the following interview:
~ have not yet resigned. but am
ready to do so the moment Judge
Fisk s,gnities his willingness to quail
ify, as 1 am naturally anxious to re-.

Judge Knauf.
"The facts of the matter are as
follows: After the election of Judge
Fisk was assured l wrote him NY
congratulations and suggested that
as desired to take up my private
practice at the ca liest moment iC
might be a good thing for all con-
cerned If were to tender nv resig-
nal ion Nov. 18th when the supreme
court convened at Bismarck again,
and asked him If this would be satis-
factory 70 him, az ] felt sure Govern
or Sarles would release me and would
most assuredly appoint Judge Fisk to
the judgeship to which he had been
elected. Later I talked with Judge
Fisk over the phone and he said 1t
would be Impossible for him to resign
for two or three weeks 90 account OF

DOING FOR THE PARSON.
Observation-Disclosures

The old custom of having the minis
ter and the school teacher board
round" is not wholly forgotten, as is
seen in an incident reported by the
Florida Times Union. The parson is Il
successful circuit preacher, who in his
younger days was sent as a missionary
to Florida. The town was off from
any railroad line, and was sparsely
populated. The new minister gathered
the people and told them that he in
tended to establish church; that
churches brought schools schools set
tiers, and settlers prosperity.
II have no money" he said, but
intend that you people shall care for
me. What can you do for the preach
er l don't intend to put the burden
upon all of you, turn and turn about
l will not go, however, where the latch
string is not hanging out of the door.
What can you do for the preacher?"
One old lady, who had dim recol-
lection of a small church in the piny
woods of Georgia when she was a girl,
said:
II kin eat him, but l can't sleep
him"
That's good" responded the parson.
Now who next?'
We'll, if Sister Jenkins Is gwine to
eat him, I'll agree to steep him, but
| can't wash him."
That's good. Who next?"
Here another sister spoke up: 'Well,
l reckon l can wash him. but | amt
much on billed Shirts

the parson the story does not state.

CATS IN ANCIENT HISTORY.
Pet Feiines Caused Adam a Whole
Lot of Trouble with His wives.


Lot of Trouble with His wives.
We have read with great interest
your scientific article about cats de.
scribing how the electricity developed
in their backs and tails by friction had
exploded gas tank, etc, statements,
and it Is recorded in the Talmud that
when the Lord gave unto Eve cat to
console and comfort her after being
banished from Eden she was particu-
larry charged to beware of the sparks
emanatlng from the cats back during
thunderstorms, and to go back still
further, when Adams first wife. the
lovely Lilith. quarreled with her hus-
band 1t is said the trouble arose over
the fact that Lilith insisted upon her
cat sleeping ON the foot of the bed
Again we are told that the fire in
Noah's ark was kindled each morning
by sparks from the cats tail; and, by
the way, this cat was sneezed from the
nOstrils of the lion in the ark, at the
Lords command, in order to destroy
the rats and mice which overran the
ship.
Although the cat is nowhere mention
ed In holy writ, an old Arab legend re-
counts that Pharoh's daughter. the fair
Merida (the one who found Moses in
the bullrushes), was extremely fond of
cats, and while she in her tent sat
knitting socks for little Nose the cat
would play with the ball of yarn
And Herodotus tells us of the swarms
of cats that hung around the houses
of the slaves when they were build
ing the pyramids and when the cats
became sick from overeating they
would wander off to the banks of the
Nile TO get some catnip, and he also
informs us that in the thirtieth dynas-
ty Of the Egyptian kings it was capt.
tai offense to kill cat, and that when
one died the master of the house cut
off his hair, whiskers and eyebrows
and sat in a public place covered with
sackclOth and ashes, and at this time
cats were embalmed and mummied by
being soaked for seventy days in Ma
tron, the belief being that at the gen.
eral resurrection their spirits would
return and inhabit their bodies.
We may here say that we have in our
possession the only mummed cat in
this country (althOugh there are
number in the British museum) which
was taken from a tomb in ThebeS
There Is one peculiar trait in feines.
In case of danger the mother cat will
always pick out first from her litter
the toms and take them to place of
safety, letting the tabs look out for
themselves. There are hundreds of
other queer things about cats which
would no doubt interest your readers
if you could spare the space to have
them described.-New York Herald.

MADE PRIZE CATCH.
A Fourteen FEAR Old Boy Spears Sew
entY-fiye Pound Catfish.

4 75-pound catfish, one of the largest
taken from the Mississippi in the vicinity
of Eagle Point in years was speared by
Frank Strong, u 14-year-old boy, Satur-
day. 1t was of the mud catfish variety
and was yellow in color. The lad was
assisted in taking it from the river by
some section men who were working
nenr where the fish was located.
The boy was unable to handle il and,
after thrusting the spear into its back.
was drawn into the water by 1t and was
in danger of drowning when he was
given aid The head of 1t is larger than
q candy bucket and fourteen pounds of
meat was trimmed from one side of the
lower Jaw. 1t was four feet two inches
In length and was worth about $i2.
When discovered 1t was laundering
enong some bushes near the shore close
10 the railroad track on the Wisconsin
side of the river. and its immense size
prevented il from making its escape in
the shallow water.
At the first thrust of the spear the
fishs backbone wns broken, and this
handicapped II in its efforts to escape,
which. however, were almost successful
The huge creature gave two of its cap
tors n fierce battle and for fifteen min
utes an exciting time was had. Several
times in its PUSHES to get into deep water
the fish would pull the men from tho
bank, but with the aid of Il heavy club.
which was used effectively on its head,
the denizen of the deep was soon at the
mercy of its captOrs and was finally
landed. Its body was cut up by the men
and divided equally among them.-Du-
