The Apa of the Cat.

A member of the Hartford county bar,
in relating some "reminiscences of the
court in times gone by, told Of case
wherein one of the famous advocates of
that time had badgered and crowded a
witness until he lost his temper. The
witness incidentally said something
about cat, and the crafty lawyer seized
upon this as a means Of still further
worrying the witness.
How old was the cat?" asked the at
torney.
II don't know" was the answer.
''How old do you think she wasp
''lt was Tom-cat."
IL didn't ask about the sex of the cat,
l asked how old it was.''
'.You asked how old she was.''
''Well, how old WAS that catp'
II told you didn't know"
''Well, how old do you think?'
..Oh. can't tell.'
''You can't tell how old you think
she was"
Il tell you, don't know"
''Now," said the attorney. II want a
plain answer to plain question. How
old do you think that cat wasp
The witness looked straight at the ut
torney. whose shining bald head was
the most prominent feature of his fig
ure. and calmly said. 'Oh, cant guess
how old the cat1jvas. but she was old
enough to be hald-headed."
The lawyers ruddy face assumed =
deeper hue, the spectators and nlcm-
bcrs OF the bar Uttered, and even the
stern features Of the court relaxed into
smile at the answer which ended that
line Of cross-questioning Hartford
Times.

Woman's Work.

Sarah l.. Bolton, writing on "Wom-
ans Work. says in the Independents:
An Irish barrister with whom we tray
eled recently said: What blessing
that work for women is reputable in
America, as l hear that it is. I have
six daughters, and the struggle is great
to keep them until they are married."
l could have replied that. alas! l knew
families in America who would be quite
willing that a daughter should marry q
clerk in a dry-goods store. who would
be indignant if their son, for whom
they had high hopes, were to marry a
girl who was clerk in that same store.
1t would be pathetic. were it not pit
iful. to see scores of young men work
ing for sisters who are able TO care for
themselves. and would do so gladly did
public opinion favor it; or father
shaving for his daughters who might
save the gray from creeping SO fast in
TO his hair. Every woman, as well rs
man, is better developed in body and
mind by labor. She has more sympa-
thy with the workers. She fears to
obey superiors, and thus to control
those beneath her. She knows the
"oItu VI iuouey dIteT sHe h1S earned IL
herself. and if she marries will be more
saving Of what another earns for her.
She studies human nature and sees its
nobility amid its selfishness. She learns
to control circumstances, and not let
circumstances control her; and. when
this lnls been attained, she has found
out the secret of a happy life. Besides.
and perhaps almost above all other reas-
ons, If she learns to support herself, she
will not marry man she does not love
simply for home.

Cold in Central America,

The r.cent reports of the discovery

'My husband, ma'am," was the low
answer.
The woman was engaged, and did her

troubled the mistress of the house great

woman would call Charlie. and she
would hear her voice talking and laugh

one, but when she went into the room
there would be no one there. The water
was carried. the tubs all lifted into their
places, but the slight woman who wash
cd was the only person who was visible.
When the lady Of the house paid her she
said. '.Call your husband; would like
to see him."
''He wouldn't come. ma an" said the
woman simply No one ever sees him

in astonishment.

SENATOR TABOR's WEDDING.
A Statement from the Catholic Priest
who Performed the Ceremony.

nUSHtlgtOH POST,
Rev. DIR. Chappelle, pastor of st. Mat

that had he known or suspected that Sena-

not have Otficiated at their marriage. He
made what he thought a careful investi-

AYERS that he was misinformed by the
parties concerned. The Catholic Church,
Father Chappelle says, does not allow its
clergy to solemniZe marriages when either
party has been divorced.
Post reporter called upon Senator
Tabor at his rooms at Wizards last even
ing to ask him about DR.. Chappelles state
ment.
There is evidently some mistake" said
the Senator, frankly, ''fOr Father Chappelle
did not ask either Miss McCourt or myself
about it. If he had. we should have no

would have been no cOncealment on the
part of herself or father had the question
been asked. Her father, Mr.. McCOurt,
called upon Father Chappelle and arranged
for the marriage, and | have no doubt he
would have told him the facts had he
made any inquiry upon the subject. But
we will see what he has to saw"
He disappeared in an adjoining room.
