The Penalty Helen Gould Pays.

A man with long, tangled hair and
beard, his clothes hanging in shreds
from his half-naked shoulders, was
taken before Magistrate Simms in the
Center street police station yesterday
charged with being vagrant. He said
his name was Joseph Vidal and that he
lived in the United States. When ques-
toned by Magistrate Simms as to his
occupation he leaned contidentially over
the prisoners rail and whispered
81 am in love with Miss Helen
Gould"
"Did you ever see her?" asked the
magistrate.

"but I've seen her picture, and l love
her for the good she does. I've sent her
nine letters to tell her about it. l

she'll be glad to pay postage"
After few further questions, Mag

man to Bellevue hospital for examina-
ton as to his sanity.-New York Sun.

The Great Speaker.

"The public has always had a great
interest in Mr.. Reed ever since his
picturesque individuality emerged from
the common crowd and became con-
spicuous in national affairs. His very
independence of character, manifested
on 80 many notable occasions, and
often in manner calculated to pro-
woke or to exasperate, has won him
admirers and held their admiration.
Unterrifed, unconventional, genial,
dictatorial, obstinate as a mule and vet
as kind as an old negro nanny, al
ways ready to sacrifice material ad-
vantage for the sake of an epigram,
aiming shafts of sarcasm right and
left, saying No with harsh emphas sis
often when his heart felt Yes, the most
eminent of speakers has gone straight
on in his own course, through sunshine
and storm, making friends of the very
men whom he ran into and upset.
Perhaps no other aggressive American
statesman ever provoked 80 much per-
sonal opposition and at the same time
netted 80 few real enemies" New
York Sun.

Tom Reeds Wit.

Mr.. Reed was not frequent speaker
when Occupying a place on the floor,
but whenever he addressed the House
he was always sure of an attentive
hearing. His last important speech
probably was that delivered upon the
Wilson tariff bill in 1894, when, as the
leader of the minority, he opened the
debate In opposition to that measure.
He delighted to indulge in sarcastic,
humorous comments, generally deliv-
cred soto voce, and thereby they gen.
orally escaped place in the record.
James B. Bedford, Representative from
Colorado, some years ago, known as
the "Red-headed Rooster of the Rock
les" was fond of cumulative forms OF
speech, piling Pelion on Ossa. Re-
plying to a fellow member one day,
Belford asked question, to which he
got no reply.
"The gentleman sits dumb, mute, si-
lent" he commented in an impressive
mlnner.
Mr.. Reed, occupying seat near by,
leaning his head upon bis arms after
the fashion of Raphael's angels, con-
vulsed those sitting near him by inter-
jecting: "And he amt saying a word
besides, Belford."

An Obliging Hero.

A woman who visited one of the
hospitals in the south last summer has
been telling story since she came
back to Washington which is good, if
true, and just as good, perhaps, if it
isn't true. While going through the
hospital in question, so she narrates
the incident, a busy looking, duty-lov-
ing woman hustled up to one of the
wounded soldiers who lay gazing at the
ceiling above his cot.
Cant do something for you, my
poor feilow?" said the woman, implor-
ingly.
The poor fellow" looked up languid-
ly. The only things he really wanted
just at that time were his discharge
and box of cigars. When he saw the
strained and anxious look on the good
woman's face, however, he felt sorry
for her, and with perfect sang froid he
replied:
why, yes; you can wash'my face if
you want to-"
Cpd be only too glad to-" gasped the
visitor eagerly.
"All right" said the cavalier, igal-
lantly, ego ahead. It's been washed
twenty-one times already today, but l
don't mind going through it again if
it'll make you any happier. Washing

without Shuflling or Evasion.

From Fenimore Cooper and other
authorities we have gained the impress
sion that the Indian is stolid, severe
individual, with no sense of the white
mans humor, but one red brother show
ed himself quite civilized joker the
other day in the United States court.
He was on the stand in holly contest
ed case, and Attorney D. r. Bailey of
Sioux Falls was after him in the most
approved fashion of cross-examination
Finally, after apparently frightening
the Indian with the awful conse
quences which would follow the slight
est deviation from the truth, Mr..
Bailey took his most portentous tone
and solemn manner and demanded:
Now, sir, want you to tell me the
exact truth, without any shutting or
evasion. want you to look me square
in the eye and tell me how you get
your living, SIR"
The Indian looked straight at Mr.
Bailey, and, with that imperturbable
air familiar to all acquainted with the
red men, simply said, "Eat."
The courtroom roared, even Judge
Garland smiled and Mr.. Bailey let the
witness go.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

BARNEoAT's QUEER CATS,
seme With Tails, Some without, and All
Expert Fishers and Hunters.

GENE With Tails, Some without, and All
Expert Fishers and Hunters.
Speaking of cats" said Capt Josh
Reeves, keeper of the lighthouse at
Sea Isle City, N. j., recalls to mind
the time twenty years ago when every
day for several years | saw hundreds
of the most peculiar cats any man
ever looked upon. At that time l was
keeper of Barnegat Light, on the up
per Jersey coast and in those days
Barnegat was a mighty lonesome spot
There were no pretty summer cottages
spread out along the beach as there
are nowadays, and our only visitors
were the lighthouse inspector and an
occasional sportsman in search of
wild fowl Much of the island, back
TO the big sand dunes, adjacent to the
beach was covered with thick
growth of cedar, holly, oak and half a
dozen other varieties of trees.
Some years before | went to Barne-
gat an English brig was wrecked dur
ing terrific nor'easter on the beach a
short distance from the lighthouse. In
addition to her crew the ship carried
score or more of ManX cats which
were being carried from the Isle of
Man to New York. Nearly all the cats
took to the woods and no effort was
ever made to reclaim them. Forawhile
these tailless animals 1oitered around
the lighthouse in search of food but
as the keeper had no liking for so nu-
nerouS a family of cats he drove
them away.
When | took charge of the light
house the cats had become wild, and
while | could approach within n short
distance of them, they would not al
low themselves to he caught. The
woods were full of cats. A number of
domestic cats were brought from the
mainland by members of the life saw
ing crew on the Island, and several of
these Joined the Manx cats. There
soon were taillesS eats. cats with a
half tail and cats with the regula-
ton tail The animals thrived and
soon became nuisance. In the
thick underbrush of the woods they
raised large litters of young ones.
hey found plenty of food by proving
on the birds that lived in great num-
berS in the woods. Rabbits. which
were plentiful OH the island before
the cats were cast ashore. were soon
killed or driven away. for they were
no match for their feline antagonists.
The cats even became expert fish
erS. | have often watched them at
work. In the spring and fall of the
year large schools of fish swim about
in the surf and these gave the cats
many feast. AS the breakers drove
the fish upon the beach, into few
inches of water, the cats would rush
into the surf and fastening their
claws in the sides of the half strand
ed fish, would carry them high up on
the beach and devour them l have
seen dozens of these eats summing
themselves on the sand hills They
became so troublesome that cat hunt
ing parties became quite popular
among the men living on the mainland,
Dogs were used in chasing the cats to
cover and the sport was quite exciting,
Many cats were killed, but their
places were soon filled by others. I
never saw such peculiar cats as I
found at Barnegat"
