PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
BY David Cory.
HAPPIER CCCLVIII.


Well. after Puss had said farewell TO
all the fairies he marched quickly down
the forest path, for It was growing late
and the shadows were creeping from tree
to tree, and by and by he saw a light
in the distance 1t was very little
light, not much larger than star, ana
at first Puss didn't know whether II
might be a giant freely or n little candle
in the window of some poor woodcuuter's
hut
However, he kept on. and after a while
he came to a little cottage. SO he knocked
on the door and presently it was opened
by strange looking man. He had long
hairy ears, like a donkey, and was
dressed in the skins Of wild animals.
welcome, Sir Puss," he said, in
kindly voice, 81 am just preparing my
evening meal Come in and eat" So
Puss followed the donkey cared man into
the cottage and sat down at the rude
wooden table on which were spread black
bread and beans.
81 have but humble fare to offer you
said the donkey cared man, but his smile
was a kind one, as he helped Puss to
the beans, with a large wooden spoon
But as I see you are a traveller you no
doubt have Jared worse at times" and
he smiled again in such n friendly way
that little Puss Junior took a great Xix
ing to him.
''Yes. I have heard Of you" said the
donkey-eared man, "even before my ears
we're changed into those Of donkey"
And then he sighed and looked quite
mournful, for Of course he didn't like to
wear donkey ears, and neither would l,
and neither would you, I am sure.
as there no magic charm which will
remove them 2" asked Puss, as he finished
the last bean on his plate and wiped his
whiskers carefully with the silk pocket.
handkerchief which his kind father had
given him on leaving the castle Of my
Lord Of Carabas.
None whatever" answered the man,
with a sigh. "There is no charm nor
magic herb. but I have heard tell OF a
Magic Axe that cut down a charmed oak
tree that overshadowed a kings palace
But where to find that Magic Axe l
know not"
Well, when Puss heard that he jumped
up and went behind the door where he
had hung his knapsack. and in less tina
than I can take TO tell it he took out the
Magic Axe-with which. you remember
he had cut down that very oak tree some
umpty- 1even stories ago-and laid it on
the table in front of the donkey cared
man. And before he could speak a little
bird in a cage that hung on the wall
began to sing:
"Oh, master dear, pray ask this cat
Your donkey ears to sever;
For then your own two ears will grow

ALICE BRADY HAS IMMIGRANT ROLE

Frederick and Fanny Hatton wrote

Illinois Crop Being Contracted at ST
Bushel,

Illinois Crop Being Contracted at 81
Bushel,
A Kansas City grain man writing
to an Abilene dealer says:
New crop wheat Is being con-
tracted at 81 bushel on the farms
in Illinois, and you can buy here at
Kansas City any amount of No.
hard wheat to be delivered next July
at around $1.20. Actual spot No. 2
hard wheat Is selling here off the
sample tables today at $3.50 to 1852
or 30 to 80 cents higher than you
can get for the same wheat to be de-
livered 8 or 8 weeks from today.
"Now, we would like to see the
Kansas farmer get the benefit Of the
present price obtaining for cash wheat
as he needs the money, and like
merchants in other lines, has not
made any money or has possibly lost
money during the last six months.
Half q loaf is better than no bread
and we must meet conditions as they
exist. It is much better to sell cash
wheat now around $3.50 Kansas City
than to hold it till July and sell it
with the new crop at around $1.2O or
very much less. Thirty
cents a bushel saving Is good deal
Of money and would mean 100000
900 to $12,00O,00O to the state of
Kansas"
