Pirate Treasure.

The period fruitful above all others to
the Gmaginary) treasure seekers is that
of the bold buccaneers, Of the Spanish
galleons charged with bullion and Of the
treasure fleets that were the choicest
prey of the gallant sea rover.
Pirate or buccaneer, he had some IA
vorite haunt about Key West or among
the islands of the Spanish main-some
cave filed with booty which one day he
hopes to transfer in safety to his native
Devon. But ship heaves in sight-it
is a Spanish man-of-war-and such a
contest ensues as has inspired the popu-
lar muse of the sailors s'shanty.''
There is an end of the pirate and his
crew, but the secret deposit remains as
a prize for some future adventurer. Or
it may be that the buccaneers are only
shipwrecked, and that one of the crew
escapes with the fragment of an old
chart on which is marked the exact po-
sition of the buried treasure. The sub
iect leaves plenty Of play for the imag-
ination, and, although often worked up
in fiction, has always kind of freshness
about it, with SAVIOR of truth and fact,
for doubtless such hoard does some
where exist, If we could only find it.

Depew's Corpse Story.

Chauncey M. Depew told the follow
ing story at banquet in New York:
A classmate of mine, a preacher, was
located in a spirituahstic neighborhood,
and the leader of the spiritualists' band
died. His next friend came to see the
clergyman, and saids eve have some
thing of the old Puritan spirit left,
though we have renowned it in our
practice, and we want our leader buried
by Christian ceremonial. Will you at
tend?" My friend, the clergyman, con-
sented in the best spirit of Christian
charity. He gave out the hymn. read a
passage of Scripture and made such re-
marks as he conscientiously could,
whereupon the wife Of the dead spirit
ualist rose and said that she had COM
munication from her husband.
That critical spirit tore the eulogium
to pieces, ripped up the Scripture quoted
and denounced the hymn. The surviv-
ing leader of the spiritualist band came
to the clergyman and said: eve beg
your pardon. We had no idea that our
leader would come back here and act in
this way, and we hope you will forgive
u.s." "My friend" the clergyman said,
81 will forgive you, because it is the
first time in the many ministrations that
have had of this kind in this parish
that l have ever been sassed by the
corpse. New York World.

A Clever Cat.

There is large Maltese cat making its
headquarters at the Seventh police pre-
cinct station that is bound to go on rec
ord as the smartest feline known. Like
all other cats it delights in capturing
sparrows, but unlike other cats it has
never been known to let bird get away
that it made up its mind to catch. Lieu
tenant Thompson is authority for the
statement that the cat, perched on the
cornioe of the building, made leap of
twenty-five feet into tree and caught
a sparrow. The lieutenant has also
watched the cat while bird catching and
has counted nine sparrows carried to a
spot, and after the hunt was over de-
youred one by one.
A peculiar trait Of the cat is that there
is but one man who reports at the sta
ton that she will make friends with,
and he is Patrolman Rowland. When
he is on night duty the cat will follow
him from the time he goes on duty until
relieved the next morning. All the dogs
in the Newburg region have encountered
the cat on several occasions, and when
she is in sight the CANNES take the other
side of the street.-Cleveland Press.

Now He Feels Better.

A Woodward avenue man, who likes
his joke and his good living, hasn't been
feeling well lately, and one day last
week he went to see a physician. The
doctor felt his pulse, looked at his
tongue and became thoughtful.
'Um-er," he said, "do you eat before
going to bedf"
.'Well, yes, usually"
''Of course you do. I was sure Of
that. The symptoms are very evident.
You'll have to stop it,
"Entirely?' asked the patient quietly.
The doctor became thoughtful again.
'sUm-er," he said slowly; "about how
much do you eat, and about how long
after it before you go to bed:"
e'That depends somewhat, doctor"
and the patient looked serious II usu-
ally eat three meals, and they are scat
tered along between s in the morning
and at night"
Then the doctor made few tropical
remarks and said, 1.-TWO dollars, please"
