region around Grant. From Prospect
to Wilmart, from Wheelertown to Po-
land, there wasn't an observer Of ma
ture but had heard of and wondered at
the yellow cats doings. Old Hi Hub
bard put out lot of corn last year near
the gully on his farm. Co'ons got to
resorting to the corn In late August,
and one night the yellow cat went
there, too, likely thinking to find 4
partridge sleeping among the stalks
low down, or a small bird or two. The
yellow cat didn't find the birds, but
it did find black coon, and it liked
the black coon uncommonly well. The
two got acquainted, just as wolf or
coyote sometimes gets to know a shep-
herd dog. The two became great
friends. They went along the rows Of
corn hills together, as their tracks In
the sand showed, and the cat would sit
on its launches, while the coon pulled
down a fat ear.
After time the cat and coon wan
dcred of across the field toward Zephyr
Heights swamp, and in theroad stopped.
Bert Jones was coming along
the road Just then. He had been up to
Northwood on an errand which wasn't
anybody else's business, and he had his
dog along. The dog Is fighter from
bulldog and bear-trscking stock. It
was believed that It could whip even
Phil Perry's fighting dog, which once
cleaned out a wildcat.
Jones set the dog at the cat and coon,
and away it went with q yelping bark
that made old Hi Hubbard come to the
window. The dog got to the cat and
coon quickly, but it wasn't circum-
stance to the way got away from them,
once it broke loose. Coons are mighty
good fighters, and lean yellow cats are
in this way quite as good as coQns. The

THE USEFUL WASP.
A Swarm OF Them Kill Four Hundred to
Five Hundred Flies In Twenty Minutes.

A Swarm OF Them Kill Four Hundred to
Five Hundred Flies in Twenty Minutes.
By common agreement the wasp is
accepted as emblematical of irritability
and petty malignity; but even this
much-abused hymenopterous insect
plays a beneficial part in the work of
nature.
A number of wasps were seen by Mr..
r. NJ. Darlington, an Irish naturalist,
buzzing about his cows. Closer inspec-
ton revealed that they were all busy
catching flies, and bouncing with the
rapidity of hawks after birds on the
flies as they tried to settle or rest on
some favorite part of the COW. One
white COW drew more wasps than any
of the others, because the moment
fly alighted it was seen at once against
the skin. When wasp catches a fly
it Immediately bites off both wings,
sometimes a leg or two. and occasional
ly the head.
Mr.. harrington saw some of the wasps
when laden with one fly catch another,
without letting go the first, and then
fly away with both. There was a con-
slant stream of wasps carrying away
flies, probably to feed the larvae in their
nests, and returning again to the cows
to catch more. In about 20 minutes
Mr.. harrington estimated that between
300 and 400 flies were caught on two
cows lying close to where he stood.
Perhaps this narrative of good deeds
accomplished will lead people to think
more leniently of the vices of the wasp.

TWO coulu nave whipped wDoIe PACK
of such dogs as Jones'. The cat got
onto the dogs tail, and stretched out
its hind legs, with the claws raking the
dogs hide. That was when the dog
tried to bite the coon. When the dog
turned on the cat the coon set its teeth
into the dogs tail, and the tail is crooked
now. The row did not last long-only
while Jones was running up to join in
the mess. Then the dog broke away
from the cat and ran rod with the
coon hanging on, with all four legs stiff,
and blowing up the sand of the road.
The dog getaway and kept going, while
the two friendly beasts kept on toward
the swamp.

JOKE ON PINKERTON.
How the Tables Were Turned on
the Chicago Detective.
The Famous Thief Catcher Had Stand
ing Joke That Afforded Him Lots
of Fun Until He Himself Was
Badly Sold.

They were enjoying a sun bath Sun
day morning on the hotel veranda at
West Baden, and the conversation was
on the subject of practical jokes.
In the party, says the Chicago News,
were Bill Fitzgerald, Alderman John
Powers, Bill Skakel and one or two
other well-known Chicagoans. Fitz-
gerald had arrived on the six o'clock
the night before, and at eight o'clock,
to the amusement of every male guest,
had pulled off a badger fight. Every
body who. has been out to West Baden
knows what one of these badger fights
is, and the merriment over the easy way
in which Bill had been roped in had
lived over the night.
"Just see the hole that your desire for
a little prominence got you into"
chuckled Bill Skakel. You'll be buy
ing a gold brick next, and that's what
every mark does who goes to Indiana.
Bill, who ever thought that you'd be
such a sucker?"
"They say there's a fresh one born
every second" casually remarked Alder
man Powers, as he winked at Skakel.
'Iguess you're right, john" answered
Fitzgerald, who took their guying very
good-naturedly, land the way that 1
was taken in reminds me how one of
our friends who is mighty fond of a
practical joke himself was once taken
in.'
-Pausing to reply to some good-na-
tured jeering from some of the guests
below, the Hon. Bill smoothed down a
few ruffles in his hat and went on with
the story.
"You all know howfond Billy Pinker-
ton is of practical joke" he began, by
way of prelude, land, by gracious, he
hates to be caught by one. Now, I have
just as much fun in being caught by q
joke as the man who plays it on me-"
Skakel agreed to what Fitzgerald had
said, and Powers begged him to go on
with the yarn before the day ended, re-

IN LONDON BARBER SHOPS.

Shaving Mugs Adorned with EmbIenas
of the Owners Business.
An interesting feature of the east end
barber shops is the rack of pigeonho!es
filled with shaving mugs, each bearing,
usually in German text, the name of the
owner, says Parsons Weekly. The
shaving mug is evidently esteemed a
valuable advertising medium, for
many a mug bears, in addition to the
owners name, some emblem OF his
business. The undertaken puts on his
mug the picture of richly-appointed
hearse, with all the proper trappings of
woe. The butcher decoratcs his mug
with shoulders of mutton, pigs heads
and linked sausages. The dentist dis
plays the traditional double row of an
noyingly perfect teeth. The firemsn's
mug bears the illuminated picture OF .
fire engine.
Vain and handsome men adorn their
cups with photographs of themselves.
Others place beneath their names some
inscriptions sentiment from the poets
or an old German rhyme OF good cheer.
A child's photograph occasionally ap-
pears ON shaving mug and now and
then a coat of arms is emblazoned above
the owners name, for coats of arms are
as abundant in the east end as elsewhere
in the town. Sometimes it is a national
coat of arms. German, Austrian, Swiss
or italian, displayed in honor of the de-
serted fatherland.
