IN A TRAP.

In back kitchen premises of an
old lnanor-house, among hampers
and such like odds and ends, II cat
had a litter of kittens. They were
all removed but one, and as the
mother was frequently absent. a hen
began laying in hamper close by.
For time all things went well, the
hen sitting on her eggs aid the cat
nursing her kitten within few
inches of each other. The brood
were Matched utand almost at the
same time the old cat disappeared.
The chickens were allowed TO run
about on the floor for sake of the
warmth from neighboring Chin
ney, and the kitten was fed with a
saucer of milk, ETC., in the same
place, both feeding together fire.
quently out of the same dish. The
hen used to try to induce the kitten
to eat meal like the chicks, calling
to it and depositing pieces under its
nose in the most amusing way; fl
nally doing all in its power to in
duce the kitten to come, like chicks
under her wings. Tho result was
nothing but series of squalls from
the kitten, which led to its being
promoted from the back to the front
kitchen. where it was reared until
it was grown up. AT this time a
young terrier was introduced into
the circle, and after many back
risings and bad language on pussy's
part, they settled down amicably
and romped about the floor in grand
style. Eventually the terrier be-
came an inveterate rabbit-peacher,
killing young rabbits and bringing
them home, a proceeding to which
the cat gave an intelligent curiosity

Cost Of a Bale Of Cotton.

Mr.. John w. Starnes. one OF Tipton's
farmers, cultivated thirty-fve acres IN
cotton last year and made twenty-one
bales. The total cost, including rent,
feed of team, labor. picking, ginning.
hauling to market, etc. amounted to
$780, so. He sold his cotton in Memphis
and received S525-thus losing S125.50
on the years work. Mr.. Starnes places
his land rent at 81 per acre. which is en-
tirely too much if cultivated in cotton.
Now if the land is actually worth the
amount paid it must be for some
other crop, and being a farmer he
should learn what that crop is, and
devote his labor to it. But we fear
our friend Starnes will continue to
raise cotton on his 4-dollar land and
lose another S1a5. The casual reader
will conclude from the foregoing state
ment that Mr.. S. was actually S125 be-
hind on the years work. and he is if
he only made the p bales Of cotton.
He a y nothing about the corn,
peas. potatoes, sorghum. vegeta-
bles, butter, milk. hogs. etc,
that his team and labor made
while making the cotton-all Of which
went to feed his wife and children. and
which was worth fully the S125 if ne
had it all to buy. Summing the whole
thing up, and comparing his condition
with thousands upon thousands who
are notfarmers, and who are dependent
on the business prosperity of the coun-
try (of which there is none) for a liv-
ing, MI. Starnes is bound to admitthat
he still belongs to the favored class
and all because he has an occupation
by which he can make a living

While the Baron Was Sitting ae 4 Ee@saT
Model a Student Pleased 1;t,n.
Dining on one occasion with Baron
James de Rothschild, Eugene Della
croix, the famous French painter. kept
his eyes turned upon his host in so
marked a manner that. when the com
panv rose to leave the dining-room,
Baron James could not help asking
his guest what it was that so attracted
his attention, says the Philadelphia
Press.
The painter confessed that for some
time past he had vainly sought a head
to serve as a model for that of a beggar
he intended to hold a prominent posi-
ton in a painting on which he was
then engaged, and that, as he gazed
at his hosts features, the idea sudden
" struck him that the very head he
desired was before him. With this ex-
PLANTATION he ventured to ask the baron
whether he would do him the favor to
sit for him as the beggar.
Rothschild, being a great admirer OF
art in all it's forms, and pleased to be
considered one of it's chief patrons,
readily consented to assume a char
acter never before undertaken by a
millionaire.
The next day found him at the paint
er's studio. Delacroix placed a tunic
round his shoulders, put a stout staff
~ lis hand, and made him pose as if he
were resting on the steps of an ancient
Roman family.
In this attitude he was discovered by
one of the artists favorite pupils. who
alone had free access to the studio at
all times
Naturally concluding that the model
had only just been brought IN from
some church porch, and never dream
ing the character assumed by him was
far from the true one, he seized an op-
p~ortunity when his masters eyes were
turned to slip a piece Of money into the
beggar;s hand.
Baron Rothschild thanked him with
a look, and kept the money. The pupil
soon quilted the studio. In answer to
inquiries made Delacroix told the baron
that this young man possessed talent,
but no means; that he. had, in fact, to
earn his livelihood by giving lessons in
painting and drawing.
Shortly after the young fellow re
ceived a letter stating thai charity
bears interest, and that the accumu-
lated interest on the amount that he
had so generously given to whom
he supposed to be a beggar was repre-
sented by the sum of ten thousand
francs, which was lying at his disposal
at the Rothschild Offices

The President Easily Made His Position

At a meeting of the Lincoln and

story was told Of Mr.. Lincoln, illus

his position:

were unusually unsuccessful, a self

Der. twenty-three, called upon the
president to induce him to issue the

was cooked and primed and full OF an

that they were delegates of the AL

president issue the proclamation de-
claring the slaves free.
"He went on to assert that when
that were done the civilized and Chris
tan world would rise up and assist US
with such tremendous force that our
success would be assured, and much
more of the same sort. When he had
finished, Nj. Lincoln 4uietly said to
the speaker:
"sYour reverence, how many legs
has a Sheep
s.The speaker raised his hands and
the whole body of the delegation
showed signs of disgust, as much as 70
say: we always heard he was a buf

No matter how low horses may be

important crop in this country.
