Something came through between the
pickets of the front fence. The win
dow was up. and Mr.. Bowser had the
tangle of lines on his lap and his spec
tacleS on his nose. and he was fianked
on each side by two ~f1Owerpots. OF Il
sudden something struck him full in
the breast, N h force Of the blow
and the fright sent him off his chair.
At the same instant three of the pots
struck the floor with a crash, to scat
ter dirt to the far end of the room,
and three of the fishhooks sought u
tender and juicy spots in Mr.. Bowser's
anatomy.
For heavens sake. but what was

She went upstairs. and Mr.. Bowser
sauntered out into the back yard. Seat

cat.
"Durn your hide" whispered Mr..
Bowser as he shook his fist in a vigor-
way.
But the cat slowly winked his Y

but had his revenge two evenings later
when Mr.. Bowser declared that Jonah
instead of Daniel was cast into the
the family Bible. There was a sus-
picion in the mind of the cat that some
thing would be doing, and he kept his
eye out for squalls, and until the other
evening he lodged all dangers. Then
hr Bowser came home to announce
that he was going a-fshing next day,
and after dinner he got out a tangle
of hooks and lines and sat down at the
dining room window to %straighten
them out. While he was at work Mrs.
Bowser ran into the home of a neigh
Dor and the cat stretched out under
the table to dream of mice on toast
and cream fresh from the country. He
was realizing that life was worth the
living when be heard Mr.. Bowser say
ing to himself:
Eyes, sir, I'll get square with that
old cat If it takes q leg"
The cat sat up and saw that the
way through the kitchen to the back
door was clear, but as Mr.. Bowser be-
gan to swear at the fish lines he pres
emily concluded that it was a false
alarm and lay down again. Five min
utes later the grocer's wagon drove up
with a late order, and as the cook had
gone upstairs MI. Bowser met the boy
and said:
"A1l right about the things, sonny,
but don't you want to earn a diner

Against Him.

Chicago, Ills, Aug. 25.-J. Ogden
Armour re-appeared at the stock yards

another effort to bring about peace
negotiations have been circulated. The

BAD WASH0UT
ON SANTA FE
Greatest Damage Ever Experience
ed Took Place at Bagdad,
California.
TRAFFIC is DELAYED
Trains are Now Being Sent Over the
Southern Pacific Via
Albuquerque.

San Bernardino, Calf, Aug. 25.-The
worst washout ever experienced by the
Santa Fe Railway has occurred on the
desert east of Bagdad. The extent OF
the damage is not known, but 1t is so
serious that several eastbOund trains,
which have reached Barstow and other
desert places, were brought back and
sent over the Southern Pacific via
Deming and Albuquerque. A large
force of men have left here on spe-
cial train to repair the road ais soon
as the flood abates.
Trains Now Moving.

1t is reported on good authority that
Rev. w. A. Cooper, pastor OF St. johns

the first week in September for LeDa-
non Ohio, where he goes to take the
pastorate OF the Methodist church in
that city. The present pastor OF the
church at Lebanon has been in Las
Vegas all summer, for the benefit OF
his daughters health, and the climate
of this country has proven OF so much
benefit that he began arrangements to
get a pastorate in the territory.
It seems that he and Rev. Cooper
have made arrangements whereby they
are to change places, the new minis

FILL TER)Q BEGINS
September Sixth
The Academy of Our Lady of Light
Has Good Prospects for the Com.
ing School Year.

Tuesday, September sixth, will wit
ness the opening of the fall and winter
semester of the Convent and Acade.
my of Our Lady of Light in Santa Fe.
The formation of classes will take
place during the first week. Every
thing is now being placed in readiness
for the beginning of the school year,
which promises to be the most well at
tended in the history of the institution.
The present beautiful and prosper
GUS school of learning was established
in 1852. Mother Magdalene Hayden,
with three companions, were the first
to take up the work, under the guild
ance of the Archbishop. The plan for
a school in Santa Fe, however, was
brought about through the efforts of
Most Rev. J. B. Lamy, now deceased.
The many pupils educated in the con-
vent may now be counted by the thou
sands.
The buildings in use are commodious
and equipped with modern improve
ments, steam heat, electric lights, hot
and cold water, laboratory, library, etc.
A splendid auditorium and assembly
hall was recently completed.
The Academy enjoys the distinction
of comforting degrees upon the young
women graduates. This highly priced
privilege was granted by the Legisla-
tive Assembly Of the Territory in 1874.
The academic year Is divided into
two sessions of twenty weeks each,
the second beginning about the middle
of January.
A very artistic prospectus, which
covers every department of the school,
has just come from the press of the
New Mexican.
