Returned Alter SIX Years.

In kentucky town there died six
years ago a man who was noted for his
Kindness TO animals. Among his other
pets, he had large white cat, and the
day after the funeral this at disap-
peared. The gentleman's daughter con
tinued 10 occupy the house, and while
the cat was missed, as weeIvs lapsed into
months and months into ears il was
finally given up for lost and forgotten.
One day recently, while the family was
seated at the dinner table. the white cat
appeared as suddenly as il left six years
before, ana climbed up on chair to be
fed. Since then the most careful search
and elaborate inquiries has failed TO re-
veal where the cat has been during this
long interval.

THE AUX AND IT'S EGG.

was put up at auction in London, and
wealthy gentleman did not hesitate to
pay 81 900 for the perfect shell.
A damaged egg at auction brought
$915, while an aux S skin is worth 81 500.
In all only ~ skins of this bird remain,
nine skeletons and a few loose bones.
The Museum of Natural History in New
York city possesses a handsome stuffed
skin, but only two of the valuable eggs
are owned in America.
So great, however, is the interest in
aux eggs that the museums have plaster
casts OF them, made with the greatest
care from the finest egg in Europe, ex
hibited in the museum of Liverpool.
This shell is not only spotted, but
prettily streaked in brown on it's
creamy surface, and its value is esti-
mated as high as $4,000.
In Leipsic, in Geneva, London and
Paris, great aux eggs are kept in mu-
seums, and one of the eggs that has
come to America is owned in Philadel-
phia. So great. indeed, is the interest
felt by students of natural history in
this big sea bird that has become ex-
tinct in our century, that books have
been filled with it's history. When Nan
sen set out on his polar expedition a
sharp lookout was kept for the great
aux, since there are persons who be-
lieve that few lonely specimens still
exist somewhere up in the Arctic circle,
and that keen eyes can still find its
eggs, worth SO many times their weight
in goid.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

HIGH PRICE OF EGGS

Sixty Years Ago Recently sold
ut Auction for 81 800.

In the eyes of a boy who collects birds
eggs there is no object so precious and
SO beautiful, perhaps, as modest look
ing white shell touched with brown
spots and proven to be that of great
aux or garefowl. Two hundred years
ago 10 people who lived along The rocky
coast OF Maine, or up in the Scotch
islands, these eggs. and the ungainly
mother aux who laid them, were not un-
usual sights, for at that time great auks
were plentiful enough in those regions,
and collectors of birds eggs were few
and far bsiw2ea J.
Nowadays, however. the person who
says he or she has seen great aux alive
Is likely to have their yeracity doubted.
white anyone who possesses an egg laid
by this big sea fowl is considered a very
lucky individual indeed. Fifty years
ago a few seafaring men shot great
auks in the cold seas of northern Eu-
rope. Finally, about 1921, the last one
positively seen was captured, and to-
day its tuffed body is in the British
museum, but for 50 years at least not
single great aux has been taken, and in
consequence the few remaining eggs of
these birds have, year by year. become
more and more precious.
Seventy-fve years since, great aul<'s
egg at auction would fetch about 500,
and the heads of mus ems became very
eager to secure good specimens, but as
only about 20 eggs remained in all Eu-
rope their price began to go steadily up.
In the year 1850, or thereabouts. an Eng
hshman, great student of natural his
tory, and the possessor of quite am
elaborate private museum, bought some
birds eggs of tisherman's wife on the
French coast. Among the seamew and
gull eggs he secured was one fine, speck-
led shell. easily recognized as that of
great aux. lie paid only dollar for the
perfect specimen, took il to London,
and in course of time it was sold for
sos. Four years ago the same egg

The Bonds Already Voted Simply Cover the Cost of Construction and Material Used.
 What the $iO.OOO Is Needed For

Since the notice calling special election for the purpose of determining whether the town council should issue it's bonds in the sum of ten thousand dollars additional to the eighty-five thousand dollars already voted, the question has often been asked, "What for? Why is 1t necessary or expedient for the town to assume this additional indebtedness?" The question is fair one. It is asked in the interest of the entire community, and its answer, if one can be made, should satisfy every requirement of honesty and economy, or the issue should not be authorized by popular vote.
 It should be stated in the outset that the bonds already voted ($S5, ,0O0) simply cover the cost of construction and ma terial used in the construction of the water works under the original contract with the Phoenix Construction com pany. In other words. it represents the bare contract price, and no more. It does not include, and could not in- clude. the cost of printing bonds, the cost of surveying. engineering and in- specting, the expense of endeavOring to place the bonds before the contract with the present contractor was effected the cost of water rights, the right of way, extension of the pipe line beyond contract limits. etc. Let us see what some of these items have cost the town.
