hatched, and thinking they were un-
fertile, she took out the eggs and put
one In each pocket Of her ulster, with
a view of taking them to the house.
On reaching the door she found her
neighbor waiting for her with the in
formation that It would take them
all their time to catch the train. The
lady accordingly ran into the house
for her umbrella, and, forgetting all
about the eggs, proceeded with all
haste to the station. On approaching
the ticket Office she put her hand in
her pocket TO get her purse when
she was shocked to find that she had
omitted to leave the eggs behind. Be
ing afraid that they might get broken
and spoil her dress, she throughout
the journey sat with hand in each
pocket holding the eggs. The heat Of
her hands seemed to provide all that
was necessary to complete the hatch
ing, and before her arrival at Edin-
burgh she had a healthy-ooking chick.

burg, then in possession OF the Con-
federates, writes w. r. Schaffer, Of
Volier Pa, in the National Tribune.
On arriving at that place we surprised
and captured the provost-marshal, To-
gether with an escort OF cavalry and
a train loaded with tobacco, ready
for shipment. The proYostmarshal
was found hiding IN an upstairs room
under a bed, but our boys found him.
After destroying the tobacco and
setting the place in repair, we re-
embarked for Fortress Monroe, meet
ing with some opposition on our way
down the river; but our gunboata
soon opened the way with shot and
shell among the surprised Johnnies,
who were not aware Of the large guns
on board. We soon arrived at Fort
ress Monroe, and went on to Norfolk
and Portsmouth and coaled up for
further orders. Our next move was
up the Potomac river to Kinsale
where we marched out in the forenoon
with strict orders to touch nothing
along the route. But after some hot
coffee for dinner we marched back to
our boats on the river, receiving or
ders to take anything eatable, and we
certainly did ourselves justice in the
eating line.
On our return trip we marched
through a strip Of thick woods with
heavy underbrush, where a band Of
Confederates lying in ambush struck

to prepare supper. Before embark

THEY ENJOY THE FRIED CAT

With a fine contempt for ancient
prejudice against tabby as an article
of diet, some schoolboys Of Allen coun-
ty. Ohio, have developed a taste for
fried cat. Their method Of getting the
feline live stock into condition is to
take a few plump young kittens, pen
them up and feed them on milk diet
for several weeks, before preparing
them for the cooking range. The meat
is described as firm, with a wild game
taste, and is said to be equallyas palat-
able as squirrel or rabbit. The young
sters are said to have played a game
on some of their elder friends recent
ly, whom they invited to a supper Of
rabbit, the supposed kill" Of a hunt
ing expedition. It was not until the
feast was over, and the guests were

DEMOCRACY OF ROOSEVELT

Here is a little story from the closed
and sealed cloisters of the state de-
partment, told by diplomats who have
recently visited Washington: At the
funeral of King Edward in London
there were diplomats from every ma
ton on earth, who mingled with the
kings and emperors. 1t will be recall
ed that Theodore Roosevelt was the
special envoy of this nation. At one
imposing ceremonial attending the bu-
rial of King Edward the former pres
ident was standing in row with sew
en- kings when Emperor William Of
Germany came in, receiving formal sal
utations from the group, including
Roosevelt. Then, in very informal
manner, Emperor William went over
to Roosevelt and remarked in English:
''Do you know / have come here an
hour ahead of time in order to have
that hour in conversation with you?"
This was certainly a compliment, COM
ing from a sovereign, and the other
crowned heads were startled to hear
the former president reply: Indeed,
i thank you very much, but / hope

HURT DOG CALLS ON DOCTOR

Exceptional sagacity on the part OF
dog was shown recently by a bull
terrier named Tobe, owned by Henry
Hotchkiss Of Topeka, Kan. Tobe loves
a fight, and has had to be treated sew
eral times by the veterinary surgeon
as a result Of his fondness for scrap,
The other week he was again in trou
BILE, and retired from the battle with
a broken leg Instead Of running
home, Tobe limped straight to the es'
tablishment of the dog physician, who
him as an old patient, and
at once attended to the wounded limb.
AS a result the intelligent animal is
now making good progress, with its
leg in splints.

"A Cure for Dignity
By LAWRENCE ALFRED CLAY


Because Harold Speed was twenty
four years old, and because Miss Ger
trude Rayburn was only nineteen;
because he was rather prim and pre-
else, and she was sort OF tomboy;
because he was in love with her and
because of several other reasons, he
had come to speak Of her as Little
Miss Chit,
She was saucy and impudent and
Independent, and she was very de-
mure and deceitful and ingenious
If she loved him in return she wasn't
going to let him know 1t until she
got good and ready. She resented
his primness and preciseness and the
rebukes he offered
When her mother talked to her
about her wicked ways she elevated
her chittish chin and replied
And who is Harold to boss me.
He is only bit older than / am,
though he acts like an old deacon.
I'm going to keep at him until he
drops that awful dignity and acts as
any other young man would"
"He has asked you to marry him,
presume?' quened the mother.
yes, he has, and how did he do
II? We were sitting in the summer
house one evening, and l was chew
ing gum. 1t was a beautiful night
The crickets were singing, and the
night breeze was rustling the big will
low. 1t was just the incest night in
the world TO talk love, but did he
talk It? No, mamma. After we had
sat there like two stupids for a long
half hour and just as ] was expect
ing him to drop to his knees and
propose, he said
DO you think we ought to keep a
cat when we are marriedg
why, mamma | was so mad that
l almost swallowed my gum! Did
you ever hear the like?'
Harold is a very steady young
man, and you are hoity-toity," re-
piled the mother.

he had driven back the enemy, he de.

Of his countrys brave ally, Jacob Won

upon the field, and having sat down

moment, while they were in the very

are driven against it by the furious
gales that sweep the coast of Long

to a thickness not much greater than
paper but the oak timbers are sound.

days of the United States life-saving

man off his pedestal if he continues
to hang around here. If he thinks I'm
going 10 walk a chalkline for him
he's very much mistaken"
Harold was expected that very eve
ming, and he arrived on time-not a
minute too soon nor a minute TOO
late. The butler waved him into the
parlor, according to program, and
according to further program he
expected to find Miss Gertrude sitting
bolt upright in her chair as she waited
his appearance. But she wasn't in
chair at all. She was sitting on the
floor like girl of ten, and moreover
she was making a rag doll. She
looked for Mr. Speed to exclaim. He
might even turn and leave the house.
He did nothing of the kind. He sim
ply said:
Sorry, Miss Chit that you haven't
another little girl to play with. Ex-
cuse me, please, while look at the
latest magazine"
"Oh, sure! Wish grandma was
home to talk with you!"
And for a long hour she sat there
and talked to her doll and sung to
herself, but she couldn't even rufle
the conservative young man. He
seemed quietly to enjoy the situation
On another occasion he began to
talk politics as soon as he entered
her presence, and after standing it
for half an hour she yawned and
asked if he had any objection to 60
ing out and buying a quart of pea
nuts to roast in the kitchen. She
hoped he would flush up and even
swear, but he disappointed her. He
remained cool and calm and an
swered that he hoped her frivolity
would entirely disappear some day.
