One of the first things an American
man or woman rushes out to buy in
London is a serviceable we'll cut mack
intosh, and the second article to be
purchased is usually an umbrella. A
man can buy in London a smart wa
terproof which with occasional reproof-
ing will last him lifetime for or t
guineas. In New York a very bad imi-
tation will cost him from $40 to $50.
The British umbrella is not only a
thing of beauty in workmanship, but
it will outlast all competitors across
the seas.-London Express.

THE POOR CAT.
One cpeasion When the Animal Did
Not Come Back.

Not Tome Back.
| When the cat died the whole family
went into mourning, figuratively if not
! literally. No common back door cat
this, but one that must be buried with
all honor. The question was how and
where
Some one proposed cremation, but
this was rejected on the ground that
1t sounded too much like lynching. It
was finally proposed that the father,
who had to cross ferry every day to
his place of business, should drop it
overheard, and as burial at sea rath-
er appealed to the sentimental attitude
of the family this idea was received
favorably.
The following morning the remains
Of the cat were made into package
and securely tied It was q lovely day,
and the ferryboat was crowded with
passengers, and what had seemed so
simple at home assumed unexpected
difficulties in the face of a curious
crowd, ready to imagine anything and
to put the worst construction on an ap-
parcntly mysterious action
Finally it occurred to the father that
the best time would be the evening,
and he could slip the cat overheard
without attracting notice in the dusk.
Through the day it occupied a corner
of his Office, and he was glad when the
time came for the return trip.
He waited until the boat was well
out in the stream and then. CHANGING
around furtively laid his hand on the
package Suddenly it struck him what
would seem strange in broad daylight
would seem doubly so at night.
With smothered groan he replaced
it on the seat beside him. There was
no help for 1.-THE would have to carry
it home again.
AS he took his seat in the train that
was to convey him the rest of the way
he placed the cat on the shelf above
his head and for the first time that
day forgot all about it, Hurrying to
get off the car when he reached his
destination, he was halted by some one
behind him, who thrust into his hand
the i'll fated package
When he reached his house he threw
it down on n chair in the hall and went
in to supper In the middle of it the
maid came in and asked how she
should cook the meat he had brought
with himY
Meat" he exclaimed. "That isn't
meat It's
But at this moment the maid pro-
duced the package and showed him a
choice piece of meat. History does not
say what the man said who got the
cat-New York Sun.

SEVERAL CORRECT ANSWERS.
(From Sundays Daily.)

It is evident that n number of south erncrs, familiar with the ways of south crn planters reside in Prescott. This was made manifest by the number of correct answers received by the "Puz- gle Editor' to the conundrum, "If ho come, he don't come; if he don t come, hc come,' which was handed in by a southern visitor, and published in yes tcrday's issue.
 Mrs. Anna Simms, residing at No. 327 South Granite street, wins the prizS offered, her correct answer having been the first received at this office.
 The story goes that the slave, when offered his freedom for conundrum, was watching his master planting corn, when he propounded the above puzzle. Mrs. Simms' answer is as follows: "If the crows come, the corn won't come; if the crows don't come, tho corn will come.''
 As the southern darky usually speaks of everything as Che" the correctness of the answer is obvious. If Mrs. Simms will call at this office today she will be treated 10 the Sunday dinner offered as a prize by the south ern gentleman, or if she prefers, it's equivalent in coin of the realm wilt be given her.
 Someone signing him or herself as "Onc Who Eats No Dinner. v also sent in the correct answer, but after Mira Simms' answer had been received.

TARGET PRACTICE FINISHED AT
 ERODE.
(From Sundays Daily.)

Yesterday, target practice by com. panics was finished at the target range at Camp Brodic, by the National Guard, and from now until the cncampmcnt closes Major l.. W. Coggiss, inspector of rife practice, will devote the greater portion of his time in selecting the best shots of the different companies for team to compete for honors at the national shoot in Camp Perry, Ohio, the latter part of the present month. The ranges used for the practice were the 200, 300 and 500 yard ones, and each member of the companies was al. lowed only 10 shots at each range.
 Speaking of the practice shoots, Major Coggins, who passed through here last night, cn route 10 Iron Springs, where he will spend the Sab. bath, said: "The general average of the company shoots this year is higher than last. The time allowed for prac. ticc is n little too short, for the reason that the men are allowed only 10 shots at each range. Firing ten shots only warns n man up n little, and it looks reasonable that if the men were al. lowed more shots n higher percentage would be made.
 "Some of the officers in the regular army state they believe that the range at Camp Brodie is not as good as some o{her target ranges in the United States. They claim that there are cl. dies in the atmosphere which interfere to some extent with the course of the bullet. This is reasonable, nc at times flags at different points on the range indicate the course of the wind in al- most opposite directions. This may he true, but as far as I am concerned, the range seems to me to be all right.
 "The camp is all right and could not be improved upon. It is located on q gentle slope and 1t takes only few minutes after the heaviest showers for the water Co flow away.
 "The health of the men has been excellent and the medical stan has not been kept very busy.
 "The date for the governors visit has not yet been decided upon on ac' count of the visit of Secretary of the Interior Garfield to the Roosevelt dam at which time the governor, in all prob ability, will be present. However, VI expect him at Camp Brodie before tho encampment closes, which will be [ week from today"
 On account of the heavy rains of las evening it was decided by the o6aeer at Camp Brodie that today would be { day of rest, 60 all orders of tho do,
 were cancelled and the Guards allowc' to spend Sunday visiting this city an the different points of interest in tn surrounding country. One of tn Guardsmcn, who drove in late las
 night, from camp, stated that tn

 joyment in the trip, should they com
