the fact remains that the separate waist
has made long strides In the favor Of
the well-dressod women OF the day. and.
therefore, once again every well ap-

bodices which apparently have no real
relation with any other garment of
milady's collection.
While every form OF waist Is In vogue,

prime favorites, especially for use with
two piece suits and the model printed
today, most satisfactory creation from

ASS Kicked Himself Dead.

Another attempt to secure a wild
ass for exhibition in this country has
failed, says a New York dispatch to
the Baltimore Sun. None has ever
reached this country. The dead BODY
of one of the animals, consigned to
the Bronx Zoo, arrived on the steam
er Mesaba. The ass had kicked itself
to death. It was in good health and
spirits when put on board the Mesa
ba, having cheered itself by kicking
three porters and longshoreman on
the way to the docks in London.
On December 8, when a storm
arose, the wild ass did also. At mid
night ofthat day the first officer sa-
luted the captain and reported that
the ship was in peril from the con-
slant kicking. He thought the boil
ers were shifting, he said. AS the
ship rolled the ass fell down occa-
sionally, but never missed a kick. He
kicked a hole in the rear Of the stall,
and then he turned around and kick
ed a hole in the front. Then he kick
ed holes through the two sides, and
when his gallant spirit fed he was
engaged in a vigorous effort to kick
his way through three steel decks to
the engine room and kick the boilers
overheard. The chief engineer be-
lieves he would have succeeded, too,
if he had not been called home.
The wild ass which figured in this
deep sea narrative had for some years
made it's home in the London Zoo.

WILDCATS HIGHLY TRAINED.
Hunter Teaches Savage Felines to
Catch Muskrats for Him.

There are scores of trappers now
engaged in capturing muskrats for
the fur market, but not one of them
is having the success of Fred Per-
kins, says the Philadelphia Amerl-
can. This woodsman, who formerly
lived in Vermont, says it is a poor
day that does not bring him in SO
pelts, and there have been times
when the catch reached eighty-fve.
Mr.. Perkins attributes these re-
of disorder. The dog was killed and
tional fact that he uses wildcats to
catch muskrats.
cit may not be generally under
Stood" said Mr.. Perkins, that the
wildcat is the natural enemy OF the
muskrat and delights in killing for
the pure sport of the thing, just as
the common house cat finds pleasure
in life killing ordinary rats and
mice.
"Of course, it required some pains
to teach the wildcats not to tear the
pelt and to bring the muskrats to the
cabin after they had been caught. BY
being patient and treating my wild
cats gently, at last brought them TO
a high state of development.
Indeed, they went further than l
hoped for. Finding that much time
was lost in travelling from the lake
to the cabin, they divided up the
work, some of the wildcats devoting
all their time to Staying, while the
others acted as laborers and brought
in the carcasses."

serious Charges Against Tinsley.

Charges with robbery from the per-
son, highway robbery, assault with
pistol with intent to kill and carrying
concealed weapons, Frank Tinsley, a
white man whose home is said to be
at Laurens, is lodged in the county
Jail.
On Thursday afternoon it is alleged
that Tinsley met negro man who
was carrying a jug of whiskey and
forced him to give him $40. T1nsley, 1t
is alleged, masqueraded as an ottlcer
of the law and threatened the negro
with arrest if he did not give him the
money. The negro complied with the
request, after pistol had been
drawn.
In the warrant, which was sworn
out yesterday before Magistrate
Stradley, the negro alleges that the
total value of the articles taken from
him is S13. Tinsley was arrested
about two miles from the city Thurs
day night. He claims Laurens as his
home. It is not known whether he
will demand preliminary or Will
waive it and have the case against
him tried in the court of general ses-
sions, which convenes on Monday
Greenville News.

Spartanburg Man Gulled.

Spartanburg, Jan. 15.-The story
is told here to-day of the defrauding
of local attorney by one Albert
Thompson, notorious character in
sporting circles, out of $4OO by the
lightning change or a diamond ring.
The local lawyer, it is said, holds
piece of glass and band of brass for
his cash. Thompson, it is said, at
tempted to borrow money on very
handsome diamond ring from the
lawyer and was told by the attorney
that he was not in the pawn broker
age business Afterwards he return
ed with proposition to sell the ring,
which he said was worth $500. The
lawyer took the stone to a local
jeweler and YVES assured that It's
value was at least $500. Upon this
he accepted Thompson's proposition
to dispose of it for $4O0 and while
he turned to his desk to write the
check for the amount, it is supposed
Thompson substituted the worthless
ring for the real one, which he had
been lingering. When the purchaser
presented his purchase to the JeWeler
to have it remounted he was inform
ed that the stone was not genuine.
It is said Thompson promptly had
his check cashed and has disappear
led.
The ring is said to have been the
property of Mrs. Minnie Mitchell, the
Spartanburg woman who recently tlg-
ured in the sensational kidnapping
of her child from her husband IN
Chicago.
