Sorry BE Kiokea the Cat.

A remarkable case Of hair turning gray in
one night is that OF James Cannavan, young
school teacher, living south OF Birdseye, Ind.

Louis Republic, they we're met several times
Dy large black cat which persisted each
time IN passing so close to him as to rub his
leg. He grew angry at last and expressed
MS mind very rudely, but Flaherty pleaded
mocklngly for the cat, saying loosely. You
don know but you shall be a cat in the next
llfe. Scarcely had these words leen ut
tered when the cat repassed and rubbed him
again. and without more ado he kicked IL
high in the air.
The young men proceeded toward their
parting place from which each had more

you going?'

In thunder are you doing here"
On comparing notes Cannavan found his
error and instead Of accepting an invitation
to go home with his friend started home

rade once more. This time he admitted being
OeWIdered, and requested his friend to ac-
company him to the place where they first
parted which Flaherty did When this point
was reached, they stood minute TO speak.
The cat appeared again! They began to in
Wardly curse the cat, each reading the others
thoughts in their silence. At this moment
voices were heard overhead near by.
The first voice was: .Oh, the blood"
The second: The earth is delugedl"
The third: Wool o. Ohu OH"
That last voice. said Flaherty. lis

a Boston Idea.

A young man in Boston has evolved an
idea. He thinks it should bring him 5000
or more within twelve months, besides
giving him almost as much notoriety as
Is enjoyed by Jo-io, the dog-faced boy
The young Bostonian is a club man who
for the next year, will be known as paul
Jones'" II is Mr.. Jones' idea to start
from his club room in Boston clothed only
in his supreme confidence in himself, and
without dollar in the world, and make a
trip around the world in one year and re-
turn to his starting point with 5000
which he shall have honestly acquired
during the trip. When the word "go'' is
given, Mr. Jones will stand in the club
rooms preciselyas he came into the world.

his work Should all the clubmen be in
an economical mood and throw him only
pennies, he might be under the necessity

calculates upon leaving Boston.
After leaving the club room he pro-
poses to hustle" at selling newspapers,

til he arranges to secure passage abroad.
He anticipates no trouble in working his
way through Europe, and says he will
arrive in San Francisco within eight
months in splendid shape Then he will
get dime museum manager to exhibit
him as freak, and thus secure money
for ticket to New York And while he
is on his way east he will work the news

original idea. New York goes
wild over man with an original idea, he
says, so when he gets there the city will
be tumbling over itself to see him, and he
will rake his 5000 together in short
while.

be carried out by the brother of the fell

A message OF cheer to the lovers true,
whose vows are so sweet and strong
A tribute OF praise to the-maid and youth
Who have loved each other long!
L praise them all-both great and small
BY Cupid's art beguiled, ~.t
But the love that is warm
And holds through the storm
Is the hearty love of a child!
1 look on societys giddy whirl.
It's beauty, and grace and wealth,
And wonder If all is true and good
If the bloom on the cheek is health
Then right or rude, l now conclude
With all their Praces mild,
That the love that is pure,
In this passion tossed world,
Is the Innocent love of child
In cellars and garrets the poor are housed.
Humanity cries are vain.
The world is sad with sorrows tear,
Overwhelmed with Its pain.
O sweat and toll of labors mofll
All here is sullen or wildl
But the love that is bright,
In this weary old world,
Is the cheerful love Of child
A friend Have you found him on earthf
For oft when your trust is placed,
The promise is only made for self
Like name in sand, effaced-
It's then aghast, you stand at last,
With faith all misapplied! .
But the love that is true
In this false. false world
Is the trusty love Of a child
o beautiful child In your simple trust
Contiding and true, greet.
Your innocent face upturned In glee
Tender kiss so pure and sweet,
Your warm bright love outpoured for me
In gentle stream so mildt
o the love that | crave
In this tickle, old world
Is the blessed love of a child

England Knocked Out.

An interesting little international affair
with the gloves, which ended in one
round, is reported to have occurred be-
tween representatives of England and
America in Washington a week or so ago.
The English representative was no less a
parsonage that Sir Julian Pauncefote the
ambassador from the court of St. james
TO this government, while America was
represented by "Prof" Crossley, an adept
in the art of pugilism, who instructs the
members of the Columbia Athletic Asso-
citation in the art of self-defense. Eng
land was knocked out.
The way the incident came about is
amusing. Sir Julian recently Joined the
athletic club, and became regular at
tendant for exercise and instruction.
A few days ago he entered the boxing
room of the gymnasium and proceeded to
go through the usual course of instruc-
tions with prof" Crossley as tutor.
During the rests the teacher and his dis
tinguished pupil discussed the approach
ing Corbett-Mitchell fight. Sir Julian, of
course warmly championed the cause Of
his fellow countryman, Mitchell, and ex-
pressed the belief that Charley" would
certainly knock out "Pompadour JIM if
he got so much as half a chance "Prof. -
Crossley, who is an American, thought
otherwise and so expressed himself.
Towards the close of the lesson the am
bassador remarked, "You just fancy that
you are Corbett and that 1 am
Mitchell, and let's see how it will
be-" The professor readily assented
And as he did so" says the Chicago
Tribune's report of the incident, "Sir
Julian let out his left and caught Cross
ley singing blow on the nose. That
was beauty, said Mr.. Crossley, trying to
smile through the tears that filled his
eyes as he tapped the big diplomat lightly
in return. Don't be afraid to hit me if
you can, said Sir Julian, with smile of
confidence upon his ruddy face, and then
he tapped the professor again and again
on the face and neck, apparently having
everything his own way. Finally the
professor led with his left and Sir Julian
threw up both hands to ward off the
blow, leaving fine opening for the pro-
fessor's right. The tutor could not re-
sist the temptation, and summoning a lit
tie extra driving power, he landed his
right glove squarely on the end of the
British ambassadors nose. The blood
flowed freely, and was wiped away by the
boxingmaster. who made the most profuso
apologies, and explained that he did not
mean to hit so hard"
The explanation and apology were ac-
cepted by the ambassador in sDortsman-
like spirit, and with an acknowledgment
of Americas superior prowess, in that in
stance, at least

Wilson Bill and the Unemployed.
From the Chicago Herald (DemN

In view OF all the facts it is extremely i'm
probable that more than 100000 OF the un-
employed are connected with the protected
industries. Probably half OF these may be
unemployed because OF the depression con-
sequent upon panic caused by the attempt
10 protect the silver interest. The other
hat are unemployed because it suits the
purpose OF their employers just now to bring
as strong a pressure as possible to bear upon
congress for the purpose Of defeating the
very moderate measure OF tariff reduction
Whlch Mr.. wilson's committee has reported
IN partial obedience 10 the viii OF the Amer
lean people as expressed in November 1892
The number necessarily unemployed nv
reason OF the threatened smashing OF pro.
tecuon is probably not one in hundred
the whole body OF those so occupied inclua-
ing the few temporarily displaced would be
vastly benefited by the complete smash
ing OF protection" which the Wilson bin
comes very long way short Of accomplish
ing.

The Dutch will make a desperate at

fall The state campaign will be begun
In the spring and kept red hot until fall.
The state convention will probably be
held in May, when candidates for COVER
nor, ieutenant-governor auditor, score
tary of state and two congressmen-at-
large will be nominated. A new state legis-
lature will also be chosen next fall, which
will elect successor to Senator Cameron.
1t is pretty well understood that Senator
Cameron means to succeed himself if he
can; hence, there being some strong OBJ
position to him, the legislative campaign
will be especially spirited. The election of
a senator to succeed Cameron will, by the
way, illustrate how far removed from the
people some Of the United States sena-
tors are. Cameron's term will expire
March 4, 1897. The legislature of Penn
sylvania meets once in two years. Its
last meeting was in June, 1898. Its next
will be in June, 1895, and the next in June.
1897, three months after the date on
which the new senatorial term will be-
gin. 1t will, therefore, be necessary for
the legislature of 1895, the members of
which will have been elected in 1894, to
elect the senator for the term beginning
in 1897; thus the new senator will enter
upon his term two years and five months
after the people have had an opportunity
to express themselves at the polls.
