Painting a Cat Red.

A policeman on the North Side
is in a dilemma, says the Chicago
Tribune. He is between two fires
and reported the case to his cap
tain, who is having some fun with
him, although the bobby doesn't
know ii. The captains story is as
follows:
"The officer sent me word that
he wanted to see me on private
business and of course / told him to
come right in. He closed the door
and stated his case. On his beat
are deviIish boy and a young
lady, each member of q first
class, high toned family. The young
lady's weakness consists i'm taking
in all the stray kittens that come
about her home. She has brought
up several successfully and those
that have died under her treat
ment have received careful sepul-
ture. A cunning Maltese was her
latest and she was unusually at
tentive to it. The boy doesn't
like cats. Boys never do. The only

was that here was his chance to
make his mark. Singularly enough,
at that moment the Maltese pet of
the young lady was prowling SLOW

cat the discovery of the paint and
the resolution to do something
rushed on the boy simultaneously.
1t is not likely that he turned any
logical plan to perfect his scheme.
He wouldn't have been boy if he
had. But if he had it would have
been something like this: If / am
going to make success of this
thing I'll take the cat in with me-
He seized the cat and began to
streak it with red. The job didn't
suit him, 50 he chucked it into the
pot of paint up to its ears, pulled it
out and turned it loose. 1t struck
for home, of course. The young lady
had the usual contortiOns which
sight of that sort would naturally
produce. She would never have
know the cause of it, however, if
the boy hadn't met her one day and

Numismatists Delighted Over a Valuable
Find of Rare Old Specimens.
Odd coins have recently been un-
earthed in several parts of tho State, in
such quantities that New York numis-
matists have had their attention attract
ed this way. The soil of this old State
seems to have stratum of old copper
and silver money under it. In the cellar
of the old Lester House in Ledyard has
been found an iron pot partially filled
with copper and silver pieces, all of last
century coinage. and worth no small
sum of money. They have been sent to
New York for appraisal. 1t is supposed
they were buried in the cellars more
than one hundred years ago. James S.
Cook, of Hartford, has found in the deep
and fertile sito of the Connecticut river
which forms the north meadows a gen.
uine old pine tree shilling" coined in
1862. Tho coin was in the shelving,
crumbling bank not threo feet from
where the river is noarly eating into the
meadow. The spot is known locally as
"Cap'n Cooks fishing place." where in
old timos, the seiners used to draw in
loads of bouncing shad and where the
colonists and later residents used to hold
tho old-fashioned fish fries" Long
handled frying-pans. fish, sliced potatoes
and onions and Santa Cruz rum were the
features of these jolly fcasts. The pres
once of the shilling there shows that
these carousals must have been in vogue
two centuries ago.
Edward Kennedy, of Windsor, has
found another OF the shillings in the
Garth. Windsor was one of tho oldest
settlements in the colonies. These
coins were struck by the Massachusetts
Colony to supply needed money, and
they are very rare. It is a fact of his
tory that tho man who coined them was
allowed ono in a hundred for his pay,
and that he became very rich. When
his daughter was married his wedding
present to her was her weight in shil-
ings. The coins are now sought for by |
'anciers, who pay large prices for them.

This Bank will hereafter keep
two sets of accounts; one with gen.

other with savings depositors-
those who wish to leave their
money for a specified time, or for

cent per annum.
The object of this department
is to encourage those who are de.

money by depositing it in a bank
where it will safely earn a moder-
ate rate of interest rather than in
cur the trouble, annoyance and
risk of loaning it, or the unprofta-

poses, this Bank has prepared and
