Beau Hickman's Secret.

Hassler, of the Ienterior Department, who
enjoys the reputation of being one of
the best story-tellers in public life, "you
all remember dear old Beau Hickman,
the notorious beat of ante-bellum days
| shall not soon forget my first meeting
with him. 1t was in the early days of
the war. One day crowd of soldier
boys, myself among the number. stepped
into the rotunda Of Wizards Hotel. The
first person We met was Beau, faultlessly
dressed and serene, smiling as usual The
boys gathered about him, and began ply
ing him with questions.
- Tell us, Beau said one of the young
sters. how you manage to live without
working"
All I said Bean, drawing himself up
stiiily, that's secret, and | don't tell
my secrets without being paid for
them"
He paused a moment and coolly
counted us over, and said:
There are Just sixteen of you. If you
will chip in a quarter apiece, | will tell
YOU
In less than thirty seconds, sixteen
shining 25-cent pieces were laid in Beau,
hand He satisfied himself ttat the
number was correct, and then, sliding
them deity into his trousers pocket, he
faced about, and as he stalked majestical.

YOU wanted 10 know, gentlemen, how

He Only Wanted to See.


Judge Gerald Cummings is respected
resident of Fort Worth, Texas, rotwith-
standing that he is immensely stout and
member of the legal profession. He
tried many anti-fat remedies to reduce
his weight, but without any satisfactory
result. He finally went to the Ho;

joy he lost considerable adipose tissue
and returned to Fort Worth in most
happy frame of mind. He thought and
talked of nothing else except his loss OF
flesh.
He went TO market one morning re-

Cats on the Farm.

Cats ought to have an honored place
on the farm, but too often they have no
place at ALL This is because they are
kept at the house. fondled by the pet
loving children, and fed by the kind
hearted women until they become lazy
and worthless. The farmer csteems cats
less highly than dogs, but the former are
sometimes of the greater value to him.
Barn cats should rarely be allowed to
come in the house, and never be fed
there. All they need is plenty of milk
compel them TO get the rest of their liv-
ing, and they will find it about the barn,
granaries, cribs. sheds and in the fields
A good mouser is worth ten cents per day
about a granary, crib or barn. Mice not
only destroy grain, but make it filthy for
stock; they nibbie sacks and implements
and do much other IN schief. A good
cat will destroy large rats as well as the
young ones. We have an old Maltese
Tom which gets his living by catching
ground mice in the orchard and garden.
and is therefore valuable cat At the
season, when barns, granaries and cribs
are filled eat is ,ioubly useful. Give
Tom and Tabby fair trial, and you will
always keep cats.
