pretty. I was talking to one and
it said that it was afraid that the
aeabottom might subside and it
would be buried. It said that the
other coral reefs all around that

SOME SCHOOL
A Dog's Opinion of Cats
(Maupin Pupil)
I am a little Colly puppy and
my name is Wooly. I have long
b'ack hair and am two months
ol, and am very much abused.
My mistress is a great lover of
cits and last Sunday she brought
home a black and white one she
calls Fios.-y. She thinks an awful
lot of it and takes it up on her lap
and pets and talki to it as if it
Were a baby. She used to do me
that way but she don't any more,
I don't believe Bhe likes me like
she used to, because I chase Flos
sj. lint I don't care, for I don't
Ike flossy anyway( I don't like
any cat and I don't see what'good
they are.
My, I'm dreadfully hungry, T
haven' i hud anything i'ood to eat
since Flossy came. Mistress gave
me some bread yesterday for din
ner, but 1 don't like bread, so I
went and buried it, because if I
didn't Flossy would get it. This
morning ; Mistress set a - bowl of
milk out on the porch for me and
I didn't more than get started
drinking it till Floosy came and
took away from me. I snapped
at her. and she scratched my nose.
That made me angry, so we bad a
fight, r; Then Mistress eame out
and thnt me in the cold celtar I
barked and pawed on the door,
but it didn't do any good.
The other day I chased Flossy up
a tree and then I sat down und. t
it and barked, at her. -1 had her
pretty badly scared and was be
ginning to laugh to myself when
Mistress called mej bhe gave me an
awful whipping, but it wouldn't
have hurt half so much if it had
of been anyone else that whipped
me. I think an awful lot of Mia-'
tress and we could get along if ft
was not for Flossy.

sizes are swimming about. They

I spe old Neptune, He is tall
and dark, and has a long white
beard with long white hair; Kin
eyes are dark and his eyebrow o
are bo shaggy and lofig that I Can't

on a long white fur trimmed cloak
and a cap to match. The cap he
wears on the top of his head for
bis hair ia ho long and heavy that
he can't pull it down over his ear".
He carries a septer in his hand.
