If any one finds a stray church organ

CATION OF the Pleasant Valley Church,
Barton County, Kan. That is believed
to be the only church in the United
States to-day that has lost It's organ by
theft. The crime Is somewhat unusual,
as ordinarily church organs would be
regarded IS too bulky to be successfully
concealed by robbers. 1t is particularly
heinous in this Instance, as the instru-
ment represents the results Of numer-
Gus socials and church festivals. There
Is no suspicion that the music emitted
by the organ has had anything to do
with Its abrupt taking off or that the
singing inspired by the organ has srous-
ed any Intent predatory instincts in any
OF the congregation. The sole theory
entertained is that some aggregation of
persons simply stole the organ either
because they wanted an organ or need
ed the money It would sell for, and that
Is the kind OF person chiefs Of police

Tie Domestic Cat.

The cat was a solitary roamer,

the hollow trunks and safety among
the branches. How do we know that
the cats ancestors we're dwellers IN

takes to tree as readily as duck to
water. Also, because nearly all forest
dwellers are mottled in color, SO that
they may not be conspicuous among
the lights and shadows beneath the
trees. While / was considering what

they regard a man as kind of loco.
