 The comedian is an expert tennis player and an exceedingly clever dancer.
 Of late he has taken up golf and is mastering the intricate points of the game. Motoring Is one of his chief hobbies, but he prefers to let his chauffeur do the driving.

When opportu- nifty permits, Chaplin likes nothing bet ter than to steal off for an hour or so for little walk by himself in the park

kIpiIna No Lover Of Cats.

Rudyard Kipling, says the London
Chronicle, is evidently no lover Of
cats, for the tale Of "The Cat Who
Walked by Himself" is based on the
latest hostility between the cat and
the man. He describes how the dog,
the horse and the cat in turn are at
tracted to the cave Of our ancestors
and become domesticated, but the cat
still retains his freedom Even though
he has fallen victim to the seduc-
tions Of the fireside, and agreed to ac-
cept the terms imposed by the man
and the dog, he never becomes really
friendly.
You remember the lines: HE will
kill mice and he will be kind to babies
when he is In the house. just as long
as they don't pull his tail too hard.
But . when night comes he is the
cat that walks by himself, and all
places are alike to him. Then he goes
out to the wet, wild woods, up the
wet, wild trees, or on the wet, wild
roofs waving his wild tail and walking

Russians think of the bear in a friend

MONGOOSE Is A PEST
WEsT INDIES SEEKING PLAN TO
GET RID OF IT.
Government Rewards Have Only Had
ae Effect OF Adding to Their
Number, and the Problem Has
Become Serious.

E'The mongoose pest is becoming
really serious; II is worse than ever
writes Trinidad correspondent to a
British paper.
Formerly, he says, the government
gave a substantial reward for each
body or tail produced, but no sub
stantial reduction resulted. Some en-
terprising peasants were suspected Of
making a successful minor industry
by breeding the mongoose, and in one
ward 1t was established that an inno-
cent warden had paid for the same
tails over and over again. AS soon
as bought they were buried. only to
be dug up and sold again In the morn
ing.
Another amusing, If expensive, thing
occurred in this connection. In two ad-
joining wards an experiment was
tried. At one they gave fiat rate
rs cents each-male or female. At
another the price was 81 for the fe-
male and so cents for the male.
After some time 1t dawned on the
official purchasers that there was
great preponderance Of females in the
latter ward. The simple peasant had
again proved one too many for the au.
thorities. Inquiry proved that all the
females caught in both wards were
sold in the one where the price was
raised, and all the males vice versa.
Then the government got tired of 1t,
and no further reward was given.
The mongoose, 1t may be recalled,
was imported into the West Indies IN
the seventies Of last century, to ex-
terminate the rats which ravaged the
cane fields. They did this most ef-
iectually, but, having destroyed the
rats, they turned their attention to
poultry and birds. Then lizards fell
a prey to their voracious appetites,
with the result that the insects in.
creased in an alarming extent. Final
ly the mongoose became as great a
pest there as rabbits are in Australia.

knowledge and Practice of Correct
Daily Habit The Great Essential.

Constipation is condition affect
ing all classes of people and can be
permanently relieved only by ac-
quiring habits of regularity.
The most natural time for the ell
iminative process is in the morning,
when both the muscular and nervous
systems are relaxed by sleep and
rest. When relief does not come
readily, it is an excellent plan to
take a mild laxative at bedtime. Ca
thartics and purgatives, that by the
violence Of their quick action shock
and disturb the system, should not
be employed.
An effective laxative remedy that
is very dependable, and which does
not grippe or otherwise disturb the
organs involved, is found in a COM
bination of simple laxative herbs
known as DR. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin that can be bought at the drug
store for fifty cents bottle.
