Too Late to Sort Cats.

Jim Croker lived In an old tum-
ble-down house in little town in
Massachusetts,. The cellar windows
being broken out. an opportunity was
afford to stray cats to run in and
out, and sometimes there would be
quite "a congregation.
We lost our pet cat one evening. and
thinking she might have joined the
happy thrOng. we sent our man over
to ask Uncle Jim" If he would take a
look and see If she was among the
number. He was generally pretty
good-natured, but this time he was out
of sorts. for he said:
Your cat may be there. or she may
not be-, but I amt a-going to light up

CHINESE FRUIT FOR AMERICA.
Consul Thinks the PomeIo Would Do
We'll in This Country.

Consul Anderson OF Hangchow
thinks the pomelo, or Chinese bread
fruit, would do well in this country.
The fruit is grown in the United
States by few persons. but not com
mercially. Foreigners agree that the
pomelo is the finest fruit in the far
east. 1t combines the good points OF
the orange with the good points OF
the grape fruit.
The Chinese say that good-sized
tree will ordinarily produce from 600
to 700 pomeloes. When 1t Is consiG-
cred that many pomeloes will run as
large as seven or eight inches in
diameter and even larger, 1t will be
appreciated that such tree is bear
ing a load. The fruit Is more oval
than round. Its color and appearance
are those OF the grape fruit.

gineer, and forced the manager to
open the warehouses and let her make
an inspection of the machinery. The
manager had met her with his law
yers, and the hour for argument be-
fore she gained her point had been
something of a strain. During the
whole process Peruvian on the Hag-
gin side had been standing close to
Mrs. Reader, his little, narrowed eyes
staring with that deliberate insolence
