WHAT SOCIETY TALKS OF.

. If misery acQuaints a man with
strange bedfellows," bicycles certainly
bring about very odd friendships.

ACTORS CAT.
His Name is Whiskers and He's a
Mascot for Thespians.

They might have called the cat Mo
ses, but they didn't. Several young
women found it floating in a basket
in the Harlem River three years ago
and presented it to the Actors Fund,
and there it was chriStened WhiskerS.
And Whiskers has been raised above
the indignity Of being called it, The
actors say he" and he, his and him
shall it be. says the New York Herald.
He has grown into a fine, large cat.
His fur is sleek and smooth. He is
very dark, without a spot, except a
tiny breastpin Of white and tips the
scales at almost fifteen pounds. He is
extremely nice in his manners and
dainty in the matter of food.
Being a cat of nigh degree, he abso-
lutely and mistakenly refuses to sleep
on the floor, like a common or garden
cat, but takes his siestas on the desk
of one of the officers, stretching out
his luxuriant length and taking up
more room than is sometimes con-
venient, but making, as the vice pres
ident, Louis Ald1.icb, says, a fine
paper weight.
A young actress who was looking
for employment last year had made
the round of the agencies, and when
she dropped into the rooms Of the
fund Whiskers heard her hard luck
story and wept in polite feline way.
When she started to go he reached
out and laid his OBTAINING claws on her
arm, tearing the sleeves slightly. Oh,
but she didn't mind. She sat down
and began pc ting him and before long
a we'll known manager came in.
why, Miss Neurotic," he said, you
are the very woman 1 want. Are you
engaged? Can you leave town at once
So lucky to have found you"
The actress gave Whiskers a little
pat and a kiss on his smooth head
when half an hour later she left the
room with a contract in her pocket
Whiskers was taken TO the cat show
last week as an exhibit. He went
under very vigorous protest, and the
honor of competing for the blue ribbon
was thrust upon him.
Even the holiday attire, which con-
sisted of new collar, with ''Whiskers,
Actors Fund" printed on it, did not
waken any enthusiasm in his breast

MY GIFTS.

Springtime brought the roses gay,
Scattering perfume meath the sun.
I could keep them but a day;
They were dead when day was done.
Summer came in emerald dressed
Gave me flowers bright and fair.
When l pinned them to my breast,
Soon their beauty persisted there.
Autumn lavished fruits on me.
When the hills with splendor burned,
Dead sea fruits they proved to be,
Which to dust and ashes turned.
And [ told my heart with sorrow
Nothing lasts beyond a day;
New gifts come with each new NOR
With that morrow pass away.
Winter came, and one gray morning,
When the winds were blowing Wild
Love came to me without warning
Looked into my eyes and smiled.
And l said: Love, too, will leave me.
Perish, like all other things,
It comes to me but to grieve me
Leave me to my Borrowings.
But the love that came unbidden
Staid, and each day grew more dear
I'LL within my heart twas hidden,
There to brighten all the year
Then told my heart with gladness
Earth's best gifts, hoWe'er soon gone,
Leave behind them naught of sadness.
Love will fill their place alone.
Miller Puryis.

Houston, Tex, May 23.-The city is
i'll holiday attire and the streets are
filled with old soldiers who are here to-
attend the reunion of confederate vet
Grams. The rain married the pleasures
of the day, and caused an entire
change of the program. The crush in
the auditorium was terrible. There
were 5000 people inside and as many
more outside unable to gain admit
lance. Governor CulbersOn and Mayor
Brown made welcome addresses. Gen.
eral John B. Gordon, communicating
chief of the United States Confederate
Veterans, responded. He was enthu-
siastically applauded. General S. D.
Lee read the report of the historical
committee. He said the present his
tories of the late war are one-sided
and unsatisfactory.
In the evening Miss Winnie Davis,
daughter of the cOnfederacy," was in
PRODUCED. Never was there seen such
a demonstration. Hats were flying in
the air, gray-haired men cheering and
yelling, completely drowning the
music made by the band. 1t had been
intended that Miss Davis should greet
each veteran by a handshake, but the
impracticabIlity of this feature WIS
soon manifest. She was then placed
where she could be seen by all, and
bow her acknowledgements. A royal
shout greeted her appearance, drown
ing her utteranceS, but demonstrating
to his children that Jefferson Davis is
not dead to the hearts of the southern
ers, particularly those who for years
followed the stars and bars At the
conclusion of the ovation, the crowd
dispersed and Miss Davis was driven
to the residence of Judge Masterson,
whose guest she is.

COULDN'T SEE CASEY.

He was an understood man, and he
wandered into the Oak street station
with bigger man about t o'clock,

''Kln we see Casey!" he demanded.

over to the window where two men

ain't any doubt about that, and may
be Casey's wife deserved it,"

by the window.

MEMORIAL DAY.

The honeysuckle buds again
And rose pink petals strew the
ground
AS far away from haunts Of men
She steals and finds lonely mound
A mound where waves a tiny flag
OF colors red and white and blue.
Beside it she in sable weeds
Lives once again that battle through.
Nor wishes she her hero back
Who served his God and country
right
She gave, with loyal, trusful faith,
The widows all-it was her mite.
Beside the grave, in sun or rain,
That bent, black figure may be found
When hOneysuckle buds again
And rose pink petals strew the
ground.
