Puss IN The LOWS DEN.
The Little Cat insisted on Being
Friends with Her Big Cousin.

The Little Cat Insisted on Being
Friends with Her Big Cousin.
Tiny, a pet cat at Glen Island. was
seen one morning mewing piteously
under a cage containing a large lion.
She had been injured and hoped
about on three legs For comfort. or
perhaps companionship. she crawled
into the lions cage and began to make
herself at home. The lion opened his
eyes wide with wonder at the pre-
sumption, then for time paid no
more attention to her than IL she had
been a fly.
A keeper took long-handled broom
and tried to shove her out of the cage.
The lion snarled and his eyes shone
wickedly. Tiny started toward the
lion, when the big cat threw out his
paw to push her away. Taking the
lions act only In play, she was up In
a second. and clasping the huge paw
between her tiny forefeet she began
to lick it affectionately. From that
moment the injured kitten and the
lion were friends.
She afterward took shine to the
polar bear and crawled between the
bars of the den, but the bear looked
at her askance and then climbed up
the rocks in the rear of the den, where
1t was safe.
The only cage that puss keeps away
from is occupied by a black monkey,
which thrust its paw out and clutched
the end of Tiny's tail and bit it.

Correcting History.

Recently the Emporia Gazette attri-
huted to the late Joe Ady the state
ment about Senator Burton that, Il
would rather have that fellows nerve
than a license to steal"
1t was Bakers luck and noe Bur-
toms nerve that the late Joe Ady val
ned above a license to steal. 1t was
the occasion of the Senatorial caucus
I'm 1895. Ady, Burton. Hood, Thatcher
and others had sought the Republican
nomination but had sought In vain.
Baker had not sought the place, but
the toga had fallen upon his shoulders.
After the die had been cast and the
contest ended the various Candidates
were called before the caucus and
made to dive down Into deep floods
of disappointment and remorse and
bring up from the peDbly bottom ex-
pressions of loyalty to the principles
of the party, satisfaction as to the re-
sult and CONGRATULATIONS for the cho-
sen champion. 1t was then that the
brilliant, clean and worthy Joe Ady
said: al would rather have his (Bak-
er's) luck than a license to steal"
1t was on that occasion that Burton
limited at the blots upon his past ca
reer that had made his defeat pos
sible and said: when will the stat
ute of limitations apply?'
Consumption had already made deep
marks upon poor Joe Ady, and he
went to Colorado to linger q few
years and to die.
Six years later the statute of limi-
tations had applied" and Burton was
elected to the United States Senate.
Baker served in the Senate for SIX
years, but was hardly big enough to
stand alone in such a high place and
gracefully retired when he found he
could not be reelected, Judge Thath-
er Is dead. Hood is enjoying his great
wealth and REORGANIZATION Tri-

Butterfly Farms.

There are a number of butterfly
farms in France. where the object Is
to breed rare specimens of the silk
worm family. Several new varieties
have been obtained by crossing, and
an effort is being made to acclimatize
species that belong to other countries.
The farms have oak, ailsnthus, pine,
and plum trees. and castor-oil plants,
on the leaves OF which the caterpil-
lars feed. Cocoons are hatcned on

YOUR MONEY RETURNED
If Hyomei Does Not Cure You Of Oatarrh
Says Feldmeyer Bros.


In advertising that they will refund
the money to any one purchasing a
Hyomei outfit who can say that it has
done them no good In the treatment
Of catarrh, Feldmeyer Brothers mean
exactly what this guarantee says.
OF course, the percentage of cures
bysHyomei is nearly one hundred, or
else they could not afford to
make this unusual offer. But If
the treatment should not be adapted
to your case there will be no ques-
tions or quibblings when you GO to
get your money.
That the beginning of catarrh is
due to the presence of germs in the
air passages is now admitted by every
physician. 1t stands to reason that
catarrh cannot be cured unless these
germs are first destroyed. The Hy-
omei treatment kills the catarrh
germs even in the minutest air cells,
soothes and heals the irritated mu-
eous membrane, and makes complete
and lasting cures in cases that have
resisted the usual methods of treat
ment.
Catarrh cannot be cured by medi-
cines administered through the stom-
ach. Hyomei is the only natural meth.
cd, and it has made cures that seem
miraculous. An outfit costs but $1.00
and consists of an inhaler which will
last lifetime and sufficient Hyome
for more than a months treatment.
Additional bottles of Hyomei can be
procured for SOC.
Feldmeyer Brothers give their per-
sonal guarantee with every Hyomei
outfit they sell to refund the money
If it does not cure.

The End-Seat Man.

senger has come to be known as the end

The Brooklyn Citizen takes the side Of the
man in the end seat. with this remark:
Complaints about the end seat man in
the open car are unjusttiable. First come
first served, is proverb that finds ap-
prevail wherever strangers are gathered in
accidental contact: and there is no more
reason for expecting a man to give up the
seat in car which he has had a chance
to select than his seat In restaurant
because some one else wants it,
Now the difficulty about this application
of a general truth to a specific case of
''first-come -frst-served" is that the man at
the end of the seat becomes an obstacle to
others. lie is not only occupying a seat to
which he is strictly entitled, but he is
making it difficult. often impossible. for
later corners to reach the seats that await
them and to which they are in turn en-
titled. 1t Is though the first conner had

Recent Seismic Shocks.
From the New York Herald.

A West Indian cable dispatch from King
ston, in the island of St Vincent. states
that on Tuesday morning a severe earth
quake was felt, accompanied by subter-
ranean sound of cracking, which shook the
buildings and threw the populace into a
state of CONSERVATION. This seismic shock
was a sequel of recent slight agitationS Of
the SOuffriere volcano. which since the 10th
instant has been emitting puffs of smoke.
1t is very remarkable that this severe earth
quake in st. Vincent was followed in TWEEN
ty-four hours by slight shocks at Salt Lake
City and by the Severest earthquake ever
felt at Ogden, thirty-seven miles north of
Salt Lake.
1t may possibly be a question whether
the St Vincent and Utah earth tcemors
were related to each other. y great earth
quake may make itself felt over immense
areas. the terrestrial wave travelling usu-
ally at the rate of three hundred to four
hundred miles an hour. and sometimes ex-
tending to distances of six thousand or
seven thousand miles from the center of
disturbance. The terrible Lisbon earth
quake of November l. 100, was felt over
fifteen millions of square miles, or nearly
one twelfth of the earth's surface, and was
preceded and followed in the state Of New
York by very perceptible oscillations Of the
soil. which Were attributed to the same
general cause invoked to explain the I'M
precedented transatlantic catastrophe. But

The Papal Succession.

Tho situation at Rome respecting the

features which are but imperfeCtly under

the speculation from that quarter is inter-
,.StinE but its real value cannot in this
country hope to appraise. The Conciave
may sit three days or thirty. The result
may he the election of a cardinal proml-
ueut in the public eye. or "A dark horse may
hc chosen. Who knows?
1t is everywhere agreed that the late
pope was a great man and achieved great
results He strengthened his church in
every section of Christendom. His policies
though sometimes challenged in his own
religious household. az a rule justified
themselves. Not in its centuries of exist
cnce has the Roman Catholic Church eXer-
cised so much influence as 1t does today
Its few domestic quarrels are we'll in
hand and it's relations with the outside
world are pleasant and in some instances
cordial.
We say that Leo did this because he eX-
crciScd the supreme authority. But of
course he had his advisers, and they should
share in the credit of the general result.
The chief of these was Cardinal Rampolla,
and. very naturally. he figures prominently
among the candidates for the vacant place.
The argument In his favor is that. as he
was 50 intimately connected with the
shaping and the executing of the policies
which have wrought so much good for the
church and for other interests as we'll the
power should now be given him to carry
them on to their logical conclusion. What
could he more undesirable than to have
those policies abandoned and others brought
forward OF a nature to convey to the
world the suggestion that reactionary in
nuenCes are now in control?
But brilliant as he Is and influential as
lie was in the councils OF Leo. Cardinal
R4mpolla is by no means the sole hope of
those who wish for progress in the church
along the lines pursued during the past
quarter of a century. Cardinal Vannutclli
Is described both a statesman and dip
lomat and in full sympathy with his age.
Cardinal Gotti is represented as man of
very broad views. Cardinal Sarto is an
other man of fine powers, who has i'm
pressed himself on his brethren. And, to
a familiar AmercaniSm. there are
others. In fact. as. with but one exception.
tn" whole college is composed of members
appointed by Leo, the choice is very likely
to fall upon some one deeply imbued with
his principles.
The attitude of the church In America has
not been indicated IN the premises. but
there can be no doubt that Cardinal Glib
hons will faithfully represent American
sentiment and have regard for American
interests by his vote in the conCave
