PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
By David Cory


The morning after the giant had told
Puss the story about the wonderful ma
gician Puss said good-by and continued
on his way. His beautiful black horse
had lost a shoe. so Puss left him with
the giant, for what did Puss care? Ea,
had his seven league boots, and they
were good enough to travel in, let me
tell you.
So on and on he went, until by-and-by
he came to a strengthening little house.
So he knocked at the door and pretty
soon It was opened. But you'd never
guess who stood there, not if gave you
until next Christmas.
1t was a big feather buster. What
do you wish, Sir Cat?" asked the feather
buster, with a low bow. But Puss was
so surprised that he could make no an
swer for a moment, and while he stood
there the Dish and Spoon who used to
live in Old Mother Goose Country leaned
over the Feather Busters shoulder and
said:
"Oh where is the cat and where is her
fiddle,
And where is the cow that went high
diddle diddle,
Over the meadow and over the moon,
While the dish ran after the runaway
spoOn?"
"You make me think Of dear Old
Mother Goose" said Puss.
But I have Travelled far today, viii
you not take me in and let me rest"
Come in and be welcome" said the
Feather Buster. and he waved his feather
plumes in quite q grand manner. So Puss
stepped inside the queer little house,
vr-ha of IN,
mouse sat curling her whiskers and wink
ing her eyes. for Puss coming IN was no
pleasant surprise.
There goes my typewriter making up
poetry aud not putting 1t into verse. Ism {
that shame?
Well, Puss sat down, and then from
the cupboard out hoped Mrs. Baking
Pan full of nice fresh dough, and as soon
as she jumped into the oven, Old Maid
Tea Kettle lighted the fire and began to
sing.
Mr.. Potato Washer hoped up and
down on the boiled potatoes and Miss
Cake Dish brought an armful Of frosted
cake, and, oh dear mel I can't begin to
think of all the other little people who
started to get supper ready. But let me
tell you. In a very few minutes they all
sat down and had q feast, and after that
tha little cricket on the hearth sang this
Song:
When the weather is cold and stormy
outside,
I sit by the fire and sing,
Ira Ia Ia Ia, ira Ii Ia Ia,
Just like a bird IN the spring
And every one knows that the wood fire
CLOVIS
Brighter because Of my song,
Crickerty, crick. creekery creek,
Happiness helps life along"
Well, after that, Puss curled himself
up on a chair and went fast asleep, whila
the little cricket kept watch all night
long to see that the little gray mouse
didn't eat all the frOsting off the cake.
and when Puss wakes up in the morning
III tell you what he did.-Copyright, 1921.

ever seen, Mrs. Cosby"
You dear country mouse" she replied
This is only a little impromptu party
and the prettiest thing about 1t is this

fond Of yOu-and I hope you will get a

on UTILITIES.

IN the conduct Of public utilities the
people have a direct and peculiar inter-
est. On orr water supply depends the
health Of the city: on the TRANSPORTATION
facilities the industrial and commercial
life to large part depend; the electric
light aud gas companies are essential
to our industrial and social being. In
the supervision and regulation of these
corporations the city has largely lost
its control.
Il have no desire to make a bid for
popularity by making any promise to re-
duce the rates or regulate the affairs OF
any Of these public service corporations

DISCUSSES SANITARY
WORK OF CITY.
1.-THE trouble with the collection Of
ashes and garbage with the repairs Of the
streets and with the general superyislon
Of the streets is not to be found IN the
fact that the work incident TO these ac-
tivities is done by the city direct The
same work has in part. at least been
done under the contract system, and the
latter proved SO unsatisfactory that the
change was made TO that Plan now in
vogue. In my opinion this plan should
be continued If under the municipal
plan the creation OF a political machine
becomes possible, | do not see how this
would be corrected under the contract
system. II the city administration should
use these men for political purposes. and
If these employees shoUld be paid out Of
the public treasury for their political
work. then a condition is presented that
can be easily remedied. The remedy is
to be found in prohibiting such. rrac-
tees 1t is not necessary to burn down
the house to roast a pig. There are
much easier and better ways.
SHOULD I be elected mayor, and
should I be spared to serve the four years
allotted to my term, I promise that the
people Of this city win be given OPP
portunity to judge from actual ex-
perience whether this work can be done
direct by the city as cheap and as
efficiently as It can be done by contract
No emplOye Of the city should DO re-
stricted in his political rights Each
should be permitted to exercise these
rights to his hearts desire There should
be no coercion Of any cmploye for his
political trend. But the taxpayers should
not pay for the time that is devoted to
the exercise Of this right"
