PLAYING ON SYMPATHY.
A Mean BuncO Game on Tender
Hearted Women.
(From the Chicago Sevs.)


fFrom the Chicago Sews)
He wore a heavy blue REFER and carried
coarse burlap bag that was much the
worse from wear After depositing the
bag under the feet of those on the plat
form he calmly sucked the yellow end OF
an unlighted cigarette butt. Something
in the bag moved, and the conductor was
curious.
.'Rabbits?''
Nav, A cat"
Going to take it off somewhere and
lose it?"
Yes, the river is e good dump as any.
Down will go the bag. and the old tom
cat will make hole in the soft mud
The blonde and brunette sitting near the
door had heard it all. Big teardrops came
rolling down their cheeks.
"W-what y-you going to drown the poor
c-cat for?' stammered the blonde, and
then she just broke down and sobbed loud
enough for all to hear
We'll, it's this way, miss said the
youth in the REFER: Mrs. Finnegin
comes down to our fiat and says: Jimmy.
do you want to make quarter 'Sure.
says l. DO you want another ton of
coal basketed up to your fiat?' Nav,
Jimmy, says she; 1 want you to drown
cat What! says I. dropping me goldfish
and looking surprised. Yes, says she. I
want you to take our old Tommy down to
the river. He's got in the habit of jump
ing on the table and drinking the baby's
milk, and the old man won't stand it,
Well, miss, | never took no sport in
drowning cats but quarters are scarce.
Christmas Is coming. and that's how it
happens.
The brunette said something in the
blondes ear. There was hasty unclasp-
ing of pocketbooks and two green notes
reached the youth in the REFER
Now, give us the poor cat" said the
blonde. I'VE will give him good home"
"Sre!"
The youth in the REFER shifted the bag
in and then hoped off at the next cor
ner.
oh" cried the brunette as she opened
the bag and peeped in cautiously.
What kind of cat is it?'' asked the
blonde.
In response the brunette shook the bag
and the contents hoped across the ear.
1t was crippled chicken.
"0h. that young villain has deceived us.
That is the cat we paid to save. Come,
get OFF,
"One moment" said the conductor: you
will have to take the chicken and bag
with YOU"
The last the laughing passengers saw OF
the embarrassed girls they were heading

A $4,000 PIPE FOR A PRESENT.
1t Took One Man 10000 Hours to
Maze II.

CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-The most valuable
pipe in the world, exhibited at the World s
Fair and valued at $4,000, has been pre-
sented to Edmund A. Vogelgesang by his
brother Otto. TO whom it was left by the
Rev. Father Adolph Ebel.
From childhood lover OF art, Father
Ebel worked eighteen years in making
this wonderful pipe. He had studied ar
chitecture and sculpture while in college
in Rome and carved several statues and aR
altar. He undertook this wonderful piece
of work while travelling about the country
in missionary work as a means of oeeu-
pying his spare time. Before the pipe was
completed with all it's decorative figures
of angels, saints, men and animals, ara
besque designs and gold trimmings more
than 20. 600 hours were devoted to the task
When Father Ebel escaped with his life
from bad railroad wreck the pipe alone
of all his baggage was saved.
