SIR WILLIAMS FRANKS.

Q IR William is my cat, and though
~ l am sorry to have to say so, ]
must confess that he is a very
naughty cat, indeed. In the first place
he bites. He doesn't try to scratch you
when he Is ~displeased with you-he
simply and Unexpectedly bites. His
second great fault is that he run away
every week or SO and gets lost. and
when we have quite given him up and
d~espaired of seeing him he strolls Sc
renely into the house again. But his
third fault is the worst. Whenever he
finds any provisions on top of the re-
f~rigerator or on the kitchen table he
steals them n climbs away up m
where u Of reach and has q picnic all
by himself.
One of the worst instances of his bad
behavior occurred only last Friday. He
began by biting me n then fed away
over the fences to the Jones's house and
sauntered into the kitchen just as the
cook was getting a large fish ready
for dinner William saw the fish and
sprang upon the table to seize it. but
the cook was too quick for him and
chased him off with a broom.
Upstairs ran William, pursued by tho
indignant cook. At the head of the
stairs he met Duke, a cocker spaniel,
and, lodging him, dashed into the din
ing-room. where Mr.. and Mrs. Jones
were at dinner, and hid under the side
board. Duke flew after him and stuck
his nose under the sideboard, yelling
and snuffing excitedly.
"Inn get that cat out said Mr.. Jones,
coftinp his aapa from fho hall Co h.
poked at William under the sideboard
dnd-broke his cane. He was annoyed.
Stand by the door and stop him. -
he cried to Mrs. Jones, while l move
the sideboard."
Mrs. Jones, looking very determined,
blocked UP the doorway. But when, at
the first move of the sideboard, Will
liam rushed at her, his tail erect, his
eyes glaring. she gave way in a fright
and let him pass.
Upstairs to the children's room flew
William. with Duke, Mr.. Jones, Mrs.
Jones. the cook and the broom all at
his heels They plainly saw him run
into the room. but when they got there
he was nowhere to be seen. They
looked under the beds and under the
bureau, the children even woke up and
helped hunt. After a while they found
him outside the window. on the win
dow sill. Hold him. Duke." said Mr..
Jones to the cook, as he caught Will
liam and carried him down to the back
yard, There" he said to the assem-
bled company when he came upstairs
again. II think hat cat mas caused
trouble enough for one day. I guess
he won't come back here again in a
hurry!"

Washington, d. c., July 5.-The
Fourth of July was the senate's busy
day. From ten O'Clock In the morn
ing until 5:35 o'clock in the after
noon the senators labored. The day
was devoted in the main to the con-

visions of the bill and to the Brown

The best fight of the day was made
by Senator Rayner against the GUS
toms court feature of the administers
tive amendment.
He undertook to puncture the pro.
vision, and he made along a speech
in which he set forth with much
emphasis the declaration that the
court would be found to be uncon-
stitutional because, while dealing
with questions at common law, 1t
makes no provision for trial by jury.
which he said every suit or under
the common law has a right to de-
mand. He sharply criticized Mr.. AL
drich, whom he frequently remind
ed that he was not lawyer and
could not be expected to understand
legal and unconstitutional ques-
tons.
The provision was defended by q
number of the republican lawyers,
but Mr.. Root said that he had not
