THIS CAT IS A TRUE SPORT.
AS n Hunter of Rabbits and MinISA
She Has Few Equals.

Possibly the most remarkable cat In
the Green Mountain State lives in
Poultney, on the shores of Lake st.
Catherine. The cat is the special pride
and pet Of Mrs. Henry Hastings. As
a hunter the animal has manifested eX-
tracrdinary sagacity. 1t has actually
captured more game than any hunter
in the county.
Not long ago the cat entered the
house with a fine mink between her
sharp teeth. She walked up to Mrs.
Hastings, arched her back, as il, wish
ing to be rubbed, and then dropped the
mink at her feet.
1t was not the first time, however,
that the cat had caught a mink. 1t
has caught no less than half a dozen,
All were in fine condition and exceed
ingly valuable for their fur. But it is
as a rabbit hunter that the cat ranks
pre-eminent. Since the beginning of
this year she has caught and taken to
her mistress house nearly 100 rabbits.
Many of these rabbits were as large
as herself, and as a rabbit isn't much
of a fighter, the shy little animals We're
no doubt captured without any great
trouble.
Mrs. Hastings is never surprised to
see a dead rabbit lying about the
house. In fact, she would not be very
much surprised if the cat brought
home a fox or other larger game 1t is
a remarkable fact that the cat never
takes poor game home with her The
mink are always the finest, the rabbits
the plumpest, and the birds the tender

fact, | wish to call your attention to
this feature of the plan, which | be
lieve to be an important part of the
general scheme, that all parts Of this
immense building would be in perfect
communication with each other; that
any given point can be reached from
any other given point by a route al
most, if not quite as direct as the
crow flies. Accessibility and commu-
nication at-least, in combination with
compactness, could scarcely be inn
proved upon over the opportunities
which this plan offers.

A woman living in New York State
went to South Dakota, secured a oil
yorce from her husband and then mar
riad again. A New York judge has de-
cided that, by the laws of the State OF
South Dakota she is the lawful wife III
that state of the second husband. By
the laws of the State of New York she
is the lawful wife of the first. Ac-
cording to this decision. a man or Il
woman might have a legal wife or
husband in nearly every state OF the
Union. 1t has been the reproach OF
sailors that they follow out this fash
ion, not only in states, however, but III
ports. And yet, if such unions are to
be legalzed, then all is right as right
can be. and we may say of them, as is
said of the sailor in the ballad. NO
matter what you do, if your art be
only true, and his art was true to

A Frenchman has invented new
sort of paper that will knock out the
lead pencil industry if it proves a sue
cess. 1t may be written upon with the
point OF any metal whatever. This
property is impaired by mixing with
the ingredients Of the paper any de-
sired oxide or carbonate, for instance,
zinc oxide or lead carbonate. Then the
renorter. stenographer or sketcher does
not have to stop to sharpen a lead
pencil or to dip pen in ink. When
one is done with his manuscript the
paper is excellent for polishing metals.

Mr.. and Mrs. William G.. Irwin have
extended 250 invitations or their"barn
dance at Waikiki this evening. This
event, which society has talked about
so much for the past few weeks and
which has aroused more than usual
interest among the younger sets, will
be a most notable social affair. 1t is
not general party, only Mr.. and Mrs.
lrwin's young friends being invited.
The magnificent new barn. which has
just been completed, is most artistical-
ly decorated throughout. The decora-
tions are not elaborate, for the reason
that the pretty new wood in the build
ing is not hidden from view and adds
very largely to the beauty of the
place. Flags have been tastefully
hung up on both floors and there has
been II promiscuous use of ferns and
evergreens. About. the pillars palms
and evergreens reach well to the high
ceilings. Manager Hoffman, of the
Hawaiian Electric Light company. has
wired the building especially for the
occasion. The barn will be brilliantly
lighted. The ball room. which is on
the lower floor, will present a most
striking effect by the glow of the diff
ferent colored lights overhead. The
supper room upstairs will be equally
as attractive. The Hawaiian Qun-
tette Club will provide the music. At
the entrance gate to the Irwin resi-
dence has been stationed a large cleo
trio arc light, Mr.. and Mrs, Irwin, as
sisted by their niece, Miss Spalding,
will welcome the guests in the ball
room. \ number of young ladies will
assist the host and hostess of the
evening. The handsome new Irwin
barn will be brimming over with mirth
and glce tonight.
