short time the little blackies were good
mousers.
Mrs. Tiger did not mind catching
mice for herself, but her kittens she
kept spick and spar and let them drink
all the milk the mistress poured in the
saucer every day.
But alas for Mrs. Tiger! One morn
ing she came with her family to the
door for her %children's breakfast and
the door was closed, and in spite of all
the me-ow-ing she made and the three
kittens as we'll, the door remained
closed all day. The family had gone
away for the summer and there was
no milk to be had.
want my breakfast" walled the
three white kittens.
"You will have to catch mice" said
Mrs. Tiger Puss sadly, but the three
white kittens only walled louder, I'VE
want our saucer of milk"
There are those three good-for-
nothing Kittens" said some n look
ing wei the fence at the crying kit
tens. "They never catch a mouse, but
just sit all day and wash their faces.
Those black kittens were smart and
they were all taken by the neighbors,
but nobody wanted the white ones,
though they are so handsome"
Poor Mrs. Tiger Puss meowed pitt
fully. She was afraid her children
would starve, but they didn't, for when
they were hungry enough to work they
followed their mother to the barn and
soon became good mousers, and when
the family returned in the fall they
were so grown up they did not know
them.
''This has taught me a lesson" said
Mrs. Tiger Puss. "The next family L
have to bring up shall be taught to
hunt as soon as they can run. Mrs.
Black Puss was right. Beauty does
count for much unless the kittens
are clever enough to get their own hy-
ing, and nowadays a poor puss can
never tell when she will be without a
home, no matter how nice the family
have been in the winter about feeding

mo, my kittens shall not be brought
up to work. They have plenty of milk
and our mistress thinks they are the
prettiest kittens she ever saw, so why
should they soil their white fur going

Better let them learn to hunt while
they are young" said Mrs. Black Puss,
who was passing with her family. "You

 Parliamentary rules now in force would prevent roll call vote .n any of the amendments.
 A full attendance was on the floor as the debate began on amendments.
 Representative Garner of Texas, opened for the democrats, arguing that the only loophole in the Garner plan was an .absurd" estimate that in 1927 it would work deficit in the treasury
 He insisted such a deficit could not oe figured accurately so far in ad- vance and asserted that Joseph Mccoy, government actuary has told him the democratic plan would raise s100.000,000 more revenue in 1924 than the Mellon plan.
 Frear Stands Pat.
 Representative Frear, republican insurgent of Wisconsin. stirred up considerable applause from the demo- cratic side by his jabs at the repub- licans for demands which he said they made upon him to stand by the Mellon rates as matter of party principle.
 You can't jam this Mellon plan down my throat" he said, adding that the republican leaders were among the first to throw aside the Mellon rates.
 Mir. Frear argued that his own plan would give greater relief to the larger number of taxpayers and announced again he would seek a gift tax and increased inheritance tax.
 Attacking both tho Frear and Garner plans, Representative Mills of New York. a republican members of tho ways and means committee. and an advocate of the Mellon proposals declared adoption of the democratic rate would result in q deficit of $500. 100000 a year, once it was in full effect.

Senator Harrison in the senate to- day defended William G. McAdoo's connection with the Doheny interests and Senator Moses, republican, New Hampshire, asked what legal services he could have rendered which are worth retainer of s25,o0o and yet arc not known to anyone"
 T know his connection with the Morse case was considered hardly pro- fessional," continued Senator Moses, and the fees disproportionate unless the factor of possible political infiu- cncc was considered"
 Senator Glass, democrat Virginia, joined in the defense of Mir. McAdoo.
 We are to gather then" rejoined Senator Moses, that he was certain his connection was legal and ethical so he resigned it."
 Assistant Secretary Roosevelt is just as guilty as Secretary DenI. ' Senator Harrison declared. "Onc can not aspire to the office of governor of New York, and lead his friends to be- licve he occupies a responsible part in operating the navy-one cannot carry executive orders around and somehow fail to include vital state ments in opposition to that order without assuming full responsibility.
 If Denby should get out; Roose- welt must get out. The country de- sires earnestly that the government be purged of everyone having a connec- tion with the oil leases"
