How the Little White Kitten Saved Grandmotherj The Little White Kitten had heard a great deal about Hallowe’en. She j lmd listened to Dubby and Bobble talk as they made their Jack o’ Lanterns out of two pumpkins from the garden. They had said they were going over to Grandmother Kneeland's just as soon as It was dark and slip up on her porch and scare her. ‘ I think she'll be so scared that her cap will fall off." chuckled Bobble, and then Dubby laughed loudly. The Little White Kitten thought this a very silly plan, for she secretly admired the lace cap that grandmother always wore when she came to tea. She thought about It a great deal the afternoon of Hallowe'en as she took a walk out Into the garden among the pumpkin vines. "I think Dubby and Bobble ought to be taught a lesson, for there Is no sense at all In soaring grandmother’s cap right off her head. I'll save her," thought the Little White Kitten bravely. Of course she knew thlft everyone expected cats to run around on Hallowe’en, and for that reason no one would think about it at all If she did j stay away from home a little while. So when Dubby and Bobble went to the front window at grandmother’s I . house the Little White Kitten tore to the back door. She cried so loudly that | b grandmother hurried to the back door instead of going to the window when r the corn was thrown at it. "You poor little kitten, what is the matter?" She took the kitten Into | her arms and sat down. She was so busy petting her that she paid no at-[ tentlon to the Jack o’ Lantern grinning at them through the window. Much disappointed, Dubby and Bobbie turned away slowly toward home. They could not understand It at all. The Little White Kitten knew. She was very happy because that day to this kittens have always been spe cially kind on Hallowe’en to grandmothers, she had thought out a way to save grandmother and her pretty lace cap. From Polly always has a Hallowe’en party »nd each year flic expects me to help her make masks for all the children to wear. To be sure, I am glad to do It, for the most fun of all about having a workshop Is the mak ing of toys for mother and Polly, fi-ven father thinks It Is fine when I •an mend things around the house ind help him "keep things up,” as he Mils it.

Dear Happy: I received your but ton and I am very proud of it. This time 1 am going to write you a story. Once upon a time there was a lit tle girl named Noreen and her friend Rose. "1 wonder what makes everybody love Noreen so much?" asked Rose of her mother one day. "1 don't know." said her mother, "perhaps if you watch her you will fiml out." So Rose watched very closely. One day while in school No’reen looked hack and saw a little girl cry ing. Then raising up her hand site asked permission to leave her seat. She said to the girl, "What is the matter, Annie?" "I cannot solve this problem," the girl replied. Then Noreen took her pencil and showed her how to get it. After school the girls were playing tag. Noreen was playing too. She whirled around and knocked a cane out of a gentleman s hand. As soon is she saw what she had done she said: “Oh, pardon me.” and picking up the gentleman’s cane handed It to him. He said "That Is all right. For l am glad to tip my hat to such a polite young lady." “Oh, I would not have done that for anything," said the rest of the girls. A few minutes later a rich lady stopped her carriage and had Noreen rnter. The next week Noreen's mother had a party. Noreen and the little girls were looking at a book. N'o'reen saw an old lady. No one seemed to notice her. so Noreen left he girls and talked to the old lady, rhe next day- Rose said to her mother: "I know why every lady loves S'oreen. She is so good and kind."

Once upon a time there was a boy v. ho lived in the country with his father and mother by the woods. One day the little boy went out to the woods and saw a robin with a wing broken. Jack stopped to think. "I better take that bird home,” he sold. So he picked it up and took It home, put It in a box and kept It till it was well. Jack let it go when it was well.

It maketh warm the fields of corn, It gives us Joy and cheer. The trees bud and blossom. The cherries are turning led, My father's garden Is growing well. And so is my flower bed. The birds are chirping and singing And swaying on every limb; Tlte brook is rippling and gurgling And overflowing Its brim. In the brook the lazy trout lies Basking in the sun. The man comes after the trout with a hook. Run for your life! Run!

IN FIELD AND FOREST Our southern Go-Hawks would be able to tell you many lnteres' ing things about the great pine forests. They know as well as I th value of the sap of the pine tre^ This rich liquid Is called rosin <>i pitch. When the liquid is drained from the trees It Is heated and a Ugh liquid called turpentine Is drained off The rest then hardens and Is know i as rosin. Whenever this rosin Is ex posed to the air it hardens Into gum This makes It Impossible to draw through small spike-like tubes su as are used for the maple sap. It is too bad that the smaller tube can't be used, for It means that gren gashes are cut Into the side of a pm tree, forming a pocket large enoug to hold three pints or more. Then square foot or more of bark above tb pooket must be cut off. The wo* is then chopped to the depth of a inch or more. Just as fast as tb pockets fill with the rosin a in comes with dipper and pails to emp them. He carrle* the palls to a s and the rosin Is poured Into gre tanks and heated to draw off t! liquid turpentine. Once every week from March ' November more bark and wood mu be chopped off or the rosin will n. flow. Turpentine, rosin, and tar at the products of the sap of pine tree and all are most valuable, especial to sea going craft of all kinda Mar foreign coutries nave reason to t grateful for our pine forests that hat been able to furnish them so genei ously with th»se products.
