Careful estimates made on all con-

he talked. He said he had eight or
10 cats, who ate with him at the table.
Each had It's own place and plate, and
never by any chance made a mistake
and sat in another cats place or ate
off another cats plate. He was sure
that they had a heaven and a hell Of
their own, where they went after their
death, according to their deserts, and
that they had souls and co~nsciences.
All his cats had classical names, and
he talked to them as if they were hui
mai beings. He said they understood
every word he said. He also quoted
some of his conversation with them.
which must LAY sounded very funny:
cleopatra, have you been in the
drinking milk on the sly?,
Cleopatra puts her tail between her
legs and her ears back and looks most
guilty, and I know then what the cook
told me was true. Then again: Julius
Caesar, you were out extremely late
last night What were you doing? q He
said that when he made these re-
proaches Julius Caesar would get down
from his chair, and with his tail high
in the air would rub himself against his
legs as much as to say he would never
do 1t again.
" Depend upon It, he added, they
know everything we do and more.'"

A Famous Poet and His Cats

One night, during my visit to the
0 OF Napoleon III, at Compiegne."
writes Madame de Hegermann-Linden-
crone, in Harper's, IT was a little dis
mayed when ! was told that the famous
poet Theophile Gautier was to be my
dinner companion. I was awed at the
idea of such a neighbor, and feared /
should not be able to cope with the
occasion. Would he talk poetry to
me? and should I have to talk poetry
to him?
I tried to remember, during our
promenade down the hall, Longfellow's
Psalm of Life in case he should expect
anything in this line, and I tried 10 re-
call something he himself had written.
Il might have spared myself worry.
for from the time he sat down at the
table he talked of little else than cats
and dogs. He loves all animals II
liked him for that), and one could see
that he preferred them to any other
topic. In appearance I think he much
resemble Charles Dickens. I have only
seen the latter's photographs, but had
he not rather skinny hair brushed n
which way and a stringy beard? /
fancied him SO to myself. At any rate.
Gautfer looks like the Dickens oil the
photographs.
I can't remember all the nonsense

John Adams a Poor Loser.

John Adams, second president of the
United States, was not a good loser.
He wanted another term, and WORKED
hard for it. None of the candidates
received a majority of h electoral
votes, and h election was thrown in.
to the House OF Representatives. But
Adams had no chance there, for he was
third in the race, and only the two
having the highest number of electoral
votes could be voted for. Thus tho
choice lay between Jefferson and Burr,
and Jefferson won. Adams was Vera
much disgruntled and did everything
In his power to make things unpieas-
ant for his successor. He filled every
vacant office he could lay his hands
on, so as to leave as little patronage
as possible for Jefferson. Not only so,
but iii the closing hours OF his admin
lstration he and his party associates
created % new j~udgeships, for which
there was no necessity, and worked till
the stroke of naidnight on Mach 8,
filing out n signing commissions for
these midnight Judges" as they were
called.

reason that butter fell with such a

Forward Movement
Gaining Strength

Jacksonville. Fla. Nov. l.-lf
there has been any doubt that Flor
ida would welcome the Men and Re-
ligion Forward Movement. It may
be removed. Letters are being re-
ceiyed from men in all sections OF
the state In which information IL re-
auested az to the methods of proce-
dure and what will be necessary to
lOcalize the work.
The social survey of the state is
being perfected as rapidly as possi-
BILE. The work for Jacksonville will
be finished within few weeks. Ar
rangements are being made In other
towns for the collection of data as
to social and economic conditions
upon which the local campaigns will
be- based. Within a short time defin-
ite steps will be under way for the
urtberance of the cause In every
community of the state.
Leaders are more than gratif1ed
with the results that have been shown
in jacksonville. Meetings are held
at the noon hour at most OF the IN
dustries in and about the city once
each week. Good speakers talk to
the men for a brief period OF their
spiritual needs. Their methods are
simple and direct. Each meeting
sees some one or more men resolve
that they will improve their mode ol
living.
Each Sunday afternoon there are
big mass meetings at the Y. NJ. {. A
auditorium attended by men in ali
walks of life. Following each adj
dress there are straightforward pro-
fessions of a determination to live
closer to the church and its work
These decisions are made calml!
and not under stress of emotion
They are permanent.
