of X......, where I made my homo with
some very worthy, but also very tresome
people Many Il time have vainly en-
treated him to keep me near him in Paris,
but he was infiexiblc, evidently fearing
that a girl like me would be too great a
care upon him hero.
Therefore. as besides being full or

pitalty | could claim, was obliged to
submit to his ruling until the longed for
day of my majority should come.

me by the notary. So I now have liberty
and wealth. What shall I do with them

HEALTH or ARMY BETTER.
Annual Report of Surgeon General
o'Reilly-Latter Thinks Lep-
rosy Can Be Cured.

In his annual report Surgeon Gen.
eral X. NJ O'ReilIy shows that the gen.
eral health of the army has improved
during the past year. From an average
strength OF 1923 American troops in
the Philippines 1914 we're inyalided
home, a rate Of 56.44 per thousand.
There were 27l deaths among the
troops in the Philippines, so that the
losses by death and invading amount.
ed to 1857 per thousand.
The Filipino soldiers were s~ingularly
fortunate in the matter of injuries
having a rate of only 1929 per thous,
and, but their mortality rate of 1884
Is almost as large as the combined
death rates Of white and coIored troops
for external causes.
The surgeon general believes 1t is
possible TO cure leprosy. At any rate
decidedly favorable results have fol-
lowed the treatment of a leper soldier
now held at isolation at one of the
southern army posts, The man is now
permitted to wander about the island
at his Will, provided he does not enter
any building save his own or approach
anyone nearer than eight feet.

STRANGE FOSTER MOTHER.
Big Maltese Cat Raising Litter Of
Bull Pups in Kansas City with
Her Own Offspring.

Out In a most fashionable part OF
Kansas City, a big maltese cat mother
Is giving her entire attention and care
10 a litter of five bull puppies, while
she nourishes a kitten of her own and
strives p~ainstakingly to encourage the
six TO dwell in peace and unity. Re-
Gently the mother of the puppies. a
blue ribbon English bull that was
registered and had been exhibited at
many dog shows, died, leaving to
mourn her loss the five puppies, then
but a few days old.
Capt. Kennedy, the official dog emu
merator. was surprised in no small
measure when a young woman cal ed
at his office and asked for a mother for
the puppies,
u haven't a dog of that description
now explained the %impounder, after
he had regained his equilibrium, but
have "A bag maltese cat which. 4 think,
will prove to be the best kind of a
mother to your puppies"
So the cat and one of her kittens
were removed to the young woman's
home. Then the five hungry puppies
were turned over to their strange
mother. The cat purred gloriouSly,
and by other manifestations expressed
her delight, For several weeks she
has nursed the five puppies and her
one offspring, All day long the puppies
around with the mother cat and
her kitten, and when night comes the
whole bloomin' menagerie climb into a
box together and roll up In a solid bali
Of cat fur and dog hair.

The chief losers have been camera

The police Of nearly all Of the large
cities in the east have repeatedly been
Informed OF tkefls of lenses and have
been puzzled TO discover the thief or the
place Of disposal.
The best are always taken. COmbina-

have been stolen from projecting Ian
terms. together with the expensive con-
densinR lenses and the big lenses in po:-

and cheap tubes have been ignored and
the thief has seldom bothered with
bulky cameras or Photographic ma

Usually the thefts occur In the early
hour Of the day, While the scrubwoman

things he wants to remove and packs

goes away with the package of lenses.
