The tow linen cloth had one peculiar

often exchanged for other things. A
man and his wife started to town with

COWS HAVE STOMACH ACHE.
Cattle Eat Green Apples and Milk
 Famine Results.

New Haven, Conn.-William E Hunter, a milkman at Naugatuck, sent word to his customers the other day that he could not furnish them with milk as usual, because his herd of cows had stomach ache. A milk fam. inc ill the town resulted, and hurry calls were sent to this city for milk to supply the babies and children.
 Hunter has fine herd of 40 cows. and usually they are we'll behaved, hut some of the frisky leaped the pasture fence into an apple orchard an Mr. Hunters farm, began feasting on the windfall apples. and soon were suffering from pain under their belts.
 The remainder of the herd. unable to withstand the temptation, tore down the fence, and not only cleaned the ground of fallen apples, but ate all in reach on the trees as we'll
 When Mir Hunter went out to drive them to the stable all were in a sad state because of too much apple juice As a result, the milk was unfit for use and MT. Hunter says it may be several days before he can resume business"

Aunt Mary's "Quiet" Funeral.

A dear old New England spinstet, the embodiment of the timid and shrinking, passed away at Carlsbad, where she had gone for her health. Her nearest kinsman, a nephew, or 1ered the body sent back to be buried as was her last wish-in the quiet little country churchyard. His sur prise can be imagined. when, on open ing the easket, he beheld, instead of the placid features of his Aunt Mary, the majestic port of an English gen eral in full regimentals, whom he re- membered had chanced to die at the same time and place as his aunt At once he cabled to the generals heirs, explaining the situation and requesting instructions. They came back as follows: Give the general quiet fu- neral, Aunt Mary inferred today with full military honors, six brass bands, saluting guns

Explorer Amundsen, However, Mus' Spend Three Years in Calculations.

Seattle. Wash.-Capt Boald Amund- gen. the discoyerer of the northwest passage. has reached Seattle on tos steamship Saratoga from Nome.
 My observations extend over period of three years and it will tase three years to calculate them oht' said he. Until that time it is utter. ly impossible to say positively what have accomplished by my oos erFa- tions. believe, however, that l nave located the north magnetic poie. can not say as yet whether 1t IS a shifting point or extends over a large area
 We also took careful observations of the aurora borealis and believe my observations will show that thls phenomenon has marked effect upon the compass. Our geological and eth noIogical collection has been carefully attended to and is fairly complete.
 Valuable scientific instruments used b. Captain Amundsen in taking mag netic observations were not 10 oe found when he left the steamship sar- atoga. It was at first thought they had been stolen, but he later stated hey probably had left them in Nome. Their loss may seriously lnterlere with his magnetic observations.

StutterlnQ.

Of the etiology of stuttering we know nothing definite. Direct inherit ance is rare. and possibly imitation is the chief factor when father and son are affected. There is usually well marked neurotic inheritance. others in the family having various forms of nervous complaints. But l have not been able to confirm Gharcots state ment that stuttering and ordinary ia. cial paralysis frequently occur in the aame family. Shocks, frights and de- bility after some acute illness are the causes to which the onset is most frequently attributed by parents. lm- itation is undoubtedly an occasional cause. children having often been known to start the habit when put in charge of a stuttering nursemaid. A friend of mine, who was extremely fond of horses and was hardly to be kept out of the stables, acquired a most obstinate stutter from the groom. Adenoid vegetations are often met with and are important as predispos- ing cause, since they tend to prevent the proper filling of the chest with air. When present they should be re- moved as a preliminary measure, all though it must not be expected that their removal will lead to a prompt cessation of the stutter.-Lancet.

FAMOUS CAT CASE SETTLED.
awsuit Caused by Staying of kitty
 Withdrawn from Court.

Chrisnev. nd.-The famous cat case" of the town of Chrisney against David Axton has come to close. 1hls close is the withdrawal of the appeal by the town of Chrisney, which was taken to the circuit court from Justice Sandages court at Gentryyille. At different times there have been seven attornevs employed and, exclusive or their fees. the costs have amounted to more than $50. And, 1t was all over a cat.
 Some weeks ago AXton was annoyed by a tomeat, which sat on the back fence at his home and made the night hideous. The cat had also bounced on some of the chickens owned by Ak ton and carried them away. AXton re- solved to do away with the cat.
 He got a shotgun and one night blew out the brains of poor kitty" He was arrested for violating the town or finance of shooting within the cor porate limits. but at trial in Justice Sandages court at Gentryyille he was found not guilty. On the advice or the attorneys for the town of Chris ney the town board decided to appeal the case to the Spencer district court, which was done a few days ago. Now the attorneys have asked the with. irawal of the appeal

There will be no more hoboes supplied with comfortable place to sleep and plenty to eat with out compensation, either he said. There is plenty of work 1 can make these 'vags do, and they've got to work
 The officers the other morning ran three vags out of town and incar- cerated four. and the chief of police says the end is not yet. as there are others he knows to be in hiding about, and he is looking for them The men arrested were put to work cleaning up the alleys in the saloon section of the city, all but the best behaved of the prisoners being laboring at the end of ball and chain
