A Remarkable Cat.

Capt. r, r. Reeves, of Oil
Trough has an old house cat with
a record for produetiveness that
can't be beaten. She is two and 4
half years old and we have faint
suspicion that she is the original
promulgator of the present Roose-
welt platform. The Roosevelt
platform, it will be remem-
bered, is The free and unlimited
coinage of young Americans. " At
any rate the old cat is a firm be-
lever in the Roosevelt platform,
for within the past fourteen
months she has given birth to Is
kittens; four the first time, five the
second time, six the third time,
five the fourth time and, It few
days ago, just to show that she
was a faithful observer of the
principles of the Roosevelt doc
trine, she gave birth to eight more
good-sized healthy kittens making
a total of Is in fourteen months.

The Professors flare.

McPeek, Tex, June 2.
Editor The Journal.
Please allow me space to say a
word or two in regard to the pro-
fessor's buggy horse, which | un-
derstand he wants to sell. OF
course | wouldn't misrepresent the
mare for anything.
The mare was raised in Indiana
80 years ago. She was drove from
there to Shelby county, Tennessee
by some migrants; was rode from
there to Dallas, Tex, the next
night, and the next evening to
Upshur county. She was sold at
a public sale a short time after
wards for 81. 80 to one of the di-
rectors where the professor taught
his last school and / think he trad
ed her to the professor for two
months of his wages. The pro-
fessor and his family left here rid
ing the mare some time ago bound
for Arkansas.
The mare is the grandmother of
the famous Maud S and the pro-
fessor says she can't be beaten as
as buggy horse. He says that

The prospects for a big crop oil
cotton this year seem rather I'M
favorable at present. Cotton is
late; in many fields the stand is
defective, and it is too late to
remedy the defect; the soil over
considerable areas in the best cot
ton growing sections is IN bad con-
dition on account of the ineessant
rains. The summer and fall weather
may influence the yield materially,
but on this feature Of the case no
safe predictions can be made. But
we have the statistical fact that a
small cotton crop sells for more
money than large one, SO why

THE LADY COOK.

A New Career For Working Gentle
women.
Educated women Of gentle birth in
stead of devoting themselves to the i'll
paid work of goyernesses are now en-
bracing the calling Of cooks, says the
London Daily Mall Many mistresses
have lately specially asked at the regis
try offices for lady cooks.
The secretary of the central bureau
for the employment of women in South
ampton street, Holborn, London, says
there Is a demand for cooks who are
genuewomen by birth and education.
But there are difficulties in the way un-
less misresses are able to promise GER
tain privileges which the ordinary
cook. much as she may appreciate
them, does not stipulate for. Some
lady cooks, for instance, object to mix
on terms of equality with domestics
who are possibly grades beneath them
educationally and by birth; hence, as a
rule, lady cooks accept situations only
in houses where there are lady parlor
maids and housemuids. There are,
however, few cases in very large es-
Establishments where the cook Is lady
and the rest Of the servants are of the
usual domestic class.
A very desirable situation was re-
fused by one lady cook recently be-
cause her employer stipulated that she
should take the head of the table in
the servants hall.

Professor A. J.. Pieters recently ar
rived at the University of California

the earth to collect seeds and plants
and data for this purpose. They keep
in touch with him, send their collec-
tons to him. and he does the rest.
Now, Professor Peters went to Cali
fornia especially to look into the pro-
posed culture Of the date palm in the
southern California deserts For long
time the agriculturists have had their
eyes on those great wastes, thinking of
the great natural possibilities for date
culture. The land is boundlessly
wealthy, having stored up in it all the
properties Of virgin soil. 1t is almost
illimitable in extent and Is heated by
the fierce rays of tropical sun. All II
needs to make it grow date palms is
water, and all it needs to get water is
irrigation
Three years ago the department Of
agriculture planted number of trees
in the deserts for experimentation pur.
poses, and they have thrived. 1t takes
five years for them to mature and bear
fruit. Professor Peters is going to ex-
anime to see how they are getting on.
He recently left with Professor Stu.

this trip will be the planting of more
date palm trees.
