The Musical Cat.

Judging by the shrill. unmelodious

ordinary house cat credit for possess

much less classical operas and ora

dents Of Chicago. One OF them lives
in a fine house in North State street.

Maltese. Her mistress declares that
when she was tiny kitten so many

were apparent that 1t was deemed
proper to cultivate them. Her educa-
tion has therefore received constant
and careful attention. The results. 1t
goes without saying. are exceedingly
satisfactory.-Emm NJ Wise.

great relief is felt in government and
court circles that President Mckinley
has not demanded a convocation of tie
cortes to approve the peace prelimina-
ries. The cortes will not now be sum
moned until autumn, by which time it
is expected that the agitation of the
extremists will have cooled down and
the country have become more inclined
to accept ACCOMPLISHED facts.

Indies Will be composed. it is under

lieVed here that this commission Will
pave the way for commercial treaties and
for a recognition by the United States
or Cuba Of portion CT the Cuban debt.

very popular. Various names are men
toned in connection with the commits
sior's personnel. but nothing has yet
been settled as to this.

A Pitiful story comes from a neigh
boring Rock Island county town. 1t
is that of once famous Jockey, who
though vet n boy, has made fortunes
for his employer, but now having
gained considerable in flesh. is too
heavy to ride the horse which he has
so often spurred on to victory.
Worry over parting with the little
animal, on which he had apparently
conferred all his affections and hopes,
has been more than his mind can
withstand. and already there are
symptoms of arrangement, which it
is feared will develop into complete
insanity. unless he is given proper
treatment.
He was the son of poor parents.
Always fond of horses, when but a
mere boy he was conspicuous figure
at the country fairs, where he rode in
the races. His marvellous and I'M
broken success attracted attention,
which spread to the more famous tracks
and the boy was soon receiving tempt
ing offers. He had the courage and
the confidence, and good fortune fol-
lowed him wherever he went. He
Travelled the country over several
CiuiCS' pdii4SlI 'dILHS III many VI ihe
celebrated races. He commanded a
fine salary. He was not a spend
thrift. however, never forgetting his
folks, whom he provided handsomely
for, buying them little home and Il
strip of land. and sent them money
beside. He was idolized by the
crowds that swarmed at the scenes
of his sensational victories. but he
never lost his head. He was cool and
clever, and could he banked on to win
his race if there was half IA chance.
The climax came recently, when he
was told that he could not ride his
faVorite horse any longer, because of
his increased weight. lie returned
home broken-hearted. He brought a
large picture of the animal. He
spends much of his time gazing at
this. and occasionally imprints kiss
on the cold paste board.
