cause It was so successful, was the
career of his tom cat Nicodemus, a
tenement house cat he purchased for
10 cents, and which he advertised as
the $4,000 cat, mot for sale.' In its
class, Nicodemus carried on first prize
at the show in Madison Square Gar
den.
When Hughes decided to enter his
cat, which he termed his Dublin
brindle cat Nicodemus," which he
valued at $4,000" he inquired IF
there would be any objection. because
Of its value, to having 1t cared for
during the show, by its regular at
tendant." There was no objection,
and when the show opened a negro,
probably Sam Smith, who had taken
part in a number Of his hoaxes, ap-
peared in a gorgeous livery. During
the time that there was crowd In
front Of Nicodemus, Smith looked out
carefully for the smallest comfort OF
the animal.
A well-known florist sent flowers ev-
| cry day; celebrated caterer furnished
the meals, at least the boxes and bas-
kets so indicated. Spectators spent
many minutes reading the long pedi-
gree Of Nicodemus. When the judges
looked over the flowers, the manicure
set, the impressive negro and the ped
igree, Nicodemus blinked at q blue
ribbon attached to his wicker cage.
And then somebody whispered 1t to
the newspapers, and Hughes and New
York chuckled. The flowers came
from a much cheaper place than the
box indicated; the food was the scraps
from the lunches Of his employees
During the holiday time, to tell an
other Of Mr.. Hughes's hoaxes, at one
Of Broadway's most crowded corners,
he had driven down Fifth avenue to
where the avenue intersected Broad
way, in a well appointed brougham.
At a leading jewelry store the driver
stopped.
A handsomely dressed woman en-
tered the jewelry house and reappear-
ed little later She carried box.
A negro in smart livery followed i'm

mad gallop.
The inference was that she was the
woman member of a gang Of thieves,
the negro was a stall and the man
rushing down the street spoiled the
game. But whether they were thiev-
es or not, 1t had its effect upon the
scruples Of the crowd. Bystanders
dashed here and there. picking up the
gems and the police had to turn in a
riot call.
When the sergeant in charge forced
his way into the jewelry store he was
informed that the young woman had
purchased nothing, and the store de-
tectives were sure that she had not
appropriated anything. The negro had
remained at the doorway.
Coming out Of the shop the sergeant
saw Hughes, nonchantly smoking a
cigar. He caught the hoax in mo-
ment and gave orders to his men to
"clear the street" The jewels picked
up by the crowd were glass and paste,
mounted on brass. The newspapers
next morning told how Hughes had

story runs that the writer was about

If gloves, spotted by rain or other
water, are allowed to dry there is no
hope for them. They are irreparably
ruined But if, while they are still
damp, they are kept on the hands and
rubbed gently with damp cloth, the
spots will disappear. There is no use
trying gasoline, benzine or anything
else for water spots. A cloth dampen-
ed in plain water, but not wet, is the
only remedy.

The big event of the year for the
students of the Hope High School oc-
CURED last Thursday evening when
the Tenth Annual Commencement Ex-
ercises were held in the local opera
house. Eleven members of the Glass
of 1915 received their diplomas and
took their parts in the program.
Seldom has there been such a gath
ering of people as were present when
the curtain raised showing the Glass
Of .'l5 seated on the stage with the
Faculty and the members of the Board
OF Education: The sight was pretty
one, the stage had been artistically
decorated in the class colors, brown
and pink, and on a streamer reaching
clear across the front appeared the
class motto, Impossible is Un-Amer-
ican.'' Numerous banners and pen
nants added to the. decorations. Each

showed wherein they have proved their
worth to mankind.
That Mrs. O. O.. Smiths vocal solo
was thoroughly appreciated by all

with an enchore which was also round
ly applauded.
James Cassell recently underwent
a psychological change and was trans

hense. He returned to this period
and in the Glass Prophecy gave q
graphic and interesting account of the
doings of the members of the class
in that future period.
The last number of the program
was the Valedictory-"Culture for
service''-by Miss Olga Langager,
Her subject was broad and required
careful handsling to bring out, in the
short time allotted to her, the impor.
tant phases in a. suitable manner, but
she proved equal to the task and pre-
sented the subject in most interest
ing manner. In her closing remarks,
on behalf of the class, she extended
their thanks to the Faculty, Board OF
Education and the people for their
cooperation and assistance given
during their school years and bade
them farewell, promising that they
ever would have warm spot in their
hearts for Hope High School.
Supt. L. A. Hsrdle, with . few we'll
