Fusty Seven Toes When the Norwegian vessel, the Trexel, was torpedoed by the Germans, the crew was anxious to saw the life of Its pet cat before the boat was sunk and the Germans,, probably due to superstition, told them to go back and get the cat So the men went back and rescued Mickey, the Norwegian cat which was born with seven toes on his front feet instead of five, which is all that ordinary pussy cats have. I saw Mickey a few weeks ago and he is a very pretty striped tiger cat with & rather small head, and sure enough, thre were seven toes on each front paw! He has a good home, I am glad to say, and I know he will grow up to be a good, stanch American cat. Dumb Animals.

A brawny slacker of a tramp knocked at the kitchen door of a farm houso and whined out a request for food. "Young man," eald the farmer's wife, "you ought to go to the front" "I did go to the front, lady," said the slacker, "but I couldn't make nobody hear, so I came around to the back."

WHAT THE BOY SCOUTS HAVE DONE TO HELP WIN THE WAR. The Boy Scouts of Troop 3, Richmond, Indiana, have not been slackers during the war. Nearly all the war literature that has been passed out has been done by scouti. Every patriotic parade has had the scouts in it along with all patriotic meetings and rallies. In the four Liberty Loans, the scouts have sold large amounts of bonds, and some even own them. All posters of the different drives have been posted by the scouts. In the W. S. S. drive they were not lacking and besides each scout owning them, the local scout treasury invested a large amount in them. Now during the United War Fund drive over 75 per cent of the scouts have each subscribed five dollars or more to the fund, and they mean to have 100 per cent soon. Even with peace tho work has only begun and the Boy Scouts of America will not be found wanting in the task which is before us. N. F. II.

LITTLE LOST PUP. Arthur Gulterman in N. Y. Times. He was lost not a shade of a doubt of that; For he never barked at a slinking cat But stood in the square where the wind blew raw, With a drooping ear and a trembling paw, And a mournful look in his pleading eye, And a plaintive sniff at the passerby. That begged as plain as a tongue could sue, "O mister; please may I follow you?" A lorn wee waif of tawny brown, Adrift In the roar of a heedless town. Oh, the saddest of sights in a world of sin Is a little lost pup with tail tucked in. Well, he won my heart (for I set great store On my own red Bute who is here no more) So I whistled clear, and he trotted up, And who so glad as that small lost pup? Now he shares my board, and he owns my bed, And he fairly shouts when he hears my tread. Then, if things go wrong, as they sometimes do, And the world is'cold, and I'm feeling blue, He asserts his right to assuage my woes With a warm, red tongue and a nice, cold nose; And a silky head on my arm or knee And a paw as soft as a paw can be. When we rove the woods for a league about, He's as full of pranks as a school let out; For he romps and frisks like a three-months colt, And he runs me down like a thunderbolt; Oh, the blithest of sights in the world so fair Is a gay little pup with his tail in air.

Of course we liked our garden when we viewed the lettuce beds, And picked the tender ears of corn, and counted cabbage heads! It took, a lot of work to plant and weed and hoe and prune, But then, we liked our garden! 'Twas a thing of art in June! But now that winter blusters and all prices soar and soar, And we can hear the H. C. L. ascratching at the door, And mother opens home canned corn or peas or beets or greens! Say! Takes all year to show folks what a garden really means! Des Moines Tribune."
