said Come, let US hasten, for I have
keen appetite, and you. no doubt, are
in need Of nOurishment, also"
So Puss jumped up and followed the
Gnome, willing enough, for he had had
nothing to eat since breakfast. At the
farther end of the room, which Puss
had but dimly seen up to this moment,
was an inclined plane. very much indeed
like the shoots at Coney Island. The
Gnome at once seated himself and told
Puss to sit beside him. Now hold
tight, and hold your breath, and hold
your tongue; In fact, hold everythin &
you've got" cried the Gnome, for we
are going to take a swift shoot to the
bottom of the mountain, and you'll find
out what the word swift means II you
never have before :" And IN another mo-
ment It seemed to Puss that they were
travelling as fast as a bullet from a gun.
After a while a little light appeared in
I he distance, and gradually Puss saw that
they were now on a level, although still
going at a tremendous rate Of speed. BY
and by they shot through the little round
hole Of light, which turned out to be the
opening at the other end. and Puss and
the Gnome landed on a big. soft bunker

flowers sent forth a delicious perfume.
and a ripping brook close at hand ran
over the pebbly bottom Of its bed.

over to drink some of the cool water {:

story just as the funny Gnomeland Band
commenced to play. Well. the big drum
went bum, bum, bum diddle dum! and
pranced Around on a pair Of short, fat
legs In red stockings and pointed red
shoes A pair of fat, little arms beat
the drugsticks on the top of his head,
or what appeared to be the top Of his
head, but which really was a funny face,
which winked and bIinked as the drum
sticks beat upon It.
"Tooti Toot!" went the big yellow
horn as its long, thin fingers pressed in
the brass stops. Over the floor It
skipped, after the round, fat drum.
The cello and the violin came next.
The latter ran his bow across his strin ged
waistcOat IN perfect time, while the
former twanged the strings that covered
his happy face in a jolly fashion. The
rest Of the band played on themselves
beautifully, and the Gnome with his
baton, proved a most capable leader. In
fact the music was so delightful and in
spring, that finally Puss could restrain
himself no longer, and, jumping up. be-

"Heigh-ho hey diddle-do.

Just then the music stopped, or rather
the Musical Instruments paused TO take
breath, and Puss sat down again, won

few minutes the round. fat drum began
beating, Left, right, left. right" and
the Knomeland Band marched slowly
down the long cavern until it was out Of
sight.

New York State College OF Agriculture
probably the first settler who planted
a wheat field in America sowed some
seeds OF chess with 1t and the practice
still continues. Some farmers believed
that wheat changed into chess as It grew,
but 1t is needless to say that such a
miracle never happened. The two plants
are not even closely related, but belong
to quite different tribes in the grass
family and each comes true from Its own
seed"
