CATS PERPLEx NEW YORK
Advocates Of determination Say He
role Measures Are Necessary to
Avert Real Plague.

New York.-Whether New York
may intrust the disposal Of its gar
bage to four-footed scavengers in the
shape Of cats. corresponding n a way
to the dogs Of Constantinople, is the
most striking possibility in the contro-
versy now raging as to whether cats
are public necessity or a public
nuisance in this city demanding imme-
date recall.
According to the latest feline census
It is estimated that there are 100000
cats in this city, as compared to $4,000
dogs, and in view of the rapidly with
which the former are increasing In
numbers 1t Ia now proposed either to
license or exterminate them.
The proposal to license cats n at
tended with many difficulties and OBJ
jections. Aside from the diflculty OF
catching quarter of a million strays
and establishing their ownership. one
expert holds that such step would be
on par with licensing birds, white
mice or rabbits.
On the other hand, an expert Of con-
trary views paints a shocking picture
Of cat-ridden city in the near future
If steps are not taken to eliminate
these animals.
According to him, IL the thickly
populated districts the cats are really
wild animals. attacking chiefly the
odoriferous garbage can. A recent in
vestigation shows that these animals

Girl Wins Spelling Contest

Of the La Porte district school. was
given fourth prize. IS.
The state spelling match will be
held at Jefferson City at the conven-
ton of county school superintendents
in May. The county superintendents
have adopted various methods for
picking the best spoilers in their re
spective counties. In some the repre-
sentative has been named by simply
holding general match at the county
seat. In others each school has sent
out a champion to the county match.
The method here was to divide Macon
county into seven districts and have
the matches all over the county. Thus
the very best speller in each district
was obtained, and the class Saturday
was the acknowledged pick Of the
county.
The match lasted from ten In the
forenoon till $40 In the evening. Each
district champion has hosts OF friends
and relatives who came to see the
event.
Should Miss Rice win the state
spelling honors from Jefferson city.

officials Of the state declare that the
event has stirred up much sentiment
for the preservation Of game.
The herd was located at St. An
thony. Idaho. after having been driven
from the former grazing grounds In
Wyoming. In 1t was snow-white
heifer called Lady Whitebird, the most
graceful animal among the elk. The
leaders Of the herd were two big bulls
called Taft and Roosevelt. Unlike
those for whom they were named they
were able to get along in peace, and
stood together to repel outsiders.
They held constant station at the door
Of the car. and showed a desire to
fight When there was any sign Of dan
ger. 1t was with difficulty that they
were put into the cars on which they
were shipped on sledges to the forest
reserve.

COYOTES IN CHASE
Farmer and Daughter Have
Thrilling Ride in Kansas.
Pack Of Usually cowardly Animals Get
Scent Of Meat In Wagon and
Make Attack, but Are Eluded
In Flight.

Meade, Kan.-F. A Norris, his
daughter. Mrs. Beulah Robins, and
Mrs. w. o. Johnson. living In Gray
county. were chased by hungry coy
otes while driving to their home. 1t
was shortly after dark when they
started home by starlight. Shortly
after they crossed Crooked creek they
noticed several animals following
them. At first they believed the pur-
suers were dogs. Then others joined
the pack and the party found them
selves being chased by a pack Of hun
CRY prairie coyotes.
Ordinarily the Kansas coyotes are
cowardly and seldom venture to follow
human beings, but Mr.. Norris had a
lot Of fresh meat in the carriage, and
1t is probable the hungry wolves got
the scent Of this.
At first little attention was paid to
the wolves. but as the pack grew in
size and some Of the holder wolves
made dashes at the horses. the situa-
ton became more alarming.
Mr.. Norris was unarmed, but, sup
posing the coyotes could be easily
driven of, he stopped the team and
started back with a whip to lash the
animals. To his surprise, they showed
fight and jumped and snapped at him
IN such a vicious manner that he
hurried back to the carriage, whipped
up the team and made a wild dash for
the nearest settlement.
1t was In a sparsely settled section
Of southern Gray county. Mr.. Norris
succeeded In checking the pack for a
time, by throwing out to them the
meat which he was carrying. The
party finally reached home without
mishap further than a good scare.
1T is possible that they were To-
boes, or Texas timber wolves, which
are larger and fiercer than the coy
otes," said Mr.. Norris. Probably the
scent Of the fresh meat rendered the
hungry wolves more ferocious than
they otherwise would have been"

COOKING cHILDREN's GOODIES.
BY Martha MocuIIoeh Williams.


Lives there a child with appetite so
dead that his mouth never waters
when the word "Goody" is mentioned?
Goodies of all sorts are the especial
gastronomic delight of all children,
and let me add that goodies OF all
sorts can be made more digestible
and more delicious by being cooked
N paper bags.
It was an acute social observer who
wrote: "Housekeepers instinctively
add grease and sweetening when cook
ing for company" The same rule
ought to prevail in cooking for chill
dren- Food cannot be too rich for
young. thriving creatures, provided IL
is properly proportioned. Perfect
pound cake is meal in itself. ginger
bread as perfect, but little less salts
flying, while as for tea cakes Of the
right sort, crisp, sugary. melting, an
active healthy child may eat all it
chooses Of them. and be better for
the eating.
Make all these not merely good, but
attractive to the eye. Make also
sponge cake, raisin cake and many
manners Of fancy tartlets. Make them
individual-in that win lie the SUI
preme charm.
Begin by cutting q big bag length
wise into strips two inches wide.
Grease each strip half an inch from
one edge, and cut blunt notches into
the crease. three-quarters of an inch
apart From another bag, split open,
cut rounds or ovals. four to five inches
across. Fasten the notched strips to
these with small clips, letting the
notshes stand outside and clipping the
ends where they come together. Thus
you have fiat-bottomed individual
mould, to be filed, after buttering,
with anything you like. Filled, the
moulds are slid inside large lightly
creased bag. the bag set on a trivet.
and after sealing. baked In the oven
Let the cakes cool in the moulds,
then tear away the paper and frost
them or decorate them with candy or
nuts.
Here is Mammy's Pound Cake-and
better never went In anybody's mouth.
Take ten eggs. a pound OF -four, sifted
with two teaspoonfuls OF cream tartar
and one OF soda, a pound of sifted
sugar. three-Quafters of a pound Of
best butter, wineglass of brandy or
sherry. tablespoonful lemon extract.
Cream the butter very light with half
the sugar, add the other half to the
yolks OF the eggs after beating them
foamy light, and then beat again. Put
IN the butter and sugar. mix well. add
the liquor next, then half the -four,
putting in cupful at time. Fold In
next part OF the egg whites, which
should be beaten so stiff that they
win stick to the inverted dish. Add
the rest OF the flour, then the last of
the egg-white. Stir In the lemon ex-
tract last of all. Pour into thickly
buttered bags or very thin tin moulds
thickly buttered. Seal the loaded bags
and set on a trivet In the oven. Put

glimpse of the engine passing over the
body Of the child. When she returned
to consciousness five minutes later she
felt the soft pressure Of two little
hands on her cheeks and heard child
ish voice whispering In her ear:
"Margery wants a ride"
The little girl was uninjured. When
the nurse had pulled the sled in order
to clear the track ahead of the onrueh-
ing engine the child had fallen on, di.
rectly in the locomotives path. Her
small body, however, escaped the
fender and remained untouched by
wheels and crossbeams during the
quick passage Of the engine. The sled.
struck by the side OF the engine, was
demolished.
Little Margery, the prous owner OF
new frock, insisted on paying visit
to the picture man." At 2 o'clock
the nurse placed her on sled and
started for the photographers.
In spite Of the north wind the child
insisted that "horsie" run all the way,
so that the nurse. out Of breath, did
not notice the rapid approach of the
engine as she neared the Baltimore &
Ohio tracks; neither did she hear the
warning blast sounded by the en-
gineer.
Just as the sled was ON the tracks
the woman saw the black shadow Of
the approaching locomotive. The
quick jerk she gave the rope to bring
the little girl safely across the tracks
instead left the child directly between
the rails.
Parents OF the child said that but
for few scratches the little one e.
