Milwaukee, Oct. 29.-Not only is 1t
true, as stated in these dispatches
Saturday, that John D. Rockefeller IS
interested in the reorganization OF
the Wisconsin Central, but it Is
learned ON good authority that he has
over 100000 already invested in
the securities of that company. Mr..
Gates, an eastern gentleman who is q
member of the bond committee of the
Central reorganization movement, Is
agent and representative in that as
in other matters of Rockefeller, and
whatever Gates does in connection
with the reorganization will be done
solely for the Standard oil magnate
and ON his suggestion. 1t was hint
ed that the reported delay in the re
organization of the Central is in the
interest of the new men who have
been brought into the Central railroad
recently and that next spring the rea-
son for the delay will be better under
stood and that Rockefeller will be-
come one of the chief factors in the
property and operation of the road.
The purpose of the delay, it is said,
is to entirely eradicate certain unde-
sirable features and factions from any
say in the property. Probably with
Rockefeller at the head of the affairs
in the executive board the property
will be taken out of the receivers
hands and operated for all interested
in it.

One Of the members Of the Bull.

won't you please tell me what OPP.
means. | seen it published
on a programme of a concert after
the names of some Of the pieces
they played.
Your friend
JOSEPH KRoUTs.
Yes, dear child, we will tell
you. OPP. in the sense you mean,
is an abbreviation OF the word
Opera, is from the Latin and is
pronounced "Ob-pay-ruh,' with
the accent on the "pay."
You generally have to pay well
to hear an opera well rendered 4,
unless you are member of the
press, under which condition you
flake yourself in on comp"
1t means, literally, ooorh. Fer
instance: if Mr.. Chopin's or Mr..
Wagner's (HiIoese French, "Show-
pang' and "Vogneer') 95th pro-
duction were to be played at a
concert, the bill of fare would
read, Chopin, Op 95-Sopgs
without sense" or something like
that. Seer
Op., as used on the Bowery, a
fashionable portion OF New York
City, U. S. A., signifies Open
heimer's beer.
Herr Oppenheimer does not
make this beer, which is concoct-
ed of equal parts Of pale ale, sour
wine. yeast and sewer gas, but it
is called that in order to sell it
under an attractive cognomen. II
you ever visit New York, my un-
sophisticated infant, we would
not advise you to experiment with
this beverage, as it is a matter OF
history that no one, not bern and
reared within the limits Of the
Bowery, ever imbibad a jagload of
OPP and appeared again clothed
in either his right or left mind,
'Op., with an apos,rophe before
it, is also q word in the CCc'roy-
astical dialects of the E'rly
(coster) English Of East London.
Elk: 'Op., skip hand jump. on,
again, means opposite; as: We
are people of brains; you are op.
There are many other uses Ia
which this handy little word is
put, but we will postpone further
discussion of it's multifarious
phases until you have absorbed
the information already given, foi
which you will please send us
two dollars. When you have done
50, come again, as Charlie Camp

THOUGHTFUL OLD ROSY.



How IN Affccttnnato Family Hare Com
forted lts Little Mastes VIE
Perhaps a good deal Of the Listeners
personal love for horses Is trnceable back
TO single incident Of his early child
hood. At the age Of six he once mount
cd Old Rosy (the term "old' at that
time was merely one Of endearment.
for the mare was not as old rs the boy),
to ride TO a neighborA The mare was
fat nnd sleek, and SO was the boy; her
back was so round that her spine was q
little hollow instead of projection
On this glossy round back was no sad
die, not even blanket; the fat little
boys short legs simply stuck out into
the air on either side. The greater
part of the Journey had been achieved,
and the boy md mare were returning
homcward, when In going down o
slope, Rosy inadvertently began to trot
and the boy, having no kind Of anchor
age, began to slide forward upon the
mares peck. Upon that he let go tho,
bride, hugged the neck, and screamed.
Not knowing quite what this perform;
ance meant, Rosy continued TO trot
placidly down the hill, and the boy
continued to slide. Doubtless she
thought it wls SOME new kind of boys
play. At last he slid clear over her
head and rolled upon the ground The
mare must have eased the fall for him
by ducking her neck slowly, and she
certainly kept her feet entirely clear
of him He simply rolled into the ditch
by the side of the road, quite unhurt,
boo-hooing Justify.
And then comes the pretty part OF
the story. The young mare did not go
on ten steps after the small boy rolled
off her neck, but stopped, turned back,
came down to the screaming child,
nosed him affectionately, and, as he
will swear to his dying day, comfortcd
him as best she could. She showed him
that the bride reins were hanging
down within his reach. Under such an
influence the boy Of six--which is an
age, it is scarcely needful to say, when
few Boston boys are intrusted with the
management of q horse-stopped weep
ing, got up, took hold Of the bride, and
reaectingly led the mare home.-Bos-

and applause from the audience, she
thought to herself that if they could win
cheers and hand-clappings, cat could
too. So sho made up her mind to try
an experiment But she did not tell any
body. One night, when there WIS q
fashionable concert In the hall, and
several beautiful women and handsome
men were taking part in the entertain
ment- pussy surprised everybody by
appearing suddenly In a side entrance
and proceeding leisurcly to the foot
lights, where she set up O most un-
musical ''meowing." The audience at
first began to smile, then to laugh
The singers scned amused. but, as
they were not supposed to laugh ut all,
they had hard time to keep from
smiling. The tenor stopped short on q
high note, the soprano hid her face be-
hind her music score, and the basso
looked with profundo displeasure upon
the Intruder. But pussy did not move.
She knew her rights, and was de-
termined to assert them How to get
her off the stage without creating
ridiculous scene, was the problem that
vexed the singera The stage manager
was appealed to, and he saw that there
was only one way to do It. He wore q
swallowtan coat, and he had clean,
white shirt bosom in which beautiful
diamond sparlsled. His hair was creased
to perfection, and his mustaches were
waxed so that they stuck out at each
side Of his face He took nah ognny
cane and walked boldly out upon the
stage to catch the cat
Pussy saw him coming, but waited
for the cane to get near her. Then she
darted to the rear OF the stage, be-
tween the exits A recess was taken
by the singers, and oil eyes were fast
ened upon the handsome stage mana
ger and the agile cat The cat had the
advantage
"Here, pussy, pussyi" cooed the stage
manager, but pussy would not obey
him He approached her and made
sudden dive for her, but she bounded
lightly over his shoulder and was in an
other part of the stage The manager
Redeemed, the singers laughed audibly,
but the audience roared. Pussy was
nightly pleased with her first efforts
to entertain. She had made hit and
she knew It.
It became necessary then to abandon
all attempts to appear dignified, and
the stage manager and the male'slng-
ers made united attack upon poor
pussy, who, surrounded by superior
force, had to surrender. She was car
ried triumphantly off the stage to the
cellar, where she was locked up, and
the concert was resumed
Since that eventful night Of her debut
pussy hps managed to escape from the
cellar and appear Unexpectedly In other
performances Her ambition TO shine
as o star, however, Is not appreciated,
