A Cat or a Father.

In his Life of Thomas B. Reed"
Mr. Samuel w. Mccall tells this story
about the former speaker, who was an
unusually large man:
When his daughter Katherine, or
Kitty" as he called her, was little
girl she had cat to which she was
much devoted. One day the kitten was
sleeping In Reeds chair when he was
about to sit down. His daughter, in
horror, gave the chair a sudden pull to
save the cat from humiliation, and as
a result Mr.. Reed sat down heavily on
the floor. 1t was a rather serious hap
pening for a man Of his size, and even
a lesser man might easily have lost his
temper. But the only notice he took
of the matter was to say gravely after
he had got on his feet, kitty, remem-
Der that it is easier to get another cat
than another father"

more like the material that makes our
hair. 1t is after all different from eli

form the material for our nails and
therefore the health Of our finger nails

In good health or if YOU do not take
good care Of your skin your finger nails

If your blood is out of order the cells
that make the finger nails win not do
their work properly and then little
white spots will appear on the nails.
So you see those little white spots are
a sign of bad health.-Kansas City

FATE OF A PIRATE CREW.
Strange Case of the Nancy Brig and a
Hungry Shark.

In the museum at Kingston, Jamaica,
there are some tattered ships papers,
brown with age and salt water, and a
small tin canister. These articles at
test the truth of the strangest pirate
story ever told.
In 1899 the crew of the Nancy brig
were apparently honest traders, but did
some piracy now and then on the side
One day they found it necessary to go
into Kingston for supplies. Before do
ing SO they naturally removed all
traces Of their buccaneering trade.
Among other things they threw over
board this tin canister stuffed with pa
pers taken from ships they had sunk,
with comments written on the margin
by the pirate captain.
Later in the day a British frigate
was becalmed near the spot, and the
sailors spent their leisure catching
sharks. Presently they hauled up a
big fellow, cut him open and found the
tin case with the papers inside. These
were taken to the captain, who, as soon
as a breeze sprang up. sailed into
Kingston harbor, found the Nancy brig
there and had the crew tried, convict
ed and hanged IL chains at Port Royal.

if anything more important to insure
these against skidding than the rear

In designating something as "the

palladium moan?
The word is of heathen origin and
has a tigurative meaning. Palms was
the Greek name OF Minerva. the god
dess of wisdom, the helper and guide
Of man in all great undertakings. and
an image Of her set up in Il temple or
public place was supposed to be a
great protection for the community. It
was called a palladium. and one set
up mt Troy became an object OF strife
between Greeks and Trojans as prize
which would bring great and lasting
good luck to the holder. Both armies
claimed having got possession Of 1t,
but it did not bring permanent good
luck to either. In modern usage the
constitution Is often spoken of as ''the
palladium Of our liberties" and by an
other application. righteousness is
the sole palladium Of the nations" In
this sense 1t means preseryer or safe
