Sailors have always had a fondness
for collecting pets-parrots and mon
keys being favorites in the old days.
Every one of the nine lives of the
ships cat were respected, and any
harm to Madame Puss was certain to
bring dire calamity.
Fashions in pets change, as in all
things else. One can remember when
the whole country was flooded with
spotted coach dogs. Then they went
out of fashion and disappeared, sue
ceeded by the black-and tan terrier,
followed in turn by the mischievous
fox terrier. that must give way to some
other successor in the course of time.
The goat has been favorite on
board American warships for some
years, and on the Missouri of the fleet
which has just left Honolulu was d
seasoned old salt which has circum-
navigated the globe three times. He
has an unnatural appetite for burning
tobacco. When he sees a sailor smok-
ing pipe, he follows him about until
the pipe is presented TO him, when he
wipes out the contents of the bowl
| with one twist of his tongue, When he
| sees that it is empty, he walks away
on the lookout for the next man who
may give him his favorite treat.
This goat came very nearly being
translated to ,ae happy hunting grour d
on the voyage down from the coast.
One night he broke into the potato
locker and ate potatoes until he could
eat no longer, being thereafter attack
ed by a fit of acute indigestion. 1t
took all the skill of the ships surgeon
and all known remedies to save him.
But by the time he reached this port
he was as lively as ever, apparently
none the worse for his indiscretion.
While the feet was in Seattle each
of the sixteen ships was presented a
bear cub. of the common brown species.
They were OF various ages and sizes.
but most of them were still so young
that they required to be fed from a
bottle. This formed the bottle habit,
which, not being guided by intelligence,
! led to the worst results in some eases,
as will he shown hereafter. The cubs
were quite picturesque feature of the
procession in Seattle, lending what
might be called decided touch of local
| color to the parade.
| When the opportunity presented
| itself there was considerable bartering
/ among the crews, the Connecticut jack

| their smaller cub for an animal that
| was well grown.
| On the occasion of their first shore
leave, several of the crews brought
/ their bears with them Two men at

| in an automobile with little 3ruin
sitting up between them, apparently

On the afternoon of Admiral s;per-
rvs reception the Connecticut cub was
| tied mp on the wharf. where he was
much noticed and petted-at a safe dis
| tance-by the Admiral s guests. A heap
of peanut shells, among which he claw
ed wistfully, now and then, showed
that his newly-acquired tastes had
| been generously supplied.

The fish. which have been kept in

MUCH GU R|OS|TY
ABOUT Mr.. REID s
POSITION
LETTER FROM LONDON TELLS OF
THANKSGIVING DOiNGS-SOME
PERSONS BELIEVE HENRY
WHITE WILL SUCCEED REID.

LONDON, Dec. 5.-Thanksgiving
day was marked in England as usual
by a banquet Of the American So
ciety, held at the Hotel Cecil 1t can
not be said that any special disunc-
ton was conferred upon the occasion
by the speeches. nor were the English
guests who graced the festive board
of any particular light and leading.
One noble earl proposed a toast to the
president OF the United States, and
another sang the praises OF Whitelaw
Reid, apparently considering that the
American ambassadors chief merit
was that OF resembling an English
gentleman.
The latter speaker also seemed TO
take II for granted that Mr.. Reds
tenure of his post at the Court OF ST.
James was shortly coming TO an end,
but | do not think any member OF
the audience suspected him OF having
any Official knowledge of the Presi-
dent-elects intentions.
Naturally there is a considerable
amount Of discussion on the subject
here, with a formidable crop OF gos-
sip, rumors, and speculation. particu-
larly since the New York correspond
emit OF the London Times gave publ
city to the Washington report that
Henry White would probably be the
next ambassador to England. But
persons In an excellent position to
know are unaware OF any tangible de-
velopments.
Mr.. Reid himself omitted any refer
ence to the subject in his speech,
which was remarkable in that II con-
tanned the only attempt at POPULARITY
made by any orator during the even
ing: that Is, unless the remarks deliv.
cred by the noble earl aforesaid were
intended 10 be an example OF British
humor. Mr.. Reds little joke was a
suggestion that only one power could
profit by war in Europe. namely the
United States
Brother Jonathan, said he. though
peaceful. was uncommonly CONNER
cial, and whoever might lose by indis-
Greet belligerency next spring, he
would not lose.
II was a matter OF much regret that
Gen. Miles. who is In London for a
few days, did not attend the banquet,
at which the most conspicuous Amer
lean guests, outside OF those living In
London. were Rear Admiral Stockton
and Prof. George G. Wilson. the Am
erican delegates TO the international
maritime conference, in whose honor
the Pilgrims society gave a dinner
earlier II. the week.

CHICAGO, Dec. 5.-Raymond L.
Bernier, founder OF two financial mag
azines. who had a career pyrotechni'
cally unexceled In the field or wild
cat finance" has been arrested IN
Goldfeld. New, and Is on his way To
Chicago. He will arrive here today IN
charge OF secret service men. Tho
greatest care has been taken by the
government officers TO keep the ar
rest OF Bernier secret.
Bernier had Offices in the Majestic
building, occupying the whole TOP
floor. Many persons were hit hard III
the mining swindle which he Is
charged with perpetrating.
There is to be some secret scheme
10 free Bernier of his liabilities and
responsibilities, It is reported. but the
exact nature a mystery as are many
other things connected With the hght
OF the man.
There was large splurge when
Bernier came 10 chicago from New
York Two years ago, the stir caused
by the authoritative appearance OF his
journal of finance and the sensation
following the publication OF the first
and only number OF Opportunities or
Today the reaping OF the first har-
vest and then the discovery that there
was not a mountain OF gold behind 1t,
the consequent dwindling of his es'
Establishment and then the food OF COM
plants which caused his hasty de-
parture.
Bernier bought small farm maya
zine IN Michigan to obtain circula-
ton status and opened his Offices In
the Majestic building. The entire
nineteenth floor was fitted up with
cost OF $4,000. Several editors and
writer's were employed. a well-known
artist hired, and the magazine was
ready for business. To big printing
firm he paid more than $4,000 TO get
out the first number OF the magazine
which was TO boost his stock plans.
The magazines came out after num-
erous delays and was said TO be ono
OF the finest examples OF the printers
art ever issued. The printers went
TO work on the second number OF the
magazine. when the word went around
that Bernier was broke"

TORRING, Conn. Dec. o.
Henry II. Catlin, rs years old, was d
widower four times over; four times
he had been bereaved OF the dearest
woman in the world" But he cannot
shake OF the habit Of falling In love-
Such has been his weakness for mar
rying that his relatives and friends
had the court appoint conservator
of bis person and estate lest he give
away everything he owns in a foolish
moment.
The stingy court allowed Mr.. Catlin
s26 q month, which Is not q fortune
even here. Nevertheless. he kept his
unalterable purpose in mind; he
yearned for O nth wife and he meant
to take her; his desire to round out
quintet Of helpmates never faltered'
His prodigality OF love made him
misery Of money; he stinted himself;
out Of his meagre income he saved
enough to set up housekeeping In
modest way.
Then ne advertised for a wife. Once
he travelled to the Isle OF Pines, once
to Montreal, once to New York state
to answer In person letters he had re-
ceived from ladies inclined TO matri-
mony. One coldly told him she had
two grandfathers. the number nature
allows. The Canadian lady. more flip
pant, retorted to his pleadings that
her fad Is to collect coins. not fossils.
The York state woman rejected him
because, she said. he Is not as good
looking as he advertised.
But hope sprang eternal In Catlin's
evergreen breast. Recently he got
