actresses have reached an age when It
is permissible to retire from active
life; but the French actress is said to

be as young as ever she was IN the
palmy days when she and Henry Try

FREAK IN KITTEN TRIPLETs

Tigress, large cat owned by
James Albone of Middleport, N. Y,
gave birth a few days ago to three
kittens, which were all fastened along
the length of their sides to one an
other Their heads are all faced one
way and almost in a line, and they are
perfect in head, body and legs, all
three being able to stand at the same
time and walk
They are very active and bright
and were it not for the fact that they
are attached to each other by a thick
strip of flesh about an inch and half
in length along their sides, they would
not seem different from ordinary kit
tens. Owing to their peculiar color,
being reddish calico, white and NAL
tese, they have been named Red,
White and Blue.
Two other kittens complete the lit
ter The white kitten is the center of
one of the trio and seems to be the
largest and the strongest.

The cows were frisking about, kicking

Puzzled at these antics, the farmers
became worried when one after an

WHALE sTRANGLED ITSELF

The crew of a cable-repairing ship
working in the Pacific recently
brought back a remarkable story of
a whale.
The vessel in question had been
sent north along the coast of Alaska
to repair the cable, because during the
last winter difficulty had been expert
enced in sending and receiving mes
sages. The ship picked up the cable
connecting Valdez and Sltka, in Cass
Inlet, not far from Sitka. The crew
never had such time hauling cable
on board as they did that day on the
the Alaska coast. Finally the cause
of the great weight was made known.
Some time during the winter
whale feeding on the bottom OF the
ocean, with w1de-open mouth, collided
with the wire rope. Unable to shape
the big wire from the mass of whale
bone in its jaws, the big mammal
turned turtle" rolled over once,
turned round, rolled again and
dived.
In these few movements the fish
proved himself his own hangman, for
the cable was 6wisted tighter about
the head of the whale than any man
could have twisted it with the most
powerful machinery. The whale
drowned, and the carcass was de-
voured on the bottom of the ocean by
fish. The crew of the cable ship haul
ed up an immense load of whalebone,
and found great twist in the govern
ment cable that had been the cause
Of the unusual difficulty in sending
messages to and from either end Of
the rope.

GIRL SAMSON Who

MUSCULAR MAIDEN GIVES MAR.
Vicious EXHIBITIONS OF HER
GREAT STRENGTH.
AN ATHLETE FROM CHILDHOOD
Began With Light Exercise and Kept
at Work systematically Until Now
Exercising With Fifty-Pound Dumb
bells is Play for Her.

Scranton, Pa.-Miss Isabelle Lengel
is II and weighs 1T For pastime
she toys with 50-pound dumbbells,
swings on rings and takes a turn in
making punching bag beat ragtime
against an overhead platform.
But when Miss Lengel gets down to
real exercises, she lifts TOO pounds,
and does 1t with the grace and ease
that astonishes.
Miss Lengel has the appearance of
most any ordinary well developed girl.
Still she Is more than that; she is a
bundle of bone and muscle, nodded
in the graceful curves of a perfect
physically developed woman II any
body thinks Miss Lengel is not girl
of unusual strength let them take an
iron bar 80 inches long and hang
thereto three iron weights of 200
pounds each and then ties on two
dumbbells of so pounds each, bend
over, slip into their hands two grips
and straighten up, bringing the load
free from the floor. This Miss Lengel
does night and morning and gradually
she Is adding little more weight and
says she will not be content until she
can lift 1000 pounds as easily as she
now swings 700 from the floor.
This, of course, to be done without
the use of harness, for with har-
ness Miss Lengel can now lift 1000
pounds; but she thinks to lift 700
without harness counts for more than
an extra 800 with one.
When year and a half old, under
the tutelage of her father-himself an
athlete-the girl started training and
year later she lifted Sc pounds.
When three years old she lifted 100;
at seven she was able to pull up 1876.
This, the father explained, was &C
compIished by consistent, systematic
training that followed schedule Of
clockWork regularity and consisted of
sticking to it. The training was kept
up, and at IA years the girl showed
remarkable development.

of athletes. Her father, William, is
