COLLECTION OF CATS
INTERESTS BIG CROWD
Restaurant Keeper Forgets to Take
His Scayengers When He
Gives I'm BuSineSS

When a policeman eIbowed his way
through a crowd in front of 1907
Market street yesterday afternoon, he
beheld a remarkable collection of cats
in the premises formerly occupied by
the San Francisco restaurant. The
spectators were wondering what sort
of an advertisement it was, as there
was nothing on exhibition but speei-
mems of the feline tribe. There were
cats of every color and hue, cats for
whom the sun of life was just rising
and cats around whose hoary whisk-
ers the cobwebs of many years were
hanging. Each cat had a different
note in the graduated feline vocal
scale and the composite melody af-
forded entertainment for the immense
audience.
The Humane Society was notified
and two officers were dispatched to the
scene. After two hours work they
had garnered four kittens and innu-
merabIe scratches. The older cats re-
fused to be caught or scared away.
The restaurant keeper had kept the
animals in the basement to dispose of
such pieces of food as could not be
made into hash, sausage or tamales.
1t saved scavenger bills.

Josh Billings on Marriage.

By all means, Joe, get married if you
hev 8, fair show. Dvn't stand shivering on
the bank, but pitch rite in and stick your
head under and shiver it out. There amt
any more trick in getting married than
thar is in eating peanuts. Many man
has stood shivering on the shore until the
river has run clean out. Don't expect to
marry an angel-they have been picked
up long ago. Remember, Joe, you hain't a
saint yourself. Do not marry for beauty
exclusively; beauty is like ice, awfully
slippery and thaws dreadfully easy. Don't
marry for luv, neither luv is like cook
ing stove, good for nothing when the fuel
is out. But let the mixture be some beau
ty, becomingly dressed, with about $3.50
in her pocket, good speller, handy and
neat in her house, plenty of good sense,
tough constitution and bylaws, small
feet, high step; add to this sound teeth
and g warm heart. The mixture will not
evaporate. Don't marry for pedigree un-
less it's backed with bank-notes. A fami-
ly with nothing but pedigree generally
lacks sense.

The DelineatOr for July.

The July Delineator is magazine of
beauty, interest and utility. The display
of Summer fashions is exquisite and COM
plete, the fiction ight and entertaining,
the special articles clever andinformative,
and the number is rounded out by series
of practical papers on domestic topics.
In fiction, interest centres in Mrs. Hugh
Frazer's quaint love story of Japan, The
Giver of Honour, although The Re-
bellion of William Henry, by Herlninie
Templeton, is thoroughly enjoyable, for
both its keen humor and its genuine SYM
pathy with boy nature. The story of
Charlotte Robinson, as told by Landon
knight in the pioneer Women" series,
is recital of the greatest interest, and
presents vivid picture of the hardships
and difficulties that beset the couquerors
of the West. Egypt, Arabia and the
Holy Land are seen through the camera
in the course of the unique trip around
the World in Eighty Pictures, "and in
"The Fountain of Youth" DR.. Grace
Peckham Murray supplies instructions
for the treatment of the hair that will be
appreciated by any one who cares for
beauty. A sympathetic paper on Gener-
osity, by Lille Hamilton French, and one
on Childhood by Mrs. Theodore W.
Birney contain food for thought, and
there are invaluable suggestions to home
builders in Modern Southern home, il
lustrated and described. For young peo-
pie, there are entertaining stories and
pastimes and for needleworkers and
householders many, pages Of useful in

The Level and the Square.

We meet upon the Level and we part
upon the Square;
What words of precious meaning those
words Masonic are!
They fall like strains of melody upon our
listening ears,
And the've sounded hallelujahs to the
world three thousand years.
We meet upon the Level, though from
every station brought
The monarch from his palace and the
the peasant from his cot;
For the king must drop his dignity when
knocking at our door;
And the peasant is his equal as he treads
the Checkered floor.
We act upon the Plumb-'tis the order
of our guide,
Upright We walk in virtues way and
lean to neither side,
To The All-Seeing Eye above this truth
s is clearly shown,
That we still try to honor God and give
each man his own.
We part upon the Square for the world
must have its due.
We mingle with the multitude, faithful
band and true,
But the influence of our gatherings in
memory is green,
And we long upon the Level to renew
the happy scene.
There's World where all are equal-we
are hurrying toward it fast,
We shall meet upon the Level there, when
the gates of death are past
We shall stand before the Orient, and
our Master will be there,
Our works to try, our lives to prove, by
His own unerring Square.
When we meet upon the Level there We
never shall depart;
There's mansion--'tis all ready for each
trusting, faithful heart,
And an everlasting welcome from the
host rejoicing there,
Who have met upon the Level and been
tried upon the Square.
Let us meet upon the Level, then while
laboring patient here;
Let US meet and let US labor, though the
labor is severe;
Look, in the west the evening shadows
bid US quick prepare
To gather up our working tools and part
upon the Square.
Hands round, then, faithful brotherhood,
join in the golden chain
We part upon the Square below to meet
in heaven again;
Each link that has been broken here
shall be united there,
And none be lost around the throne
who've acted on the square.
