Leading the way into large hotel,
she stepped to the desk and spoke
to the clerk. He nodded, and handed
her letter. Marie. her puzzled

and asked to be excused while she

Pigeons Long Flight.

story of captivity from which it had
escaped, a pigeon which was one OF
the contestants in the. 400 mile race
from Memphis to Louisville, has
reached it's loft in the yard OF the
home of Charles With, nearly two
weeks late The bird flew into its
loft as if glad to get back home, but
it showed that it mad not had a pleas
ant journey from Memphis.
It is supposed that the pigeon was
trapped by some one when It was
blown out of it's course by the storm
the birds are known to nave en-
c%ountered. Although it is not posi-
lively known, it is easily supposed
that the bird, after being held in cap
tiyity for several days, vas released,
the capturers thinking the bird would
stay. AS socn as it was turned loose
the bird took up it's interrupted flight
to Louisville and home.-Louisville

Sleepinu Place for Cats.

For cats as well as dogs, the neat
est sleeping place is a strong, closely
woven wicker basket. Favorite pets
have a basket with a curving canopy
top, decked out with a big satin bow
and carpeted with a rug of white
goats hair. Simpler baskets are round
and fat and show a deep opening at
one side. A soft blanket should al
ways be laid in the bottom of these
and made fresh and clean at least
once a week, says the Philadelphia
Record.
A pet cat is so very tidy about her
own appearance that she requires less
attention than a canary or a dog. AS
a kitten, a dish Of milk should be plac
ed where she can always take a drink
An older cat always likes a bowl Of
milk kept filed for her in the kitchen
while the scraps from the table com
prise the remainder Of her nourish
Nment. Scarcely any meat should be
given in a cats diet during winter.
