One OF the wildcats at E. ID. Brann a

Wednesday night. In the morning the
cat had possession OF the store for while,
until Mr.. Brann arrived. and effected
speedy capture. Ii was the first arrest by
the new city marshal, and probab bly, the
first tine in the history of Ellsworth that
the city marshal has been called upon to
capture and lock upa wildcat, although
they have had some subjects almost as
bad The cat during its freedom stalked
a stuffed heron and chewed it up. No one
witnessed this tragedy OF the wild, but an
Ellsworth man with vivid imagination
says that when the cat ripped open the
bird it cried Excelsior, and tried to get
back in its cage. At all events it did no
further bunting, and the body OF the wild
swan which had been left at the shop that
day. and which would have made dainty
morseI for the cat, was not touched.

Perhaps the thought expressed by
Mr.. Vanderbilt Is not strictly new or
original. but II Is tho first time, as
far as we know, where one of Ii, :
strenuous set has looked the question
squaroly in the face and admitted the
truth. The statement of Mr.. Wander

he is right beyond all question when
he says tina, II Is In the simple life
where marriage. In the best sense OF
tho term, can be said TO have met
with the greatest success. and the
reason for II Is plain. The remark
is sometimes heard that there are a

is not that there are so many, but
that there are not more failures III

real love match, the couple are not
