CAT HELPS FIND THE LEAK
~Ingenius Plumber Demonstrates Feline,
With Aid of CatnIp, Is Worth
Having Around.

'There are more ways than one to
kill a cat" says an old proverb, and
"there are more ways than one to use
a cat" is the new reading. Here is an
illustration:
A plumber was called upon to locate
q supposed leak in a ten-story tene-
ment house. After a days c%ogitation
and sundry proftless sOundings and
s~nifings, he finally hit upon a plan.
He went to a drug store and bought 10
cents worth of fluid extract of valerian
commonly called catnip. Then he
took the elevator TO the top floor and
poured the vahrfan diluted with water
down the drain. Half an hour later he
took a cat and visited each floor In
turn.
The cat exhibited no interest until a
room In the seventh story was reached.
Then, with a bound, 1t sprang from the
plumbers arms and began to paw the
wall, mewing loudly. A hole was made
In the wall, and there, sure enough,
was the leak.
That plumber deserves to make a
fortune from his ingenuity.

EULoGIzES THE WRONG DOG
EIoquenee of Tsetful Attorney Credited
to Newspaper Story and He
Loses His Case.

An old man was arrested for beat
ing his wife. Application was made
TO have him put under a peace bond
Thinking the case too small for him
to bother with, relates Case and Com
ment, the county attorney asked Judge
Albert ID. Norton, then a young law
yer, to appear for the state at the
trial. An attorney from Macon-a
man who had quite a reputation as q
"pleader"-went over to defend the old
man. Curled In front Of the defendant
was a yellow dog. Vests "Eulogy OF
the Dog" had recently appeared In
some paper. 1t was not nearly SO ia
mlliar then as 1t has since become
When the orator from Macon saw the
yellow dog at the old mans feet he re-
called Senator Vests speech, and was
alive to the opportunity for an enec-
tive appeal to the jury.
Gentlemen" and he indicated the
mongrel, "when all other friends de-
sert the dog remains. II fortune
drives the master forth an outcast In
the world, friendless and homeless, the
faithful dog asks nc higher privilege
than that Of accompanying to guard
against danger, to fight against
his enemies; and when the last
scene Of all comes, and when death
takes the master in its embrace, and
his body is laid away in the cold
ground, no matter If all other friends
pursue their way, there by his grave
side will be the noble dog he found, his
head between his paws, his eyes sad,
but open in alert watchfulness, faith
full and true even in DEATH"
So well was it delivered some of the
jurymen cried. All looked toward the
aged defendant alphabetically. 1t is
said that even the dogs eyes were
moist. 1t was pretty clear the defend
ants lawyer had things coming his
way; but Norton had the windup, and
during the noon recess he hunted up
a paper which had the dog speech in
It. This he produced and read to the
jury in the afternoon, word for word
as opposing counsel reclted, and which
the jury thought was original.
"You see, gentlemen of the jury"
said Norton, "Senator Vest was talking
about another dog altogether. He
never heard of this yellow curl"
The jury found the defendant guilty.

Knights of Palaor Entertain With Beautiful CorniOal Ball

Having been chosen by Palafox
VIII, Is. T. McAdam) to reign with
him over the beautiful ball given by
the Knights of Palafox last evening
at the K. of C. hall, Miss Naomi Mar

love-knots of blue, the long court
train of white satin, the gift of the
Knights of Palafox, sweeping from
the shoulders of the lovely gown
Against her dark hair rested the gold
crown, and she carried an exquisite
arm bouquet of white carnations tied
with white tulle, the gift of the king.
Very regal was his royal highness
in his costume of white and gold,
with his crown and sceptre set with
brilliants. His royal mantle was
borne by two small and handsome
pages, also in white and gold, Marco
White, Jr., and John Marion Roch,
also in white and gold, to match the
colors of the court.
The court formed a bevy of I'M

Exquisite arm bouquets of carna-
tons completed these lovely cos
tunes.
The setting given the ball was one
Of great beauty, making a most eff
fective background for the maskers
and the lovely evening gowns worn
by their guests.
Overhead hundreds of carnival
streamers had been carried, every
color of the rainbow having been
used to make a strikingly beautiful
overhead decoration. On either side
of the long ball room flowers seemed
to blossom in all their summer love-
illness, for the scene was sylvan in
every detail, from the throne, which
was surrounded by palms and pines
and other native trees, the floral
kingdom seeming to have contributed
its every blossom to make the scene
one of charm and loneliness.
Especially artistic was the entrance
of the maskers, many of whom were
CARRIED in woodland costumes, others
wearing the fantastic regalia of the
motley, here knights from the land
of romance, there courtiers in silks
and satins, creating a background Of
wonderful beauty for the king and
his court.
