Mumoling, grumbling on his way
Walked a citizen one day,
Quite Of late.
Angry as he seemed to be.
When questioned he told me
Of his fate:
People moving from this town
Left their cats,
pillaging among the neighbors,
Thick as rats.
And the cats increased; confound 'eml
There was no small boy around EN-
Who would take en- out and drown EN-.
Drat their hides!
Now lie awake at night,
For my wife is in a fright
And my children all are nearly scared
to death,
At the yawling
And the bawling,
And the gosh darned caterwauIinq
OF the cats that never seem to stop
for breath;
On the fence,
In the trees,
On the walk,
Thick as bees.
All the boot-jacks in this town
Flung judiciously around,
Wouldn't silence 'em minute;
Brick-bats simply are not in it.

To the coming legislature.
OF the beastly. nuisance nature
OF these pests,
And hope there will, in time,
BE bounty OF a dime
On their hides, and then, perhaps.
Well get rest.

Then will kill the cat fer cat fur,
And the residents will rise to call
him blessed.

The Origin Of Hoodlum

"Hoodlum," which has found place
in the vernacular, is well understood
to apply to a class of young toughs
who has no respect for sex, age or the
sense of what is becoming. Few
know the derivation of the word.
It was in 1872, when the Odd Eel
lows held a picnic at Redwood City.
A gang of toughs attended.
Among the gang from San Francis
co, was one whose name was Hood
Lummix, who was a peculiarly form
ed creature. Clumsy, big-footed, with
q large mouth and protruding teeth.
thick lips, big, bushy head of hair of
a dirty brick color, standing out like
quilts on a porcupine, this almost NAL
formed specimen attracted the atten-
ton of young rowdies who picked
upon him for days sport.

things unpleasant for him during the

prevailed, and now and then the old
gayety of mood took possession of
him with its irresistible charm No
ordering of life could have been more
happy for him. He was the object of
the most loving and watchfuI sym
pathy and care. His cousin, Mrs.
Severn, was at the head of his house

been more dear and devoted to him.
Her children kept the atmosphere OF
the home fresh and bright; the home
itself was delightful, beautiful within
with innumerable treasures OF art.

Employment That Fitted In With
Automobile Costume.
Harlan ". Whipple, president of the
American Automobile association, tells
this story at the expense OF an en-
thusiastic "autoist" who last fall made
a tour of the White mountains:
The tourist, who was accompanied
by his wife and two other women"
says President Whipple, was clad in
a long brown buster considerably the
worse for being spotted with axle
grease and having been torn in several
places. He wore the regulation Cog
giles and a visored cap. One day he
met typical New England farmer
driving to the village behind a slow
moving steed. Thinking he would
have some fun with the rustic. he
pulled up alongside OF his wagon and
said:
Say, friend, do you suppose l
could get work anywhere in these
parts to tide me over the winter?'
Looking sharply at him and his out
fit for moment, the native replied:
There amt much dewin round

Test for Cigar Smokers

Colorado Madura was selected for the
test and the smoker took a seat and
began.
HE pulled like an engine for about
two minutes and accumulated some
thing under half an inch of ash. and
then he began to wabble. He shifted
the cigar from side to side, pulled
slow and fast and seemed to have
difficulty getting his breath between
the draws. At any rate he kept turn
ing his head TO avoid the smoke, and
finally got to laughing. I could see he
was in torture. but he stuck to it until
he got within half an inch of the
mark. Then he jumped up suddenly,
threw the cigar away and walked out
of the shop.
Il paid the bet and charged it to his
account, and he told me last evening
that the very idea of tobacco made
him sick. l doubt whether it would
be possible for anybody to smoke
even moderately strong cigar

scribed. New York Press.

Godfrey had lain awake all night,
he was tired and unfit for work. SO
he accepted his friends invitation be-
cause he felt disinclined for anything

arm a gentle squeeze. "Ellice. I am

She still hung back-he looked up
as they were passing down a small

his eye. Displayed in the windows
were plants and plants of crimson

same phleglnatic way he lived his life.
There came day when he had TO
go into his wife's room for some
thing. at least twelve months after
her disappearance. He had not enter
ed it from that day when he had come
home to find her gone till row, and
to-day as he stood on the threshold
the daintiness and emptiness Of it
struck home. Where was she, the
dainty owner of this pretty home?
On the dressing table a withered
blossom lay, quite dry and shriveied
up, but bearing very faint semblance
to that he had flung away the last
time he saw her-a bachelors button!
He picked it up and it cracked in
two Wondering at himself he laid
his lips on the dead thing. then put
