A Problem in Fur.
I
BY BLANCHE ELIZABETH WADE.
.Copyright, by Dally Story Pub. Co.)
Gordon hated cats. To him the
r.ame cat meant not a round, soft, silky
ball, with a contented purr somewhere
inside, but a gaunt, prowling creature
generally cne-eyed and scalloped
eared, and more often with three
sound legs, than with four; a monster
haunting backyard fences; a freak giv
ins rent to unearthly shrieks so badly
aimed at the unoffending moon that in
stead they pierce the innermost depths
of poor sensitive mortal souls and stir
up emotions better not described.
Therefore, Gordon did not jump for
joy after he had read the following let
ter from a wealthy aunt:
"My Dear Nephew: While the de
scription you gave of your new studio
charmed me, I observed that you lack
one thing, and that an important one."
("Money! Always did, my dear aunt.")
"That to which I refer, is indispen
sable to every pretentious studio."
("And to every unpretentious purse
aunt.") "No studio, my dear nephew,
should be without a " and here,
Gordon was seized with one of the
afore-mentioned better-not -described
emotions, for the word he read was
cat! "A cat," went on the letter, "is
as necessary to an artist's success as is
L!s bnsh; indeed. I may say, the cat
adds a tone," ("Better say a fiendish
noise, aunt."), "which is not to be ob
tained by mere pictures and furnish
ings. Now, I do not mean that I think
you ought to take in an ordinary ani
mal; better none at all, than any
common type. Knowing you are not
so placed as to be able to make for
yourself a good selection. I have done
it for you, and am now sending you a
most beautiful creature a full-blooded
Angora, registered as John Alden, and
aged three months. He is valued at
fifteen dollars, but as he grows older
will increase in worth. Let me know
if he arrives safely, and what you
think of him; also, do not fail to send
me occasional reports of him."
Then followed several pages of di
rections for the care of Angora cats,
proper foods, etc., and Gordon dropped
the letter with a disheartened sigh.
The next day John Alden arrived.
At sight of him Gordon did not shud
der as he had fully intended to do. In
stead he timidly stroked the long, yel
low fur and laughed when this act
fctarted a spinning-wheel in John Al
den's interior. Then and there, of his
own accord, with no thought of doing
so for the sake of his own interests in
pleasing a rich relative, Ernest Gordon
mentally swore to do the right thing
by his new possession, and when purrs
gave place to hungry mews, hastened
to his small inner room, procured a
saucepan, lighted his oil-stove, and
heated milk according to his aunt's ad
vice. John ..lden was duly introduced to
the elevator boy and to the night
watchman, each of whom gladly took
the oath of allegiance to his furry
highness. Thus was his installation
accomplished, his reign begun.
"Your generous gift came safely."
wrote Gordon to his aunt. "I like him
immensely and appreciate your kind
interest in making the success of my
new studio complete. I have no doubt
my Angora friend and I will get on
famously together."
His lordship was not long in estab
lishing himself as master of the studio.
Disdaining the comfortable basket
Gordon had arranged for him, he care
fully selected the most expensive fab
rics whereon to compose his dainty
limbs; scorning the spool and string
provided for his amusement, he tore
up and down velvet curtains and por
tieres. He whisked as lightly as a
feather, back and forth, in and out,
among costly vases and marbles, an 1
though Gordon sometimes drew lon
breaths, he said nothing.
A week passed, during which John
Alden met many enthusiastic admirers,
chief among whom was Miss Isabel
Graham, who was sitting for her por
trait.
"How thoughtful of your aunt!" the
young lady exclaimed at first sight of
the cat. "Mr. Gordon, you must be
proud to own that dear creature," and
Gordon was not wicked enough to ask
which.
Before the second week was over
John Allen signified his determination
to see something of out-door life, and
fought so frantically at the window
screens that Gordon took him to the
bearding- lace, where there was a
"A cat!"
strip of yard. This was too narrow to
suit His Majesty for more than "a day,
and as the landlady could not watch
him all of the time, he stole out and
ought the acquaintance of the alley
cats. Gordon gazed sadly at the dirty,
tangled fur, as Puss strolled in wear
ily one evening. Once more His High
ness took up bis abode at the studio.
"He ought to be brushed," sa!J Miss
Graham on the following morning, as
she tried to separate the snarled locks.
Gordon bought a soft brush and
worked two hours at the fur. While
thus engaged he made a startling dis
covery. ' The next day while showing Miss
Graham some Puritan studies before
beginning work on the portrait, he ex
claimed in a tragic tone:
0, Miss Graham, did you know
er that that John Alden had fleas?"
"Mr. Gordon!" cried she in a shocked
vc-ice. "Did you Intend that as a joke?
O." suddently remembering. "Of
course. I tad forgotten. You mean
the cat!"
"Most certainly," returned Gorilon,
emphatically.
"Well, in that case, I can tell rou
what to do. Wash him with tar fcjap
or with dog soap and comb them out
with a fine comb."
Gordon purchased three combs be
fore he found one that would net
break. He bought three different
kinds of E0?.p, and returning to John
Alden he combed, he bathed, lie ruL'bed
and then combed again. At the end
cf the tussle John Aiden lay snugly
sleeping under a warm drapery high
on a bookcase and Gordon dressed his
own torn and bleeding hands and cap-

tured two live fleas on his coatEleeve.
He has since come to believe that those
insects flourish on strong soapsuds, for
after this performance John Alden did
little but scratch and dig at his poor,
tormented skin. He lost his appetite
and grew thin. Miss Graham advised
more combing and warm catnip tea.
Gordon bought catnip at the druggist's.
He bought also a walnut wash recom
mended ty the chemist and a bottle of
cat tonic. Still the fleas increased and
John Alden diminished.
Gordon wrote to his aunt. "Take
him to a veterinary surgeon," advised
she, "for the fleas will kill the cat if
not seen to at once."
"What a pity!" said Miss Graham,
when she heard this. "Now, I think
that entirely unnecessary, l'oor Pussy
v.ould die there. If you will trust him
to me I will take him home and my
mother will doctor him up for you. We
live out of town in the summer, you
know, and there is lots of delicious
grass lor him to roam over and no cats
in the neighborhood. We will watch
him closely and he won't run away.
Besides, there are oceans of fresh cat
nip growing about the place, and home
dried catnip is different from that com
pressed stuff you bought. Then, too
you you might come often, you know,
to to see how he was getting on."
John Alden went to the country. A
month later a letter went to the aunt.
"You will be glad," wrote Gordon,
"to hear that John Alden is entirely
rid of fleas, eats like a bear, and is
more beautiful than ever. You will be
surprised to hear that I have found
that a cat does not add .the finishing
grace to a studio. There is something
else. That to which I refer is a wife
who knows how to take care of the cat
and of the artist. As you are not so
placed as to make this selection for
mo, I have done so myself or rather
John Alden has at last spoken for me
as well as for himself to the fair Pris
cilla. Her name Is Isabel Graham."

COLORADO'S FIRST GOLD.
How the Discovery of the Preelom
Metal WaV Marie.
On May 8, 1859. as stated in Fossetfs
"Colorado (1876). John Gregory, a
prospector, climbed the hill into what
is still known as Gregory Gulch (mid
way between the present Central City
and Black Hawk), scraped away the
grass and leaves, filled his gold pan
with dirt and took it down to the
stream. Upon panning (washing) it
down, there was about $4 worth of gold
in it. This was followed by a stam
pede to the Gregory diggings, as they
were afterward called. Gregory em
ployed Ave men from the new arrivals,
and by means of a sluice took out $972
in one week. Other rich strikes were
made almost daily and large amounts
of gold were taken out in a short time.
The Bates, Bobtail. Mammoth. Gun
nel!, Gurroughs, Illinois and hundreds
of other lodes were found, and thou
sands of claims were taken up. As tbe
summer of 1859 advanced the wealth
of the gold veins and gulches of what
is now Gilpin county became more and
more apparent. Over 15,000 men were
congregated In Gregory, Russell and
tributary gulches, and many of them
were accumulating wealth rapidly; but
everything valuable . was soon pre
empted and large numbers were forced
to hunt their fortunes elsewhere. En

The Kary's Coal.
Coal for toe United States navy, in
the last fiscal year, cost $2,273,111, and
amounted to 324,108 tons, an average
cost of $7.01 per ton. The domestic
coal cost $6.20 per ton, and the 105,066
tons of foreign coal cost $8.50 per ton.
American coal has been scattered all
over the world; 12,000 tons went to
Yokohama, 5,000 tons to Pichiluique,
Mexico, 9,000 tons to Mare Island, Cal
ifornia, etc. . Bids will soon be called
for for the erection of a 45.000-ton
coaling station at Cavite, near Manila,
and coaling stations have been selected
in a number of the other islands of
the Philippine group.

ETHICS OF MATRIMONY.
Good Advice for Those in and Iboci
to Kuter the Married State.
Far more difficult than the mere har
monizing of opinions is, in married
life, the harmonizing of tempers, since,
while many peopie have no opinion
worth mentioning on any subject, the
humblest or more ignorant can set up
a temper. Nothing can deal with xcm-p-ir
except conscience p.nd time, de
clares Cel. Thomas Wentworth Higsin
scn in the Chicago Daily News. "I
have known young married couples
with whom it was unpleasant to be in
the house during the first year of their
marriage, and yet habit and sheer ne
cessity made their society tolerable
within two years and positively agree
able in five. The presence of children
is a help to this compatibleness as be
ing the one possession absolutely
shared and necessarily accepted by
each parent. Another great aid to the
harmonizing of tempers indeed, some
thing priceless, as a permanent rule is
to study mutually what nay be called
the question of preferences; that is, to
form a habit of considering, when a
husband and wife differ about any
matter, which ot the two has really the
most reason to care about it.
"Thus it. may sometimes make little
difference to the wife whether break
fast is early or late, while a late break
fast may cost the husband his morning
train; or a carriage may be a very im
portant matter to a wife, with her
skiits to take care of, while it may
make no serious differenca to the bus
band whether he walks or rides. It is
surely better that one should make a
little sacrifice on any matter than that
the other should make a far greater
one.
"Many a household jar which would
have left prolonged strings behind it if
made a mere test of will and persist
ence is settled easily when the equation
of preference is applied to it, and each
is ready to make a little sacrifice to
save the other from a greater one."
SET EXAMPLE FOR THE MEN.
Ilonr a rhlllpplne Woman Crossed a
Kiver la Funsy.
Just beyond San Pedro we came to
the Sibalom River, the bed of which is
a mile wide, covered with big and lit
tle bowlders, and here and there a
swift running streajn. The main river
is probably two hundred yards wide
and Is easily forded, except after a
heavy rain, when it rises rapidly and
becomes a raging torrent. It usually
subsides in a few hours after the rain
has ceased to fall. When the river is
up many people gather on either bank
to await an opportunity to cross. Our
treasurer was once sitting on the banks
with a lot of natives waiting for the
river to subside, and had been there,
wet, hungry and tired, for hours pray
ing to get across. The river was boil
ing and foaming and no one dared
make an attempt to cross. Presently
an old woman came along, took a look
at the river, gave a contemptuous
glance on the manly sex there gathered
and then walked up the bank about a
hundred yards, where she stripped off
her clothing. She made a careful bun
dle of all her belongings, raised them
above her head and entered the stream.
The water was over her head, but she
made no attempt to swim. She would
sink beneath the water until her toes
touched a bowlder and would then give
a jump The current would give her a
lift and send her diagonally down the
stream a few yards. She kept repeat
ing the operation until at last she had
reached the other bank, far below
where she had started.' She waded out
with her bundle perfectly dry, donned
her clothes and vanished through the
thicket. From a Panay Letter in the
Mobile Register.
King in Exile
The little islands of the Seychelles, to
the east of Africa, are becoming over
populated with dusky monarchs. There
are quartered there at present four ex
kings and two queen mothers. The
kings include Prempeh of Ashanti.
( lli-.inpa nf T'eamla and Kaharpa of
Unyoro, the last-named being an old
fighting man with a notable record.
East and West African monarchs meet
at the Seychelles and the diplomatists
interested in African affairs are curious
to see how they agree. Mwanga and
Kabarega are recent importations, but
it is now more than a year since Prem
peh. late kiug of Ashantl. arrived in
Seychelles, and it is said that readers
of Maj.-Gen. Baden-Powell's book on
the downfall of that potentate would
find it hard to recognize the truculent
personage there depicted in the sleek
and oily negro, clad In immaculate Eu
ropean clothes, who sits in a front pew
of the English church in Victoria.
Realization of Agm.
Two gentlemen who had slipped past
the meridian of life without hardly ob
serving the fact were talking about
ages while eating a deliberate luncheon
a couple of days ago, when one of them
told a story which embodies the experi
ence of more than one man. "It really
came to me with a little shock," hs
said. "I took a sleeper at St. Louis
for New York, and there were only
half a dozen men aboard when I re
tired for tbe night. In the morning,
while in the toilet-room brushing my
hair, I caw in the mirror the reflection
of the back of an old gentleman I did
not remember seeing before. He ap
peared much older than any man I had
noticed on the car the night before,
and I made up my mind that he had
come aboard after I had gone to bed.
I watched the reflection while arrang
ing my hair, and then turned, intend
ing to speak to the old gentleman. You
can imagine my surprise when I found
that I had been looking at the reflec
tion of my own back."

In a New York court the other day
against a young woman who had per
sistently accosted her on the streets,
asking for alms. It appeared for the
evidence of the young woman's own
mother that her daughter had refused
to work, saying she could make money
easier by begging, and that she some
times got $3 or $4 in a day, which she
r.pent on dress and amusement gen

A RlacksmUh's Story.
Goodland, Kans., Dec. 23. N. E. AI
bertson, a local blacksmith, had almost
decided to give up his shop altogether
on account of Rheumatism which had
crippled him so that at times he could
not use bis hammer.
His shoulders and arms were so sore
that he couldn't sleep at night. He
had suffered for years, but was gradu
ally getting worse, till at last he had
about made up his mind to give up.
But just then he heard of some won
derful cures of Rheumatism by Dodd's
Kidney Pills and thought he would try
for a cure once more.
They cured him completely and he
has not a trace of Rheumatism left.
The shop will not be given up and- Mr.
Albertson may be seen there any day
hard at work as if nothing had ever
ailed him.
Emperor of Aaatrln'" 1'lain LArinf.
The Emperor Francis Joseph of Aus
tria is very plain in his tastes and
habits. At 6 o'clock in the morning
he takes his breakfast, consisting of
some cold meat, coffee and fresh-made
bread and cake. Between 12 and 1
o'clock he takes his dejeuner, two
dishes of meat and some ordinary
pastry. Dinner is served in his libra
ry at his writing desk. Not even a
tablecloth is spread. The emperor
does not care much for wine. He pre
fers a glass of beer. Nor does he in
dulge in expensive cigars. A plain- f
tome-made cigar, the so-called lrgin
ia cigar, long and thin, with a straw
running through it, is his favorite
smoke. These cigars cost only 5 kreu
jer, about 5 cents apiece.

NEW BOOK ON THE GRAND CANYON.
The Santa Fe has in preparation, to
be published some time in December,
a new and magnificent book on the
Grand Canyon of Arizona. The pub
lication comes at a fitting time, as
travel to the Canyon has greatly In
creased since the opening of the new
railroad to the Rim, and a commodious
Harvey hotel is in process of erection
at the head of Bright Angel Trail. The
book will commemorate these events
events of vast importance in that land
of silence and will be worthy of its
theme if the ablest pens in America
can make it so. It will be handsomely
illustrated, and will contain about 128
pages of matter. Among the authors
represented most of whom wrote con
tributions especially for this vork"T
may be mentioned; Hamlin Garland,
the distinguished author of "The Ea
gle's Heart" and other popular books;
Charles F. Lummis. editor of "Out
West." and the chosen prophet oZ
Adobeland; David Starr Jordan, presi
dent of Stanford University; John L.
Stoddard, the lecturer; Charles Dud
ley Warner, up to the time of his
death the dean of American authors;
Major J. W. Powell, the daring explor
er who led the first expedition down
the Colorado, passing through the en
tire length of the Grand Canyon; Har
riet Monroe, the poet and journalist;
"Fitz Mac," of Colorado Springs: Prof.
R. D. Salisbury of the University of
Chicago; Prof. Beecher of Yale, and
Charles S. Gleed, the eminent Kansas
lawyer. These and many others have
made the book the finest of its kind.
The exact date of publication has not
yet been decided, but it is expected to
appear before the end of 1901.
