and squandered dime. But, nerved by
sense of pain and loss, he got little
sack and hunted for that brindle cat
through every nook and crack And
ere the day had passed away and his
mother called her boy, young Morris
Olcovich ran home in fit of perfect
joy For from his left meat sack
hung and from inside Of that came
frantic demonstrations by mighty
angry cat He hastes to Jakey Scho-
enberg and the tenants in accord say
that Morris is entitled to the so cents
reward.
But Schoenberg is skeptic and his
proposition fat is that first he have
evidence that this is Ichberg's cat.
Yet, if they loose the pudding string
and give the beast some room, Ike
Ichberg's frantic terror may be out
again on Broome. The tenants say
that Morris is an honest boy for sure
and Morris stands there smiling with
smile serene and pure. Jake Scho-
enberg is plunger and he risks his
so cents, and so with satisfaction and
with angry violence, he bears the
squalling sackful to North rivers muir
ky side and hurls it far and sinks it in
the dark and rolling tide. So happy
now has Schoenberg grown, he even
pays the telephone.
Twas Saturday at midnight and at
Al Broome; the lights were out and
silence reigned and slumber sweet
and gloom. Twas then a vivid vision
passed through Jakey SchOenberg'S
brain. He dreamed that he had fallen
from an elevated train, and when he
struck Third avenue a heavy brewery
truck rolled lightsomely upon his chest
and settled there and stuck. And as
Jake Schoenberg woke and waved his
arms and yelled amain he saw two
cleaning balls of fire that burned into
his brain. "Quick. Rosie, Rosie! light
der gas!" cried Schoenberg in af-
fright. The faithful Mrs. Schoenberg
struck a match and got a light. And
there upon the bureau sat the hated
form of Ichberg's cat.-New York Sun.

backyard rubbish heap. And mindful
OF the rich reward and needing money
too she poised the tub above his form
and down the torrent flew. There
came squall and caterwau1 that tore
the morning air, yet when the steam
had cleared away the cat he wasn't
there; for on a first floor fire escape
he crouched with flashing eye, his
paws unseared, his tail unskinned, his
fur all fair and dry. But Goldbaum's
5-year-old daughter Rose was weeping
with a scalded nose.

Didn't Miss the Train.

Some time since two merry sons
from the land of the shamrock were
walking down a railroad track of one
of the suburban lines, and so interest
ed were they in an animated conversa-
ton that they didn't hear the rumble
of a train that was rapidly bearing
down upon them.
The warning whistle came. too late
for one of them, and before he could
sidestep he was urgently lifted to a
bank some feet away. Instead of dy-
ing on the spot he sat up, rubbed his
eyes a few times, and then his face
broke into a broad smile.

had nimbly jumped from the track

Ike Iceberg had a brindle cat. He
kept it in his room upon the second
story rear of Al Broome- The beast
was wild and dissolute. his ways were
dark and rough. He'd squat and fight
and roam at night-O, yes, that cat
was tough And when Ike Iceberg
left his fiat folks said he'd moved to
lose that cat.
Jake Schoenberg is the janitor at
a. Broome. He took his way one sum-
mer day to Ichberg's vacant ROOM
And crouching in the corner on a
piece OF passe mat, Jake Schoenberg
saw the PROSTATE form of Ichberg's
brind1e cat. "Du schoene katz," Jake
Schoenberg said, his heart with kind
ness filled. He reached to pet the
brindle cat and cried, "Gewalt. I'm
killed." And when from every room
and hall the frightened tenants come,
they find Jake Schoenberg tying up a
somewhat damaged thumb. They
search the room, they search the fiat,
but no one finds the brindle cat.
The thumb swelled up, the doctors
came, they b1istered and they bled,

was for a long time chairman of the
school committee. Visiting the Saun-

Nov, can any of you tell me what
a statesman is?'
A little hand went up, and a little
girl replied:
"a statesman is man who makes
speeches.
Hardly that answered Mr. Her

is related of Nanny Jane" when
she was living in "Chawlstun." 1t was
a part of her duties to attend the gate
and receive the cards of callers. The
bell was on the gate of the southern
homes and visitors did not leave their
carriages until the servant of the
house waited upon them at the gate.
Nanny Jane,' like all good house
servants in the south, understood her
business. On the occasion referred to

that Miss Sallie was not to be seen
