w HEN Puss in Boots avoks
n/ the next morning he was
Wv surprised At first TO md
himself at the old farm
house, but you needn't be surprised
to hear where he was, for in the
last story we left him just where

self he ran downstairs and out into
the barnyard and there he found
the farmer already up and feeding
the chickens. And the FIRST thing
he said to Puss was:
Cackle. csckIe, my black hen.
She's laid an egg outside the PEN
She has a new nest somewhere
just now,
Perhaps it's up in the big hay
NOW.
Perhaps Ii is" said Puss, and be
ran up the ladder in the barn to
the loft which was full Of hay. And
by and by he came across the black
hens nest, and il had eleven white
eggs in it. too. So Puss put them
in his hat and climbed down as
carefully as he could and handed
them to the fanner.
But you should have heard the
black hen cackle. She was as mad
as mad could be, for she was go
ing to hatch those eggs into pretty,
little yellow chickens, OF, maybe,
they would have been little black
chicks.
That's too bad" said Puss. Let's
put the eggs bsck?"
And the kind-hearted farmer sid
all right, so our little kindhearted
Puss Junior placed them in the nest
pleased that she crowed almost
like a rooster.
This woke up the farmers daugh-
ter. so rosy and fair and pretty.
Soon she came downstairs and ran
out TO pick some daffydowndilIies
And then breakfast was ready. and
after that Puss said good-by and
continued his journey through New
Mother Goose Land.
Well, after he had walked for
many miles he came TO a wood
where he sat down to cat the lunch
which the farmers wife had put up
for him. And then he fell asleep
and had a lovely dream.
And he dreamed about all the
pleasant comrades who had travelled
with him: his good. gray horse:
little Tom Thumb. the circus clown,
Goosey Goosey Gander, and some
others whom I forgot for a mo-
ment. But perhaps you will remem-
bcr them without my aid. And
while he was dreaming, who should
walk up but his good, gray steed-
And when he saw his little master
fast asleep he stood very still so
as not to wake him.
And then he tiptoed of a little
way to eat some tender grass until
Puss should open his eyes. And I
guess maybe he would have slep:
all the afternoon If the gray horse
hadn't seen wolf sneaking
through the trees, when he neighed
and ran up to his small master.
And Puss woke up with a start
and pulled out his sword. Keep IL
in your hand. little master" said
the horse, "for you may need it any
minute!' And in the next story
you shall hear whether Puss has
use for his sword or not.

NUT TREES FOR THE HIGHWAY
In Many Respects They Are More Suitable Than the Varieties
 Which Bear Fruit.

When 1t was suggested that fruit trees be planted along the sides of American roadways, as IS the custom in some parts of Europe, good many people must have had their doubts about the feasibility of the plan in a country where a considerable portion of the population has still to learn carefully to respect public rights and property, especially when the rights are unfamiliar and the property Is of a kind that nobody is under a special and salaried-obligation to protect.
 Another and probably more hopeful proposal is to plant, not fruit trees, but nut trees, as highway ornaments and possible sources of profit. Many of our native nut trees are far more beautiful to the eye than fruit trees ever are, and they are as much su- perior, too, as providers of shade. They are much better able than fruit trees to take care of themselves, because their flowers are inconspicuous. Their product is a valuable one,- and it's fairly equitable distribution every year could safely be left to the chill dren of any given neighborhood.
 One of New York's eminent phy- sicians, Dr. Robert T. Morris, has been preaching for years and years the val ue of nut trees. He even goes so far as to insist that, if humanity had turn ed to these trees instead of to the cereals for its main source of vegetable food-starch and oil-it could have been fed better than now and at much less expenditure of labor Whether Doctor Morris is right or wrong in that large claim, there is no doubt that our country roads would be made pleasanter for all who use them if they were turned into majestic avenues bordered by such trees as hickories, beeches, chestnuts, oaks and a dozen other nucifers. .-- -~-,-s s.-

OF GREAT BENEFIT TO ALL
important Service Rendered to Con1-
 munity by the Planting of Road ~ side Fruit Trees.

Newspapers of the country render important service to a great cause when they call editorial attention to the misuse of the average roadside and plead for practical and esthetic handling of the opportunity Each township in America has in this land an opportunity for the establishment of an arboretum of rare and beautiful trees and shrubs for the benefit Of every passer by. Artistic treatment of even the most unsightly roadside, not to speak of portions capable of pie turesque handling, would work trans formation in any township and set an example for all the farms and home steads in the region. The trimming away of unsightly decay, the covering of bare spots, the cleaning up of mos quito-haunted pools would be but the beginning of the good work. The set ting out of ornamental trees and shrubs might easily bring directly to the roadside superb specimens of all our native growths, together with many fine exotics, all carefully marked (where doubtfuD with both popular and scientific names, as in the finest arboretum in the land. @4a

have considered a treat; but as the 1 fanatic orator continued the mono logue, a gentleman in fannels emerged l upward from one of the excavations | and regarded him contemplatively.
 Obtaining any relief, nephew?" he inquired with some interest. "You must have learned quite a number O1 those expressions in childhood-it's SC long since I'd heard them I fancied they were obsolete"
 "Who wouldn't swear?" George de handed hotly. What does grandfa. ther mean, doing such things?'
 My private opinion is,'' said Am, person grave1y, "he desires to increase his income by building these houses to rent"
 'Well, in the name of heaven, can't he increase his income any other way but this?'
 "In the name of heaven, it would ap- pear he couldn't
 "It's beastly! It's a damn degrada- | tion It's crime!" 'I don't know about it's being a crime" said his uncle, stepping over some blanks to join him. Tt might be mistake, though. Your mother said not to tell you until we got home, so as not to spoil commencement for you She rather feared you'd be upset" Upset! Oh, my Lord, should think would be upset! He's in his second childhood"
 "Well, I thought, myself, it was a mistake. wanted him to put up an apartment building instead of these houses.''
 "An apartment building! Here?"
 'Yes; that was my idea"
 George struck his hands together de spairing1y. "An apartment house! Oh my Lord! !'
 Don't wOrry! Your grandfather wouldn't listen to me- but he'll wish he had, some day. He sticks it out that apartment houses will never do in a town of this type, and when I pointed out to him that dozen or so of 'em already are doing, he claimed it was just the novelty, and that they'd all be empty as soon as people got used to 'em. So he's putting up these houses '
 "Is he getting miserly in his old age?"
 Hardly! Look what he gave Syd- ney and Amelia '"
 "I don't mean he's a miser, of course." said George. "But why on earth didn't he sell something or other rather than do a thing like this?"
 "As a matter of fact" Anderson re- turned coolly, "I believe he has sold something or other, from time to time."
 q suppose you're joking-or trying to!"
 ''That's the best way to look at it,
The Connecticut labor press., 1919-10-25

Anderson said amiably. ''Take the whole thing as a joke-and in the meantime, if you haven't had your breakfast"
 ''I haven't!"
 "Then If were you I'd go in and get some. And"-paused. becoming seri- ous- "and if I were you I wouldn't say anything to your grandfather about this"
 ''I don't think could trust myself to speak to him about it," said George. ''I want to treat him respectfully, be cause he is my grandfather, but I don't believe could if talked to him about such thing as this ]"
 And with gesture of despair, plain ly signffying that all too soon after leaving bright college years behind him he had entered into the full tragedy of life, George aurned bitterly upon his heel and went into the house for his breakfast.
 His uncle, with his head WhimsicalIy upon one side, gazed after him not al- together unsympathetically. Being a philosopher he was not surprised, that afternoon, in the, course of a drive he took in the old carriage with the Ma jOr, when George was encountered upon the highway flashing along in his runabout with Lucy beside him and Pendennis doing better than three minutes.
 ''He seems to have recovered" Am person remarked.
 "I beg your pardon"
 "Your grandson" Anderson ex- plained. "He was inclined to melan- choly this morning, but seemed jolly enough just now when they passed us."
 What was he melancholy about? Not getting remorseful about all the money he's spent at college, was heT' The Major chuckled feebly, but with sufficient grimness. 'I wonder what querulously.
 "Gold," his son suggested, adding gently, "and he's right about part of you, father"
 What part?'
 "Your heart"
 The Major laughed ruefully. 'T sup pose that may account for how heavy it feels, sometimes, nowadays. This town seems to be rolling right over that old heart you mentioned, George rolling over it and buryfng 1t under When think of those devilish work men digging up my lawn, yelling around my house."
 "Never mind, father. Don't think of 1t. When things are a nuisance it's 8 good idea not to keep remembering 'em."
 T try not to-" the old gentleman murmured. 'I try to keep remember ing that I won't be remembering any thing very long," And, somehow con- vinced that this thought was a mirth- full one, he laughed loudly and slapped his knee. ''Not so very long now, my boy!' he chuckled, continuing to echo his own amusement Mot SO very long. Not so very 1ong!"
