that | was the only man in America
who could be imposed upon to the ex-
tent of sacrificing his life for a cat"
Clad in his storm garments he made
his way out of a rear door and plow-
ed through the snow to ladder that
leaned against the ewes of the big
barn. The rains of the fall had
frozen about its lower end but, after
much tugging, he tipped 1t away from
the building and let Its own weight
pry it loose as it swung outward and
came down among the drifts. John
balanced the ladder as we'll as he
could on his shoulders and started
down the highway toward the little
group of elms in the valley. He
could make them out well enough,
but clouds obscured the moon and he
could see no cat. More than ready
to turn home, he was about To do so
when a plaintive NEW struck down
upon his frosty ears. Kitty was aloft
somewhere and he lost no time in
setting his ladder against the tree
from which the sound seemed to-
come. Up he went to the top round
but only to find Ire was still ten feet
from the lowest branches. Dismay-
ed at the situation, he paused to re-
fleet, making the discovery that he
was quite on the wrong track for
Kitty was in another tree Down he
went and with all the speed possible,
relocated his ladder, this time with
out fear of mistake. With numb
fingers and body chilled past the pink

way upward once more He had
grown to hope now that the ladder
would not reach the branches, but 1t
did and he had no excuse for backing
out. He stepped to the lowest limb,
chung to another for support and
looked for the cat that had caused
him so much trouble. There she

notice her at first. 1t was Bob, the
Harmons' old cat. He was at home
in two minutes after you dropped
him out of the tree and Joe has since
admitted over the phone that he knew
twas his cat all the time"
The episode nearly wrecked the
friendship of the two families. but at
last better sense prevailed and visits
and calls were resumed. Cats, elm
trees and winter nights were, how
ever. excluded from their conversa-
ton for many months. At the end of
year the Harmons commenced to
tell the story as a joke and that view
of it was finally accepted in the Bar
ton home. Both men agreed, never
theless, and to their decision no YER
bal dissent was made, that. should
they ever again have occasion to res
cue a cat from treetop, on a winter
night, gun and not a ladder would
be the principal equipment of the ex-
petition.

Planting Sugar Cane.

Sugar cane is planted, not sown. A
small piece of the cane, long enough
to include two or three Of the rings,
or nodes, is laid lengthwise, or stuck
in a slanting direction, along a fur
row which runs the length OF the
field. In some sections the primitive
fashion of planting in holes is still en-
ployed. When the trench is planted
the pieces OF cane are lightly covered
with earth. In a few weeks they show
growth above the ground, the germ
buds at the rings having begun to
shoot out in the form Of young cane,
the ring having at the same time
thrown out rootlets into the soil. The
parallel trenches are made far enough
apart, say at least three feet. to en-
able the workers, when the wide
spreading canes are getting ripe. to
go between the rows and remove the
dying leaves which burden the ripen-
ing cane, thereby enabling the naked
cane to mature faster.

Pausing to listen, he heard the
young lady trying to play one of Cho

Paderewski walked up to the house
and knocked. Miss Jones came to the
door and recognized him at once. De

down and played the nocturhe as only
Paderewski can, afterward spending
an hour in correcting her mistakes

NO MORE REBATES

One David Lamar, a notorious Wall
street operator, has been charging for
Ia year or more that certain railroads
throughout the country had been CIV
ing rebates to the United States Steel
corporation amounting to millions Of
dollars. The interstate commerce COM
mission subp0enaed Lamar and made q
thorough investigation Of the charges.
The commission reports that Lamar
was in possession of no information
worthy Of credence not already known
and that he had only repeated unsup-
ported rumors. The report states fur

records Of railroads It has reason TO
believe that there is no basis for the
