a Roast Of Beef to
the Good.

II was found necessary to do away
with the family cat because sne nau
developed germs and the doctor said
It was dangerous for the children. But
this cat was the children's particular
net. SO 1t was decided simply to have
her disappear, with no funeral or now
ers or Juvenile tears or a tombstone In
the back yard. Accordingly the animal
was chloroformed and then Mr.. Jones
did the remains up in neat parcel Oh
convenient shape and took them along
when he started for his place OF busi-
ness in the city In the morning, intend
ing to drop the package in the river
In the train before the river was
reached Mr.. Jones saw the package re-
posing in the rack above his head and
determined that was a good place 10
leave 1t. So when he started to get out
of the car he did not take the pack
age down.
Hey. there, Jones! You're leaving
your package" called out friend. SO
Jones turned back and got the pack
age.
On the boat he was surrounded by
number of friends and realized that TO
drop the bundle overheard In their
presence would require lot OF .expia-
nation and doubtless result In more or
less Joking at his expense. So he TOOK
the package to his Office with him. he
saw the impossibility Of disposing OF
II there and determined to get rid or
II on the boat during the trip back
home.
But there again he was surrounded
by his friends of the morning trip and
took the package to the train with him.
An attempt to get off the car without
1t resulted just as 1t had in the morn
ing. Mr.. Jones thus found himself
returning to his home with the bother
some bundle and he knew the children
would meet him on the front porch ana
insist on knowing what 1t was. Accord
ingly he made his way home across
the back lots, deposited the bundle on
the kitchen porch and finally got to
the front of the house without detec-
ton. Fifteen minutes after he had
seated himself on the front porch with
the solution of his great problem the
cook appeared.
Mrs. JONES'" said she, whats daf
extra roast Of beef out on the BACK
po'ch?"
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones both went back
Sure enough the bundle contained a
six-pound roast of beef.
1t only remains to say this story ID
true one. The thing happened as
here written.
Mr.. Jones is still wondering whether
the man with whom he somewhere ex-
changed bundles had much difficulty In
disposing of the remains OF the dead
cat.

It will sometimes happen that
