Cat Vhc;e Decease Is Mourned Sa'd to Have. Been Marvel cf Ft! in 5 Ir.telliicnce. Ginger is dead. Ginger was early a cat a fine, Ids Persian cat but it was worth one's velule to have known him. He did f onto things that even human beings e.o often neglect to do be -said bis prayers . every night and he never stayed out late nor disturbed the -e-iahborhood by singing "We won't - h m till morning'" lie was a rei.'l' eat. and If there is a cat 1 'V, Ginger went straight to it.

Hera is a story- with a moral for telephone users., CMon. James Duff -of Canada was in the habit of shouting Into the receiver, and one - day Sir James Whitney, who was in his office nearby, asked what all the racket was about. "It is Mr. Duff, sir." -replied the clerk. "He is talking with his wife up In Simeoe county." "lie is, eh?" said Sir James. "Well, why on earth doesn't he telephone her, Instead, of yelling across the province like that?" Boston Transcript. And She Didn't Know. Little Girl (looking -over newspaper fidverllsement) Mamma, why do all these boarding bouses object to children? Fond Mother I'm sure I don't know. Go end see what the baby is howling a' eat, and tell Johnny to stop throwing things at people in the street, and make George and Kate stop fjghtinf, and tell Dick If he doesn't stop banging that drum so hard I'll take It awsy from him. What Shs Desired. "Why, Norah," said her mistress, "how nice you look In your now drea? and hat. I hono you will meet all your friends this afternoon so that they may you in your fine clothes." "Me friend?, mum?"' returned Nornh. "Wkr.t'll I be wait In to see th-m for? Sure, I don't care to make ma frieiKlg jealou. It's ma enemies I want to meet when I'm dressed up."Boston Transcript.
