of our county and proved to them that
a negro had bought a cow from me-
pledged the COW until the money was
paid and gave me a note to that effect.
He then sold the COW and defied me as

the negro and the court found him
guilty and sentenced him to two months

THE LOST WAS FOUND!

On to the Place to la Concorde comes a pale-faced, wild-eyed man, with a chair. Mounting the chair, he folds his arms across his chest and breaks out into fixed, ghastly grin. As he stands motionless on the chair-always grinning-a crowd naturally assemblies; and at last a policeman appears.
 "What are you doing there?" de- mands the latter.
 Hush i! 1 am Mona Lisa," replies the man with the grin.
 ''Then at last we have found you," says the quick-witted policeman. "Come with me quickly. You must return immediately to the Louvre"
 "Yes, yes" assents the light-head- ed one, descending from the chair. "Take me home to the Louvre" ."- Paris Letter.

NEEDED CAT FOR H'> '.~-?Q
Writer of Cory Romance Found His Villains Had Killed Ore Man
 Seven Times.

He sat down with fountain pea, and of paper ream or two; a..d started a story of three bad men, V ho ran terrible coiners' den, and com- mitted a murder now and then, in the style that such fellows do.
 He threw in a sweet little love af- fair, a ghost and a smuggler's cave; i; a moated grange and missing heir, a lunatic with a vacant stare, a wicked-eyed woman with red-gold hair, who worshiped the hero brave
 But, alas. that the story went astray through an overwealth of crimes, for in chapter three, 'tis sad to say, three bad men did cruelty slay the hero bold in different way, no less than seven times.
 "'lo write," unused the youth, "is beyond my ken," as in blank despair he sat. "I've finished forever with those bad men. Farewell ghost, grange, and fountain pen; and if ever l start to write again my hero shall be a cat!"

CAT THAT GOES JOY RIDING
Gray Tabby on New York Farm Uses Big Leghorn Rooster for
 Her Mount.

A cat is supposed to be averse to any locomotion other than that af- forded by her own soft feet, but gray tabby on farm near Syracuse, N. Y, has communicated big Leg horn rooster on which to go joy rid ing. No one has taught the cat the trick, and she never tries to mount the back of any other fowl in the barnyard but the Leghorn. When puss feels like taking a ride around the premises she waits until the Leg horn passes, and leaps on his back, sitting there almost upright like human equestrian, hind feet hanging down each side of his wings and front paws firmly clasping the neck of the unhappy bird. At first the rooster was terrified and tried to run away with his strange burden, but the faster he ran the more the cling ing cat seemed to enjoy it, and Cham ticleer is now resigned to bear his tormentor around the yard until she is tired and slips off his back. He has to keep going, whether he wants to or not, as the cat promptly rakes him across the comb if he stands still. The only way the Leghorn can avoid the cat is by remaining on his perch in the henhouse, and some- times he will stay there all day, re- fusing to come down even fer his corn.

DOGS CRIES SAVE MASTER.

Charles Wood of Stamford, Conn.,, engaged in friendly wrestling bout and hurt his leg. He started to walk home, but fell and was unable to rise. A dog which accompanied him set up yelping that aroused people in nearby houses. Several of them opened their windows and threw things at the dog, but the faithful animal continued to bark until Sher- if Hawley Oefnger went out and followed him to the spot where Wood lay helpless. Oefnger sent Wood home in a carriage. He had a frac- tured leg and had lain in the street for several hours.

HE WAS A GOOD FOREVER,

1. R. Sherwood, Democratic repre-. sentative from Ohio, tells this story
 A man had for years employed a steady German workman. One day Jake came to him and asked to be excused from work the next day.
 Certainly, Jake," beamed the en- ployer. "What are you going to do?"
 'Vail," said Jake, slowly, q think l must go by mein wife's funeral. She dies yesterday"
 After the lapse of few weeks Jake again approached the boss for day off.
 "All right, Jake, but what are you going to do this timer"
 "Aber," said Jake, q go to make me, init mein fraulein, wedding"
 "What? So soon? Why it's only been three weeks since you buried your wife"
 "Ach'' replied Jake, q don't hold spite long. ."--Human Life.

IN OLD PHILADELPHIA MINT
Some Curious Discoveries Made In the Work of Removing the
 Buildings Foundation.

In removing the foundations of the coinage building of the old mint, at 37 and 39 North Seventh street, some quaint specimens of old-time building construction, including sev- eral curious vaults, were uncovered. The cellar in which the vaults were located was reached by heavy stone steps, supported by brick or stone arches, a method handed down from mediaeval times. One of the vaults in which bullion was stored consist ed of a vault within a vault, and was designed, it is said, at the time of the war of 1872 to conceal materials which could not be readily trans ported to other hiding places. Sev- eral small windows in the cellar were protected by heavy hand-wrought iron bars. These have been preserved and will be added, along with other relics, such as locks and hinges, to the collection in Independence hall. In digging out an old well in the yard a number of copper coins, bear ing the dates 1116 and 1918, were found, as well as quantity of scrap copper from which the coins had been cut. From old papers relating to a lawsuit, found by Frank H. Stewart, president of the company which owns the property, it was as- certained that five buildings were originally included in the old mint, all of them grouped around the coin age building. It is an historic fact that this old structure, which was the last of these buildings to be razed, was the first building of any description erected by authority of the United States congress.-Phila- delphia Record.

FEMALE, INDEPENDENCE.

The day of the woman is certainly at hand and she does about as she pleases and can go wherever she wants to on the face of the earth. This was illustrated recently by Miss Elizabeth Kendall, professor of his- tory at Wellesley college, who com pleted year of travel without any companion of her own sex. Begin ming on the Dalmatian coast, she went to Turkey and India, by sea to Canton and across China to Tibet. She is now in Picking and will cross Mongolia by the caravan route through the Gobi desert to the Trans Siberian railway near Lake Baikal and return to America by way of Europe.

DROWNING ACCIDENTS.
State Board of Health Issues Very
Seasonable LeafIet.

In view of the numerous drowning
accidents that have occurred in all
parts of the State during the past two
weeks the latest leafiet issued by the
State Board of Health contains very
timely instructions upon swimming TO

instructions, which are those recon-
mended by the United States Life
Saving Service. are as follows:
When you approach person
drowning in the water assure him
with q loud and firm voice that he is
safe.
Before jumping in to save him,
divest yourself as far and as ouickly
as possible of all clothes: tear them
off if necessary, but if there is not
time. loose at all events the foot OF
your drawers. II they are tied AZ II
