Well, children all think I'm so lovely that I've been feeling cults proud of my self lately but yesterday my pride had a fall. 1 wasn't, good, and what's worse, I did not want to be good. It la all on ac count of that unnecessary cat that Uule brought la. . tissle U our girl. 8 he sweeps tba floor, and gets dinners for the lady .'mother and the lady daughter, and we four are all there art in the family. I do not Ilk cats we never had one be foreand Lady Daughter always taught . ma to chase them out of the yard, for they get after the birds and the little chicken. Tbl litUe eat thing got In while H waa escorting Lady Daughter to the butcher's I . always go with her, carrying my own market basket In my mouth.

I found her drink ing out of It when I got back from market, and wow! wasn't I mad! I barked and barked aad waa going to shove her right out as I had been told to do to all cats, when Lady Daughter said very sharply I "Qlager! you must let this cat alone. Do you hear, sir?" "Oh! wow! WhyT why? why?" I barked. "Because she Is very little and Llasle likes , her." she said. Then Lady Mother picked up the little thing and smoothed down the big lump on her bark and the tall that got all swelled and stiff when I barked at her. Then she held the thing close to my no but she didn't smell goodand i aaeesed on purpose, and brushed my nose off with my paw, and then I sat down and looked mad.

My chair la a lovely big chair. It ta the only one In the house that I can be comfortable lu, and it lands right by the window, where I alt and watch for Lady Daughter to come hgme from busineas every night. I always take a nap there, and It has the nicest kind of a cushion. One day after I had been kept awake all night guarding the house, so the burglars wouldn't touch Lady Mother and Lady Daughter, I came In to take a anoose in my chair, and there waa that Impudent kitten walking In a very silly way rojind and round on the cushion of my chair. By the time I reached her aha had wound heraelf In a bail and vwu pretending to sleep. I picked her up by the neck very gently and put her on the floor. She mad a horrible spitting noise and alapped ma In the face. Her paw baa needles in it and they hurt. However, I kept my tem per, and Jumped up In my chair without even slapping her back. But Lady Daugh ter bad been watching me. I thought then that aha did not love roe any more, I thought aha only loved that aaucy, out-of-place, miserable, hateful cat. for ahe aaid: "Ginger! get down out of that chair this 'minute. Do you bear, alrr Of course I heard her. I always hear her and mind her. I got down and ahe picked up that nasty little cat and put her back in my chair. I waa mad aa I could be. I said a real ugly word to Lady Daughter, and then I sat down on the floor, put my chin In my pawa and thought about It. It waa my home first, and my Lady Daughter first, and my chair cushion first, and my chair first and I did not want that atrango beast sitting on my cushion that Lady Daughter had made for me ber ownself. I wondered If I couldn't have Just the cush ion. .They'd made me give the little cat beast everything else. Finally I got up and very gently pulled It out from under the cat, watching Lady Daughter all the time then I carried the cushion to the far end of the room and sat, down on It. Lady Daughter laughed and laughed. Then she came over and got down beside me and hugged me aa If ahe attl loved me J iiat the same. "Dear eld Ginger!" ahe said, "you shall have aome rlghta In . your own house," Then I felt kind' of ashamed I had been auch a pig, so after I had made up with Lady Daughter, if walked aolemnly aver to the rat. who waa asleep in my chair, and I kissed her on the face.

A big amber-colored cat named Ted, which had always been moat careful of his ways, fell Into bad habits. He appeared at the door on successive days with a pigeon, a sparrow and a robin in his mouth. The horrified house-mother Immediately tied three little bells to the cat's collar to prevent a repetition nt hla misdeeds. This seemed to work well tor a time, aa the tinkle warned the btrda of danger. Suddenly the bells disappeared; a blx of bells, such aa are aewed on children's worsted reins, was purchased, and as fast as a bell came off another waa tied In tta place on the collar. One day g big tiger cat, who waa Ted's constant chum, was discovered calmly chewing the ribbon that attached the belle to Ted's collar. The mystery was solved, and after that we entertained our friend by tying a bell oa hla collar and putting him on the bed beside the tiger cat. The Instant he dis covered the bell the tiger began to chew It oft. The question is. did Ted ask him to re move the bell or did the tiger cat dislike the sound of the tinkle, tinkler A Casp Trlclc. To those boya and girls who enjoy either regular camping or spending a night or two In the woods "Just for fun" the expe rience of the three youngsters whom I onoa heard of will be Interesting. The boys, two of whom - were "city chaps," who bad been aent ta an ancle's farm to gain breath after a winter of hard atudy. all worked bard all aummer. They apent much of the time doing the regular farm, work with the men mowing, plow log, raking hay aad storing a In the bam. threehSig, milking and all the delightful thlnga one can find to do on a farm. When work lightened, about September 1, the three boya went off to camp on the shore of a lake near the mountain top, taking with them provisions enough to last for a week. They were driven to their destina tion by Sambo, the negro boy, who did the chores. After he helped them to unload he left them, promising to return for them in a week's time. The boya had only one email tent, not quite large enough for three, but they had brought along three large barrels, and theae they used for sleeping rooms, each one curling up comfortably In the blanket inside. They left one head in each barrel and slept with their feet at the closed end. Aa the nights were cool the protection from the wind waa needed, and with boughs and branches they made a guard against too much wind blowing on their beads. Two of the barrels were placed on poles laid on the ground, and one on stones to keep the dampness of the ground away. -As a coty. warm bed, yet with plenty of air, the barrel couch proved a great success. One night a high wind blew the tent up from the ground and oft Into the lake, scattering the provisions here and there, but the boys never heard a sound of It until one of them received a blow on tha head from a piece of bacon that had hung In the tent and was following It through the air.
