MADE DOG CARRY KITTENS
Mother Cat Had No compunetion at
All in Making Friend Do
All the Work.

An English lady, says contributor
to the Cornhill Magazine, having re-
ceived kitten and puppy as gifts,
determined to bring them up together
She put them into the same bed, fed
them from the same saucer, and they
became fast friends.
In time the kitten arrived at matron-
hood. She presented the world with
little ones and chose for their nursery
Il remote and quiet room in the house.
But in few days she evidently de-
cided that there was better place
for them in q room on the floor above.
Instead of removing the kittens her
self, she trotted off to her friend the
dog and got him to follow her to the
spot where the kittens were lying.
When he had looked at them she
started off to the upper room, and he
followed her; but. seeing that he was
SO to -"empty-handed," she
doubled back and returned to the kit
tens; and eventually, after two or
three more false starts, he understood
ner and. picking up one of the kittens
in his mouth, followed her up the
stairs to the new place. That was as
far as his understanding went and
she had to conduct him back to the
other kittens and repeat the whole
performance again and again until in
the end he had removed them all, and
she was happy in her new quarters.
But it was not the ideal spot after
all she was happy there only for
day. Again she summoned the dog,
and he moved all the kittens again,
but more readily than at first. Again
the cat became dissatisfied, and the
Cog moved the kittens again. From
first to last there were so many re-
movals that the lady lost count Of
their number.

Bold South American Thieves.

Two ingenious thieves, finding the
streets of Buenos Ayres, Argentine,
too we'll policed for daylight holdups,
recently succeeded in using police
headquarters for one OF their opera
tons. Accusing middle-aged man OF
prosperous appearance, they showed
him detectives badges and announced
he must accompany them to headquar-
ters and there explain how he came
bS the gold watch and other valuables
he carried. To avoid scene the man
accompanied them. They took him to
an unused room at headquarters and
relieved him of everything of value.
Then indicating door of a room

SUDDEN CHANGE OF OPINION

after nearly every story told:

stories.

one of the most charming workers In

would all be glad to hear her speak"
Dismayed, Mrs. managed to
get on her feet, and addressed the
guests thusly:

The hard coal strike has been set
tied. But coal-bins are still empty.

Next Monday is election day in
Maine. Both parties express conf
dence in the result, but it seems ap-
parent that the democrats claims
are mostly in the nature of 'whistling
to keep up their courage" Maine is
not going democratic this year The
most the democrats can really hope
is for greatly reduced republican
pluralities due to republican apathy.
But the republicans are not
apathetic. The women are taking
their new privilege of voting very
seriously, and they have greatly
swelled the normal republican ma
jority in Maine. Local contests for
county office also play an important
part in getting out the vote, so that,
while in this off year the republicans
do not expect anything like the
record breaking majorities of two
years ago, they feel sure of sending
out stimulating message to the re-
publicaps of the nation next Monday
night.

Organized labor is disturbed by
the injunction order obtained by the
government against the striking rail-
being made throughout the country
on the question of a general strike
as retaliatory measure. Organized
labor has itself to blame for the
present situation. The right to
strike, the right not to work for a
given wage. cannot be denied any
man. but at the same time no man
he wishes, and in attempting to pre-
vent men working, organized labor
has committed murder, destroyed
property and defied the law. When
men disobey the law, they must be
restrained hence the Injunction
We believe in organized labor, and
recognize the good it has done and
can yet do for labor collectively, but
the labor organizations have been
unfortunate in their leadership, and
war wages and war conditions have
made them drunk with power and
prosperity. Measuring wages by dol
lars and cents rather than by pur-
chasing power, labor refuses to sub
nit to a readjustment in keeping
with the decline in living costs. The
labor organizations, by their present
attitude and recent acts, are forcing
the issue of the open shop. and at the
same time alligning the public
against themselves.
