HEN AND KITTEN cHUMMY
Really Remarkable Case Of Friend
ship That Is Vouched for by
Woman Writer.

The strangest friendship that the
writer has ever seen was that OF
young Plymouth Rock hen and white
kitten.
When the kitten was about two
months old she was very fond Of be-
ing around in the chicken park, or
wherever the chickens were. She was
the friendliest kitten alive and showed
a disposition to chum with every liv-
ing thing. But the chickens paid no
attention to her except to get out of
her way. The hen In question, how
ever, met her advances kindly and
they soon became boon companions.
Many times a day they were to be
seen walking together around the
place. The hen would frequently stand
still while kittie would rub back and
forth against her breast. And while
Biddy scratched for bugs and worms
the little white kitten was never far
away. We do not know what was
their means Of communication. but
they evidently had satisfying one.
for they never seemed to tire of each
other. They associated together to
the exclusion of the other fowls and
cats on the place. One seldom saw
Biddy with the other chickens, and
little white kitten absolutely deserted
her little white twin. We sometimes
wondered if the kitten thought she
was chicken or the hen believed her
self to be a cat. At all events, they
were most congenial.
This state of affairs continued until
the sale of the farm necessitated their
being parted. Mabel j. Mcnwane, In
Our Dumb Animals

AbsolutIsm.

Absolutism, as practiced by a
Catherine or q Napoleon. on an i'm
penal scale, may dazzle the mag
nation. 1t is a system which has
corresponded, historically, to we'll
defined stage in popular advance
toward self-government- But as soon
as even an imperfect form of consu-
tuition has been established, the
defects Of absolutism appear colossal
by contrast. Above all, when Abso-
lutssm In It's decadenee holds small
state, It loses that appearance OF con-
centrated power which is one OF It's
chief justifcations, and looks petty
and mean. It seems to be actuHted
by fear, not by strength.-From Life
and Times OF Cavour.s by w. L.
Thayer.

The ladies were discussing the ever
important question when one of them
brought the problem to a head. What
enables the merchant to charge these
unheard OF prices, she asked
'Tll tell you. It's demand. There

eggs, for instance. The demand keeps
pace with prices. There is no let mp

Right then and there the career of
the food profiteer in Nebraska received
a death blow.

scented the buying power of the state.
They created the demand Thy could
