A Cat with an Odd Annette,

a Nat Win an ood Appet1tes
An ordinary cats bill Of fare is quite
complete when 1t contains in the first
course saucer Of milk, in the second
a nice, tender mouse, and in the third
a piece of custard pie. But Frances
Holden, Of Omaha, had a high-toned
cat that bore the odd name Of Okoboji,
which insisted on having an extra
course OF crab salad. Last summer,
when she and her brothers and sisters
were out camping, they gathered bas-
ket Of lively little crabs and poured
them out on the tent floor. Okoboji,
being near at hand, came emitting up,
like the dainty cat she was, and all the
boys and girls were surprised to see
her walk right into the midst Of the
wriggling mass. Some of the crabs
caught hold of her tail, Of her whis-
kers and Of her fur, until she was fairly
alive with them. Okoboji seemed to en-
Joy 1t first rate, and played with them
as II they were mice. Presently, when
she was tired Of the fun, she sat down
and calmly ate all the crabs up, one
after another. Whoever heard Of q cat
with such an odd appetite?

amusing signs. even in Boston, where
erudition undoubtedly extends to the

cntiuually excites the listeners inter

may be. But this establishment Is no
funnier than the painless dental par

feel glad that the ''parlor" suffers no

makers have been cudgled in efforts to
find some solution of this very difficult
problem. Senator Bacon's ideas have
taken the form given above. It is no ex-
aggeration to say that the impression
created by them has been favorable in
the extreme, and it not at all unlikely
that they will receive a handsome ma
jority, when the resolution comes back
from the senate committee on foreign
relations to which it was referred. The
method suggested by Senator Bacon
is practically that adopted in the set
t]ement of disputes between South
America and other nations or between
the South American countries them
selves. In such cases as these the
president of the United States has
often acted as arbitrator, and the re-
suit in every instance has been emin-
emily satisfactory.
The diplomatic corps in Washington
when questioned regarding the pre-
vailing sentiment as between the arbi-
tration treaty and joint resolution
like that of Senator Bacon, seemed
very much inclined to endorse the
former, on the ground that it was
less cumbersome and rendered salts
factory results more easy to obtain.
Red tape is a recognized necessity in
diplomatic affairs but even the trained
diplomat likes to avoid it when he can.
This is what renders sentiment to-
ward Senator Bacon's resolution
among the representatives of foreign
governments so favorable. The min
listers Of the South American republics
are for it to a man.
In discussing the resolution with the
writer, Senator Bacon says: TT seems
to me that this is the living issue Of
the day. We have attracted attention
to ourselves by failure to enact an
arbitration treaty. Very many persons
have sought to convey. the idea that
this was caused by the so-called lingo
ISM Nothing Of the kind 1t is simp-
ly because the members of the United
States senate have made the arbtra-
tion treaty a matter of the keenest
study. There is not a senator who
does not prefer arbitration to war.
doubt If there is man beneath the
roof of the capitol who does not hope
that the conflict between Turkey and
Greece will be the last meeting of arm
ed men for centuries to come.
eve simply know that the provisions
of this treaty are such that they would
III the end defeat the very object for
which they are alleged to have been
conceived. Therefore the question
arises how can we best bring about
arbitration The answer is simple, be-
cause it is simplicity. Let us so frame
our outline of the course we believe
should be pursued that there will be
no hidden obstacles over which to
