"That's strange," replied the grocer,
who fancied himself something of a

"Oil 1" came the retort with crushing
emphasis. "Then nil I have to say Is

CATS DISRUPTED THE Z(0
Released to Clean Up Despised Pats,
They Terrorized Lions, Leopards
and Tigers Alike.
An army of cats, turned loosi In the
zoo at Highland park, Pittsburgh, Pa.,
to clean out the rats, has slown tho
fallacy of tunny tnles of fero.'lty told
of wild denizens of the Jungle.,
Itnts had become so numerous nt the
big zoo that It was found necessary to
take some means of ridding the build
ing of the pests, nnd the head keeper
decided on cats Just the plain alley
breed. An advertisement brought
them In droves, and they were turned
loose in the cages, cellars, supply
rooms and lofts.
No sooner had the cages been Invad
ed than pandemonium broke loose.
Lions, tigers, panthers, pumas and
leopards failed to recognize a distant
relationship, and many of them went
clear frantic with fear. Other ani
mals Including the elephants, were not
so timorous, but hippo nnd rhino were
only a few seconds In making up their
minds that discretion was tho better
p:irt of valor.
Unvarying Disapproval.
"You say you have always object
ed to the use of money In politics?"
"Always," answered Senator Sor
ghum ; "especially when a fellow has
more of It to use than 1 have."

TO WAR AGAINST SWINDLERS
National Organization Takes Steps to
Swing Full Force to Stamp
Out Practice.
National nnd departmental officers
of the American Legion have recently
brought to light several Instances In
which unscrupulous Bwlndlers have
successfully capitalized the grief of the
next of kin of Americans who lost their
lives In the world wnr, nnd the organi
zation's nntlonal headquarters has
taken steps to swing the full force of
the more thnn 0,000 Legion posts be
hind a movement to stnmp out the
practice.
The mother of n dead soldier whose
grnve had never been locnted recently
was told by one of these parasites that
he would visit Washington, if she paid
his expenses, nnd find out nt first-hand
what could be done. Lnter, the Impos
tor reported success nnd advised the
bereaved family that the body would
be sent home. A brother became sus
picious and by a personal call at the
war department learned that no In
quiry ever bad been made.
Another woman, whoe son had not
been heard from since he wns reported
wounded while fighting In the Ar
gonne. received a letter signed with
her son's nnme, asking her to send him
money. She mnde a trip to Cleveland,
O., only to find that the letter was a
hoax. Later, she received a telegram
signed with her son's name and noti
fied the police In the town from which
the menage had been sent. The man
who had attempted to defraud her wns
nnvsted..
At the Instigation of tho Legion, po
lice of a California city are on the
trail of a man said to have made a
practice of corresponding with the next
of kin of deceased soldiers with a view
to defrauding them. He wrote n let
ter purporting to give first-hand Infor
mation concerning the death of one of
these missing soldiers, whereas Inves
tigation showed that th'e writer of tho
letter had never been outside the Uni
ted States during tho war.
Lemuel Holies, Legion national adju
tant, has urged all posts anil depart
ments to oRslst In warning relatives of
missing heroes ngnlnst paying nny
money for information or service of
this nature, as both the Legion nnd tho
war department nre willing to provide
all available authentic Information at
all times without charge.
