Kansas City, Mo. If the family cat

appealingly. If It sits upon the chair
and caats a sympathetic eye in your
direction while you argue with the
iceman or if it gets upon the piano
keya, don't pass the incidents Indif

There is meaning, real significance,
in ever- action and look of the cat;
at least to one woman in the world,
Mrs Hattio Melius Freeman, of tills
city
This woman is thoroughly conver

their every whim; she can talk to
them; they can talk lo her In court,
they are her companions, and she

If any one will take the trouble to
go to the rear of this woman's home
he will not only find food there for the

FLOODS FLOAT COFFINS
FROM OLD CEMETERIES
Fishermen Reap Reward for
Catching Boxes as They Drift
Down the River.
Little Rock. Ark. The recent rise
of the Arkansas river brought a new
kind of drift down the stream and
the river "rats." instead of pulling in
stray saw-logs, have been catching
coffins. Reports from Conway and
other points state that fishermen along
the Arkansas river have caught and
tied up several coffins which contain
ed the bodies of iersons evidently
dead for some time
Robert L. Gregg of Conway first no
tied a cotfin floating down the river.

It lodged on a sandbar, but later was
lloated awa. W. W. Matthews and
.lame-. Helton were with Green at the
time, but the sight was too grewsome
for them and they did not make an ef
fort to catch it.
Word of the tloating coffins was con
vened to iho:-e who have relatives
buried in cemeteries along the banks J
of the Arkansas within the limits of
Conway Relatives visited other
graiey.itds to iind their feais realized.
Rewards were offered for the recov
ery of bodies. Several fishermen
abandoned their usual diversion to
watch for the tloating cotlins. but not
so with the negro fishermen.

dad's favorite bull snake and they will

have a snake fight.
Cool nights drive bull snakes Into
winter quarters, where they remain
until late spring, while the gophers
and moles work a much longer season.
To guard against this the farmer could
' gather his snake every evening Just
as he does the cows, only place them
in lined baskets and keep them be
hind the kitchen stove.
t Sometimes the snakes might escape
' from the basket and decide that on
the iarmer's bed was a much warmer
j place and they would crawl o'ver and
) cuddle down on the farmer's manly
j bosom. But one wouldn't mind that
when he got used tc it.
The bull snake is a light yellow,
spotted with brown. They often grow
to be six to eight feet long and are
very powerful. They are not poison
ous, but in fighting they bite very
hard and cause ugly wounds

of That Spice.
"After a man has learned to control
his own organs of sneezing, selling
pepper for a living has its advan

"For one thing, it keeps undesirable
acquaintances at a distance. When
ever I feel a desire to commune with
my own soul all I have to do to secure
the necessary privacy is to mention
my occupation and people flee from
me as if I had the plague.
"And I have got It, in one sense. It
is impossible to handle ground pepper
all day long without carrying home an
ounce or two on my clothes, and a
vigorous whack on my coat sleevs
sends enough pepper flying to set a
dozen people sneezing. For that rea

from many of the annoyances that
unprotected persons have to endure.
