Lucky Black Cats.

"Get black cat to like you, though,
and you can tackle anything on earth and
make 1t CO." says person Of experience,
whose words are reported in the Chicago
Mail
"I'll bet that the men who have made
big fortunes out of nothing had black
cat in the house. Yes, sir.
II knew young fellow who was in
love-in over his head-and didn't know
enough to play it easy. It was his first
offense. and he wasn't posted. His girl
was a thousand miles away, and he used
to write her letterS-three Of EN- would
make book.
lone evening black cat walked into
his Office just like he owned the place,
and sized up everybody Then it came
to my young lover and just climbed up
on his knee while he was writing, cud-
died down and commenced to sing. It
was an operate cat, and sang like a
prima donna. 1t kind of pleased the
young fellow. and he petted it.
AFTER that 1t used to come around
and sit on his knee every evening, while
he wrote to his girl, and the way that
girl warmed up was amazing. She was
sort Of indifferent before, but she became
terribly affectionate as soon as the black
cat came into the game. But the blamed
young clown didn't do anything for the
cat but pet it. \ cat can't live on get
ting its back stroked, SO it left one day
and didn't come back. Well, the girl
froze up again and married the man who
figures in the novels-A. Mother.
"This is true story. I'll swear to it.
But if you're charitable, you won't ask
me how know it, cause I'm little ten

There's a saloon over on West Mad

looked pretty dingy.

GETTING EVEN WITH HIM.
The Parsons Bad HAIR Cutting Very APPLY
Rebuked-An Improved Crop.

The Parsons Bad Hair.Cutting Very APPLY
Rebuked-An Improved Crop.
Away down in Maine. in region where
the usages remain as primitive as they
are anywhere in the United States, there
is an aged parson who performs not only
the ordinary clerical duties, preaching to
the people of the district and marrying
and burying them, but also turns an
honest penny by cutting their hair on
occasion.
The old parson isn't exactly an artist
in this line. and Is distressingly absent
minded, but there Is no barber anywhere
in the neighborhood, and nobody there
cares much about q Parker House cut,
anyway.
One day Lie Jones. an old codger and
jack at all trades Of the neighbOrhood,
came to the parson to get his hair cut,
and the parson, who was evidently medi-
tating too deeply his next Sundays SER
mon to note what he was doing, cut the
hair in most phenomenally ragged and
irregular style.
In some places he had shorn the hair
down to the scalp, and In others left 1t
almost untouched, SO that when he had
finished his absent-minded task his sub
ject's head had weird and unkempt
look that was wonderful to behold.
"What shall pay ye, parson" he
asked.
80, come and NOW the hazel brush
out back of the house tomorrow" said
the parson.
When Lie got home his wife ex-
claimed:
a-doing?'
"Gittin' my hair cut" said Lie.
Laws me, II the parson didn't do
purity job this time" said she, "then
there amt no truth in revelationT'
Next day the parson had funeral to
attend to, and when he got home he
found the man whose hair he had cut the
day before just leaving the place.
He had moved the hazel bush so that
In one spot thetops had just been moved
OFF, in another it was cut half way down.
In another moved to the ground, and In
another torn up by the roots. 1t was
the sorriest-looking field that anybody
ever saw.
Why, declared" said the parson.
"What have you been doing2"
"Mowin' the hazel" said Lie.
"Mowin' it? You've been manslin'
it, said the parson.
Lie simply took off his hat, and pre-
sented his chaotic crown to the parsons
gaze
"Well. well,' said he; "did I do
that? Well. come into the house, and
I'll cut it for you"
The parson did the best work that he
could this time, considering the havoc
he had made the day before, and when
he had finished Lie Jones took up his
bush scythe again and-went home

Bernhardt a a SwOrdswOman.

Gaceta Ofcial, Mexic
By tue latest accounts from the Ar
gentine Republic we learn that the
great artistic, Sarah Bernhardt, has CIV
en- an exhibition (asalto) in the fencing
circus of Buenos Ayres and that the
elite OF Argentine society crowded
thither for the purpose Of witnessing
and admiring her dexterity. A pupil
in Merignac, it seems that she has been
receiving lessons for long time, but
never before did she consent to take up
the sword. except in the presence of q
small number of friends who assembled
in the saloon of her former residence,
Rue de tortuny, Paris. In Buenos
Ayres she has not feared to attack the
best swordsmen of the city, and the
press Is unanimous in its opinion regard
ing the correction and attitude Of the
great artistic IN delivering her attacks.
One of these exhibitions was especially
notable, inasmuoh as Sarah entered the
lists with the crack swordsman of
Buenos Ayres. But the artistic finished
by disarming him. The agility that
was displayed in this attack, which last
ed for q long time, will not soon be for
gotten by the Argentines who witness
ed for the first time trial of skill be-
tween a man and woman.

A Remarkable Operation.

There is silver in the flesh of Robert
McGill. A little wire of that metal neatly
inserted and hidden under the skin of
his leg enables him 10 readily walk the
streets with an injury that has invari-
ably, made cripple for life of other VIC
Tins, This was accomplished through
onetof the most remarkable operations
in the history of surgical skill. 1t has
lust been successfully completed at the
Homeopathic hospital, 1t is without
parallel in the medical records and
goes to prove that fractured knee Joints
NAV not be followed by absolute stiff
ness.
Robert McGill, the patient on whom
the operation has been performed, is n
colored man. Some time since when in
the employ of j. j. House, Of this city,
he was walking up some steps at the
entrance of the Freehold bank. He
slipped. falling on one of the steps with
both knees. He was taken to the
Homeopathic hospital. where it was
found that portion of his right knee
cap was fractured and the tendon of his
left knee broken. The surgeons at the
hospital resolved upon new departure
of treating such cases SO as to prevent
the usual stiff joints. An incision about
two inches square was made just above
each knee The ends of the tendons
were gathered and fastened to curved
silver wire, which was inserted. Straps
were attached to the ends of the wire
and bound round the soles of the pa
TENTS feet. His legs were kept abso-
lutely stiff and this kept the tendons
and knee-joints at rest, The ends of
the tendons were also brought in con-
tact with each other.
1t was an experiment., and all the ply
sicians in the hospital took extreme in
terest IN the development of the case in
consequence. Its was. discovered, how
ever, that the venture was gong to be
successful. Ihe tendons soon connect
ed around the wire and the fractures
healed up strongly. So much did the
injuries improve that after few weeks
McGil was able to use his legs with great
freedom. The joints and tendons con-
tlnued to get. stronger and few days
ago Mc1ill considered himself strong
enongh to leave the hospital and resume
work as a team driver. His knees are
not stiff and the physicians are conf
dent that in short time he will be able
to walk with almost rs much liberty as
he ever did.
When leaving the hospital one of the
surgeons presented McGil with cane
TO assist him in walking. On Saturday
he met the surgeon and said: ''God
bless you, doctor. don't need the
cane now, but when die l mean to
have it placed in my coffin beside my
body. IL Psttsbnrg (Pa.) Commercial

The Future Of Sugar Cane.

Field and Farm.
The little agricultural display and the
immense horticultural exhibitit at the
Manufacturers Exposition in Denver
this month have had the effect of reas-
suripg our faith in the possibilities of
this country. And we are glad to see
that Colorado farmers are beginning to
appreciate the importance of DIVERSE
fed farming and will probably try more
experiments next year than ever before.
tits not in expositions alone that the
results are to be seen in their most fiat
tering phase The seasons work has
been especially encourgaring to the far
mer himself All other crops have
done well. But it is our belief that
there is one crop of vast possibilities for
Colorado to which but little attention
has as yet been paid, and that is sor-
ghum cane, which can be grown with
success wherever corn will grow
II the experiments the government Is
making at Fort Scott, Kansas, in the
manufacture of sugar from sorghum
cane shows that it can be done protita
bly, on large scale, sorghum growing
will rapidly develop into one of the
most important industries of the state.
Though sugar making may not for
many years become an industry of our
own state, the cultivation of sorghum
cane and the manufacture OF syrup in
quantities sufficient to entirely exclude
glucose syrup from our markets, can
from this time forward be made very
important source of wealth to the far
mer3.
One Kansas farmer who cultivated $50
acres OF cane for the use of the govern
ment works, averaged ten tons to the
acre and twenty ght bushels Of seed TO
which he received prices that left him
good profit above all expenses. A
houri is made from sorghum seed said to
be superior to the finest buckwheat flour
which always commands a good price.
If the farmers of this county in plan
ming their crops for next year would
put sorghum cane on their list, small
mill for working it up could be obtain
ed at little expense by clubbing togeth-
er if by no other way, besides the cane
makes the best of fodder for milch
COWS.
Sugar cane grows luxurlantly in the
counties over on the western slope and
it will thrive in the broad valley of the
Arkansas, and the many smaller val
leys south of that stream.
