'"Oct ready to tight my four llerce
rts," ho chuckled to them, "I want to
ho amused nnd that will niako a fine
how."
Peiw nnd Hilly knew It would bo n
fine show for the rats, but It wouldn t be
a fine show for them, nor even a fair
Bhow. for now that tliey were tlo11-Hl70
the four fierce rats could tear thrm to
pieced beforo they would have a chance
to fljtht. " ,. .,
But Hlllv had a plan to , avoid the

"Old you ever hear tne story of the
ghost cat with a bll around Us neon?"
ha nsked Ilascal Hat. ...
"No," chuckled Ilascal Uat. "Is tt
another story about some ono ehaslnx
some one else around iho trco and
around the tree and around the tree?"
"Xo, It Is a very funny story about a
ghost cat with a bell on Its neck who
chases n bl fat rat." said Billy, and ho
winked at PcBfry.
"Eek!" said Itasca! Hat with a little,
shiver, for the thought of n. Bhost cat
chasing a big fat rnt sent n chill wrlg
Bllng down his back. "Eek!" squeaked
the other rats. "Wo wnnt to hear tho
story of the ghost cat that cashed tho
big- fat rat." " They were very curious
nhout ths story, as most folks arc over
ghost stories.
Peggy knew that Billv wonted her to
keep the minds of the rats upon the
story while he worked out his plan to
escape. SV sho started In:
"Once upon a time there was a big
fat rat who lived in a dark. Bloomy
otrawstack near a barn." she befian In

to fill out Mr. Harding's term In the
Senate, Is probably one of tho best
spellers in the world,
Some years ago, when he was a
member of the House, the National
l'ress Club challenged Congress to n
spelling bee. The men of the prcsss, be
ing in a way professional spellers, ex
pected to have things pretty well their
own way.
Secretary Houston, then of the De
partment of Agriculture, himself a
schoolmaster, gave out the words. They
were n rare selection of contorted mul

inally n schoolmnstor, tfnd Senator
Ashurst, of Arizona, who evolved from
tho calling of lumberjack and cowboy.
These two fought it out. Finally
tho word "erysipelas" was propounded.
The senator from Arizona succumbed.
Mr. Willi!) wns the victor.
Edwin T. Meredith, secretary of agri
culture, was expatiating upon the un
businesslike methods of printers and
publishers of pnpers, work with which
he has had much experience.
In a certain small town, he said, tho
publisher of a paper went broke nnd
had to close up shop. A few days later
ho met tho local banker on the street
and the latter was reminded that tho
bank owed n bill for a printing job.

Hello, Children!
I am Jack
and here's my
JINGLE BOX
and every day I'm
giving away to the
children who are
14 years or under,
a prize of
$$$-TEN DOLLARS-$$$
All the grown-ups have been having a lot of fun with
that LIMPIN' LIM'RICK contest in the Evening Public
Ledger. And I saw a -lot of children trying to enter it, but
they seemed to find the verses too hard for them to com
plete. So I said to the Editor: "Here, you've got to give the
kiddies a chance. You just sit back and let ME run a jingle
contest especially for them."
And the Editor fellow said: "All right, Jack, go ahead."
So I am ,-
STARTING NEXT MONDAY
You'll find my JINGLE BOX on the page opposite the
funny pictures every evening thereafter in the Evening
Public Ledger. And the jingles will be so easy that any
child can complete 'em and get a chance at that TEN
DOLLARS THAT I'M GOING TO GIVE AWAY EVERY
DAY.
