| ‘MORAL NOT HARD TO FIND Probably'We All Have Known People to Whom This Chronicle Will Have Significance. There was a large Thomas cat that had its habitation in a store. It was reported to be a fine blooded animal from a family of distinguished rat de- | stroyers. The cat was a beauty and everybody round the store took a turn at furnishing grub suited to the taste of a blooded cat. It was observed, however, that there was no reduction of the rat or mice population, and the proprietor of the store commenced to inquire into the reason why. He first tried the cat on a rat that had been caught in a trap, but the feline expressed no interest or animation. He looked at the rat and then walked away. The storekeeper was disappointed, but not entirely dic- couraged. He thought perhaps that cat’s specialty was mice, and as he had a mouse or two that had been caught alive in a trap, he turned them loose in front of the cat, but it paid no more attention to them than a sheep would to a rare done beefsteak. “I think,” said the storekeeper, “that I am onto this situation. I will fire the next employe who gives that cat anything to eat.” For two days the Thomas cat did a good deal of howling and wore a look of injured innocence. He felt that he had been wronged and ‘was ready to start an Insurrection, but as that didn’t seem to get him any- ‘where, he turned loose on the rats and mice in a way that was surprising. ; The second day after this change of program the rats held a convention to consider what ought .tu be done. ‘When the leading orator among the rats arose, he said: “Fellow rats, this is no time for talk. What we want to do is to move. That cat hasn't any more natural ability than he had be- fore, but he has concluded that he either has to hustle or starve, and 1 have discovered that when a cat getg in that frame of mind his neighbor hood is no place for rats.” Many men and women, as well as cats, have never amounted to a whoop Just because they never had to hustle —Topeka Capital. UNFITTED FOR HUMAN FOOD Especlal Care Should Be Exerclsed In the Use of Either Frozen or Dried Eggs. Frozen and dried eggs intended for human consumption are largely used for cooking purposes where- inferior- ity may be concealed, as in baking cakes or making custards, omelets, pies, etc. The traffic in eggs sold for drying and freezing has greatly in- creased in the past few years. Strict- ly fresh marketable eggs in the shell command a high price and there is difficulty in meeting the demand for them; but large quantities of question- eble eggs, often bought at very low prices, have been brought out for cooking purposes by disreputable firms, being preserved by freezing or drying umtil ready for use. Some dealers, however, manufacture a sat- isfactory product by the use of good ‘eggs handled under proper -condi- tions. There is no objection to drying or freezing good eggs under proper san- itary conditions; in fact, there are some advantages to be gained by pre- serving eggs in this manner, although the manufacturing processes devised by man, as a rule, do not improve the quality of nature’s work. Conditions of modern life and commerce must, however, be met, and dried eggs or eggs in a frozen condition may be shipped long distances, and require less space for transportation and stor- gge than do eggs in the shelt, London’s Kissing Spots. “The period of engagement was to them a period of licensed kissing. It was not always possible to meet bte- neath the moon. Humphrey grew where they could kiss in broad day- light. There was an Indian restau- rant in the Strand (now pulled down for improvement), which had an up- stairs dining rcom where nobody but themselves ever seemed to go, and then there was the National Gallery, surprisingly empty. where the screens holding the etchings gave them their desired privacy. and on Saturday aft- ernoon they went in the upper circles of theaters, sometimes on purpose not to see the play, but to sit in the de- serted lounges during the acting and cnjoy each other’'s company.’— “Mightier Than the Sword,” by Al- phonse Courlander. Up in the Air Some. A few days ago a Columbus (Ind.) man brought his three-and-a-half-year- old son to this city. been explaining to the son that In- dianapolis has some tall buildings and nothing in Columbus compared with them. They passed the Knights of Pythias building on a street car. The father pointed to the building. The Doy looked, turned to his father, and said: “Believe me, kiddo, that's up in the air some.”—Indianapolis News, Got the Word Wanted.
