OUR YOUN3 FOLKS
JACK AND THE BEANSTALK,
Jack was an orphan, poor but true;
A wondrous bean he found;
And ere he sl: pt, for safety’'s sake,
He hid it in the ground,
One morn he rose, to see a vine
Above his hidden treasure,
That o'er a palace near him grew,
Whose height he could not measure.
And soon a vision moved the boy,
To thrust hir hatchet strong
Within the vine, and npward rise
Sing ng this merry song:
“I" hitch my hatchet and up I'll go
Thehigher Lelimb the more I'll know.’
He mastered all one room could teach,
Then elimbad a story higher;
For love and knowledge all his soul
Buraued with a pure desire,
“I'll hitch oy hatchet and up I'll go,
The higher Iclimb the more I'll know,’
And so he rose by sure degrees,
From alphabet to college;
Fur the vast palace he explored,
The temples was of knowledge.

They throw themselves in a erouching
position on the upper end of a steep,
snow-covered incline, work all four
legs with a swimming motion to get
a start, and then slide down on the
surface of the snow, often traversing
a distance of from 100 to 150

CATS IN GOVEENMENT EMPLOY
Would you think that the govern-
ment n~eded to provide for hnndreds
of cats, so many tha! specifications
are sent ont by the commissary de-
partment—the department that cares
for the food of the soldiers—asking
for bids on certain qualities of meat,
which must be good and sound, with
all the eut out, and that this
meat is intended for the government
cats? And what do you suppose they
do? They are employed by the gov-
ernment, their wages being simply
board and housing, to protect the
storehouses of the government from
rats and mice. The government, you
know, has to keep large supplies of
food for the army-—crackers, flour,
cheese, and many things that are very
greatly enjoyed by rats and mice—and
if o wore not kept in sufficient
numbers to protect these stores, the
government wonld lose large sums
of money, for not only would the food
disappear, but boxes and packages
would be nibbled and the food wasted
and destroyed in handling,

Ose morning Van was in a great
hurry to get to some important
work he had on hand, —the marshall-

sort. So he hurried to get in'o his
clothes; and, of course, they bothered
him, because he was in a hurry and
didn’t take as much pains as nsual,
Things would get upside down, “hind

and legs of the<e same things got

finishing touches,

even their women and babies floating
