Stanley's Cat.


AS the bonds of friendship are
strengthened by heavy affection SO
does a prolonged sojourn in foreign
places, amid strange scenes, turn the
most common of everyday sights at
home into luxuries. A magazine tells a
story Of Henry NJ. Stanley, who, after
his return from Africa, was busily en-
gagged in writing his story Of the Ozark
Continent. -
He used to spread his reference maps
upon the floor of his room, and on this
particular day, after searching in mis-
near neighborhood for a chart which he
much needed, he spoke to his assistant,
who presently deserted it near the fire.
side, with Stanley's favorite cat upon it
asleep. =,
He started to turn the intruder off,
when the great man interrupted him,
saying: .'7<s.s.
''Never mind; don't disturb the cat.
I'll get along without the chart until
the cat wakes up. If you only knew
how good the sight of that domestic cat
curled up in front Of that bright Eng
lish fire is to me, you would never chase
her away"
The cat slumbered on, and not until
she arose with lazy yawn, scratching
her front nails on the rug as she
stretched, did the famous explorer reach
for his map. .s s&.ss

A Father Who Seeks to Enlishten His
Son on Small Point. 49,.
There is a certain man who by the
sweat Of his BROWN summer time
earns his bread as government official,
with an Office in the big state, war and
navy building. He also earns bread for
wife and three likely children and a
servant, who manages to carry slice of
pie along home with her bread about
three evenings in the week. But that is
the cooks privilege always.
This official has a son aged i1S, who
is very nearly as sharp as the father
thinks himself to be, especially in those
things that everybody ought to know
and not one person in dozen does know.
About three times week the father
comes to the Office loaded with some
new information which he seeks to i'm
part to his fellow clerks by the induct-
i've method-that is, he induces them
to show how little they know; then he
springs it on them. His strong point is
words and their pronunciation, and he
thinks he is an authority. 49,
The other evening while he was en-
PERTAINING three or four of his office
friends at small supper the eldest boy
spoke up from the far end of the table.
"Says pop" he inquired, chow do
you pronounce Newcomer spelling
it out slowly. \
II presume, replied the father, with
the courage Of his convictions, ''that it
is an Indian name, and by the rule
would pronounce it Ne-wo-ny."
"But that isn't the way" dissented
the boy.
The father was never more surprised
in his life.
II don't quite see how it would be
euphonious any other way" he said,
with a mild air of offended intelligence
whats the matter with pronouncing
it new one?' inquired the boy, with a
loud, irreverent ha ha. And the blow
almost killed father. -W Washington STAR

FERRYBOATS IN THE WAR.

a Veterans Recollections of One He Saw
at Fortress Monroe In 1861.
''It is curious said a veteran SOL
der, chow some incident or circum-
stance may impart to long familiar
object to which we have never given
any special thought a significance that
makes it always thereafter an object of
particular interest. The East river fer
ryboats impress me in that way now
whenever I see one, and this was
brought about simply by seeing one Of
them out of it's accustomed waters amid
strange scenes and put to strange uses.
'This was in the fall of 1861, in
Hampton Roads. The regiment that
served in was aboard a transport there,
waiting with other troops adoat there
to go farther south under convoy Of q
feet Of war vessels There was great
number Of vessels there Of all kinds,
steamers and sailing vessels and war
ships, and they made an impressive
show, but certainly the most striking of
any one of them on it's first appearance
was an East river ferryboat, the Com
modore Perry. can see her at this min
ute as she looked then, moving across
the waters of the Roads; she looked so
utterly strange and curious there and
amid such surroundings. But she went
here and there with the most perfect
confidence, constantly employed in
transporting stores and troops and
making herself quite as much at home
there as she ever had been among the
currents and eddies of the narrow East
river.
"Other ferryboats were taken down
there. A soldier friend of mine tells
me that later, in the peninsular cam
paign, there was a New York ferry boat
in those waters that was used as a gun
boat, carrying two parrott guns, one at
each end, mounted in the gangways,
where the teams drive in and out. My
own impression is that one or two Of
these boats went around Hatteras, into
waters farther south but, however that
may be, I shall never forget the first
time l saw the Commodore Perry at
Fortress Monroe, and to this day I never
go along South street without feeling
of the keenest personal interest for every
ferryboat I see on the river. New

Evening slippers are very smart at pres

for little feet. Women with big feet
can apply philosophy to evening slippers
as we'll as to everything else in life.
For everything you miss you gain some
thing else, and the gain In this case is
immediate, for it is in dollars and cents.
All of these gimcracks on slippers make
them just that much more expensive.
The proper thing to wear with ball
gowns and other elaborate frocks is a
slipper made from the piece of the gown
