A LEGEND OF THE STRING INSTRU- MENT FOUNDED QN Mrs Thomas Catgut's Touching Account of Ms Passion For Miss Pnuy Carmine and the Tragedy That. Restated Therefrom. Under the . Musician's Touch. It is known to only a few people that the devil once had a daughter -that Was many years ago. The Lord be praised, she lived only a short time. She was cut off in her youth. She came to this world in the guise of a graceful kitten, and 1, Mr, Thomas Katgut, was destined to have nay fate intermingled with hers. While strolling along the banks of a pleasant little stream I first met Miss Pussy Carmine, and well was she nanted. When I gazed into her eyes, they meowed to glow with fire, and when I drew my eyes away they were !to dazzled that all around and about me seemed for a moment to be red, and the soft. gray fur with whioh she was cov- ered seemed td be tipped with scarlet. Despite the -fact that my entire heart went out to her in adoration at first sight, I could not but be conscious of a strange and unwind feeling which' I could not localize. I seemed to draw and strain until it fairly aehed, but I could not place it. It was not,my heart, nor yet my liver, and it seemed to be far from my head. This meeting was but the first of many. Night after might we met, but in the midst of transports of jog and ecstasies" of bliss which these meetings, brought to me I always con- tinued to experience the indescribable feeling, vague, unapproachable, yet al- ways there when in her presence. One night I felt that I could no longer contain my feelingsoso, on the banks of the river, on the very epot where first we met, I- told her of ray love. And, oh, the effect! Fire seemed to finale from her eyes and mouth and each undivided hair an her body was aflame. All the devil in her seemed to be let loose. Before sny astonishment gave me a chance to act she leaped upon me and began to' wretch and tear and gnaw and bite. And in the midst of all the horror and pain of it came that same indescribable feeling in the 'undiscov- ered place. I was perfectly powerless to resist her murderous attacks, and any efforts on my part morbid have been melees, for I felt that my hour had oome. With- out pausing, she continued to scratch and tear at , me until finally, feeling that I was in the act of taking my last breath, I opened my eyes to cast a last look upon this sad but beautiful world. Jrett then Miss Pussy seemed to have exhausted hpr vitality, for she fell beck dying eveh as mylast flut- tering breath imaged from my lips. And then my seul left its earthly dwelling place. iced, hovering above, looked down on the scene of the late tragedy. diotu I" My own body lay there lacerated and torn, but the body of the devil's daughter had vanished into space. • Eager as I was to soar away to a bet- ter land, I could not, tear myself from the spot, but lingered around ray poor body in the hope that some kind mor- tal would find it and give it decent bur- Jai- But alas for all xnhopea1 At toady dawn a strange looking man; tall and lean, with long hair and bony, elender fingers, came wandering toward our late trysting place. Suddenly he saw -tiny body, and a trembling tdok posses- siom of him, which be soon controlled, and liftins. me gently by the tail, car- ried me for some distance until we mine to a little house in the woods which seemed to be his own. My soul followed through space, eager to see ,what was to become of my body. This awful man, who, it seemed, was the 'commander in chief of an army organ- ized for the advancement of music, took up a musderous looking knife and de- liberately cut ay poor body into bits. 'Ho cut in deep until he reached my very vitals, and as the knife touched these my soul gave a long, quivering but satisfied sigh, for he had towthecP the spot which had always responded to Miss Pussy's presence, and which, while I had lived, bad always eluded my de- tection. He took up my vitals and out them into narrow strips and strung :them across the window to dry. Though my body and soul were really separated, so sensitive was ray soul to any touch to these parts that each time a breeze swept across them my soul could not ,resist a cry. - These cries seemed to please the rati- Molars so much that he nearly went wild with excess of feeling. He manipu- lated the strings -which were my vitale -in all sorts of ways, and finally drew them taut over a peculiar piece of glazed wood and over this drew a rod iu meas- ured time. My soul moaned and sighed at each tench, but the musician seemed to know how to modulate and moderate my cries and at the same time to mingle with my tones others of such sweetness and pathos that the combined effeot was heavenly and grand. And thus it is that my soul has never found a final resting place, for mingled with my sad tones are ever those sweet and glorious ones, harmoniously inter- mingled, making music which binds me to earth, holding me back even from heavenly joys. Explanation. -This is not a true story, Cats have always been known to be sly and deceitful, and Mr. Thomas Katgut, whose soul tells this story, is no exception to the rule. In proof of this statement 1 call your attention to the definition of the word catgut in most dictionaries, whioh will be found about as follows: "Oatgut-The name giyeit to material of which the strings' Qf musical instru- ments are formed. It in made from the intestines of the.sheepe and sometimes from those of the home, but never from those of a cat."- Anna Letni in New York Times.

The Small Fees That Are Received by tits London Barristers. A barrister's fees are small, and they are always paid in advance, and the sum is recorded under the title of the brief. A friend who bas a large practice shOwed me his feebook yesterday. The la -gest item wee 88 guineas, which is less than $200, The averagewas about $50. Fees are regulated by the benchers of the dun according to the -service per- formed, and no contingent fees are al- lowed. A barrister may accept a case for nothing or return the fee in oases of charity, but he cannot without violat- ing his oath, directly or indirectly, ac- cept any greater compensation for a • legal service than is allowed in the regular schedule fixed by the benchers of his inn. If be does so, he is debarred from practice. It is a common custom in America for a lawyer to undertake a suit for the recovery of damages or a claim of any kind with -a contract that he shall re- ceive a certain percentage of the amount of money recovered. In England such an act would be eonsidered disreputa- ble, and any barrister found guilty would be expelled from his inn. The fees are regulated by the amount of time and labor required, and not by the amount of money involved. A barrister may receive a fee of $250 in a case in- volving only $500, and he mati receive a fee of $25 in a case involving $1,000,- 000. All legal business originates with so- licitors. They bring to the barrister's office a vase all prepared after certain forms and written in manuscript The British courts do not permit typewrit- ing. The solicitor requests the barrister to undertake the case, and the fee is marked plainly upon the brief. If the barrister does not care to undertake the labor for the amount of money allowed or for any ether realon, he advises ibe /solicitor to go elsewhere. 11 he accepts the responsibility, the solicitor leaves the amount of the fee in coin with the brief, so that the barrister.has his pay in advance. This is the almost invaria- bleoustom. The only exceptions are in oases of close friendship between the solicitors and barrister/ and where there is a large amount of litigation in which both are involved. Then it is mammary for the barrister to make up his bill at the end of the month or the end of the quarter, but the fee in each case must nevertheless be written upon the brief and recorded in the books of the court. It is customary, also, for the solicitor to leave a fee for the barrister's clerk at the same time, which must be a cer- tain percentage of that paid to the bar- rister. When you dine at a hotel or a restaurant in England, it is customary to tip the waiter an amount equal to 5 per cent of your bill for the same rea- son. The waiter receives no compensa- tion from his employer, nor does the barrister's clerk. His pay comes entire- ly from the clients, and if his princi- pal has no clients he gets no pay. On the other bapd, if his principal bas a very large and profitable practice his fees are* enotenous. They say that the clerk of Sit Charles Russell lives in a hendeoroe villa down in the suburbs, is driven to and from his office in abrough- am and hires a box at the opera for the season. -Chicago Record. ••••••mgrowvgaimmaral~1011111~0.111M111.11".1.11111111.°1 .0••••••••1•1111MM.I • Purest and Beat for Table and Dairy No adulteration.

Many charming stories have been told by old ladies who were in their prime when Lafayette made his 'second visit to America of the gallant Frenchman's courtesy.• On the day of his public .eceptionIn Virginia he rode in au open carriage without his hat, exposed to the rays of a brilliant sun, bowing to the crowds always ready to greet hint. There was some apprehension that sunstroke might he the penalty of his politeness, but the marquis was an old soldier. Before leaving home he had put a damp towel into his capacious wig and, protected by bis helmet, be could indulge his French politeness with impunity. French and American revolutions and Austrian dungeons had taught him the art of self preservation. The most charming story is of earlier date -his visit to the mother of Wash- ington. He found her in the garden, raking together dried weeds and sticks, preparatory to a bonfire, arrayed in a linsey skirt, sack and broad brimmed hat tied over the plaited border of her cap. The hostess met the situation with the composure of a duchess. Dropping • her rake, she took between her bare palms the hand the nobleman extended as he bowed before her and said: "Ah, marquis! You have come to see an old woman! I can make yon wel- come without changing my dress. I am glad to see you. I have often heard my son George speak of yon. But come Preceding him into her living room, she placed herself opposite him, ereot HR a girl of 18, never touching the tall, straight back of her chair, while she limtened to the praises of her son poured forth by the eloquent Frenchnaan. 'then she mixed with her own hands a cooling drink and offered it to the genera/ with a plate of homemade gin- ger crake. The man of the world ac- cepted the beverage as simply and grace- fully as it was tendered, pronounced it delicious and arose to go. Would she give him her bleseing? She looked up to heaven, folded her bands and prayed that God would grant him "safety, happiness, prosperity and peace. "-Youth's Companion. No More of It For Him. He entered the shop of a fashionable bootmaker, a look of determination on his face. It was snail a look as one sees on the face of a man who is firmly re- solved to carry out, at all hazards, a de- cision which will change the whole mourn di his life. "H'm I" he began as the assistant stepped forward and politely questioned him as to his requirements in feet beautifiers '"I want a pair of shoes for my wife, --Mrs. Brown." "Yes, sir, certainly," said the young man briskly. "Same style and size as last week?" "Same style. Size, fives -wide fives," replied Brown decidedly. "But -or -excuse me. Mrs. Brown only takes -that is, she usually has 83S," exclaimed the assistant, wbo knew the lady well. "Are you raarried, young man?" queried Brown sternly, the look of de- termination deepening on his careworn features. "Er -not yet, sir," answered the shopnaan, blushing. "I thought not," returned Brown. "I am! I am _not going to suffer half an hour's purgatory every morning, watching a woman trying to squeeze a bushel of feet into a peck of boots. I've stood it long enough, and I'm going to take her a pair that will fit. "-Pear- son's Weekly. Making Things Clear. An old Peebles worthy and au Eng- lish lady were one day recently occu- pants of a railway carriage in an Edin- burgh bound train. The train had been waiting long at a certain station, and there. was no appearance of its starting, when the worthy remarked, "They're a gey taiglesorae lot here.", "1 beg your pardon," said the lady. "I'm sayin th.ey're an awfn' daidlin squad here," said the old fellow. "I really beg your pardon, sir," she rejoined. "I'm romarkin they're a vera dreioh lot here the nicht," the old gentleman further ventured. "Really, I must again beg your par- don," said the lady, with marked em- barrassment, "but I do not oomprehend you.,, "I was just trying to say the train was late," be finally blurted. "Indeed, sir, it is very late," agreed the lady. And the conversation collapsed. - Dundee News. Good Looks Go a Great Way. "Miss Highsee is a , beautiful singer, isn't she?"

It is relative. A millionaire considers himself dead broke when he finds that be has only a V in his peeket. Men of leas means think they are dead broke when they can find but a quarter or a half in their pockets. But with the mass of people 'Who haven't very much, even when at their belt, dead broke means that condition in which a man finds himself without a nickel in his pocket& Pennies don't out any ice. Even three or four of them won't pay a car fare, and when a man hasn't oar fare the walk to Cumminsvillei at maid- ntght seems long -awfully Wag. "That's what ailed me the other night," saki a resident of that suburb. "I didn't bale a nickel to my name - nota niok. So I tried to work the con- ductor. When he struck me, I felt in my pockets, fired one, then' the other and then looked dazed. " 'I had a niekel,' I said, 'but blame me if I know where it is.' "'Too thin, old man,' said the heart- less man in bine. 'You'll have to walk a little just for change as you haven't got it.' Think of a man getting off a joke like that. "I walked, but not far. Tried an- other conductor with the same racket. Didn't werk. He Was heartless also. I knee,. I'd get home if the cars kept com- ing, but the last car would be due moon. Then I thought of the old motto, 'Hon - mete, is the best policy.' I'll try it on. "I got on the oar and held up my head. When the man with the badge came along, I said: "'I'm dead broke, old man. Let me talc, a sneak home, will yon?' "That worked to a charm. He was the bes conductor lever saw. He knew I was telling the truth. The 'others thougb1 I was lyieg, and 1 was, but not in the ay -they thought. All he said was: "'All right, old fellow. Don't give me away though.' "'Not on your life,' I said. Then I curled up and slept the sleep of the just and the righteous. Hereafter I'm going to tell the truth, cost what it may. "- Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
