why Kitten chases It's TaII.

The amateur scientist has discov-
cred why kitten chases its own tall.
The answer is simple-the kitten
doesn't know the tail belongs to him.
When a cat Is young. according to
the A. s, there Is little feeling In
It's tail. Unless the tail is stepped on
or pinched the kitten feels no sensa-
ton. Therefore. when he sees that
strange thing waggIng he just natur-
ally has To chase IL.
When he catches up with It and
bites 1t the kitten is surprised to find
he Is hurting himself. But IL takes
many bites - convince him that the
tail is actually part of his body.

WANT WILD HORSES KILLED
Settlers in State of Washington Offer Sport" to Those Who Are
 Inclined to It.

Youths who like adventure and heaps of excitement are advised to try hunting wild horses in the Okan- oga hills near the Canadian border of Washington. There are several thou sand untamable cayuses in this unsur- veyed region of steep hills and deep valleys, against which settlers on agri- cultural land have begun war of ex- termination.
 The wild steeds are troublesome, demolisning fences to eat and trample haystacks. The sta1lions entice away domesticated mares, and often large herds of horses chase COWS and sheep are mingled with these wild ones they quickly become outlaws.
 Before the present plan of shooting was adopted by ranchers. they tried corraing and shipping the captured steeds to Eastern horse markets. The expense anf danger of catching alive was found above possible profits. These wild broncos are vicious, and often, rather than submit to capture, dash their brains out by running pell nell into rocky lodges.
 One expedition during a month of wild horse stalking shot 120 animals. Only the skins were taken. Some of the wild stallions proved to be excel lent specimens, one brown and sorrel estimated at 200 pounds weight The mares seldom average more than 800 pounds.
 Where these horses range is faulty, oakland region between the Cascade and Rocky mountains; nat ural grass country. arid in summer, but the winters are mild, with light snowfall

Oldest of Nests.

A great colony of ospreys or fish hawks, built their nests at one time upon the property of various owners of land on an island near New York, a fact that enabled ornithologistS to gather some interesting data with re- spcct to the breeding habits of this bird.
 One ospreys nest was built upon a pile of old fence rails, only seven or eight feet from the ground It had been added to annually until its bulk of sticks. sods. decayed wood, sea weed and the like amounted to some thing like three carloads. Two other nests were built in cedar trees These, too, had heen occupied every year for many seasons, and had been increased by the addition of fresh material un- til they filled the whole upper parts of the trees

Browns, Forced to Employ Ruse, Surely Justified Under the Circumstances
 Confronting Them.

Mr. and Mrs Brown could not get house.
 Well" said Mrs. Brown (she was always the one who decided), well have to live in an apartment"
 The next day they struck it lucky. A furnished house was offered them, as the owner was called away to an They had practically signed an agree ment for twelve months, when by a slip of the tongue their children were mentioned.
 "Ghildren?" snapped the landlord. Nothing doing"
 And he brutally pushed Mir. and Mrs. Brown out of the house.
 The next day they had similar piece of luck. Another house had its owner deserting it for twelve months, and they were offered it for that period.
 Any chldren2" asked the landlord.
 "N-no,' faltered the Browns.
 And the landlord walked away, ap- parently satisfied. But he was back the next day, when the Browns off cially moved in,' accompanied by little old man with long gray hair and beard and little old woman with gray hair, hosnet and shawl.
 Satisfied that there were no children the landlord withdrew.
 Inside the house it was only the work of Il minute for Mrs. Brown to remove the gray wigs, bonnet, shawl, etc. from little Willie and Alice Brown.

HHow long have we been married JohnT Mary asked next day. "lt seems such long time, somehow, and yet l know that 1t can't really be an entire year as that calendar on the wall seems to show"
 John looked Ut the calendar. It was an old one of the preceding year.
 Tt Is June," said Mary, and we were married in June. Is 1t whole year, dearestW
 John dared not tell her that it was two years.
 Dearest she whispered, presently, Put your arms round me and let me tell you something Do you know, all the time was lying here this morn, ing, | have been thinking how unkind I have been to you, and how unhappy l have made you. l want you to for give me, John And l believe you can forgive me, because the memories of this year of our marriage have been so dear
 "It is you who must forgive me, dearest" said John, humbly.
 That night the doctor explained the situation to him.
 ''Your wife," he said, lis on the high road to recovery. Her mind Is as sound as it has eyer been. The brain trouble which l anticipated amounts simply to this: The whole of the past year has slipped out of her memory Has she had any great trouble that could account for thisY
 "Yes," answered John, humbly, and the doctor shot keen glance at him
 "Then that Is the explanation, he said. Her mind was troubled she wishes to forget the episode, whatever IL was. It is necessary for her to for. get 1t in order that she may get well Are you prepared to let her go through life with no memory of that one year?'
 Indeed. l am said Cleave, "espe- cially since you think 1t is for the best"
 "Yen have very charming wife, Mir. Cieave." he added. Guard her and cnre for her-and let the past bury it's dead"
 And John. kneeling at Mary's bed side, thanked God that his chance had come and renewed his vows, never more to be broken.
