; Our Friend the Cat
By, MIiVXIE MACKKUT
There-are some persona who appear
to think that the cat- is of no conse-.
quence and who" do not treat her with
.the kindness and the consideration "she
deserves.' 1 . The lSgryptlans,^. 3,ooo' years
ago, regarded 'the life : of a, cat highly.
Arabs also prized the animal and have
a' pretty tradition that .when the ; first
father' and! .mother went >, out; into the
desert alone -Allah gave .them two
friends; the" dog to defend them; . and
the eat to comfort them." In the body
of \ the dog - he : placed . the soul "of ;; a
brave man, and : ln .the body of tho ; cat
the : spirit' of a gentle woman.. ...
; At the present day the. value of. the
cat "as a ! useful and - pleasing . lnmate of
the home is . generally ' recognized, yet,
unfortunately, .there s are; still*' some
thoughtless and cruol, persons who in
lllct much, suffering on . this gentle,
patlont, useful. friend to mankind. .
Families '.so ny/ay and leavo the poor
cat, .perhaps with, little helpless kit
teua, to .Huff«r«atul die of, hunger and
negiect. *Woys-: forget their .manliness
and' lire : cowardly' enough ..to.' frighten
or Injure .the .helpless',' creature -'whom
thoy should", protect, and eo'v/n HtiU
et*o Buffering" cats nnd kittens on our
streetH and a 1 leys 1 and . still art) obliged
lo have societhss to. protect thtnv.. •
When all the world -has learned, to
•obey the beuutiful law of kindness,
then our four footed friends will- meet
with a bettor ; reward for their useful
nosa uiul devotion to man.

Our Blessed Flag
GEORGINA L. SCHLUETER
The American flag^ has \u25a0 so often
aroused emotions of loyalty nnil-pat
riotism within 'me that I have always
wanted to tell the Juniors about It, but
not until the editor so kindly made a
new section for uswhere we can write
upon, any/subject wo choose; did I en
deavor to 1 ''..write';, this letter.
r No' doubt, I hope;' or rather know,
that every ono anfl every Junior honors
arul -respects our- flag and , that he looks
at'lt proudly, glad that' he is an' Amer
ican, glad that he is in a free-country,
and above all glad that such a beauti
ful flag soars'* high above him. Every
one should'rgoek :to .protect the; flag; '•;
from',all- harm. If \u0084he, sees to, this, he/
can .congratulate* himself that he is
doing something" for, his 'country. /,
• In order , to protect our' flag,, ono need '
not necessarily be In' the' army or navy. : :
If *• you : chance ; to •seolt'-" being, 'abused.
In", any ;way, . Rfp.;tojts rescue. Save your I
flag: from all harm. It' may _\u25a0?
be 'in"; danger"-, of I. being- trampled .on. "'
Then l'lsJ your \u25a0 chance 1 to. rush.^forward •
and jsriatch" it from tho soil} and dirt
where, lt 'has fallen. " ,:,;.''\u25a0\u25a0 I: '
