Money In Cats.

There certainly Is money in cats--if
they are the right kind. Even the
wrong kind, any sort of an old cat, was
worth $25 in the early days OF Alaska
mining camps, when the field mice
came down like wolf on the fold up.
on -four and bacon stores. But one wo-
man of original mind gets sometimes
more than $50 head for cats and does
not have to send them to Alaska either.
Fond of cats, like most women, she hit
upon the project of rearing blooded
ones and selling them. She made q
speciality of Angoras. One kitten. a
gift to her, was her stock In trade In
the beginning. 1t was a luck gift.
Both cats and patrons increased rapid
ly. From small quarters In large
city the Angora cat breeder presently
removed to farmhouse with ample
grounds about it for her live stock.
She does thriving business and does
not have to work SO very hard.

She never repeated any gossip one
woman lodger told her about another;
she never would even listen to such
gossip. If woman began it, this
model lodging house keeper made some
excuse and got away quickly. Fur
ther, she made her dodgers feel at
home, permitting them to take into
their rooms furniture and bric-a-brac of
their own If they so desired, She kept
her house Immediately clean, the fur
niture and carpets in perfect repair
and gave her dodgers plenty of fresh
towels. And she herself worked very
hard and looked personally after every
thing.

Several times he tried to obtain the

In February. 1852, his regiment was
transferred to Woods Division at Nash
VILE where he was promoted TO Colonel
of the 18th Ind. which he had COM
manded most of the tina. He was with
Buell. in his move to Pittsburs, Landing.

whom no history of the civil war can be

of his brigade. He was the father OF
the mounted infantry movement: his
brigade the first child. They were rmed

them first at his own cost, afterwards
repaid by the Government. Commence

a position that Bragg was afterwards
forced to drop back to Tullahoma
thence south to Chattanooga first on
one side and then on the other of the

in the Chickamauga fight, making such
stubborn resistance to the enemy that

position and change the face of the bat

inscparable; winding up in the Selma
campaign under Gen. Wilson. In the
recent articles, The Army of the Cum
berland," by John McElroy, there was
rarely an issue in which Wilder and his
brigade is not mentioned. and always in
praise of their brilliant work. After the
war Gen. Wilder went back to the scenes
of his military glory. and became as
strenuous in peace as in war, building
the great iron works at lockwood. the
first modern iron works south of the
Ohio River and the pioneer of the i'm

The Ohio Veterans Have All Confidence

Editor National Tribune: In reading
your article of March %, headed THE
Man Roosevelt Wants." you say "Presi-
dent Roosevelt is determined to crush
Senator Foraker, wants to drive him
from public life, wants to conclude the
Senator's career in anything but popu-
lar favor"
Ohio has politicians that will stand
by Senator Foraker as long as he lives
and then honor his memory; Ohio has
soldiers that admire Senator Foraker
and will vote for him whenever he is
running for any office. and they have
sons that will vote for him for Presi-
dent if they are given the chance, and
Ohio has business men that will rally
to his side in every contest he may en-
ter, for they know Joseph Benson For

Foraker and Dick have a political
machine in Ohio, with a brave. noble

Columbus named Harris, who has a
old soldier in the Pension Agency named
Warnock, who will march to the music
of the Union according to the music
and tune with swing that means VIC
tory. under Foraker this Fall and next
Fall at the ballot box.
Taft's Akron speech will be the red
flag, with his free trade views that will
cause him and his following to fall out
side of the breastworks. Roosevelt is
not the only honest man, and the vot-
ers of Ohio will not let him do their
thinking and voting. and the Taft boom
will run its course the same as the
Daugherty and Burton boom did at
Dayton last year, and Herrick's in
dorsement of Taft will not add to its
success.
Taft may be globe trotter and run
well on water in foreign lands, but ON
land in Ohio, at the ballot box, he will
be in the also ran class unless Dick and
Foraker put the seal on his credentials

thousand soldiers vote in Ohio, and their
influence will be for Foraker.-D. w.

The rumor of President Roosevelt's
intention to go to Europe as soon as his
term expires calls attention to the fact
that he will have no difficulty in con-
versing in the language Of nearly every
country he may visit there. Probably
no ruler in the world to-day speaks as
many languages as Mr.. Roosevelt does.
He mastered French and German under
tutors while a boy in both of the coun-
tries in which those tongues are spoken,
and it is said that he writes with greater
| facility and more regard for the rules of
grammar in those languages than he
does in English. He acquired Spanish
patois while associated with cowboys in
the West, and this furnished basis for
his mastery OF the real Castilian. Only a
few years ago he learned Italian. which
is so closely related both to Spanish and
French that he had little trouble in
learning 1t. As boy in Europe he lived

trates his almost fanatic hatred of OK

His wealth grew rapidly for those

kept down as rigidly as in the first year
of his married life, and in this he had
the active cooperation of his wife. The
Importance he attached to this cooper
alton is well illustrated by an incident
that occurred about this time. One of
his associates, George Acker, who was
secretary of the Northwestern Fut
Company, had married a very beautiful
woman, who, according to Mr.. Hills
notion, was unduly extravagant. He
protested to Acker, and finding that this
had no influence in curbing Mrs. Acker.
he went direct to the wife herself.

he thought that something thicker would be
better; and Emily laughed right out and

Jewel Fastening for Violets.

From the London Mall
Slowly but surely the corsage bouquet
brooch is becoming a necessity to the fash
ionable woman. There are dressmakers
who add to the corsages they send out clev-
erly concealed straps of elastic covered with
silk. through which the nosegay can be
threaded, with full assurance of retaining
its place. Otherwise, what is woman to
do to keep her corsage bouquet from nod
ding forward and detaching itself from Its
moorings?
The ordinary safety pin brooch is not
considered strong enough for the purpose
and il an ugly strong one is used an effect
of elegance cannot be secured. A brooch
that is pretty and that will look charming
is consequently requisite.
The latest edition of the corsage bouquet
brooch that has been seen in London is in
tended primarily to attach the nosegay OF
violets that is so popular among women at
this season of the year. 1t is made of sill
yer. in the form of a strong and specially
devised safety pin. from the center OF
which. upon quivering stem. large violet,
exquisitely modelled and set with diamonds,
uprears its head.
The diamond violet mingled with the mod
est purple and white blossoms has
charming effect. and the stem of it is so
devised that it helps to keep the real flow
ers in their proper position
