CAR A LITTLE FATHER.
Listens to Complaints of White-Haired
Soldier.

St. Petersburg. June 20-While the Gar
was promenading in the pc X Of Zarskoe
Selo. the other morning. H. was surprised
and somewhat taken aback by voice
over his head
Your Majesty-little father
Nicholas looked up and saw a white
haired soldier cleaning a lantern. What
do you want?" asked the Gar.

have to work to the day of our death?'

the politzel
The deuce l will; he would have me
thrashed for my impudence."
The Car grew thoughtful and asked
the veterans name. regiment, etc, pre-
pairing to jot them down on his cuff. but
though he twice repeated the question,
the veteran suddenly held his tongue.
We'll. I can't stay here all day" cried
Nicholas. my wifi is waiting and may
name without delay"
Provided you promise not to tell the
politzel-master. little father"
Il promise"

on the ladder. suspiciously.
Gross my heart, old fellow" Only
then the Cars demand was complied
with
How many years have YOU served me

.'Thirty-seven. little father; never en-
dured punishment. nor ever reprimand'

fee of the Sixteenth Army Corps with
complaints.
The Kaiser wants to make the battles in
which he takes part as true to nature as
possible, and his soldiers willingly carry
out his orders, leaving path Of de-
struction behind them.
Immense fields of cabbage abound in
that country, and the long lines Of cab
bage heads evidently aroused the ire Of
the Emperor's Teutonic warriors, who
with bloodcurdling war whoops furiously
charged upon the defenseless cabbages
and decapitated every one of them.
Now this was probably all right from a
German military viewpoint, and the peas
ants of the neighborhood, who had fig
ured on selling their vegetables, are per
fectIy willing to let the Kaiser and the
invincible German army have all the
glory of having defeated the crops, II
the war department will only pay for
the loss.
The Kaiser, on the contrary, does not
feel disposed TO pay for damage caused
by his armies, and has said some very
hard words about citizens who ought TO
be glad 10 sacrifice their hfeblood for
the "Vaterland,' but who are mean
enough to want money for few thou
and head of cabbage
Hasn't he just launched magnificent
new battleship and given it the name,
'AIsace' in honor of the annexed pro-
vince? And then these misery peasants
dare to speak Of money?
It is peculiar how little some people ap-
preciate what you do for them!

H. VARDoN's VICTORY.
Open Golf Championship is Great
Success


London, June 20-Harry Vardon's vic
tory in the open golf championship makes
it the fourth time he has won the honor,
and he has thereby equalIed the num-
Der of successes achieved by both odd"
and Young Tom" Morris. 1t is consid-
cred that his play at Prestwick proves he
has recovered the form which was i'm
paired by the visit to America.
His aggregate is the lowest that the
championship has ever been won IN since
the competition was extended to thirty
Sin holes. His play was 50 brilliant the
first day that he was looked on as a
certain winner. and his remarkable 72-
Thursday morning gave him such lead
that a 30 round in the afternoon would
still probably have kept him first on the
list. He consequently played a very eau
tious game. therefore, not being marked
by the brilliancy Of the morning. Some
Of his best shots were perfect brassey
which carried him clear over Cardinals
Knob. a splendid brassey which laid him
on the ninth green, and another great
brassey az the thirteenth over the dyke.
Harrv's Younger brother. Tom. was the
runner up. He was fifth last year at
Hoylake. which was previously his best
performance.
The present amateur champion. Mr..
Robert Maxwell. was fourteenth on the
list. eighteen strokes behind Vardon's

found the following letter in his mail the
other morning:
Dear King: We are four boys at Flax
kebjerb school and the master whips US

the King ordered him to report at once
TO the minister of justice, while he took
the next train for Flakkebjerg and ex
amined the class in the teachers absence.
The children, unawed by their superior.
told their grievances TO the kindly old
king. who promised immediate relief,
closed the school for the day and ordered
that the boys be treated to chocolate
and cake at his expense.
Then returning 10 Copenhagen he dis
missed the cruel teacher without pension,
at the same time warning the rest not TO
whip the boys again, as he intends 10
keep an eye on the institution as long as

TON CAT Is

Nightly Experiment Ends in
Feline Devastation

London. June 2o.-Probably nowhere on
earth is a peace-Ioving community more
annoyed o'nights by phnandering cats on
every roof and back wall than is the pop
uIation Of London. From midnight till
dawn these animals. which sleep all day
in order to be fresh for the nights and
other waulings, have possession Of the
town
Just now, for the first time, a genius
has risen with what appears TO be sue
cessful remedy for the evil. 1t consists
OF nothing less than the invention OF a
fearsome autOmaton tom cat made up Of
2 tin frame and covered. with fur coat.

with stif black tail standing up de-
family in the air. and a ghostly look in
fits sightless eyes. This baneful glare IS
produced by four-volt electric battery
slowed away in that portion of Toms"
anatomy generally occupied by the diges-
tive organs
The general principle of construction,
according 10 the British inventor, is based
upon powerful cIockwork, released by a
lever when the tail Of the animal is
moved.
The clock works a pair Of bellows with
two loud screeching reeds at the same
time forming contact to light the lamps
in the eyes, and forcing outwards
dozen long needle points which come up
through the skin of the back. The tail
also acts as a trigger, and releases a
hammer formed of the lower jaw of the
In the mouth.
One night recently an experiment was
made. The clockwork was wound up
and the beast placed in a back garden.
in due course a ferocious tabby of loose
character and with chips off its ears
walked up to the stranger to give battle
while a dozen of his lady friends sat
around to see the fun.
Without the slightest provocation he
few at the automatic cat. removed a
lump of loose hair from his back and
broke his tail In half.
That ended the first round, but it was
only the signal for the tin tom cat to
get into action he tail exploded the
percussion of caps in the cats mouth with
q sound resembling that of a small can
non; the electric eyes blazed out like
searchlights, while heart-rending shrieks
rent the air from the bellows inside, and
the needle points got their business ends
into the tabby cat.
Within a few seconds the garden was
clear, and pale-faced pussies We're tear
ing off through the quiet streets in search
of home comforts. 1t was more than a
month before they ventured to peep over
the wall TO see if the black terror was
still in possession.

The people of New Mexico resolved
that they would Show the president

would go back on his word. In spite
of all that the Rough Riders who live
there could do and who wanted to
make great occasion of the coming
of Teddy, the legislature refused to
pass any resolution or to appoint a
committee to receive the president.
After relating the above facts, cor
