"It is better than running around, getting into trouble as you do, Miss Pussie," said the clock, "and just for that I will not tell you something you would be glad to know, for I could tell vou how to keep out of trouble, but I'll just let you find out for yourself now." "You do not not not need to tell me, Mr. Clock. I ain much smarter than you are.

I do not need a stupid old fellow like you who never gets out in the world to tell me, who sees everything and goes everywhere, anything, for I know it all." "We'll see who hears the most, you or replied the clock. "I can tell you more about what is going on in this house than you know, even if you do run about. I hear a lot in this kitchen that everybody would like to know." "Well, I'll leave you to fix it up with cook in the morning about the cream," said Pussie. "Of course, she will know you did not do it because you never leave the shelf." Off went Puss to the cellar, where she knew there was a place she could crawl out of doors, and the next morning she came in the door; hearing but not before the clock ticked out: cook's angry words, she ran out a again, "Thief; thief!" "That clock is an old tell-tale, as well as a disagreeable old thing," said Pussie, running out into the yard. About dinner time Pussie came slyly in the kitchen and the cook called out: "Here she is!" In came the master with a stick a and showing Pussie some feathers, he gave her a smart cut with a stick across the back.

"I'll teach you to eat my chickens," he said, giving her another tinkling with the stick. cream last night, fond then broke the "Give her one me; she ate my bowl," said cook; "how she got in is more than I know." "I'll give her one more chance," said the master, "and the next time she touches one of my chickens out she goes for good." Pussie ran under the stove and curled herself up, but the clock ticked loudly, and Puss knew it was all meant for her to hear. "You're a thief! I knew it! I knew it!" ticked the clock, Puss stood it as long as she could and then ran out. That night when everything was still the clock struck 12. Puss had crawled in through the place in the cellar and was waiting for the clock to speak when the midnight hour should strike.

"What are they going to do with me if I catch another chicken?" asked Pussie. "They said something about a box and a sponge, and, putting you in the box," said the clock. "Master said it would not hurt you, you would only go to sleep, and they said they would bury the box in the yard." "Well, they won't have to because I am never going to touch a chicken or steal the cook's cream either. 1'have turned over a new leaf," said NEWS OF THE SCHOOLS Adelphi Sophomores Entertain College With Song Revue.

THE Kitchen Clock was so full of laugh that it almost fell off the shelf, for it knew that in another minute it would strike 12, and then it could talk, but best of all it would frighten puss. Pssuie was at that minute on the shelf in the pantry with her head in the bowl of cream, and when the clock struck the first stroke of 12 it did so with a loud bang, and off the shelf fell Puss and the bowl, too. "Why didn't you frighten a body to death?" asked Pussie, as she came out of the pantry. "Oh! ho, ho," laughed the clock. "I guess I did scare you some, but what were you doing in there, anyway? You are never allowed in there." "That careless cook left the door open," said Pussie, 44 and I thought I should look in and see if there were any mice about.

You gave me a fine scare, and you are to blame that a bowl is broken. I bet I'll get blamed for "Funny it happened to be the bowl that held the cream for breakfast," said the clock. "What were you doing the shelf looking for mice? They are usually in the closets under the shelves." "That is all you know about it, Mr. Clock," said Pussie, "You sit up there high on the shelf and think you know it all, but you never leave this room, Moving Picture Funnies BING!

I. TALKS ON JEWISH BRAVERY. Sheepskin Club Hears of Their Able Aid to French. In an address delivered last night by Marcel Knecht of Paris before the Sheepskin Club, in the Crescents Apartments, Pierrepont street, it was pointed out that the French people were greatly responsible for the spread of the wave of Democracy in Russia. The speaker explained that the French people were sacrificing themselves for the Russians SO that liberty and fraternity, so much treasured by the French, may be the common acquisi- tion of the Russians.

The address delivered by M. Knecht was called "The de Relation of the Jews and France." It consisted of a series of impressions that the speaker gained in his experience as a French soldier and later as a French official. In discussing the part the Jews had played in the war, M. Knecht pointed out the fact that the Jews were among the bravest in France. David Ash, president of the club, acted as chairman.

Dr. Alexander Lyons, rabbi of the Eighth Avenue Temple, took part in the discussion that was followed by a collation. COLLINS AT "WHITE HOUSE." Justice Speaks on Patriotism at Democratic Club. The third of the forum meetings at the White House Democratic Club, 11 Church avenue, was held last night, with Justice Cornelius F. Collins of the Special Sessions, as the speaker.

Sheriff Alfred E. Smith was to have addressed the meeting, but a sudden attack of grip prevented his appearance. Judge Collins spoke on the attitude of Democracy in the present national crisis. He said that the local Democrats should constitute themselves a body to stand by President Wilson and support him fully. The large room of the club was filled to its capacity, and all appreciated the address of Judge Collins.

George Boochover, chairman of the forum committee, presided. CHOP SUEY SHOP RAIDED.

It towered above the dock so high that it seemed like a building on deep foundations, immovable.

People and out as they would go in and out of any large structure. They could not tell from the feeling under their feet whether they were afloat or ashore. Silent, massive, motionless, in the midst the music of an orchestra, the chatter of good-byes, the hurry of belated baggage trucks, the ponderous ship rested. Dock hands hauled away a few gang planks; one or two sections of railing were slipped into place; men and women crowded gether on the wharf so far below the steamer decks that they could hardly be separately distinguished by their friends on board. For a few seconds sounded a deep hoarse blast of steam; then without sound or commotion of and Eagle-Eye was left alone without food or shelter.

How "the poor boy suffered, but not even the slightest groan escaped from his lips. Then came the end of that terrible fourth day that Eagle- Eye would never forget.

He was carried to his mother's wigwam, washed, and then given a great feast of corn-meal, corn-bread and sweet water. How good it all tasted! And now Eagle- was a brave. His mother, tears in her eyes, placed before him a bow and arrow, a beautiful kilt made of wampum and a pair of beaded mocassins. But the best was yet to come, for Eagle-Eye was to accompany his father on a bear hunt, the following day.

No clang of bells, no shouting or orders, no clatter of engines. Every man that took part in managing the machinery or guiding the ship knew just where to be and what to do, says Edward H. Chandler, in Something to Do. Somewhere a directing mind spoke the final word and everyone respected it without question. A few small boys gathered on field to play ball.

They talked loud ly on the way. Everyone had in structions to give to everyone They all wanted to decide everything. Even though they had leaders they did not feel satisfied to follow. So the game went on. An umpire was chosen, but was allowed to settle matters.

Finally disputes arose. Loud talk grew louder. The game broke up in a turmoil of charges and counter -charges. Everyone seemed to think that the more vigorously he shouted about what had happened, the more clearly he would prove that he was right. Yet they all came out to have a good time.

and they thought they had it. I have heard it said of preacher that the less he had to say the louder he shouted. Some people underline a great many words in their letters so as to make sure that there is emphasis enough. The letter shouts at you in many places. Do you think the big steamer would have got away more successfully if a dozen officers had all been screaming themselves hoarse giving orders? Yet the orders were given.

"In the afternoon we went to the big white assembly tent, many prudently carrying their knitting. Here we heard lectures on all phases of the vast subject of preparedness. National defense, for all, as members of the Women's Section of the Navy League, were working, came first.

"But it was understood that the duty of actual fighting does not belong to women. There was not a gun at the camp. Should war ever come to this country, we women could help in a number of different ways. We could go behind the lines as an organized body of nurses' aids; or we could carry on work for the sick and wounded in our homes and communities. And in time of peace could do all in our power to promote patriotism and prosperity throughout our country.

To this end we listened to lectures on 'Good 'Food 'Home-Visiting 'Home 'Woman's Position in the Red and other topies of interest to us in our daily life." -Margaret Dadmun, in St. Nicholas. PROF. G. A.

He i is a trifle off when he says the Hohenzollerns "have about seven dynasties, thus accounting for "the seven heads." I wonder why he didn't look up the word "dynasty."
