A gentleman living at Auburn, ILL.,,
until quite recently was the very un-
happy owner of a cat whose happiness
was never complete save when stealing
something to eat from off the dinner
table. He tried coaxing and then
beating, but all to nopurpose. Finally
in an evil moment the idea came to him
that perhaps a little sudden surprise
would tend to make the feline mend
her ways; and the more he thought of
it the more he became convinced that
that was what she needed. At last,
after carrying out several schemes in
his mind, he decided to put some dyn-
amite into saucer of milk, which he
did leaving, it on the dinner table. He
then stepped out on the porch where he
could see the fun from a distance, ana
waited. He had not long to wait, for
no sooner had pussy been left to her
self than she sprang up on the table
and began to get on the outside of the
milk. Softly the man laughed to
himself, but his joy was of short dur
alton, for suddenly something burst and
heknew no more. When be regained his
senses few hours later he found him
self about quarter of mile from
home in a cornfeld, with only a rock
on to cover his nakedness. He tried
to remember what had happened,
but couldn't until he arrived at the
gate where his home once stood. All
that was left to tell the tale was large
hole in the ground, and piece of cal
skin sticking to tree near by.-Pec6

non-producing oranges the Bergamot
is really the best. Its essence is the
softest, the most exquisite. The color
of the essence is clear green, with
yellow as it gets older. 1t is the heav-
lest of all the perfumes of the orange
flower, and the most evanescent, unless
care is taken to change the flask or
other vessel from time to time, when it
