Man in the Moon, the cheese wasn't as
good as this" said Puss

We'll, suppose there are no tauors

I've never met any," replied Mr..
Crusoe with a laugh. I've never met
anybody so far except goats and kids,
parrots and monkeys, ducks and brakes,
snakes and lizards"
Nv here did you get SnOozer and Caro-
mel and Caroline 2" asked puss.
They came off the ship with me when
it was wrecked" said Mr.. Crusoe. THAT
is, I brought them of the next day when
went out on the raft to the wreck. And
they've been with me ever since"
"oh, by the way" Puss Junior sud
IDENTIFY exclaimed, "Is Friday here7"
"oh, yes cried Tom Thumb. Where
is Friday2"
Mr.. Crusos got UP and walked over to
n tall pole and looked over carefully the
notches cut into the wood Let me
think he said. To-day is Thursday.
Yes, that's right; Friday will be here to-
morrow"
You've made a mistake Mr.. Crusoe, &"
said Puss with a laugh.

I'm very anxious to see him." said
Tom Thumb.

BY this time 1t was quite dark. so Mr..
CrusOe lighted some very nice home

there in the cave. They gave a very soft
light. The waves on the beach murmured
gently, and pretty soon Snoozer was
snoring and CarOmel and Caroline were
fast asleep on an old sack in a corner.
Let us turn in," said Mr.. Crusoe,
showing 'Puss and Tom a very comfOrta-

two books he named were the Bible and

It is estimated that more homes in

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Are women
unmindful of the four-power pact which

its women's organizations on this sub
ject through its bulletin.
Under the heading, "Will the treaties
be ratifed?" the last number puts the
case for the women as follows:
"All Of us are watching the Senate
to see if it will nullify the work Of the
conference or finish what has been begun
so well. Present indications are the
treaties will ain be ratified.
1.-THE American people want the con-
ference TO succeed. A reservation inter
preting the four-power pact Is likely at
this writing. The one proposed by SEN

the pact puts us under no legal or moral
obligation to maintain the right of the
powers concerned. and the consent Of
