AN INTELLIGENT TRAMP CAT.
Stray Feline Makes Herself invaluable
 to Policeman.

The little black and white kitten station as it's home since it wandered into the officers room one stormy night several months ago, is declared by the officers and men to be the most intelligent cat in Louisville and has won their affection as perhaps no other cat could do, says the Louisville Courier-Journal Fuss chief claims to the consideration and admiration of the policemen lies in her pro- nounced aggressive qualities, which however, are only exhibited when dogs of the nondescript variety emerge from the alley at the side of the police station and attempt to force their acquaintance upon her or at tempt an exploration of the subter ranean passages of the city hall.
 When one of the unwelcome visitors comes within puss' reach there is a hiss and snarl, the flash of white, outstretched paw and a badly fright ened dog sinking off down the alley. Fuss loses no time in instituting hos tilities against her enemies, and dogs large and of forbidding appearance, who formerly frequented the neigh borhood of city hall square, now give that region a wide berth at night, for it is between midnight and the dog watch that puss keeps her vigil. When not engaged in keeping CUTS away from the station house, puss generally may be found curled up and purring contentedly in the lap of one of the officers
 "Old John" the negro janitor of the station, who usually begins his daily routine at two o'clock in the morn ing, has trained the kitten to awaken him at that hour each morning. This the kitten accomplishes by licking his face, and when he feels it's soft, warm touch on his cheek he knows that it is time to get up and doing, for the officers and station keepers rooms must be cleaned and put in order be- fore the day squad comes on duty.
 During his night vigil, John Heinz man, the station keeper, insists that he finds the kitten excellent company when there are few calls for the pa trol wagon and there is little to claim his attention. Fuss favorite couch is on the telephone exchange board and she will lie there contentedly for hours when not awakened by dogs or calls on the telephone, at which her fur bristles with interest until the pa trol wagon has proceeded on it's mis- sion.

 Well, I ain't telling jest what han pened during them negotiations, but there ain't no mortgage on my place down to Friendship an my girl Polly has got a new pianner. When that lieutenant had gone over to the steam CT and come back with a bag which chinked when you shook it, 1 felt so good that l got out leetle something I had on board for fear me or Bill might be took sick. And then men the lieutenant crooked our elbows, once for the president and once for the czar And after the Rooshian he'd gone and the submarine had been lowed back to the steamer, men Bill just took another to the mikado, sos there shouldn't be any i'll feeling any where.
 "Thet's why I changed the name of the Polly to Submarine, sos there'd be a sort of record of the affair To be sure, it's a secret. Men Bill, n you n the folks to home, n the Rooshian s all that knows it. The Rooshian don't count. Them Rooshian sailors are good ones to keep secrets after they get round to meet the Japs; couldn't tell secret if they wanted to.

There are certain verbs of being and becoming," which do not demand the objective case-do not indicate any outside action. You will see the distinction between It and r. and Hit him in the eye"
 The confusion arises when the same verb may be used as a merely copulative and as strong and use. full compliment Even the very word become" has it's ambiguity, and gives an illustration of the double use. ln the beginning, according to the Book of Genesis, dust became we, though in that sense it would not be right to say that dust became us. i"t in the fulluess of time and the whirligig of language there has come an age when-if we are women-dust (froD powder puff) becomes Gs.

ntest Fsas in "Society."

The latest fad in cerfSss sS--:..s I :ssTrS- ciety circles is to be glum and cross. One phase of this more than usually absurd affectation takes the form of ignoring letters of introduction and this lack of consideration has reused family feuds in several cases One wealthy young Italian, who is a mem Der of one of the best Roman families, went to Newport this summer with many letters from prominent persons. But he has found it impossible to pre- sent them. Tt is foolish to expect anything from social leaders these days and the strangereNFho asks to be received by letter has a hard time of it,' said young man whose letter to a society matron was ignored.

A Man of 70 After Finding Coffee Hurt

When a man has lived to be 70 yeascs old with a 40-year-old habit grown to him like knot on a tree, chances are hell stick t> the habit till he dies.
 But occasionally the spirit of youth and determination remains in some men to the last day of their lives. When such men do find any habit of life has been doing them harm, they surprise the Oslerites by degree of ~win power that is supposed to belong to men under 40 only.

 T am thankful to say I had the nerve to quit coffee at once and take on Postum without any dawdling, and experienced no ill effects. On the con- trary, I commenced to gain, losing my nervousness within two months, also gaining strength and health otherwise.
 For a man of my age, I am very we'll and hearty. I sometimes meet persons who have not made their Postum right and don't like it. But l tell them to boil it long enough, and call their attention to my looks now, and before I used it, that seems con- vincing.

Did you hear that I'd changed the name of the Polly P?" asked Capt Solomon as l met him at the head of the wharf. Well, l hey. She's the Submarine now.
 "Ye see, it was just about two months ago, when 1 was going from Friendship, Maine, down to New York! Gen ally l carry man before the mast. Then there's Bill Clement, the cook, and me. But on this trip feller that was going as hand before the mast didn't show up, so there was jest men Bill. Howsomever, we got down into the sound all right. It was som'ers down New London way when the wind jest datted out, and the fog come down thick.
 T see 'twarn't no use trying to do northen' that night, and men Bill was both of us pretty nigh tuckered out, being short-handed so. So I sez to Bill: You get up for'ard and let go anchor and the Polly P. will stay right here tonight
 Twas about nine o'clock when was jest trimming in the main sheet and the rattle of the anchor had jest stopped that I heard Bill let out a screeeh. It begun like one of them little screeches a woman makes when she sees a mouse, and it kinder swelled up an bust into a howl like the yell of one of them new-fangled siren whistles on a tugboat. I rightly jedged that Bill was scairt, and then I'll confess to you that my hair kind of rig, what there is of it, for jest scraping and slumping alongside the old Polly was the durndest looking thing you ever see.
 The monster was moving kind of slow and, as it went scraping along under the quarter, jest abeam of the cabin winder, the lamplight fell on it's broad and shiny back, and all of a sudden l see in that black something which I knew never grew on Jonahs whale or the sea serpent either, cause twas a good, stout, iron ring-bolt Naturally when I see that ring-bolt

LITTLE THINGS AND BIG.
Differsntiate Between the Essential
 and the Non-Essentiai.


 Little things are often of great i'm portance, but when they are so they are not little. The pinion of watch wheel, for example, in one sense is little, In another sense it is not so at all; for when it is not perfectly ad- justed, the watch is worthless for time keeping. It is not size that makes a thing little or great, but it's relation to the end for which a number of things are combined. If a thing is essential it is Important. Because so many of the people who are always preaching the importance of little things fail to discriminate between the little and the non essential, they often make -wretched mess of the management of their own and other peoples affairs. Theoretically, if every factor that con tributes to result is perfect, the re-
 suit will be perfect; but practically, for want of time, strength and oppor- tunity, the efficient man is compelled to neglect some things for the sake of others; and, in order to do this and yet secure the main end, he has to discriminate between the essential and the non-essential. The one who is thoroughly imbued with the false doc Urine of the importance of little things, spends his strength without discrim- nation, and usually succeeds in miss ing the main chance.-The Watchman,
