Madame Smoky Is
Hunbled

Madame Smoky walked very softly
across the room, stretched lazily, but
daintily, and spoke to her frien%, the
big orange colored cat. Madame Smoky
was cross with her friend, and there
fore she spoke very, very sweetly, as
she had way of doing. "Would you
mind not sitting in the sun? When
you sit there so that the sun shines on
you like that-well, really, it is too
much for my eyes
The orange cat ruffled up her fur.
She was really somewhat afraid of the
fine Persian cat, Madame Smoky, who
had been sent to her mistress for
Christmas, and down in her heart felt
quite beneath her, but she defended
herself by being short with Madame
Smoky, and pretending to think her very
silly. Il wish you'd stop making fun
of my color" she answered peevishly.
I'm sure l can't see what's wrong
with it.
"There's too much of it," leased Ma
dame Smoky. You look like a bill
board done in bright colOrs.'
The orange cOlored cat, Tuning, turn
ed her back and walked away. Ma
dame Smoky settled herself on the couch
by the window and soon dozed off peace.
ably.
She was awakened by a strange, chok-
ing sensation in her throat. She jump
ed to her feet and realized suddenly
that the room was full of smoke. She
gave cry of fear, which was echoed
by the orange colored cat, now awake
also. "Oh, the place is on fire. ~ shout
ed Madame Smoky, and began running
in circles around the room.
just then the door opened "N1y cats
My cats - cried the voice of their own
err Neither of the cats could see her,
and anyway they were crouched on
the floors, stiff with terror. "Oh,
see the orange one, but I'll never be
able to find the gray one in this smoke :"
Madame Smoky, very humbly, moved
over close to the orange co4ored cat.

HUGE WHEAT MERGER

Winnipeg, Man. A wheat pool
merger which contemplates the mar
keting of the entire wheat crop of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
by one cooperative organization, is

the wheat crop of these provinces
has, in the past, been marketed by
separate provincial pools.
Whether the merger will be effect

is uncertain, but those behind the
movement declare they will begin
wholesale cooperative marketing
operations at least by next year.
Canada has been a pioneer in adj

Reflections Of a
Bachelor Girl.
By HELEN ROWLAND

PERHAPS man wouldn't see so
many shocking things about the
modern girls clothes, If that wasn't
the kind that he always turns around
to stare at.
1t is awfuiiy hard for a bachelor TO
reconcile those queer little springtime
palpitations In his heart with his cyni-
cal views of love and his morbid deter
mination never to marry.
Alas. II woman could only be like
the circus-never to grow old or tire
some; always to be thrilling, dazzling
beautiful, with hundred fascinating
tricks that a man never wearies of ap-
plauding!
The funniest thing on earth Is to
hear bridegroom and a confirmed
bachelor solemnly enlightening each
other as to how to run a woman.
Every time woman asks a man Il
he loves her "as much as ever" 1t sort
Of makes him begin to doubt 1t.
Even a satyr could win a woman. II
he began telling her that his hoofs
needed "a tender woman's care" to
Keep them out of mischief.
The most fascinating married wom-
IN can always find at least one man |
o 90 about with, who won't make
owe to her-if she will try going about
With her own husband.
You can melt mans heart, as you
an melt iron, as long as the flame Is
here; but, once his love has cooled,
othing will melt it-but another
anne.
When woman's vanity and mans
1riosity lead them to a kiss-they
Indy call 1t "love."

TELEPHONE USERS SCHOOL

| The college of business administra
ton of Boston University is said t,
have introduced course on use OF
the telephone 1t hardly seems 8
subject that would require many
weeks of intensive study or call for
very difficult examinations. Yet il is
true that this very common modern
convenience is not always properly
used by patrons.
The first class is composed of the
employees of the Boston Consolidated
Gas company. The teacher is a men,
Der of the English department faculty
of the college. A psychology profess
sor might be equally successful with
the course.
The first points taught, according
to report, are patience at delays in
service and self-control when an ir.
ritated person is ON the other end of
the line. Proper use of the voice.
good enunciation and courtesy toward
other -would-be users of the line
might also be given Special en-
phasis.
1t is unfortunately true that all
OF these things seem to need teach
ing at the present time. How mucb
better 1t would be if general educa-
lon. In public schools, business or
technical schools and colleges re-
suited in self-control. correct speech.

courtesy. Somehow or other, it does
seem as If such course on use of

civilized community. - News Tribune
