About the Cat.

Poets have not been very kind to
the cat. The feline hasn't been apos.
trophized to any great extent-in truth
We have never seen in print an ode to
the nocturnal singers that infest the
back yard and make q concert stage
Of the back fence. The cat has at.
tracted some attention, but instead of
applause his singing has been 70.
ceived with bootjacks, can-openers and
stove wood. But the cat teaches man
4 most important lesson. Toss him a.
high as you will, kick him as far az
you may, the cat always lands upon his
feet. You may give him such Vhirl'
ing motion that he'll execute a dozen
revolutions in the circumambient, you
may shove him from the sill Of a
third-story window or shoot him tail
foremost from a cannon, but the cat
will always land straight on his feet.
Consider, then, oh man, the ways Of
the cat. He fears not the precipice, he
accepts the fall or kick, If fall or kick
must come, without tremor Of fear.
His mind Is not upon the heights from
which no falls nor upon the number OF
circles he must complete in midair,
but upon the landing place. And he al
ways lands upon his feet. Happy are
ye, If ye learn the lesson OF the cat

"Has Mr.. Wright gope?" I asked


"Ayes! Land o. mercy! He went
away long before daylight with a lot
o. jcrked meat in pnck basket
ayes! Yer uncle IL goin' down to the
village to see bout the mortgage this
afternoon, ayes!
Il was a Saturday and I spent it,
hours cording wood In the shed, paus.

my grammar. -.
What a day 1t was!-the first Of
many like 1t. I never think Of those
days without saying to myself: "What
q Gods blessing man like Silas
Wright can be in the community in
which his heart and soul are as an
open book!"
As the evening came on I took a
long look at my cords. The shed was
nearly half full Of them. Four rules
Of syntax,. also, had been carefully
stored away in my brain. said
them over as I hurried down into the
pasture with old Shep and brought in
the cows. l got through milking just
as Uncle Peabody came. saw with
Joy that his face was cheerful.
"Yip" he shouted Us he stopped his
team at the barn door, where Aunt
Deel and l were standing. 1--WE amt
got much to worry about now. I've
got the interest money right here in
my pocket"
We unhitched and went in to sup

would speak Of my work but she
seemed not to think of it.
went out on the porch and stood
looking down with a sad countenance.
Aunt Deel followed me.
"W'y, Bart" she exclaimed, "you're
too tired to eat-ayes! Be We sick"
shook my head.
peabody" she called, "this boy has
worked like q beaver every minute
since you left-ayes he has! I never
see anything to beat it-never! I
want you to come right out into the
wood-shed an see what he's done
this minute-ayes"

"w'y Of all things!" my uncle ex-
claimed. "He's worked like a mailer.

he took my hapd in his rough palm
and squeezed it and said:

arms an kisabye just as I used to.

I repeated the rules had learned

I'm goin' to be like Silas Wright If
I can" I added.
That's the idee!" said Uncle Pea
body. "You keep on as you've start.
ed an everybody'll milk into your
pail"
I kept on-not with the vlsor Of
that first day with its new inspiration
but with growing strength and ehec-
tiveness. Nights and mornings and
Saturdays I worked with q will and
my book in my pocket or at the side
Of the field and was, know, a help
of some value on the farm. Ny schol.

Invent about as far as could hope

Corners.
II wouldn't wonder IL OIL Kate was
right about our boy" said Aunt Deel
one day when she saw me with my
book n the field.
I began to know than that Of Kate
had somehow been at work in my
soul-subconsciously as I would now
put It, was trying to put truth
into the prophecy. As I look at the
whole matter these days can see
that Mr.. Grimshaw himself was
help no less important to me, for it
was a sharp spur with which he con-
tinusd to prod US.

Man and the Birds.

In order to have muscles powerful
enough to lift his weight in the air by
Tapping wings, . mans breastbone
would have to develop keel like .
birds and his collarbone would have
to be changed to . giant "wishbone."
Some writer on aviation has calcu.
lated that this keel and "wishbone''
would have to project at least six feet
in order to furnish attachments for
the necessary muscles. For man, in
proportion to his size, 10 far heavier
than an albatross. This bird has
small and very light legs, whereas
mans legs are solid and heavy. The
albatross' long wing bones are hollow
tubes.

1926 Per Gent Loss
In Operating Income
On Rails in March
Neio York Tribune
WushinUtOn Buren1l

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Figures
obtained from railroad sources here to-
day show that:
Traffic declined very sharply in
March, the freight traffic falling 23.2
per cent below year ago, as compared
with 1876 per cent decline in Feb
ruary and 10 per cent gain in Janu-
ary. Operating revenues for March
were S376,345,0OO, gain of 90 per
cent over last year, while the expenses
rose 222 per cent to S346, 100000, leav-
ing net revenues of 29,574,OOO, loss
Of $50 per cent. This left a net op-
Grating income, after taxes and minor
deductions, of s1o,924,O00, loss of 1926
per cent.
The Eastern roads failed in March
to earn any net operating income. They
had g deficit of $1,283,00 The South
ern roads earned $4,489, 900 and the
Western earnings we're $7,719,OO0
These earnings will be less when ad-
justments of back wages are made for
recent wage increases granted the
trainmen's brotherhoods. These re-
cent increases are adding about
$5,500,000 a month to operating ex-
penses.
Comparison of operating results can
be made for the first quarter of 1919,
with the average for the same months
in the three-year test period before the
