A Kittens I~nfe1ligence,

A. hungry kitten Was put into a cage,
the door Of which would fall open
when a loop of wire hat hung tn front
of the cage was pulled down an inch.
The kitten tried to squeeze between
the bars, clawed and bit at them,
thrust it's paws out between the bars
and clawed at various loose objects in
the cage It clawed the loop several
times, but not with enough force to
pull it down. After 16O seconds Of such
activity, it happened to claw the loop
hard enough, and SO escaped.
After it had eaten. b food outside,
it was put into the box again. There
was q repetition of the same activities,
but the successful movement came this
time after thirty seconds. On b next
trial, general activity for ninety sec
onds vas required before the kitten es-
capped. With repeated trials the asso-
citation between the interior of the box
and the act of clawing at the loop be
came fixed, so that finally the kitten
would do it in q few secondS-that is

A Scotch AntigoIf Law.

Scotland, as everybody knows, is the
land where golf originated and the land
where it most fourishes. But if the
law were strictly enforced north CT the
Tweed it would go hard with the play

know it, but they are liable to a sen
tence of death for their indulgence in
their favorite sport. Technically, this
is literally a fact. In ancient times,
when Scotland always had work for
her soldiers to do, all young men were
required ~totperfect themselves In arch

GAMBLING BY CONGRESSMEN
Very Little Now Compared with
O8den Times.

Very Little Now Compared With
Osden Times.
AS a matter Of fact, there is little
or no gambling now in the capitol COM
pared with the conditions of years ago.
There used to be a time when certain
committee Don were the rendezvous
for poker players, and the games were
generally without limit.
Many senators and representatives
do not object to a little game now, but
they play in the evening and not at the
capitol. There were poker stories ga
lore around the capitol in the olden
days. One incident became a classic.
There YVES a party in the of a
southern congressman, ard the game
ran high. 4 western member opened
a Jack pot, and the southerner, who
was upon his left, came in, together
with two other congressman. The west
erner stood pat, Whereupon the south
erner- discarded two cards. The bet
ting began and soon became SO swift
that only the southerner and the west
erner remained. Finally the latter
called his colleague, and b hands
were shown.
The westerner had opened the pot on
our kings. AS soon as he stood pat
the southerner broke a pair Of skies
and held the four, five and six Of
spades in his hand, hoping against hope
to make a spade flush. He was dealt
the seven and eight Of spades. making
q straight flush.
The western member didn't say q
| word when he learned what had hap
| pened, but it was noticeable that he
didn't touch a caro- again during that

THANKSGIVING IN LONDON.
How 1t Was Observed by the Ameri-
can Society.

London, Nov. 27.-Nearly 500 Ameri-
can citizens and a sprinkling of dis
tinguished Englishmen and women
participated in the annual Thanksgiv-
ing dinner held at the Cecil Hotel to-
night under the auspices of the Amer
lean Society in London.
The company included Ambassador
Choate and Mrs. Choate. all the MEM
bers of the embassy staff now here,
Robert Mccormick, American ambas-
sador to Russia; Consul General EV-
ans. the Rt Hon. II. SsGuith Lord
Reay, Lord Fairfax (the American
peer), Field Marshal Lord Roberts and
Sir Henry Norman. The speeches
were numerous and abounded in good
feeling and reciprocal compliments
Toasts in honor of King Edward and
of President Roosevelt were drunk
with equal enthusiasm.
Mr., Asquith, proposing the health of
Ambassador ChOate, jokingly alluded to
the dread American invasion" In re-
spending to this toast, Ambassador
Choate happily replied to MIR. Asquiths
reference by saying:
Ladies and Gentlemen: There is
one combine which meets the approval
of the peoples of bothenations: that is
efN ThNieAhAlR NOillDiliC WHICH Is IlOM SA-
listing and which unites the people of
both countries. America finds herself
now the happy recipient of good will
from all nations. Columbia finds her
self in the enviable. but embarrassing,
position of having suitors from all
countries in the world, but, ladies and
gentlemen, Columbia does not mean to
give herself away; she means, like
your great Queen Elizabeth, to main
tain her independence to the end. At
the same time 1t cannot but be conced-
ed that she best understands the over
turs from her kindred, from those of
her own race and tongue"
Referring to the origin of Thanksgiv-
ing Day, Mr.. Choate eloquently al
luded to President Roosevelt. who, he
said. was so strong brave and true
that he might himself have been the
leading spirit of the Mayfiower. 1t was
his influence and example. continued
Mr.. Choate, that was responsible for
the interest the young Americans were
now showing in politics, and the vigor,
courage and human sympathy with
which Mr.. Roosevelt brought the coal
strike to a successful outcome, were
the admiration of all countries in the
world.
