PLEA for homeless cats.
.■'he stood in the tender twilight
While the soft wind whispered by,
Homeless, friendless, and weary,
Under the evening sky. •
* he scent of violets was wafted
f rom the grassy turf at her feet.
And the promise of coming summer
Made all things wondrous sweet.
But alone she stood in the twilight.
Ith the dew on her roughened hair.
And her soft eyes dimmed by unshed
tears.
With never a friend to pare:
And never a roof to shelter her
Or a kindly word Is said.
As from door to door she moves along,
Begging her daily bread.
"Oh. think of her in your cheerful
homes,
When the twilight shadows come.
And you gather around your bounteous
board
In the safe and happy home.
Give her a kind and gentle word—
You can surely spare her that:
Fhe may come to your door at any time—
The homeless, deserted cat.”
“FLOATING DIAMONDS.”
Aunt Susie does not like the title of
tins article. I think she is afraid the
oung folks will not quite catch the idea.
But I think you will, and I will trust
you Just in front of my office is the
chimney of the Austell building. I was
leisure one afternoon and saw vol
umes of black smoke rolling out of it. I
looked up Marietta strict and saw the
t ime from the Atlanta cotton factory. ;
from the gas works, and as my eyes
wandered around, the smoke from th-? -
fall chimneys seemed to be filling the
atmosphere.

diamonds.” I think that is a good name
' for it. What do you think?
If I was to offer a diamond, or a million
gadons of smoke, you would surely take
the diamond. Wouldn't you?
• What if their comparative worth? I
i don't mean in money, but in what they
j could do of real use.
A diamond looks pretty on a lady's
I finger, in a breastpin and a circle of
j diamonds is very beautiful as an orna
, ment woven into a lady’s hair, but that
is about all. If I had one I would not
wear it and would bo obliged to give
It or sell it to some one. That is all about
there is in a diamond. What about the
smoke. We think this: That in 6,000
■ years at least man has been living on
; earth, ho. has been building fires, the
! smoke has been going up. It could not
I go above a few miles high and it seems
j that in so long a time the whole air
would be filled with smoke. But look out
I any bright morning and you will see
I that it is not. What has become of it?
! Scientific men might differ from us, but
j we are thinking for ourselves, not them,
i and we are. just as apt to be right as
I they .ire. What has become of tho smoke?
;We see ii go up. when it gets some
what scattered a'bout, the air says: ‘‘lf
I let this smoke stay here 1 will always
I be dark, the shining sun cannot bo seen.
S i the oxygt n of the air gets mixed with
; the smoke and thus forms carbonic acid
gas. But that is so heavy that ft cannot
i stay high up and it comes down to earth
, Just as soon as it comes down, the trees
i and grass and ‘lowers say, “Why, that
i is something we want.” So they open
i their millions and millions of mouths
I in the leaves and drink in the carbonic
i acid gas. Then they say. ' Now we have
■ got the carbon out of this to make the
I woo I in our bodies. We don't want tho
j oxygen, so they breathe that out and
I that is what we must have so live; so
; men, children, animals and binds breathe
j that. I might go on to say when we get
I the oxygen out Os it we breathe out car
’ bon 1c a.’id gas. Npt It seems too much
I Ilk' science to tell you of these changes
j among the many, some of which we have
| font-I out by thinking a little. J
must be short.).but cannot help it. Do
' i>u think “Floating Daimonds" is a
good name for smoke?

i I wish to lake for my subject Home.
: Home is the sacred and devine shrine
i at which true live ami companinonship
arethe only elements which can exist
! where the outside world cannot come to
i pry or meddle with obligations; ot
course home makers are called upon
by sacred and binding vows, which they
have had to exert every means in them
power to make home, a perfect Eden
and where love reigns supreme, how
easy we. find it to work and plan and
I contrive for our dear ones. Home is
' a great schoolroom. If the home con
i versation is pure the children will em
l bibe the same tone of thought and th'*
! home will be the fountainhead of all
i that. Is ennobling. The spot whore pure
I affection has its berth. LOvo will
I grow stronger as ft Is cultivated and
home will become an earthly paradise
I and we will all feel “there's no place
| like home." How many chapters Is
I there in John that does not say bo
| llevo, and whore is the shortest verso
i in tho Old Bible.

with great pleasure.. You look "n the
right side of life. Indeed, we will hate
to strive If wo be successful. As w
arc to live In this progressive age of
thrift and industry, it behooves each and
I every one to be up and doing. Who of
i us shall remain in Ihe background "•
i obscurity then live without an aim. with
j no ambition for anything higher than
• that which nature bestows upon us? The
I eye of education will bo turned upon
i those who with a llrtn and steady step
j tread their way to tho topmost round
iof success. May wo be inspired by the
| good results accomplished by the li’.-'s
I of honored Americans now past and for

there would be an awakening in every

Sam Jones reputation, was going to
preach there, and naturally t. large crowd
• bid gone cut to hear him. Tho text had

: beginning tn ge; his subject, warmed up
! pretty good, wh< n -squt al. a cat had
; caught a rat right on the rostrum, tiglp
-in front of the preacher. I have seen
I dags mid b. hles and plenty of suclt minor

I cat. Well, off the cat trotted, with the
j rat squealing, right among the ladies.
I and you al! know feow women like rats

I eluded it would have some fun with

I and seek around t>f worm-it's dre--<-s.
I which ame pretty near causing a panic.
i It was with mu -h ado that some- of tho
; people kept their faces straight. By
j and-by they got back o,n the rostrum
I again, running around the foot.
IEOBEHTS
When I say I cure 1 Jo not mean merely to

turn again. I mean a radical cure. I have made
' tlie disease of FITS, EPILEPSY or FztLLING
‘ SICKNESS a life-long study. I warrant my
remedy to cure the worst cases. Because
others have failed is n.> reason for not now

By that lime the giggling was going on
at such a rate the preacher could not
teip but notice It. He said: "Ah. my
riends, the devil’s got you just, like that
at has that rat. and he's going to play
vitli you a while, but lie'lj make sure,
you don’t get away.” Just then the rat
-lipped into the Bible stand, where it had
ome "rum. Tho preacher looked down at
m> cat a while, then looked up. and
'id; "Yes. it got .-’.way. and I hope you
• ill get away just as easy. but. mind
•it. he's _.'it— to keep a sharp '.-okout
>r another i-hance. and there will be
■to playing the second time.” One of the
officers of lite ehurclt went and picked
the cat up and threw it out of th; win
dow, but it canto right back. A little girl
then threw it out,, bur’ it was persistent,
and was soon back again. But. after all.

F. Monroe Smith, Box No. 72. Fair
mount, Okla.—Dear Junior: I have just
returned from an extended visit to my
far-off eastern home in the Keystone
State. The place I once called home is
al Johnstown, Ba., a lively town, nestled
at the base of the blue Alh-ghanies,
whose high peaks rear their proud heads
out against the deep blue of heaven like
statues of content. Now it is Indian
sumtner there. Autumn's cruel frost, has
tinged her mantle of green, and she has
donned her solemn robe of dusk and gold,
picturesque in the hazy distance, and
glowing like an ocean of gilt and lire.
Here is Johnstown, the “smile ot the
Alleghanb’s. ’ You know that the sweet
ness of th-? sunset comes from the sad
ness that ahiays accompanies an ending,
a final cluse. So did former Johnstown
sink in fright and disaster, leaving noth
ing to testily against that awful catas
trophe save St Patrick cathedral and a
small group of broken hearts that will
only la mended beyond the azure dome.
How spontaneously a city will grow!
Johnstown has been rebuilt since then.
The throbbing locomotive daily wttn
thousands "f human freight rushes
through the d.-. p vault, wlieic once con
tained the tri-.'ich'.'rous waters that mist
imed so many thousands to forever srim
