WILDCATS No MATCH FOB THREE Boys:
The Gllroy poultry yard at Msplewood,
n. Y, having recently been thinned out by
the visits If thief OF some kisd Mack
Glroy, aged IA. his brother Tom, sgad 12
and their brother Will, aged 10. lay low the
other das to see If they could discover who
or what the maursuder WAS They discov-
cred the thief to be big wildcat, which
came boldly into lhe yard while they were
watching, selzed q chicken and made off
With T.. The boys follow wed 1t to the woode,
armed only with heavy club. which Mack
carried. They came upon the wildcat half
mile In the woods, and 1t ran up small
tree ald crouched on limb. The boys ad-
vapoed fesrlessly, aud we're discussing hcw
to best attack the despoi.er Of their poultry
flock, when the wildcat itself assumed the
offensive and sprang from the tree straight
for Mack, who was the nearest. The boy
wes equal to the emergency, end met the fe-
rocious enime! with blow from his club
while the cat was still In the air. The blow
stretched the wildcat stunned on the ground.
The instant 1t fell ithe boys, Tom and Will,
Jumped on Ii and stamped the life out OF 1t.
They carried the csrcass home In triumph,
to the surprise and pride Of their parentp,
who were not aware that the boys had fol-
lowed the dangerous beast. Twelve Wild
cats have been killed in that part OF Sullivan
county since Christmas. but this one was
the biggest one of the lot. Its claws were
oVer an inoh in length.

Mrs. Simeon is the widow OF itch Trini-

his head shaved with the exception OF a

Louis Globe Democrat
One great objeet q Doctor should have
in view Is % sure with as few doses As

There seems little 70 choose between

take medicine regularly, and IL is often
impossible 70 persuade an apparently
rationalminded patient that a cure has
been effected, that no more medicine Is
needed and that nothing but good diet
and careful habits are required TO build
up the constitution
A number Of doctors save themselves
from falling from grace by prescribing

but those who pride themselves in dis
posing Of cases by aid Of dozen doses
or less ssldom attain any great popa-
larity.
The often quoted and much Wanted
practice in China Of paying q physician
while his patient is well and stopping
his pay during sickness could never be
introduced sueceasfully into this coun-
try, because 90 many people who are
perfectly well are prepared TO file afa-
davits that they are dangerously sick,
that no doctor under the China regime
would be able To earn his board.

WRESTLING A GIFT.


Whist . Professional Lady whistles says
About the Art.
Mira Alice Shaw, the celebrated
American whistler, has this to say Of
her peculiar gift: "A clever whistler
must be born, not made. The natural
gifts necessary are . good ear, . sound
pair Of lungs. . favorable formation of
the cavity Of the mouth, regular teeth
and q Aexibility and agility in the
orbicular and buccinatory muscles. The
strain on these muscles are great.
After IN hours practice I have been
compelled to apply electricity to my
lips to get them into . normal condi-
ton breathe like . singer, from the
diaphragm. and whistle a. any artist
would sing. Trilling is to me As easy
and natural as ordinary speech 1t is
the notes which must be long sustained
that ara most difficult My compass Ia
two and three-fourths octaves. never
whistle on an inward breath. My
notes are always directed outward
The higher the note the closer my lips;
the lower the note the larger the orifice-
The possibilities of whistle are almost
unlimited. The art is at present in it's
infancy. phrase music as do the most
careful singers. During my first per
formances my lips became so dry that
it was difficult to produce clear, liquid
tone. l now use an ointment which
obviates that difficulty. practice an
hour-sometimes more-daily, and this
has had a doubly beneficial effect It
has not only EXCHANGED my proficiency
as a whistler; it has caused my chest to
expand four inches in the last three
wears"
