Male Felinity.

"Talking about the humanity of man
and the felinity Of woman, said the
independent woman, "let me tell you "a
little story of man and cat. The
story was told to me by the wife of the
man, who is domesticated woman 1t
seems that the family cat, besides being
of sportive disposition, had more in
genuity than most cats or understood
better how to relieve the tedium of a
domestic existence. This cat caught a
mouse. Being we'll fed her sporting in
stinct came into play, and she kept the
mouse to amuse herself with. That is a
feline custom, as you are aware, but
where this cat showed superior mental
ity was in hitting upon place to hide
the mouse, thus protracting the amuse-
ment. She kept it in an old shoe in a
storeroom. The man of the house dis
covered the proceeding, and was almost
as much amused as the cat. Did he put
a stop to it? No. indeed. For several
days he fed both the cat and the mouse,
after which the cat would take the
mouse out for its daily exercise, to the
delight of both conspirators Then the
mans wife found them out. She took
the mouse away and let it 60 New

There are many new fraternal bene-
ficiary societies springing up in differ
ent parts of the country, but their paths
are not strewn with roses. Be their
plans ever so good and sound, they find
that it takes some time to gain conf
dence of the community. Some 60 on
the cheap principle. Their fraternity
counts for nothing, and hence they do
not charge any membership fee. They
sometimes agree to pay the examiners
fees, while the solicitor is guaranteed
a percentage OF the widow and orphans
fund for several years to come. This
fact, however, does not appear on their
printed prospectus There are others
who seek 10 build themselves up tear
ing down the older and more eXper-
fenced societies, but they forget that a
confidence once destroyed is hard to
retain, and the man they get to drop
out" of the "sister fraternity" soon
tires of his new love and drops out
again. There are still other societies
who have seen the fallacy of cheap
ness" and have perfected an excellent
plan, but they ind that the competition
with cheaper societies renders their
growth slow, while they are obliged to
mortgage the future in order to re-
emburse themselves for the money they
have advanced to get the new order
established. Their methods are COM
mendable, compared with the others,
yet there is the possibility that as the
order grows and new and ambitious
men are elected to legislate "for the
good of the order" that their early
sacrifices will be forgotten and that
others will reap what they have sown.
There should be little sympathy for
those societies that promise everything
cheap when the knowledge gained by
those who have gone before should
teach them in this enlightened day
that the actual cost of life protection
is something more than an amount
computed from the pumber of claims
received for the first few years. PEN
MES for assets and dollars for liabilities
are very hard to build upon, especially

we should be better off. But there Is q
freakiness and fnicalness, an inability
to give and take, "a general rubbing and
creaking of machinery among men de-
veloped only on the one side Of the
mind, which always everywhere makes
them Objectionable as rulers. Boxing
is just as likely to make man meek
as books, but if you have a bully to deal
with neither the boxing nor the books
will avail anything, and he becomes al
most more Objectionable as an editor
than as prizefighter OF course sport
will fail, just as every other agency
will fail, with certain men. On the
other hand, for the great majority Of
men, well conducted sport will teach
them fortitude, gentleness, meekness
and fair play as no other agency yet in
vented by man can do. Outing
