Indianapolis teacher to spend a year
in digging out his identity.
For months she had heard a fellow
teacher speak Of her brother-inlaw,
Mr.. Yorp. During the recent via
duct trouble his opinions on the mat
ter were quoted frequently. For
months this teacher had also read Of
Mr.. Jeup, the city engineer.
Finally, when the viaduct troubles
had reached their climax, she scanned
the papers eagerly every evening to
see how much longer she would have
to walk across. Engineer Jeup held
exactly the opinions of Mr.. Yorp.
Suddenly light burst on her befud'

er friend, she asked eagerly, How

spell his name?"
"Jeup," came the answer with a
mild look of surprise.

THIS TABBY is REAL FISHER
Maryland Cat Wades Boldly Into
Stream in Search of Its
Prey.

Hancock, Mo-, has a cat that fishes.
Different from felines that have been
known to stand on the bank and try
to grab fish with their claws, this tab
by wades boldly amidstream and
awaits prey.
Yesterday the cat was fishing in the
little creek that runs through Han
cock near the old Eastern or Gilleece
hotel property, emptying into the Po-
tomac through a culvert under the ca
nal at that point. The cat stood mo-
tionless for several minutes, and then
bounced on a fish with both paws.
The fish jumped several feet out of the
water, it's body shimmering in the sun
light. 1t was then readily caught by
the cat, which waded to the shore with
it's dinner in its mouth. This particu-
lar tabby has obtained quite a repu-
tation as a fisher.

legs served on toast make an excellent

The men enjoy the sport Of catching
the frogs with bits of meat tied to the

providing a welcome addition to the
cuisine, helps to reduce the strength Of
