PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
By David CORY.

But oh, dear me! I'm getting away
ahead Of my story, for I forgot to say
that after the holes were all made Puss
went back to bed and the next morning
the noble Duke begged him to stay and
make visit. so Puss did, and he had
lots Of fun creeping through tho holes
with the little man Of the wood.
Wen, one evening" as the little fellow
was creeping through the castle from
one hole 10 another, he came into the
room Of the Duchess. New, the Duchess
had little baby boy about a month old,
and just as the little man of the wood
came into the room the baby rolled on
the bed on TO the soft rug and lay there,
while the mother slept quietly on.
And the little man OF the wood. hay
ing never seen a baby before, thought It
was one Of his own people, little dwarf,
you know-picked 1t up In his arms and
carried It away to his little palsce. And
in the next story you shall hear what
happened after that.-Copyrigh 1920.

nouncing it would not vote for friends
of labor in the two major parties" but
would support candidates of the Ameri-
can Labor party.
The unions reconstruction committee at
the weekly meeting made public a letter
to Mr.. Gompers which read in part:
We have scrutiniZed carefully the
records OF all the republicans and demo-
Gratis who are active In the political life
of this community and we find none wFro
can be truthfully called a friend OF labor
The fnanciers OF this city who put up
the expenses of the two major parties are
sufficiently shrewd and competent to get
what they have bought and paid for"
The letter sets forth complaints of rent
profteering and of bills in the New
York Legislature backed by visionlese and
enormously wealthy employing interests
which seek to rob trade unionists Of rights
won by many years of struggle and sac.
rifice."
The fight of organized labor in this
State. thanks to its trust in so-caled re-
publican and democratic friends has mar
rowed down to thin struggle for self

AUSTRIAN SMOKERS
USE LEAVES AND GRASS


Vienna, March Is. by the Associated
Press)-Tobacco smokers of this city jocu-
larly declare that the great Vienna for
est Is being gradually smoked up in Gig
arettes. This is intended as a satire on
the quality of material used in the man
ufacture Of Austrian cigarettes.
Tobacco products are government
monopoly and regulated in quantity OF
issue. The allowance to each Individual
is very small equal possibly to six Gig
arettes day. Smuggling is so much in
practice. however. that 1t is only neces-
sary to pass the word in the right quar-
ter to obtain cigarettes in quantity. One
thousand recently purchased by The AS
ISOLATED Press Correspondent were of fair
quality as tobacco COOS In Austria and
probably consisted of not more than two
thirds leaves and grasses. But the price
was equal to first-class American ciga-
rettes such as usually are served in clubs,
