CATS MUST WEAR COLLARS.

Not long ago Munich decided to
impose a tax on cats, and now the
Swiss capital of Bene is thinking
of doing the same thing. Gar too
many pussiesl !" is the cry; and it is
high time that every cat, as in Mu-
Mich, should wear a collar, showing
to whom she belongs, or be taken up
as having no visible means Of sub
sistence, as a rogue and vagabond,
and put out of existence. It is COM
planned that in Berne and the sur
rounding district there is an alto
gether immoderate number Of cats,
and that they wage incessant war on
the none too numerous wild singing
birds, which are much priced in
Switzerland.

Phil Philbrick was the last person

Philbrick had been in the right,

easier.

with smile. ''What is it, q fresh

woman with seven small children
and runaway husband ?"
Grace smiled gratefully. It was
nice of him to get right down to
business without any personal pre-
amble. M
'It's Mrs. Bonnat," she ex-
planned. PhiIbrick lifted his eye
brows. 1t seemed scarcely likely
that so afiuent a matron should so
suddenly become an object of char
ity. Grace guessed his thoughts.
SIt's not for her." she corrected.

brick mentally thanked Mrs. Bon

thoughts. His expression was mere

" upon her fresh beauty.

DESERT WEAPONS.

There are, not counting the rifles
and carbines captured from the Ital-
ians nor the regulation arms dealt
out by the Turks, weapons of every
kind and age in the camp, writes the
Tripoli correspondent of the London
Express. 1 have seen within a few
hundred yards of one another a
chassepot rifle, a double barreled
shotgun, a two handed Crusaders
sword a magnificent piece of steel
over four feet long), a slender, in-
laid scimitar, a Moorish curved dag
ger and an automatic pistol.
There is no doubt that the desert
is supplying Turkey with soldiers as
efficient as it provided her with food
for them to eat. A wonderful place,
the desert, able to pour forth unex-
pected riches.

RIcHEs THRUsT UPON HIM
Though German Did Not Know IT, He
Had Identified Himself With
Nefarlous Gang.

Not very long ago a German or
ganist, who went to st. Petersburg
to live, had there an experience with
new cap that for a time almost
made him believe in the magic Of
the Teutonic fairy tales.
The organist bought the cap dur
ing his first day at the Russian capi-
tai, and wore il the next day when
he went out for a walk. On his re-
turn to his lodgings he was amazed
to find two gold purses in his pocket,
one Of which contained a sum equiv
alent to $50.
The next day, after his usual walk,
he found four purses in his outside
pocket, find that caused him to
doubt his senses. A third day, with
a similar profitable result, sent him
TO the chief Of police to tell his story.
The authorities detailed a detec-
tive to go with the German to the
tailor who made the cap. InvesH-
CATION disclosed the fact that it had
been constructed of an odd piece Of
English cloth brought in by stran-
ger. From it the tailor had made
fifteen identical caps to order. Hav-
ing a bit left, he had constructed
sixteenth cap, which was the one he
sold to the organist.
The detective then followed the
organist through the streets Of the
city, when the mystery was solved.
The cap, it appears, was the emblem
of a gang of pickpockets working CO.
operatively. The one who secured
purse dropped it into the pocket Of
the first confederate he saw. The
cap had identified the German, and
he had reaped the reward.
With this clew It was an easy mat
ter for the Russian authorities to
catch the whole gang Youths
