Ten Million RubLes for o. Cat.

~OMEWHAT different from the time of Catherine
the Great, who rode through Russia past villages,
- veritable movie set-ups constructed over night
along her line of march to prove that all her subjects
were prosperous and happy folk in coy homes and
living on the fat of the land
The fat has gone from those lands-even the cats
Famine years have eaten them and now, following
other bghts, plague of rats and mice. Entire
provinces behold their piteous stores of grain ravaged
by vermn Cats cost ten million rubes apiece and their
kittens five.
That's where some of money should be spent;
some of the money Poncare is using to fill the gap be-
tween the twenty-eght thousand tons of coal his
bayonets mined and the hundred and fifty
thousand tons delivered by German picks in equal
number of DAYS.

talked in oh, such sad tones.
One Of them was plump and
blue-eyed and there were little
fluffs and curls over her ears.
and her hands were just a bit
tired. You could just see those
hands buttoning little shoes and
hunting up little school books and
lifting the cover of the cookie jar
You could hear her babies calling
her "Mumsy" or something sweet

a Real Mother from the top of
her last years hat to the tips of
her square-toed boots.
The other was slender and

clipped quite charmingly, but she
was all Mother, as well. And
her eyes were very sOft-and wor-

Would Cancel
War Debts

Editor OF The Washington Times:
Editorials in your paper seem
to convey the idea that every
thing should be done to try to
prevent further wars.
The present trouble between
France and Germany seems to be
that Germany was in default in
payment of q war debt.
If the neutral nations would get
together" in conference for the
purpose of prevention Of wars.
and If the Liberty bond holders
would sanction the plan, think
it would be wise to put the value
of human lives above money. and
the nations thus in conference
should decide to cancel all war
debts between nations.
This would enable the nations
who were down and out" to get
back ION their feet" and would
prevent the recurrence Of another
world war.
What good American would not
be willing to loose the money value
of his Liberty bonds If he thought
he could save the liveNof probably
millions of people?

HASTINGS, Neb. -" Worlds
Oldest Cat Dies in Mon
IA tana."
So ran q headline in a Has
tings newspaper. Whereat Has
tings arose en- masse to make
denial.
Thomas Patriarch, twenty-four
Montana oldest cat, was a mere
infant compared with Hastings
Yellow Tom.
Yellow Tom is old enough to
be the father-possibly the grand
dad-of the Montana Patriarch.
Yellow Tom was tapping milk
four years before Thomas Patriarch
poked his nose from the maternal
couch.
The Yellow fellow is at least
twenty eight. He came to Has
tings twenty-four years ago with
Luther Fuller and became a per
manent attache of the Fuller
restaurant. Fuller is authority
for the report that Yellow Tom
was four years old or more be-
fore making his debut here.
When Fuller sold his cafe and
retired as a restaurateur Yellow
Tom refused to move his quar-
tiers. He stuck by the garbage
can he had defended against all
corners for more than a quarter
of a century, and is still right on
the job.
Although shy one eye and the
points of both ears, Yellow Tom
is still vigorous and the terror
of all stray dogs and feline males
who would invade his garbage
can domain.
The old fellow Is said never to
have Haunted the white flag to
either tomcat or dog. But
He once made the mistake OF
invading the precincts of his own
very young progeny. Whereat
his erstWhile bride sailed forth
with much wrath, ripped out an
eye and the large part of an ear
and carried the trophies to her
offsprings. Yellow Tom there
after took Kipling's word for it
about the female of the species,
giving a wide berth and due
respect to all young motherhood
of the cat world.

boys-not a bit.
George is thirteen. His mother
isn't a real mother at all. At
least she hasn't acted like a real
mother, no matter what her heart
is like.
So the neighbors complained
and officers came and took her
into court and George went along
to sort of help her and take care
of his three little sisters.
And the judge was very grave
and very stern and he couldn't
see anything for it but to take
the children away and do some
thing with the mother.

Honor, and she has done better
for a while. And now If you
please, will you let us go home.

This is what the boy said as
he stood so sturdy and eager be-
fore the bar of justice.
Ana the judge wasn't stern at
all when he'd finished and he
blew his nose pr-rer-mp! two or
three times and something seemed
to have got into his eyes. And
he called George a manly chap
and made him the legal man of
the house on the spot.
