Strikers Jailed for Contempt.

Little Rock, Ark, May Elm the
United States district court here Judge
A. Williams imposed a Jail sentence OF
six months upon Guy Miller and Alden
Hayes for contempt of court in boarding
street car and interfering with the
non-union motormen who are employees
of the courts receivers now operating
the street car system. 1t was contend
ed by the defense that the motorman
and conductor were not on duty at the
time, but the court held that it made
no difference and the receivers en-
ployes as such are entitled to the pro-
lection of the court at all times. The
court further decided that the further
use of the term ''scab'' as applied to
non-union employees who are under the
courts protection was in itself very
near contempt and must be stopped.

Don't Disturb the Cat.

When II. M. Stanley was writing
Through the Dark Continent" he was
in the habit of spreading his maps and
charts upon the floor. One day his ia
vorite cat went to sleep on a chart
spread out on the hearth rug. By and
by the chart was wanted. and one or
the assistants went to turn pussy
away, when Stanley stopped him.
Don't disturb the cat" he said, we
can get on without the map until she
wakes up. If you only knew how
good the sight of that cat was to me
you would never let her move from
where she is" After his trials among
uncivilized tribes the sleeping cat was
to him the symbol of domestic peace
and comfort.

A Husbands Euiogy.

The minister tells the story himself
He had been called upon to attend TIT!
funeral of a wife and mother, and
coming home from the grave he rode
in the carriage with the bereaved hus-
band. The latter had made no remark
for some time and the clergyman felt
that it was his duty to offer some
consolation to the lonely mourner,
and he was turning over in his mind
appropriate words when the man be-
gan to speak slowly and thoughtfully.
"She was a good woman he said;
"she took good care of my house, she
took good care Of my children, and
she darned my socks" Then he drew
long breath, and concluded with
more emphasis: But l never liked
her. "-lndianapolis Press.

bowl-shaped affair made of narrow
strips of some fine species Of rattan.
1t is OF several thicknesses, and is Inn

Cake Walk Gives Grace.

A western advocate of physical
culture for women claims that the cake

more than to show how plant the
limbs can become and what a charm
graceful motion has for the critical OBJ

vises women to put some of the grace
acquired through the study Of physi-
cal culture into the sitting still posi-
ton, and not to look upholstered, like
the rest of the furniture, for it is claim
ed that in the matter of sitting Amer
lean women are VIGOROUSLY at fault.
