And Finding It an Easy Victim tn Feline Victor Has Become De-
 morRIlzed.

Ont on the West side, with a family named Parker, lives q large and sad eyed cat. His name is Victor, but his appearance indicates that he had better have been christened Vanquished. One ear is missing. one eye gone, and there is an absence of fur On various portions of his body. His bearing is abject and his gait sneaking. and a general air of might have seen better days" is ap- parent in his conduct. The story of Victor's downfall is no less interesting than it is sad.
 A year ago he was frisking kitten, with a good home, 2 good name, and fine, glossy coat. He was noted for his gentle ways. never offering violence

Mrs. Pengurn's Quick Ears.

''Mom, wasn't that pretty good ?'' asked little Caleb Penguin of his moth CT, as the closing strains of Home, Sweet Home," played on a harmonica, foated down from his room.
 Pretty good for Susan," was his mothers reply, whereat Caleb laughed with delight in which he was joined by his older sister. Susan. who indeed, had made the music. The difference in their playing, wEGa the players were not visible, was not distinguishable by Mir. Penguin; he had seen little Caleb carrying off the harmonica, and he thought that this was Caleb playing now. But not so Mrs. Penguin. She has the mothers instinct. She knows every beat of the children's hearts, and she could tell the children one from another by their breathings in the dark. If Caleb and Susan played the harmonica so much alike that nobody else could tell 'em apart, she could easily. They can't focl their mother.
 It makes the children laugh and Mir. Penguin wonder.-N. I. Sun.

LAMB LOVED THE CITY.
The English Poet Preferred to Live in London Rather Than in
 the Country.

Lovers of Charles Lamb, who are probably more numerous in America than in England, however our British
 cousins may try to persuade them selves to the contrary, may like to be | be reminded. for we opine that the
 more studious among them already
 know. that a find" of old letters ad-
 dressed to the members of one family
 was lighted upon in the earlier part | of the year 1898. and has just been published under the title of Charles
 Lamb and the Lloyds" Who the Lloyds
 were they need not be told if they re- member the earlier recollections of Lambs correspondence, or, not remem- boring these accurately, arel familiar with the biographies of his good friends, CooIeridge and Southey, where in two of the Lloyds figure. What most concerns them is that there are B of these letters, none of which has been in print before, and they have the touch and the flavor of Ella, as
 may be inferred from the abstract from
 one of the number, addressed to Rob-
 ert Lloyd, in praise of London life, of
 which he knew nothing, and Lamb so much. thorough cockney that he was:
 Let them talk of lakes and moun- tains and romantic Gales-all that fan tastic stuff; give me q ramble by night
 in the winter nights of LonGon-the
 lamps lit-the pavements of the motley Strand crowded with to and from pas sengers-its shops all brilliant and stuffed with obliging customers and
 oblging tradesmen-give me the old
 al of ha light piazzas, Covent garden. I defy man to be dull in such places, per feet Mohammedan paradises upon earth. l have lent out my heart with usury to such scenes from my child hood up and have cried with fullness of joy at the multitudinous scenes of life in the crowded streets of ever dear London
 T wish you could fix here. I don't know if you quite comprehend my low urban taste; but depend upon it that a man of any feeling will have given his heart and his love in childhood and in boyhood to any scenes to which he has been bred; as well as to dirty streets (and smoky walls as they are called) as to the green lawns where live nib bling sheep and to the everlasting hills and lakes and dales. A mob of men is better than a flock of sheep, and q crowd of happy faces jostlihg into the playhouse at the hour of six is more beautiful spectacle to man than a shep- herd driving his silly sheep to the fold. Come to London and learn to sympathize with my natural emotions" \. !. Mail and Express.

DUAL LIFE OF OAKLEY HALL.
For Months He Had an Existence of Which He Was Wholly Un-
 conscious.

Oakley Hall was once connected with an American paper in London. His aim here was to achieve high name at the English bar. He was the son of an Eng lishman and therefore he was in Eng fish law an Englishman whenever he chose to declare himself He made no success because he lived wholly in the past and his mental inclinations were solely reminiscent.
 From the day of his mysterious dis appearance from New York he lost the power to utilize his brain in any way that could earn him living. When he returned from Europe after that disap- pearance he and I were closeted for months together in the office of Mir. Hulbert's New York World. Then it was that he told me the truth about his disappearance, and without knowing whether or not it has been published in America, will repeat it briefly.
 He said that one morning he woke up in hall bedroom in Mayfair, in the heart of London, and as he lay in bed looking with wonder at his surround ings a woman knocked and entered the room. She asked him if he would have his usual breakfast. He inquired what his usual breakfast was, and she, as- tonished in her turn, told him that he always had a pennyworth of'tea, pen ny roll, penny pot of butter, and an egg which cost penny.
 He asked her to sit down and then, by cross-eXamining her, he found that he had lived a whole season in that house under q name lie never knew; that he appeared to be "city man" (English

 Money so spent will return hun- ] dredfold in the advance in the price of i tkeir greatest product. If the six great i corn states would devote one-tenth of i one per cent. of the annual value of l their present corn crop for a single

OUR CORN AT PARIS.
Movement to Secure a Good Display
 at the Big Fair.
The Project Is to Have the Corn States Contribute Money to Fur ther the Sale of the Prod
 uct Abroad.

The National Business league is to join hands with he American Maize propaganda in an effort 10 make dis play of this cereal at the Paris eXposi- ton such as will acguaint 1he world with it's value as a food product. The appropriation by the national govern l.-ent Of S75.CC0 for a display of the ag- ricultural resources of this country at the exposition will be wholly inaG1- qEate. i. is thought. to evan attempt the practical showing which 1t is felt corn must have if it is to receive any benefit from the opportunity which the exposition offers. For this reason the secretary of the National Business league has been instructed 10 write every member Of congress and to the secretary of agriculture urging fur ther appropriation in tlis direction. It is also proposed 10 ask the states em- hraced in the corn belt Of the country to make appropriations. and bill ap- rropriating $24.G00 has already been introduced in the Illinois legislature.
 The proposton. winch originated with the Maize prOpaganda. and which has been indorsed by the Business league, is. among ether things. to maintain at the Paris exposition ''corn Ritchen,' where the uses and adaptability of corn as q food product will be practically demonstrated.
 A committee of the Maize propaganda laid the matter fore Commissioner General Peck some time ago. and re- quested that space be set apart in the American division of the agricultural departme mt for the ''cOrn kitchen" Mr. Peek agreed with the arguments ad- vanced by he committee as 10 the good results likely to come from a display Of corn products, and agreed 10 set apart space 4GX1O feet in the agri- cultural pavilion for the kitchen.
 The question of what help the gov ernment would give came up for discus sion, and MT. Peck stated that inas- much as only $75.0GO had been appro- priated for the entire agricultural dis play. it would hardly Ee possible to de vote the sum required for the display outlined by the committee. It was promised, however. to do everything possible to make an adequate display of corn.
 The Maize propaganda also has un- der consideration the erection of corn palace at the exposition, and already elaborate designs have been suggested in that direction. Just what will be done ir this particular depends upon the amount of money available. but it is the belief of the officers Of the prop uganda that it will be constructed.
 The propaganda has just issued a short address on this subject. which it terms "A Practical Plan to Teach the World to Eat Corn,'' and which appeals l to the corn states for help. | II says. after reciting the inadequacy ]
