Some Talk of Rolt.
After adjournment the delegates con-
greSated in groups and much excitement
was evident. Charges Of trickery flew
thick and fast, and today there may be
a bolt from the convention One of the
principal causes for opposition to the
administration faction is that the pres
iGent, VI. d. Ratchford, now holds gov
ernment office. and it is thought that
he should not exercise the functions of
the presidential office and take so much
interest in the election of officers as he
does. President Ratchford was sup
ported in his contention against District
President Dolan for the right to appoint
the committee on credentials by q vote
of a07 against 121. The committee con-
sists Of p. ]. keenan,. of Illinois; Walter
Cavery, Of PENNSYLVANIA, and Joseph
Smart, of Ohio. Dolan wanted one del

SHAKESPEARE AND THE LAW.

Lord Campbell once wrote little

was at one period Of his life a lawyers
clerk. Shakespeare frequent and
exact use Of legal terms is undeniable,
and 1t is one Of the matters OF evil

of the plays having been written by
Lord Bacon; but Shakespeare's latest

HOW THE CAT WAS CREATED.
To Rescne st. Francis From Plague
of Mice.

! send you translation have made
of an Italian legend of how the cat
was created, written by Antonio De
Nino. Many are the proverbs about
cats in the Abruzzi. st. Francis de
Paula performed so many miracles
that the devil was made i'll with envy
Once he entered the cell OF st. Francis
in the shape of a grand nobleman with
a box full of heavy gold pieces. Here,
Francis" said he, take these, don't
remain in this miserable howell, enjoy
life; it is strewn with roses, why do
you collect all the thorns?" ST
Francis, without more ado, raised his
hand and made the sign of the cross,
whereupon the fine gentleman dis
appeared amid clouds of sulphur
smoke. Another time the devil led
lovely damsels, barefooted and lightly
clothed. into the cell of the saint, and
.Ehen queens and expresses Of glorious
beauty, covered with jewels and wrap
ped in nantes of gold tissue But St
Francis stood there like a log Of wood,
and at last made the sign Of the cross,
when everything disappeared The
devil was furious. 81 must find some
way to make this sto}it -feilow 4ose
patience"
After much thought he rubbed his
hands with delight. He created mice,
and they multiplied by thousands in
the wink of an eye. The cell of St
Francis was filed by them, and he
tried in vain to drive them out with
his hands and feet. But as he drove
them out of the door they swarmed
in at the window, and when he closed
both door and window they crept up
through holes in the brick floor or
dropped down through cracks in the
ceiling. Then they clambered IN the
saints tunc, made beds in his straw
mattress, played pranks in his provi-
sion basket, and were generally Of
fensive AT last st. Francis, after
reciting a fervent prayer burst out
laughing. The mice were beginning to
attack him in thousands, when a
beautiful little cat was created in the
sleeve of his tunic SO he cried to
the mice, 81 implore you to stop and
go your ways or you viii repent It,"
The mice answered by pushing
their noses against the bare skin Of the
saint, as though they wanted to pierce
through him, so he drew the beautiful
little cat out of his sleeve with such a
miraculous hunger that it swallowed
two at a time of the big ones and three
or four of the little ones. St Francis
hoped they would have been exter-
minated, and rushed to stop up a hole
in the ceiling Che had already shut
the door and the Window, but he was
not quick enough. A pair OF mice
managed to escape, and thus we have
those tiresome mice all over the world.
st. Francis then muttered another
prayer, and his beautiful little cat
was granted a companion. They
multiplied exceedingly, and have al
ways been favorites with devout old
ladies because they are creation Of
