a Colored PatroImsa Finds n old Time
Friend Up . Tree In Big City.
Without doubt Patrolman Harris. col
ored, who Is connected with the Cottage
Grove avenue police station, Chicago, Is
the happiest man on the force, and the
cause of all his joy il the fact that he
recently captured possum In George
M. Pullman's front yard.
Officer Harris travels beat in the
vicinity of Eighteenth street and the
lake, and Just at the break Of day on a
recent morning he was at Prairie ave-
nue. and Eighteenth street. AS he pass
ed an alleyway the officer noticed an
animal steal from under shed and run
along the sidewalk. The animal was a
large, fat possum.
Officer Harris needed no natural his
tory to find name for the quadruped.
He forgot about highwaymen and bur-
glars and pursued the animal. The chase
led across grass plots and front yards,
and finally the possum reached the
street in front Of Mr.. Pullman's resi-
dence.
The chase had been a hard one, and
the officer was perspiring freely, but
had no intention Of giving up. Just as
the animal ran under the fence into tho
yard Officer Harris was about to seize
it by the tail, but stumbled and fell.
The possum, taking advantage Of the
accident, climbed to the uppermost
branches Of tall tree.
Not to be outdone, Officer Harris
stripped himself of his coat and vest
and swung himself to the lower branch
es. The possum wedged itself in a
crotch and showed fight. The officer had
treed possums before, and he was equal
to the emergency.
Watching his chance, Harris sudden
ly seized the animal by the throat, and
in his haste to reach the ground missed
his hold on the branch and fell some
distance. He was slightly injured by
the fall, but his success in capturing
the animal was an Offset to all pain,
and with triumphant air the possum
was taken to the station. 1t was placed
in barrel, and all day was viewed by
a crowd Of interested policemen. The
police were unable to learn where the
animal came from, and no one came to
the station to claim it.-Chicago Inter
Ocean.

Davitt Thinks Cuba Should BE Ours.

There is such thing as too much
conservatism, said Michael Davitt, tho
Irish patriot, recently. II like the
American plan Of being oontented with
what territory it has, instead Of going
around stealing everything in sight. as
England does, but it seems to me the
policy Is carried too far when objection
II made to the annexation Of Cuba. Tho
United States should own Cuba In any
event. it is the duty Of the government,
for humanity's sake, 10 stay the present

A question that is putting the mind
Of tho pension authorities is one that
involves several marriages, divor ID
desertions. II covers ID years Of 70
and is started for the purpose of seeing
If Mrs. Mary Billings is the wiGo Of
+. q. Saunders, John Carney or Wi
liam Billings IL involves a long story
Of matrimonial ventures.
IL Platte county, No, in 1854 f. G..
Saunders was married 70 Muy Joyce
They went TO Kansas, ana there the
widow heard her husband had been kill
cd III al election row IL Missouri, where
he was visiting.
She remained widow for few
years, and then Joined her fortunes with
John Carney, with whom she lived ior
q few years. and was divorced, and later
married William Billings. who was an
old soldier in tho Mexican and rebellion
wars. All three OF her husbands arc
now dead.
She wants pension as the widow Of
Mr.. Billings. The question at issue is.
Was she ever the wife Of Billings? 1t is
claimed Carney was not widower
when she lived with him, but had sim
ply deserted his first wife, and it is
known that Saunders was not killed, as
she supposed, but had deserted her and
lived for many years in Arkansas,
where he raised large family.
She was not widow when she mar
ried Carney, nor was he eligible for
marriage. Carney had other wives, and
one Of them now draws pension as his
widow, SO the question comes up, Whose
widow is Mrs Billings? If she was de-
serted and then married a man who was
already married and was divorced from
him, she was eligible for genuine
marriage with Billings. The pension
records show many tangled cases, but
few that are more complex than this
one. Kansas City Times.
