"SLIM jim" AND Hrs "PAL."-A
few days since two men, recently
from the East, happened to make the
acquaintance of "Slim jim" and
another gambler, and were robbed of
their money in the usual way. Last
Friday the men were coming up
from San Francisco on the passenger
train, and when short distance this
side of Stockton they discovered Jim
and his "pal" in one of the cars,
and went for them. The gamblers
took to their heels and, though the
train was running at good rate OF
speed, jumped off and escaped the
proposed punishment. Saturday the
same men left Sacramento, Eastward
bound, on the freight train. At Ar
cade, who should board the train but
Jim and his comrade. AS they en-
tered the train mutua, recognition
took place, and the "sports !" fled
through the car, climbed over several
freight cars, closely pursued by their
victims, the train men and passen-
gels looking on astonished, and
finally performed their feat of the
day before, jumping from car and
performing innumerable somersaults,
such lively evoluions nearly jerking
their heads off.

TUcKAHoE CATS. - Down in
Tuckahoe, N. j., there is q man
named Simpson, who had q fiat
roof on his house covered with
tin, The roof got to leaking badly,
and it happened to occur to Mr..
Simpson that it would be a good
thing to cover tue surface with the
material out OF which concrete
payements were made, "to make it
all tight and nice" said Simpson.
A man was accordingly engaged,
and he covered the tin with con-
crete to the depth of three or four
inches.
The curse of Tuckahoe is cats.
In warm weather millions assemble
and hold ratification meetings and
rehearsals and general synods out
in the back yards and on the roofs.
In Tuckahoe that summer the heat
was unusually intense, and Mr..
Simpson was exceedingly annoyed
by the animated discussions of the
cats in his neighborhood. The
more he "shooed" them and flung
old boots at them, the more they
yelled. Night after night it con-
tinued to grow more terrific, and
day after day Mrs. Simpson OBJ
served that the mysterious cater
wauling continued during all the
hours of the daylight. Simpson
hadn't boot jack or blacking
brush, or rolling pin or cologne
bottle left to throw at them.
At last one moonlight night, the
uproar got to be so outrageous
that Simpson arose from his bed
and determined to know what all
this growing meant anyhowl 1t
appeared to him that the noise
came from the top of the house.
He went up into the garnet and put
his head out of the trap-door.
There he found one hundred and
ninety-six cats stuck fast knee deep
in the concrete, which had been
softened by the heat. Some OF
them had been there four days.
The minute they caught sight of
Simpson the whole one hundred
and ninety-six doubled up their
spines, rufiled their back hair,
snaked their tails and gave one
wild, unearthly yowl, which shock
ed Simpsons nerves so much that
he dropped the trap-door and fell
down the step-ladder on the head
OF Mrs. Simpson, who was stand
ing below, dressed in thing with
a frill on it, and armed with
palm-leaf fan and bed-slat, deter
mined to protect Simpson till
death.
Mr.. Simpson has since sold the
house to man who makes sausages
and fur tippets. He keeps the con-
crete soft and sticky all the year
round by means of fires in the garret,
and it is whispered around Tuckahoe
that his actual gains average forty
dollars night.-[Max Adler in "To-
Day."

CURE FOR EARACHE.- There is
scarcely any ache to which children
are subject, SO bad to bear and diffi-
cult to cure, as earache. But here is
a remedy never known to fail. Take
a bit of cotton batting, put upon it a
pinch of black pepper, gather it up
and tie, dip it in sweet oil, and in
sert into the ear. Put flannel band
age over the head to keep it warm.
1t will give immediate relief.

The long dreary winter has necessitated
extra exertions upon the part OF much
talked of class of our community in order
to satisfy their pressing necessities. Food
Is necessity and recognizing this fact as
a law they put forth every exertion, espe-
eially at night, TO comply with its provis-
ions. Chickens, gradually, III some cases,
disappear and are carried to that silent re-
treat from whence no feathered bird re-
turns. To save these much talked of citi-
zens trouble we would inform them that in

cessary for them to stop at the chicke II
