They Were Sent In For Competition By the Boys and Girls--The Ca- reer of "Kitty Gray." By Gray tral School hjny Gray had led a most unhappy lif" ever since her eyes were opened, She had been takbn trom her mother and given to a boy who was Very un kind. Poor uttle : hatty-! - It would have been betldr "dor. her ii she had died before she was old enough two kuown what sufiering neant ! Une day when she had been chased round the yard by a dog till she could run no more, Kitty Gray shp- ped through a bole mm a hedge, and tound herself in a beautiiul park. She did not stop to look about her for fear that the dreadful dog was still following her. She scrambled up the nearest tree and erouched down on a lunb ¢lose to the trunk. I'hen, not seeing the dog, she nestled comfort- ably against the tree trunk and tried to get ber path. Ihe leafy" wree was shady and cool, and Kitty was hot and tired after her long chase, so she was soon fast asleep. Suddenly a voice below star- tied her wide awake. Some girls were standing beneath her and the largest was saying to a little one, in a blue dress, "Hight there, dont you see? Ibat little gray kitty all cuddled up in that hollow 7 'lhere! She's awake now. Lome, kitty ! kitty !" Kitty Gray trembled and crowded closer to the limb. She had never learned to love people! How could she ? "Why, the poor little thing's airaid; and see, her ear is scratched and bleeding. th, who could have hurt such a dear kitty? Lhe voice was =o gentle that Kitty Gray almost purred m spite of herselt. But just then the large girl raised her hand toward the tree Instantly hitty sprang up and arched her furry back. "My she's afraid!" was all Kitty heard till she was almost asleep again. Again the soft voice made her open eyes. there stood the girl alone, with a saucer of milk in her hand, "Come pussy," she coax- ed, "I won't hurt you." And though Kitty was still too frightened to come down she set the saucer in the grass and went away. Kitty Gray looked down milk. It looked so good and she was so'hungry. Nobody was in sight. Down she slipped sliding down the rough bark of the tree Cautious- ly, step by step, she reached the saucer gnd thrust her pink nose in- to the rich milk. When the saucer was licked quite clean Kitty Gray sat down like a tidy pussy, to wash her face and paws, and 'while she was busy she heard the soft voice again,--and almost before she knew what had happened-- she was held against a warm loving arm, and ten- derly stroked. And that was the last of Kitty Gray's unhappiness." Here Is an original little story by a boy in the senior first at the Or- phan"s Home school. It is called "The Cruel Man."'; A horse lived with his master who was very cruel. One day the horse was drawing a cart of hay. The hay was very heavy and he could not draw it and his master lashed him. A little boy saw him and said "Stop whipping your horse, please and I will get my little friends to help to carry some of the hay to the barn for the man." A practicali way of helping to saye the horse from "cruel usage." : Kitty at the A little horse story comes from little gal in the Central showing that the girls as well ast boys look out for the kind treatment of the domestic animals. She savs : "One day I was going down the street with my fiend Ivy. 1 saw a poor old horse drawing a big cart of coal, and the driver was whipping the horse so much that I could not bear it and I went up to the driver and said : 'Please don't whip that horse If you were drawing that cart and 1 were to lash you with° that whip, whut would you do? 'I know it would hurt," he said, so he did not use the whip any more." Have is a plea for the birds, put in by a pupil of the Orphans' Home school : 'Perhaps the best friends that we have are the birds. Why ? Because they work every day in the fields, destroying the insects that prey, upon the tender plants on which human lives depend. Have we other friends that will work hard for us, just for their board? No, in deed, you cannot place your eye on any who will do this except the birds which are being killed by men and boys in large numbers The birds are willing to work for us if only they are allowed to live. Why do not people try more to protect these faithful friends? The birds are needed more every vear for as peo- ple increase and more land is cleared the insects increase. Why should not the birds be allowed to increase on . @ | schoo any also A little boy in the same tells of a boy going to school" one morning who "saw a squirrel run into a hole in the path." He had the school the hole - to fokce the poor squirrel out. He found a bucket beside a maple tree and began to pour water into the hole, when, he heard the squirrel trying to get out. st the ae a voice behind him and saw an man with long white locks, who him what he had in there. When he fold him the old man said :- boy like you I was doing that very trick, and an old man like me came along and told me that it was wrong to hurt God's erature. That ni fifty vears ago, but ave Bo r- ory what the old min said, that God made that little squirrel, and life is as sweet to him as it is to you. Now I want vou to bear this in mind, so that you will not try to hurt God's creatures." A little boy in. the junior third class says about the country howse: 'You 'should not whip your horse, but when you get to the end of the eld you should him a i t t hay, which would give him disease. Keep him _ clean. and do not cut off his tail, ~#ecause then he cannot brush away the flies." ~ Another story is about a very in- genious horse, told by a paper in Frontenac school: "1 will tell you about a horse/who lived on a farm, named Bgisie. In the farm yard there is a pump with a trough in front of it from which all the animals drink. Without anyone teaching her, Betsie learned how to work this pump. One day she wanted a drink, but the pump was empty. What did 'she do but take the pump handle in her mouth and work it up and down with her head' till she had drawn enough wat- er for 'herself. Pretty smart for a horse, isn't it?" i Another, from Louise school, tells cruel thought of pouring water into} "When 1 was a little) of an act of kindness towards fowls: | "A farmer going to market had some chickens cooped up in a small | box-- most likely he had driven a long distance with them. They haa nothing to eat or drink. A gentle- | man seeing this cruelty, stepped up, and asked him to get them some water, which the farmer willingly did. This farmer was careless and did not think. Now, if all did something like that, we should be doing a great deal for the Humane Society."--'""VERBUM SAP." THE WHIG'S JUMBLE A Lot of Short Items Run in To- gether. Wedse's last sale to-night.

MISS YORKE VISITED IN KINGS- TON A GREAT DEAL, Home of Pr. C. K. Robinson in Tam- worth Has Been Besieged by the Curious--Miss Yorke Was Very Popular With Everyone in the Vil- lage. (By Staff Reporter.) Tamworth, Aug. 1st. Every eye in-the village has been set towards the big white house: "on the hill," the home of Dr. C. K. Robinson, the young doetor, in whose cellar the dead body of Miss Blanche Yorke | was found Tuesday night. All week the village has been throngeds with people and the doctor's house has heen the centre of attraction. At all hours of the day and night peo- ple have' been noticed walking to and fro in front of the house sizing up the surroundings. Many have also been noticed walking around the house, in order te get a better view, The house is set back some dist- ance from the street. There is a fine lawn, and a cement walk run- ning into the front door. The build- ing itself is a typical farm house. There is a double-decked portico on one side while on the other side there is a platform with a pump in the centre of it. Up till Thursday nigh'! there was ay ~ign in the #ront window, "Dr. (. K. Robinson." Now. however, this sign has disappeared, relatives of the missing doctor having remov- ed it when they were looking over some of his belongings. All the doors have been locked, and the place has every appearance of be- | friends gathered ing deserted Several old packing cases, and some cordwood sticks are piled up near the back door. One lone and lonesome looking cat was found sitting on the plat- form of the house when a Whig re- | presentative went to see the house | yesterday. No person was around to be questioned, but it is altogeth- er likely that the cat 'belonged to the missing doctor. The poor little thing was crouched in among some vines running along the platform, ! but scampered off like a shot when the reporter stopped to make a fuss over him. Afterwards some person said the cat belonged to the young | doctor, who is now being sought by! the provincial police. | Much interest, of course, has been | centred in the cellar of the house | where the body of Miss Yorke was | found. The body was bur'ed at the | rear of the house. The «cellar 3 | led into three compartments. The known as the furnace rgom, s situated at the front of the hoise Next to it is the "fruit cellar," and back of it is a good sized area for the storing of coal and wood. It was in this latter place the body was buried. Many of the people who visited the house out of curiesity wanted to se the spot in the cellar where the body was found, but they have been disappointed. The back door leading to the cellar has been locked, ever since the body was re- moved. Before that a constable! stood guard on the door. { Tamworth has not yet been able to settle down to its normal condi- tion. Sinee July 9th, the morning after Miss Yorke suddenly disap- peared the village has been in a great state of excitement. Very little 'business has been done. The Yorké case has been in the lime-| light continually. "It has killed, business in this place," one traveller remarked to the Whig. "All week I have bgen trying to do sonte business here, but it has been hard to drum up any I guess I'll have to make my next jump, and then come back to the place later on. Miss Yorke Popular. "She gs a fine girl, always had a | smile, and I guess that is how she came to be given the nick-name, "Happy." This was the way in which one résident of the village explained to a Whig representative when he made enquiries about the young woman. The Whig man was all ov- er the village, and he failed to hear anything but warm words of praise for Miss Yorke Everybody ap- peared to like her. Although her home was a\mile and a quarter from the village, she spent a good deal of her time in the village, and in 'his way got acquainted. Blanche Yorke was borm on a farm, and as a school girl was rug- ged and healthy. Life in the open air was responsible for this, Good health made her jovial and happy, and thus it was that she had many friends. When a little girl she visit- d in Kingston a great deal, but of late years she had not been in King- ston a great deal. Leaving school she took up the trade of dressmak- Ing and liked the work. She had worked for many people in and round Tamworth and during the last Tew weeks many tributes have een paid to her worth. STITT CLAIMS SOLD. A Former Renfrewite Sells Valuable Holdings.
