are as members of society all
of one body; if one of that body is
diseased OF mind or body or be in
poverty all must in way suffer.
