present in recognition of the courtesies
extended to President Loubet by the

Porter was not present owing to his
late bereavement. His majesty found
time to discuss the purchase of a new
automobile before attending a gala din

President Loubet. The king is greatly
pleased with the cordiality Of his re-

PASSING OF osAGE HEDGE.
Miles of Fences Have Disappeared
Since the Invention of
Barbed Wire.

The Usage hedges which border thou
sands of Illinois farms are gradually
disappearing. This hedge, introduced
half century ago by Prof. J. B, Turner,
of Jacksonville, became very popular,
and for many years was favorite
fence, not only with farmers, but with
lot owners in the smaller towns, and
with the railroad companies, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
The high price of fence posts and
lumber made the Usage an economical
fence, also,g and in spite of it's faults
it gradually became extensively used.
1t held its own until wire fencing ap-
peared. Then 1t became evident that
the Usage was doomed. Wire fencing
was more effective, was cheaper, took
up less room and required less care.
The railroads began grubbing up their
hedges and substituting wire. The
farmers followed their lead, and where
there used to be miles of hedge there
are only rods of it now.
The Usage is still used for wind
breaks, but owing to the fact 1t is in

ing fixed idea it will probably soonb

Two little girls We're standing in the

as the president saw them he drew
them into his pew, and during the sing

the president shook hands with large
number of people. In the afternoon he
went for long horseback ride, accom-
panied by Senators Burton and Long

lege.
Senator Warren of Wyoming and
Civil Service Commissioner Foulk
joined the president here.
The town was full of strangers who
came to see the president, some of them
riding fifty miles for that purpose. A
Sharon Springs admirer of the presi-
dent presented to him a two-week-old
badger. The little animal is as friend
ly as can be and will be taken home to
Washington to join the growing menag-

At Chapman, Kan, a band and 200
people greeted the president as he ap-

Some admirer in the crowd presented
him with football which from its ap-

MEN INFERIOR TO CATS.
Several Points in Which the Feline
Has the Advantage over the
Human Species.

There are several points in which
man is inferior to the cat. The cat,
for one thing, has no vermiform ap-
pendix, and consequently never suf-
fers from appendicitis. furthermore,
while man has chosen to be noe
turnal as well as a diurnal creature
he has only the diurnal vision;
whereas the cat, devoting sits days to
civilization and its nights to barbar-
ism," can see in the dark as well as
in the light, having patent adjusta-
BILE eye, says the New York Mail and
Express.
She possesses nine lives and all OF
them have to be taken in order TO
get rid of the cat. If the red slayer
thinks he Stays he knows not well
the subtle ways in which this admir-
able certure passes, turns and brings
forward her successive entities for
obliteration. Drowned in the pond
she returns to the woodshed or the
kitchen door, requiring to be shot.
Shot, she comes back to be asphyx-
lated. Smothered by the fumes OF
chloroform, she revives and calls for
prussic acid. She is walking, hv-
ing, breathing, vociferating exempll-
fication of the principle of metemp-
sychosis. Her reincarnations in one
brief period outrival those to which
man is condemned by the Hindoo
theology in hundreds of years and
her avatars outnumber Buddha's.
It is no wonder that the Egyptians
worshiped the, cat. She has been able
to get hold of some principle which
man, the boaster, who vaunteth him
self almost a god, is denied.
