A good cat-the kind you want to
have in the house, if any-will have :
A round, stubby pug nose; full, fat
cheeks and upper lip; well-developed
bump on top Of the head between the
ears, betokening good nature. A
sleepy cat that purrs good deal is
apt to be playful and 'good-natured.
BY all means to be avoided is a cat
with thin, sharp nose, twitching ears.
1t must be remembered also that a
good mouser is not necessarily gen
tie or desirable pet. Although any
good cat will catch mice if she is not
overfed, quick, full expressive eyes
generally betoken mousing cat. The
greatest mistake-and probably the
most common one-in the care of do
mestic cats is overfeeding, particular
ly too much meat. In the wild life a
cat has exercise which enables her to
digest food. In the lazy house life the
same full feeding leads to stomach
troubles and to "tits." The best rem
edy for this trouble is no food for "a
hours.-N. Y. World.

Feeding tine FIRE.
The most powerful engine must stop II
the fires are not fed. Man is the most won
derful piece of machinery in the world, yet
no matter how strong and well.nade his
bodily frame may be, If the FIRE of life
within him Is not constantly fed his limbs
and muscles become powerless and useless.
The reason men become helpless and
diseased is because the food they eat,
which is the fuel of life, is not properly
digested and appropriated by the stomach
and nutritivc organs. 1t is not completely
transformed into the strength and working
power which is to man what steam is to
the engine.

The committee on entertainment Of
the National Editorial Association will
be called together MS soon ms Information
is received as to the time ot'the visit, the
probable number who will be present and
the length OF time they will spend here.
There is no need OF providing carriages
for a drive, unless the time to be spent
here is long enough to see the nearest
points of interest. However, it is ex-
pected that all our people, both town and
country, will hold themselves i'll readi-
ness to respond promptly to the requests
of the committee when it is learned what
will be expected Of Rocky Ford. At the
present it seems probable that break
fast will be wanted for several hundred
of the editors, and possibly carriages may
be needed to show them the adjacent
country. The date Of the visit will be
the latter part of next week.
1t is rumored in diplomatic circles

be no necessity for another bond issue,
growing out of the war, aud that the
present revenue law, with possibly slight
notifications, should be retained on the
statute books for an indefinite period.
Rev. Il. Dewitt Talmage, in a recent
lecture, is credited with saying, "That the
pendulum in national financial matters
was swinging toward an era of unprece-
denied prosperity" to which we heartily
respond, let 'er swing; we are ready for
it.

Now that the war is over. the Omaha
exposition is the biggest thing in sight.

p
There are some hints THAT Spain will
want payment for public buildings in
Porto Rico and elsewhere. Nothing of
the kind will be granted. We should
keep all we have captured rs the legiti-
mate spoils Of war. We are only taking
from Spain possessions which should
have been wrepched from her 300 years
ago. The results Of the late war are
just retribution visited on the most cor.
rupt and mercilees nation which ever
claimed to be civilized.

that $3.50 were made on the first car OF
melons.
Secondly, it is all right il he did. A
man who every day invests from $1,000 to
$4,000 in such perishable goods rs can
taloupes deserves to make good round
profit.
1t is to Nat Wetxel that our growers
are indebted for the privilege they have
Of shipping from twenty. five to forty cars
OF cantaloupes daily. They are making
good money and would be very sorry to
hear that Mr.. WetEsl was not also making
money. II Wetzel handles all the crop
of the Valley for the entire season, as
now seems most promising. there will be
general rejoicing over mutual prosperity.
Long live Wetzel!
