NINE TRAMP CATS.
Get Free Lunch and Spoil Kettle
Of Soup-A True Story With a
Moral.

Everyb ody has heard that a cat has
nine lives. !" but nine cats having a
fondness for soup and spelling FAM
lily dinner, is quite another story. and
thereby hangs a tale.
One day this week lady In town,
thrifty housewife, who does her
own cuisine work, decided to have
vegetable soup for luncheon. II is an
easy dish, does not need watching,
and when callers came at the un-
seemly hour of noon. she left the
kitchen and the soup to entertain
them.
In the meantime one of the chill
dren came home from school, and had
to be provided with luncheon. The
lady excused herself, left the living
room and gave the child some soup
and crackers. Shortly after hubby
straved along and wanted his mid
day meal, and be was similarly served,
the callers still tarrying.
smelling the soup and being made
aware ii was lunch hour, the visitors
made excuse TO leave. but the lady
prevailed upon them to stay, saying
she had provided soup for luncheon
and il needed no care, and she was
free to entertain the callers.
Husband nnished his meal and left
by thu rear exit, at the same time
leaving the kitchen door open. The
savory pot of soup was too much for
the olfactories of some of the tramp
cats in the neighborhd. who wander
ed in through the Jpen door, and when
the company had gone and the mis-
tress of the house went to refresh
herself with plate of soup, she was
Mortified TO behold nine (9l cats (none
of them her own with their heads in
the kettle of soup, each tapping
away to their hearts content.
1t goes without saying that the
lady was obliged to scare up a meal
of toast and tea where vegetable soup
was intended.
oral-Callers should not call at
lunch hour.

OH YOU "WATAH MILLIONp'
An Oft Told Tale Of a Farmer, a Gun
and Water Melon Patch.

A story with some local interest
is going the rounds about two local
young men and an Anne Arundel
farmer.
The aforesaid young men are good
church members, but in their deca-
logue water melons are not included
among things "Thou shalt not
steal. +" Accordingly, las the story
goes) after a long walk of some ten
miles, or more, the young men
passed a water melon patch along the
road, and forthwith betook them
selves to refresh their thirst and
hunger by partaking of a luscious
melon, which they enjoyed.
Having finished the melon and cast
aside the rind, there doomed up before
the young men the farmer and gun.
Both surprised and astounded, the
fears of the Sunday-school boys were
Gained when the sturdy farmer ex-
claimed: "I'm not going to shoot. "
He further stated that he wanted
each to produce one dollar for the
water melon, but as there was only
so cents forthcoming from one Of the
twain, the farmer let them go with
the promise that if they "did it
again" he would have them arres ted.
The farmer ventured the Informal
tion that he had made $25 that Sum
day by just such holdups as this one,
and the young mel went on their
way, wiser but more sorrowful, yet
believing that stealing watermelons
is profitable business FOR at least
one Anne Aundel farmer.

WORDS FROM HOME.
Statement That May be Investigat.
ed Testimony Of Annapolis
Citizens.

When an Annapolis citizen comes
to the front. telling his friends and
neighbors of his experience, you
can rely on his sincerity. The state
ments of people residing in far
away places do not command your
confidence. Home endorsement is
the kind that backs Doan's Kidney
Pills. Such testimony is convincing.
Investigation proves it true. Below
is statement of an Annapolis resi-
dent. No stronger proof of merit
can be had.
Mrs. Charles Ziehlke, 90 West
street, Annapolis, Nd, says 81 had
a great deal of trouble from back
and kidneys. My back panied almost
constantly. and often / was dizzy and
nervous. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills
advertised, / obtained supply at

WANTS THE BONES
3lOO Pounds Taken From
Garbage in Three Days,
Health Board Hears

Garbage and garbage collectors
proved to be the main subject for con-
sideration at the meeting Of the Board
of Health yesterday, and after read
ing complaints from housekeepers
that their garbage had not been col
lected for periods ranging from one
TO three weeks, it was decided to have
the secretary write to the contractors
telling them the collections would
have to be improved.
Following the filing of complaints
from the company having the contract
to dispose of the garbage, that the
collectors were picking bones and ottal
from poultry and selling il, a COM
mittee was appointed last week to
watch the men. This committee,
through Dr. H. A. Cleaver. submitted
its report which showed that the
drivers OF the teams from Monday,
December IS. to Thursday, December
21. had sold or made way with 3,lOO
pounds Of bones. The report gave The
number of carts and the number OF
times they stopped at James Finan's
iunk shop. at Front and Madison
streets One collector, it was stated,
did not sell to the man. but stored his
homes at No. 614 Christiana street.
According TO a conversation with
one Of the collectors it was stated that
when the local saloons furnished
lunch the bones from the saloons on
one district netted the collectors Sl.0O
or more a day.
After some discussion It was agreed
that the contractors be notified that
as the contract with the Crematory
Company and the city stated that all
refuse be delivered to them, the prac-
tice must stop.

TRI-STATERS
MEET TODAY
Salary Limit Rules and Cir
cult Moke-Up to be De-
Cided on
MAY DROP THE
INDIVIDUAL LIMIT

There is every indication that the
Tri-State League will go back to the
uon-optional agreement rule when the
directors hold their annual session IN
Harrisburg this afternoon and even
Ing. Several clubs have announced
their intention of voting to rescind the
action taken at the last meeting, which
permitted the acceptance of "farmed"
players from big league teams. 1t is
said that President Carpenter favors
the non-optional agreement, ana if
this be true his influence will go a
long way toward deciding the ques-
ton. Among the club representatives
who will fight for the change will be
President Free, Of York, and Presi-
dent Let's, of Trenton.
The league meeting will be held at
the Hotel Columbus, beginning at
$3.50 o. m, and will continue until all
the business has been cleared up.
Uusually the session extends far into
the night and in this instance, be-
cause Of there being so much to be
considered, may not conclude until
early Wednesday morning. There are
Indications now that every one Of the
1911 teams will return to the fold,
but how long they will then remain is
question that is worrying the Of
fcers and others connected with the
league.
Many fans are of the opinion that
the Johnstown and Altoona directors
IN declining to go back is only a ruse
to get their franchise secure and
that later they will sell out to some
other Pennsylvania cities. Allentown,
It is stated, will purchase either one
of the clubs and has the money to pay
for It, too However, the dope along
this line may all go wrong, for the
directors of the two western clubs may
decide to remain in the game for an
other season at least. Both clubs
have cleared away their debts, as
Obliged, and will attend the meeting
today in a first class financial condi-
ton. If Allentown does not land IN
the Tri-State the fans may purchase
the Troy franchise in the New YORK
State League
At the meeting Of the league the
club and individual salary limit Will
be taken up and discussed. There is
every expectation among the managers
that the individual limit of Sl15 pei
month will be abolished and the teams
allowed to pay what they choose. sc
long as the whole does not exceed the
amount decided upon as club limit
This will enable al teams to secure
few really first class men. Iher
another matter will be the filing of the
bonds. Each club in the league mus
file a bond today of $4,000 to show
good faith. This every one OF th'
prospective teams viii do.
