"Sphakin' av cats,' said Matt Law son, the broad-brOgued son of Erin who drives the delivery team for the N. c. company, always reminds me of Bert Splncer. Spincer is wan of thim fel- lers lhot always has to have lot av pets around him; he's got what you might call an naffectshunale dispo,ishun. This winter his fancy turned to cats, thot shore to form a ra!spertable D.. o. C. society in metropollyton city. We niver could get ony risl fer his all ways bein' talkin' about the wondherful prowesS av thim cats. His Particu!a r Favyrite isa tiyer-patterued tabby that wears bells around his neck, and lays down and rolls over, and gets up and tips over the writing hooid and does other things on Splncer's desk, and Spincer thinks he's the rale inte ictual animal, but 1 can't see whut he's good for except to make lap robes out av, and there ant nary enough av him fer thot. As me frnd Kelly sez, the only thing cats good fer is to make violins out av--but that's another story, about Kelly and his violin. Spincer's Special Pride is Holstein colored fteline thOt he kapes up at his rsidence. Spincers always been dilatin' upon the wondher- ful abilities of that cat in the rat ketchin' trade. To hear him crate about the fghtin' qualities of thot cat you'd think it waz a descindint of the famous Kilkenny clan.
 Well, last Sunday, wan av thim Swedes that worruks around the ware house goes out and get big rat in a trap and brings it iLtO the sthOre, and calls all the byes around to see the fun of the rat bein' killed by thim famous cats. They puts the rat in the sthorm vesty bule and closes all the dhures, and Spincer brings out his Particular Favyrite and turns him loose. Every body fiocks around and rubbers through the glass dhures to view the execution. The Particular Favyrite espies the TO- dent over in the corner and begins to walk over to it kin0 O slow and inter- ested like. The rat backs up feminist the wall his two eyes glistenin' like little brown beads, and jist as the Par, ticular Favyrite, gets within aisy spakin' distance, the rat make spring and blffs him clout in the shoot. The Particular Favyrite luks around kind bewuluered-like, and while he's trying to figure out whot hit him the rat climbs up on his back and fastens it's teeth lu the scruff of his neck. The Particular Favyrite all of suddint seems to re. mimber he's late for m appointment

THE COLOR LINE IN OLEOMAR-

The fact that the commissioner of in
ternal revenue has imposed a fine on King
an & Co. for manufacturing oleomargarine
colored in imitation of butter, which
was returned as uncolored, does not argue
anything against the honesty of the firm
or the purity of the goods. 1t simply shows
a difference of opinion between the firm and
the government authorities as to the mean
ing of the term 'uncolored." The oleomar-
garine law. which took effect July 1, 1902,
provides for a tax of 10 cents per pound
to be paid by the manufacturer uSon all
oleomargarine. 1t also provides that when
oleomargarine is free from artificial color
alton that causes it to look like butter of
any shade of yellow, said tax shall be one
fourth of / cent per pound The object
of the law was to compel oleomargarine
to be put on the market in its natural
state, which is white. 1t was passed in the
interest of butter makers. although it is
notorious that much of the so-called pure
butter is colored. All dairy butter is col
ored, as Is most country" butter. When
the law imposing a prohibtory tax on col
ored oleomargarine was passed manufac-
turers at once tried to find a way of pro-
ducing an oleomargarine that would look
like butter without being artificially colored.
Some of the best chemists in the country
were employed in trying to solve this prob
lem. For a while palm oil was successfully
used. This is a pure vegetable oil. and the
only possible objection to it was that il gave
brrf N 10 nj arfn or
this reason the government construed il as
coioring matter and imposed heavy fines
for its use. AS IL only takes one-tenth of
i per cent of palm oil to produce the de-
sired butter color in oleomargarine, it is
evident its use was perfectly harmless. But
the internal revenue authorities construed
| il as coloring matter and that settled it.
| tried to color their product by introducing a
proportion of pure butter. which it was
found contained enough coloring matter to
give color to the oleomargarine. AS the
/ law defines what is butter and what is oleo-
| margarine il is difficult TO see how the use
ing a butter color TO oleomargarine could
be illegal. but the revenue officers held that
| IL was. Able lawyers think differently, and
the point will probably go to the Supreme
Court of the United States AS the manu-
facturers OF dairy butter are only re-
quired to pay tax of one-quarter cent a
| pound IL seems unjust and inconsistent 70
| require the manufacturers of oieomargarins
who color their product with dairy but
ter to pay 10 cents a pound on an article
as pure and harmless In Its composition and
