PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
BY David Cory.

Now let me see In the last story
The old peddier gave Puss Junior magic
scarf. aud then he went away. and the
little canary bird. who you remember
had just sung a song, showed Puss how
10 tie the magic scarf around his neck.
And. would you believe 1t, as soon as
that scarf was tied in a bowknot the
ends tapped just Ike wings and the
drst thing Puss knew he was flying
through the air. with the little canary
bird ST his side
Wen. by and by. they came to a wood /;
so they perched in a tree. and this WASH {
hard FOR Puss, because you know cats
can climb trees even better than small
boys, but not so well as squirrels.
And while the little canary preened
Der feathers Puss undid his magic s. raj
and put Il in his pocket. for he had
enough Of dying for a while. And Just
as he was going to slide down 10 the
ground he heard a great grunting at the
foot OF the tree. and there stood IN i'm
mense Wild pig. And. oh. dear me- he
was herce-looking old pig His bristles
stood up on end like bayonets in a regl-
ment OF soldiers
Look here. Nfr. Wild Pig" said lit
tie Puss Junior Il don't want to slide
down on your back, so please get out Of
my say"
This wood belongs to me-" said the
Wild Pig with n disagreeable grunt.
II YOU come down III bite you"
oh. very we'll answered Puss. and
then he tied his magic scarf around his
neck and he and the little canary bird
flew on. and by and by they came TO Il
little village. and the first house they
saw had an empty bird cage hanging
from the front porch. And sitting on the
steps was a little girl crying bittrely.
"Oh. dear; oh. dear! Ny little bird
has flown away" And then what do you
think happened? Why, that little canary
bird who was with Puss few into the
cage and began to sing:
BE glad. he glad. and dry your eyes,
For I am back again.
could not stay away for long,
Nor could ! sing my old weet song,
For home Is here, and so I'll stay
And sing to you the llvelong day"
Wasn't that a nice thing for the little
girl 10 hear? And you may be sure she
dried her eyes and danced about with
very JOY. and after that she turned to
Puss and united his magic scarf and
folded 1t up in neat little package ana
put 1t in his pocket And pretty soon
Puss felt very much at home and began
to purr
And l guess the little girl thought that
the canary bird had brought her a pussy
cat, for she turned TO her and said
Where did you find this lovely cat with
boots of red and a feathered hat?" And
the little canary bird replied:
I saw him travelling from town to town,
When a peddler dressed in a suit OF
brown
Gave him a wonderful magic scarf,
And I'll tell you more but you mustn't
laugh.
And the scarf made pair of wings for
him,
And he few DER the treetops leafy brim
Till both OF us reached this home of
mine
And the dear old porch with the pink
rose vine.
And next time I'll tell you some more
about little Puss Juuior.--Copyright 1920.

WHO is LAYING DOWN" ON THE

Not over two months ago the great

ing with wild shrieks that the reason
the cost of living was so high was be.
cause labor was laying down" on the
job.
Wasn't that the bunk?
Does subsequent events show that
labor slowed up?
Results DO show that labor pro-
duced too much IL anything, and the
fact that warehouses are erammed to
the limit with manufactured goods is
proof that labor earned all il was
paid, and must now suffer while the
bosses are on a strike.
Who is laying down on the job
now? Who refuses to produce, and
who is still keeping prices mp?
Who lied when they said labor was
responsible for high costs2 II labor
was responsible for the high cost OF
living last summer. then why in heck
doesn't the cost of living decline nov?
Labor produced more than could be
consumed; the boss has stopped hol-
lering increased production" the
producers are idle; prices are STILL
high, and the worker, with cold

United States fought neither for de-

Harding, whom the people just elected
to the presidency of the United
States. in his Armistice Day speech at
Brownsville, Tex.
The workers of America have long
been asking if, after all, the war was
fought for democracy and humanity,
or whether they were duped when
they were told that during the prog
ress of the war
Senator Harding has answered the
question from the republican stand

HOW TO GAIN SKILL
BV H. AddingtOn Bruce

DRACTlCE, of course, is indispensable to
gaining skill in anything, from playing
the piano to excelling in golf. One must
keep everlaStingly at it until the required
any noteworthy measure of skill results.
But practice alone is not enough.
There are innumerabIe pianiSts who prac-
tice day after day, yet remain bunglerS. And
numerous is the army of golfers conspicuous
as dubs or Semi-dubS, despite a veritable mar
tyrdom of practice.
No; something is necessary over and above
repetition of effort. That something is sue
cinctly stated by the psycho-physoog
George V. N. Dearborn, when he remarks:
an order to gain in faculty nearest to orig
nality, to become clever, Skilful, expert, and
dexterouS, one must put his soul into his work.
And the ground of ones soul is not thought
but feeling, and will as we'll"
Also:
"When person has feeling of satisfaction
or of delight in his work, then he does it
well when of ennui and repugnance, he does
it i'll. When creative work is pleasant to the
worker there is progress, when unpleasant re-
greSS."
And further, to quote w. F. Books concise
summary of his conclusions from a long ex-
perimental research in the development of
skill in the use of typewriting machine:
at is not what the learner would like to
do, but what his mental and physical cOndl-
ton at the time of study or practice will let
him do, that is important for determining his
progress"
All of which is another way of saying that
the person who would gain in skill must, be-
sides practicing faithfully, keep his atteution
fixed on what he is doing, be enthusiastic
about what he is doing, and take care to keep
in good physical shape SO that it will be easy
for him to hold his attention fixed and to be
an enthusiast
This last proviso too many students COM
pletely ignore.
They act as though mind and body were
separate entities. Trying sedulouSly to Guilt
vate their mental powers they let their bodies
take care of themSelvS
Instead of exercising daily, they exercise
scarcely at all. They undereat or they bolt
their meals so that they can get back to their
studies They work too long and in rooms
faulty in point both of ventilation and of
light.
Naturally their health is none too good.
Naturally they frequently experience feelings
of malaSe, organic discomfort. Naturally
they find little joy either in life as whole
or in their work as a particular.
And naturally, no matter how faithfully they
practice on piano, typewrting machine. or
whatever it may be, they are far more likely
to break down than to become paragonS OF
skill.
Which explains why skill of a really high
order is rarity in the world today.
Too few people take the trouble to learn
how to live Yet learning how to live is in
truth prerequisite to learning anything else
in high degree of attainment

BABEL AND NINEVAH
ARE DISAPPEARING

When the ancient kingdom Of the
Assyrians fell through effeminacv
and negligence 800 years after the
Trojan war many petty states arose
out of its ruins, two of which raised
themselves to a high degree of
power.
The kings of Media subdued the
mountain land of Persia and estab-
lished relations Of amity with hordes
that wandered on the eastern side
of the Caspian sea; they conquered
also a portion of the empire which
had conferred in Nineveh. At the
same time the king of Babel, or
Babylon, flourished with still greater
magnificence and power
In Babylon, ancient seat Of learn
ing and science, Nabopolassar, after
a long period Of anarchy and d.
vision, erected most powerful mon
archy, whose sceptre acknowledgements,
his son, extended from the Caucasus
mountains, where he defeated the
Iberians, to the sandy deserts Of
Lydia. He burnt Jerusalem, defeated
Ammon, Moab and Edom, conquered
Tyre, the richest city of the Phoe-
niiciains; laid waste Egypt and d,a form n
adorned Babylon, the city of his
residence, with the noblest works of
architecture, but of this city the ruins
are scarcely discernible. 1t is still
of Nineveh, which lay three days
Journey from it, and whose ruins have
sunk in the marshy soil.-Detroit
