Next mornings paper contained a short
editorial on cats and told how cat Sur had
recently come into great demand In fash
ionable circles in New York, and how the
long, coarse hairs were eliminated and the
real fur was made into tippets and lnuffs,
and every fashionable lady wore a feline,
etc. Not far off in another column was a
displayed advertisement that said:
"Wanted-1 600 cats, for which 90 cents
each will bO paid"
The merchants name was signed to It.
By noon the cats began to roll in.
Small boys, white and black, brought
them in baskets and bags. For awhile
the merchant enjoyed tho joke, bu5 soon
got tired and went away tc dinner.
By the time he returned the boys and
darkies from the suburbs were coming in,
and the sidewalk was blockaded. Henry
had laughed until he was exhausted and

Neighboring merchants and their clerks
gathered around and laughed and shouted
and cried at every new arrival of cats. As

himself with a big stick but at last ht

relieved him from the pressure.

HAEVARD And YALE
Have Settled their Athletic Difficulties and
Wm Meet in Contests.

W VI meet IN contests
Cambridge, Mass, Feb. t5.-Harvard
and Yale have at last signed a definite
treaty, and a complete athletic recon
ciliation has been effected. Walter
Camp and William Brooks, Jr., drew
up the agreement Saturday evening,
but it was not signed until yesterday.
It provides for baseball football and
track athletics to be agreed to by the
undergraduate managers, and for an
arbitration committee in case of a dis
agreement. AS to the boat race this
year. Cornell appears to hold the key
to the situation.
The signing Of the agreement puts
an end to a long suspense, and will be
received everywhere with great relief.
The plan is tacitly that which Har-
ward presented to Yale months ago,
but which, without being actually re-
fused was strongly objected to- Every
one in Cambridge is delighted.
1t is understood that the first base
ball game will be played in Cambridge
on June 25, which is the day before
class day, with the second at New Ha-
ven on June &c. If third game is
necessary it viii be played a week
later. The track athletic games will
occur at New Haven May 10.

The trustees of the fire department
met Monday evening, and among lot

old fire bell to the Frank school house.
The bell has history. 1t first be-

A farmer down town today remarked
that the condition of the roads was no
joke to him or to many others that he
could mention. He himself had lost
two good horses owing to the roads and
could not see where the fun came in.
One of the horses had got into the mire
over his shoulders and in trying to get
out broke the shoulder. The other in
a similar fix had so injured himself that
he was no longer of any use and had to
be disposed of.
Despite the fact that the air ship
has gone to pieces, and that fragments
of it have been picked up in various
parts, which go to show that the much
talked about peculiarly was only an
advertisement, used by the Ringing
Bros, the same strange lights
were sighted here again on
Tuesday evening and in several other
parts of Wisconsin and Illinois. 1t is
reported that one party in town now
asserts that the whole thing, frame
work and all, were seen by him Tues
day night-the cigar shaped body and
the wings protruding from each side.
The plot seems to thicken.
If we could trace dyspepsia to its
source, it would lead back to our
kitchens. In fact, the secret of good
health is good cooking. If we'll cooked
foods are partially digested; if poorly
cooked, they are less digestible than in
their raw state. If you are victim OF
faulty cooking; that is, if you suffer
from dyspepsia, the rational cure must
be looked for in an artificially digested
food, and food which will at the same
time aid the digestion of other foods
Such a preparation virtually rests the
tired digestive organs, thereby restor-
ing them to their natural strength.
