Claim the Council Fire In New Jersey
Burned the Brightest.

Atlantic City, Sept. 19:-The Great
Council of the United States, Improved
Order of Red Men, closed last night.
All the delegates admitted that the
meeting here has been the most inter
esting one they ever attended, the
storm having not a little to do with
= this opinion.
At the session held yesterday $40, ECO
was appropriated for mileage and per
deim of the present annual session.
A resolution was adopted that the
laws passed at this meeting go into
effect at nee The meeting of tribes
on Sunday was left to State great
councils to regulate.
The law passed yesterday making

great councils may fix the minimum

vania orphans fund was transferred

granted, the original having been

At yesterdays session ten amend
ments to the constitution and general
laws were adopted, practically S pre-
/sented, with the exception of that
relating to qualification and the basis
! of representation in the State great
n councils. and the great council of the
United States. In this respect, the

but the amendments were defeated.
The committee also recommended

mission to the State Great Councils

proposed by the committee. This is

WICKED BY NATURE.
CatnmOunt, Although Beautiful and
Interesting, Is q Failure a.
House Pet.

The wild nature of Cherry, the pet
catamount owned by Miss Jessie Van
Nest, in Titfin, O., has at last mani
tested itself. Strangers arc no long
er allowed in it's presence, unless one
of the family is near by, and, much
as the owner prizes her pet, she has
decided to dispose of it. Many peo-
pie in different cities will remember
this catamount as one of the main at
fractions at the cat shows, where its
frequent growl made it's attendants
stand in awe. 1t is seldom one of
these animals is tanned, even when
taken as young as was Cherry. When
wild they are very savage, attacking
their victims with both teeth and
claws.
Cherry has grown larger, stronger,
and handsomer than even he APP
peared at the cat shows. The only
way Miss Van Nest can handle him
lately is to punish him if he displays
his claws and thus keep him in fear
of her. Although he is so strong that
she can scarcely manage him, she
daily puts him through course OF
training which is calculated to sub
due him. AS yet it has not been
necessary to cage Cherry, though it
no doubt would be if strangers had
charge of him.
Although usually referred to as a
catamount, to be more accurate,
Cherry is a spotted lynx'-a species
which has often been hunted by
President Roosevelt. Miss Van Nests
father, while engaged as land ap-
praiser in Indian territory, found
Cherry on Bushy mountain nearly
two years ago. The nest of the
mother was located by an Indian,
and while the mother was away,
Cherry at the age of about four days
was captured. After being kept in
the camp of the United States land

TRAINING WILD ANIMALS.
Those Born In Captivity Are Harden
to Handle Than Those Born
in the Forest. !

One might think that lions, tigers
and leopards which have been born
in captivity and have never hunted
or killed prey would be less danger
Gus. On the bill-boards of shows the
big cats are advertised as forest
bred African, Kaffrian, Nubian and
Barbary lions," because it is more
impressive to the public; but in reali-
ty the trainers are much more wary
of those born in captivity.
The reasons are two: The lion has
lost his awe of man, and the men
have lost their awe of him. A forest
bred lion never faces man in captiV-
ity. He always retreats before him.
and he will not allow man to touch
him, unless he is trained to it. But

men from his birth. He has been

CHARACTER IN THROAT.
Interesting De du ctions Made Recent
IL By 4 student of WOmanl<ind
. 1T Its Best.

Some one has lately been making a
study of various Threats, and has de-
duced some rather interesting, if some
what obvious results bearing upon the
character of women. The woman with
the swan-ike neck is said to be crea-
ture whose mentality, to use a rather
modern invention in words, dominates
her existence. Physically delicate, the
]ong-necked woman is mentally very
much alert, but sensitive to an ex-
traordinary degree. She is timid and
suspicious, yet when her trust is be-
trayed bears her woe in silence with
out sign.
1t is no news to learn that the throat
that denotes obstinacy is short and
thick, and usually belongs to the girl
with athletic shoulders and not very
many inches in stature. Girls with
anatomical traits of this sort are ex-
tremely good natured, though they OBJ
tain their own way by persistence.
This is the type Of woman whose
health is excellent, and whose outlook
upon life is eminently sensible. In 90
cases out of 100 she is the ruling spirit
of the home in which she abides, and is
never a lacking quantity when sound
advice and ready help are needed. She
is also noted for her executive ability,
and on this account does not mind
mounting platforms or organizing So
cieties that will help her sex a step
forward on the road to complete eman-
cipation.
All curves and white, satin-like soft
ness is the throat of the born enchan-
tress, upon which the head is set as ex-
quisitely as was that of Helen of Troy.
Consciously or unconsciously the CO.
quette invariably makes good use of
her beautiful and supple neck. Some
times she will hold it on one side, at
other times her head will droop like a
flower. Poets and artists speak not
without reason of the perfect neck of
such a woman with enthusiasm; they
say it resembles round, white column,
and no other words describe it's beauty
more correctly.
The neck of the conversationalist,
the woman of wit and also of amiabil-
ity, may be short or rather long, but is
almost always in harmony with the
shoulders and head.--Brooklyn Eagle.

NEW CABINET WOMAN.

Mrs. George B. Cortelyou, wife OF
the latest addition to the cabinet, the
secretary of commerce, is no stranger
to Washington society, having resided
here since her husba nd's first employ
ment in the public service. During
the past five years she has come in con-
tact with the rest of the nota bles maxi
ing up official society. In manner
quiet and reserved, she is also good
talker on subjects that appeal to her
and has all the domestic traits in her
love of home and family that the Amer
Jean people most admire and foster.

PROPER storage OF Silver.

To prevent silver from furnishing,
place few Jumps of camphor in the
box or drawer containing the silver
articles; this will neutralize to some
extent the gases which turn silver
dark. If silver is to be stored for some
length of time, it should be cleaned
thoroughly and placed in cotton fan
mel bags that can be closed tightly at
the top. Then these bags should be
wrapped in paraftine paper, or, still
better, in beeswax paper. To make the
latter lit cannot be bought: take ordi.

appraisers for ten weeks Cherry was
taken by v: w. Van Nest to Tiftin and
was presented by him to his daughter.
The animal grew rapidly and in less
than a year weighed thirty pounds.
The weight of full-grown spotted
lynx is about forty pounds.
Cherry, when he came to his new
home, was given the freedom of the
house. He provoked much interest
by his entertaining movements, jump
ing every now and then from the floor
to the top of fve-foot bookcase, and
from there, perhaps, to the top of the
piano. In expressing his attention to
small children he would often jump
high over their heads. Like a cat, he
enjoyed being stroked. His wild in
clinations are evidenced in his choice
of a sleeping place.
This. if out of doors, is always on the
limb of tree; if indoors, on top Of a
high piece of furniture. All the cats
in the neighborhood run when they
see Cherry, and now even the dogs
with which he has often held boxing
matches, seem suspicious of impending
danger.
In the autumn, when the leaves are
raked in piles, and before he became at
all dangerous, Cherry would bury him
self in a pile of leaves and watch for
a. sparrow which subsequently would
always fall prey to him. Cherry lives
on cooked beef, chickens and birds. He
prefers water rather than milk.
This animal, which. on account of the
nature it inherited, is soon likely to
leave a beautiful home, possibly for
geological quarters, has a beautiful
coat Of silky gray fur handsomely
marked in spots and stripes. His hind
legs are larger and much better de-
veloped than his fore legs, forit is with
these that he makes his many springs
or leaps. 1t has long been found nee
essary to clip Cherry's claws often.
They grow rapidly, and, like his teeth,
are extremely sharp. Like all animals
of the cat species, Cherry has excellent
hearing and sight, but has been tested
In many ways, and is not believed to
possess the sense of smell. He has dis
played considerable intelligence from
time to time.-Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune.
