Cat Adopted Orphan coona.

Colonel l.. l.. Hawkins recently Sc
cured a new prize for his collection
of weird and wonderful exhibits at the
city museum, in Portland, Ore The
doughty Colonel has excelled himself
in his latest acquisition, and If one
desires to see such a bizarre thing as
a pussy cat mothering litter Of
young raccoons he may be gratified at
the city hall All previous happy fam
lily records have been broken by an
old mother cat rejoicing in family
of two baby coons and her own proper
kitten, which Colonel Hawkins Sc
cured at Beaverton and haS now COM
fortably installed at the museum.
A few days ago some boys killed
a female raccoon near Beaverton, and
upon beating the bush discovered her
nest with four little ones in it clamor-
ing for their mother. The baby coons
were taken to the home OF Mrs. b. l..
Griffitts, near by, where a cat was
rearing a family of four kittens. The
kittens were given to another feline
in which the maternal instinct was
strong and the little coons substitu-
ted without protest from the mother.
In a short time two Of the little wild
kittens died, but the other pair thrived
in their new environment, and the
story Of the cat with the coon family
became something of a sensation in
the neighborhood.
Colonel Hawkins heard of it and
made the twenty mile drive out and
back for the purpose of bringing the
wonder to Portland. Mrs Griff1tts
finally consented to lend the family
to the museum, and as an evidence of
good faith one of the kittens was
brought along with the little coons
to complete the picture of mixed do
esticity.-Portland Oregonian.

MAY BE BICYCLING Revival.
Many Former Riders Would Like to
Take I'D Exercise AGAIN,

Many Former Riders Would Like TO
Take up Exercise Again.
Among many former riders of the
bicycle who were amateurs in all
senses of the word and had nothing
to do with the racing or century-run
features of the craze there is an idea
lin which, indeed, the wish is father
to the thought-that the pastlme may
become popular again. They contend
that bicycle riding is just as delight
full as It ever was and just as worthy
OF permanent survival as tennis, and
to put their wheels in commission
again If others would do likewise.
That's the whole trouble" said
former large dealer to whom the
question was referred. / know by
the inquiries receive that many peo-
pie who used to ride are anxious for a
chance to ride again, but those who
have tried 1t tell discouraging stories.
Once you could go anywhere, sure Of
finding a pump at the first place you
stopped In case your tire had lost it's
| air, or tape to mend a puncture, or oil
to I'LL your lamp.
Every stopping place had all sorts
Of accommodations for the bcyclisL
and he was everywhere taken care
of. Now he isn't catered to at all.
Even the racks have been taken away
and a few of the roads are kept as
smooth as they used to be. If one
ventures far from his own tools he
finds himself in fix should anything
happen. Others who want to ride
again and have tried it tell me they
have given up after one or two trials
from sheer loneliness and the feeling
that they were conspicuous. I feel
sure that If all who wanted to ride
could start in at once, at the same
time, 1t would be go again; but, as
much. as would like it to happen,
hardly expect to see it. You may be
sure If there be any way of starting
the pastime again the makers and
dealers will be about it."
1t is worth noting in this connec-
ton that in England cycling is nearly,
if not quite as popular as ever, and
the English papers continue to pub
lish wheeling routes and a column of
gossip for amateur riders.-Philadel-
phia Record.

Queer Old Time Railroad Pass.

Col. William Doris of Huntingdon
enjoys the rare distinction of travel
issued in 1850, which is without limit.
This pass is a curiosity, having on it,
in addition to the necessary wording,
the picture OF an engine and two
cars, which are unique, as might be
imagined. The engine is anything
but modern, and the coaches have the
old time "possum belly" in which bag
gage was carried. The Colonel re-
tains this pass because he was one
of the original stockholders of the
company.-Tyrone (Pa.) Herald.

Told by General Gordon.

The late General John B. Gordon
was a brilliant raconteur. He had a
fund of anecdota and stories, not only
of his war experiences, but dealing
with the most prominent men and
women of today with whom he was
thrown in personal contact. Among
his warmest friends were eX-President
sion visited Georgia as his guests.
The General, who was at that time
Governor, was very fond Of telling
how Aunt Sue" his family washer
woman, snubbed the Clevelanus.
Wishing to show the President some
thing genuine and entirely from the
old South, he sent his carriage out
to his country home for old Aunt
Sue" an ex-slave and a lifelong ser
want of the family.
When the coachman reached her
cabin he found the old woman hang
ing out her weeks wash. He told
her that the General has sent for her
to come in to see the President of the
United States.
who's he?" asked the old woman.
who's he?" replied the coachman.
"Why, Mister Grober Cl9belan'-who
you 'spec?"
Aunt Sue looked at him moment.
Then, in a mingled tone of dignity
and scorn, she said: "Clebelan'?
Clebelan'? | ain never hurn tell err
no Clebelap's. You go long home en-
tell Mars John he ca fool dis ole
oman. Dem Clebelan's mus be some
er his lection friends-dey ain no
quality, enI ain gwine fool wild um."
And the old woman turned back to
her tub and would not be persuaded.
The conversation, much to the
amusement of Mr.. Cleveland, was re-
peated in his hearing, the General
happening to question the coachman
while the President was near.-Harp-

SECOND HONEY MOON
Good Joke on an Old Married
Couple.

Thursday morning Mr. and Mrs.
W. T. Porter left for Kansas City,
and some of their friends gave them
a surprising godspeed. During theiT
ten months residence in Greeley Mr..
aud Mrs. Porter made the Oasis their
home and bv their genia. natures
and hospitality they made friends on
all sides. But MI, Porter is a Joker
and possessing fund OF rich, dry
humoI, he was ever ready TO jolly
ard have bit Of innocent pleasure
at the expense of his fellow guests:
and when the day came for the de-
parture of himself and wife the
young people Of the Oasis married
and single-put their heads together
and determined to get even" with
the incorrigible humorist. though
Mrs Porter had to stand her share
Of the brunt.
AS the southbound train rolled
into the Greeley station Thursday
morning and the last goodbyes had
been said and Mr.. and Mrs. Porter
mounted the car platform to take
their seats, they were showered with
rice while the air resounded with
cries OF pleasant honeymoon"
May your trip be joyous one ~
etc, etc. MI. Porter was dumb
founded and for the nonce was a t
loss to respond, but he took it good
naturedly, while Mrs. Porter blushed
like new-made bride, though the
jolly little lady accepted the joke in
tile best possible spirit and laughed
as heartily as any Of the perpetrators
Then to insure a continuance of
like favors for the we'll liked couple,
notices Of the event were forwarded
ahead and it is fair to presume that
all along the line to the city on the
Kaw, Mr.. and Mrs. Porter will re-
ceive special attention from their
Amour Packing company friends.
