was rebuilt. and in 1470 the cathedral
acquired the shape 1t held until the mod
ern addition in the nineteenth century:
that is, it consisted of a nave and choir
with aisles extending the entire length
and a west pinnacled tower rising with
its plain and graceful crocheted spire
to a height of PAT feet.
In 1897, on the death of Bishop How
1t was decided to honor his memory by
an eastward extension of the CATHEDRAL
by means Of transepts and a Lady
Chapel, and in 1901 the foundation
stone of the new works was laid by the
Archbishop of Canterbury. The en-
larged cathedral was reopened with an

the south chancel aisle, containing
staircase which formed corner of the
transept of the church built here in the
year 1924. This church, however, came
to early grief. for in 1929 the tower fell,
doing so much damage to the structure
that an almost complete rebuilding was
essential. The work was completed a
few years later. BUT the present tower,
the one now gracing the structure, was
commenced not until 1909. At this time
several other alterations were under
taken; the church was heightened con-
siderably. clereStory added, the choir

BEDTIME STORIES BY =. 1 sSscss9

Pussy stole forward very, very slowly
and very, very carefully Only when
the young rats head was turned the
other way did she move, and then only
for a step. Her yellow eyes glowed
with eagerness. Little by little, little
by little, she crept nearer and nearer.
The young rat did not notice her. He
was too busy stuf1fng himself with
spilled grain. At last Black Pussy was
almost within jumping distance. If she
could creep just step or two nearer,
she would be where she could spring on
that young rat before he could reach
the safety of that hole.
THAT fellow Is NINE" thought Black
Pussy. He can't get away from me.
In just a minute now I'll have him."
She stole forward another step. Then
gradually she drew her hind feet under
her and prepared to spring. Just as
she was going to spring that rat dis
appeared. Yes, sir, that young rat dis
appeared. He disappeared right up in
the dusk of the upper part OF the barn,
Black Pussy was so aStoniShed that for
a moment or two she didn't move. She
simply stared up. as if she couldn't be-
lieve what she saw What she saw was
the Shadowy outline of a bird. and
hanging below it was the young rat she
had been so sure of. 1t had been taken
from right under her very nose. Then
bird and rat disappeared above the
rafters.
OF course, you have guessed who had
taken that young rat from almost under
the nose of Black Pussy the Cat. 1t
was Spooky the Screech Owl. who had
been driven into the barn during the
storm a few days before and now was
making himself at home there. From
his perch on rafter he had looked
down and seen that young rat. He had
seen Black Pussy, too. He had seen her
when she first entered the barn, and he
had watched her patiently stealing to-
ward that young rat. Then, without
making a sound-for, you know, his
wings are noiseless-Spooky had glided
down and picked up that young rat.
Seldom has Black Pussy been in a
worse temper than she was when she
realized just what had happened. She
looked up among the shadowy rafters
and growled:
You're a thief" she snarled. THAT
rat was mine! You wait! Some day
I'll catch you. You're robber and a
thief"
But from up in the shadowy rafters
there came no reply. Spooky was too
busy
LAS long as there is such good hunt
ing I shall stay here" he was thinking,
and didn't even look down at Black
Pussy the Cat.

Hot Sandwiches.

Toast two slices of whole-wheat bread
and butter them generously while hot.
Have ready slice of cooked chicken
that has been heated in hot stock or
gravy. Place the chicken on one slice
of toast, add thin slice of tomato, a
little chopped green pepper and dash
of mustard. Lay on the top piece of
toast cut into thirds. and put the sand
wich on crisp, lettuce leaf. Serve i'm
mediately.
Scrape fine piece of fresh, juicy raw
beef and spread it between slices OF
bread that have been buttered slightly
Toast each side of the sandwich and
serve Immediately. A sprinkling of salt
and pepper and grating of raw onion
makes this more palatable to many
people.

that Black Pussy went over to the barn.
There was no other place to go. She
entered the barn through the little
swinging door that had been provided
for her. once inside, she moved softly
toward the grain bin.' She had learned
that there was where she would most
likely see mouse or young rat. Sure
enough, there, close to the grain bin,
was young rat, very busy eating a
little grain that had been spilled. Close
by was hole. He was too near that
hole for Black Pussy to make a rush
with any chance Of catching him. She
would have to steal upon him.
So crouching close to the floor, Black

Black Pussy, Farmer Browns Cat,
dearly loves to hunt mice and squirrels
and birds In other words, she dearly
loves to hunt. 1t isn't that she needs
them or wants them for food 1t is
Tor the pleasure of hunting them Now.
In Winter, when the snow is on the
ground, there is very little hunting for
Black Pussy. excepting in Farmer
Browns barn. So she goes out to
Farmer Browns barn every dav to hunt
Tor mice and young rats. She isn't
so eager for full-grown rats. Both rats
and mice are almost always to be found
in almost any barn That is because
there is always food there in the way
of grain. and because there are so many
hiding places.

LESSON OF JACKSON SCANDAL.

Whether or not the Attorney-General of Missis- sipp is guilty of the charge of unlawfully obtaining money as an official for himself his arrest under a charge of doing so serves to call attention to the circumstance that the South has been singulary free from scandals such that which now excites Jackson. The South has her faults, God knows but there is no section of the country where honor and honesty in public place have been more generally the rule than in Dixie. Bigotry and prejudices have often held sway in many parts of the South ern States People in high office down there have permitted their passions to lead them into deadly feuds and sometimes to do grave injustice. But rare, indeed have been charges of corruption or dishonesty of any sort for personal monetery gain

"SMOKES' DROPPED FROM PLANES IN
 FOREST FIRE DANGER TEST.

A burning cigarette cigar dropped from an airplane is capable of starting forest fire accord ing to the Forest Service of the United States Department of Agriculture Forest officers recently made tests which prove the assertion
 Reports of forest fires ascribed to cigarettes thrown from passing arpanes during the past year have been based largely circumstantal evidence. A wide difference of opinion has prevailed as to whether butt dropped from swiftly moving plane would continue to burn until it reached the ground Many believed the propeller blast might snuff out the fire.
 To procure dependable information experi- ments with forest patrol plane were conducted at the Spokane airport. Lighted cigars and plain tipped cigarettes of brands commonly in use were dropped from attitudes of approximately 800 feet and LOGO feet above ground At the time of the tests the temperature was about 75 degrees F. rea-

COPPER AND LEAD ARE FIRM.

It is encouraging to Juneauites who are becom- ing interested in mining development to know that the Engineering and Mining Journal sees far weather ahead for copper and lead. Copper IS firm at Is cents for the local market and l03 cents for export and the demand for lead is strong at CTS cents a pound The great mining publica- ton believes both metals will remain high for a long time to come.
 This is a situation that will please everybody in the North Yukon Territory and Northern British Columbia are both lead producers and Alaska is one of the big copper producers The new strikes in the Taku district carry both copper and lead.

tive humidity 34 per cent, and wind movement about ' miles per hour
 picked up from the field All five cigars recovered were still burning It did not appear that increas- ing the height of fall from 500 to 1000 feet was an important factor
 These tests demonstrated convincngly, says the Forest Service, that large percentage of smokes dropped from attitudes up to at least LOGO feet may still be burning after they have reached the ground and thus under the right conditions may cause forest or grass fires It appears that, with the growth of commercial aviation, it may become de sirable to adopt measures to prevent the throwing of lighter butts from airplanes, and to provide convenient receptacles for butts in the cabins of planes.

The Desert Takes Its Toll.
(New York Times.)


 To the thousands who have motored through the deserts of Southern California the transcontnen- tai highways it will shock to read Of the famiy that had breakdown on an unfrequented road north of Blythe, and perished of thirst.
 By a strange paradox this danger may be said to be greater today than in the times of the over land immigrant trains and of the early prospectors The is that the early desertfarers knew well what to expect. Word was passed back to the fringe of settlements of the horrors of the Southern desert and the necessity of knowing where water was to be found. Death Valley earned its name because of the failure of party of strangers to take proper precautions Further south in the days of the Spanards part of the trail to California from Texas was known the "Jornada del Mureto' the march of death
 Those who took these trails knew what to do. Today many who through by motor are as helpless little children if they get off the main road and have engine trouble. This obviously the fate of the lost family. But it will be a grim reminder to those who pass through the less-fre- quented roads in the desert country that 1t is well to carry not only tools and extra gas and oil but plenty of water. This is especially true when making the journey in Summer, for the heat, whether in Yuma, Ariz. in the Imperial Valley of California, in Death Valley itself, is relentless and cruel.
