Mr.. Blank is suburbanite who de-
lights during the summer afternoons to
go in quest of sparrows. Early in the
past season a family moved into an
adjoining house. With the family came
a cat One afternoon Mr.. Blank, re-
turning from a cunning expedition.
spied the cat doing on the piazza. He
threw a sparrow at her The cat was
quickly at work and in a short time
there was little left of the sparrow. The
following afternoon the cat was in the
same place not doing. but quite wide
awake watching for the returning
sportsman. Her watching was rewarded
by two sparrows being laid in front of
her. Now the cat was somewhat curious,
consequently the next afternoon wheh
Mr.. Blank started out ON his usual hunt
he was Joined by the cat, who stuck
close to his heels, and when a sparrow
was brought down the cat would take 1t

SOME ANCIENT SHAVING IRONS

Century Old

Skeptical looks have greeted story
told by a scion of a Canadian family
about razor which has been. used by
four generations Of the family, and dur

what had been supposed fiction in the
report of an expedition recently made
up in the valley of the Gauley river by
President J. P. Hale Of the West Vir-
ginia Antiquarian society, who found,
and secured for his society, in addition
to some interesting Indian relics, "the
razor with which Matthias Van Bibber,
one of the earliest settlers of the Kana-
wha valley, used to shave himself" The
informa ton is added that the razor Is
more than a century and quarter old,
and as nothing is said by the old noun

it's having been boned thereis nothing to
show that it is not a worthy. companion
