A well known author, who for soma years bas been an entlmsluvtlc ad rulrer of the automobile, had an amus ing experience, which she describe In the Bohemian. A new model a! ways attracted her attention, she de clares, and when she came out of the New York hotel where she was stay ing and saw a One new car standing unoccupied by the curb she stopped to admire It; While I examined It and (TO ted with envy a friend, also Interested In autoa. came down the atep and approached the machine. "Isn't It stunning!" he said. t agreed enthusiastically and added that the machine was tantalising uio, as I did so long to take a spin, that my chauffeur was 111 and that I was afraid to run ray ear through the city. "Why, 1 will take you," he said. "1 haven't anything to do this afternoon. Where ahall we gor We got In, and I suggested Coney. To make a long story short the de lightful ride gave as an appetite. We topped for dinner and then went oat to Sea Gate to call upon friends. As we were crossing the bridge on our way home at about 11 o'clock my friend Inquired, "At what garage do you keep your machine r At the question a terrible possibility dawned upon tue, and with the re membrance of a certain unfamlllarlty that he had displayed at the first In regard to the running of the car the situation became Instantly clear. He had thought that the machine was mine, aud I had been equally secure In the belief that It was his. In other words, we had calmly gone off with some one else's property. You may Imagine our feelings. We felt confident that we would be ar rested on our way uptown. We rolled up to the hotel Inwardly quaking. After much Inquiry and explaining we found the Indignant owner. For tunately he knew me slightly and had a well developed sense of humor. In spite of a rather forbidding expres sion as we first faced him with our unfortunate story. I think he believed oa. His parting remark, however, waa rather puzillng, although be said It with evident cordiality: "Whenever you'd like to use the ma chine again Just let me know." A SURPRISED CAT. Oatitlar'a Pet and Ita Experience With a Parrot. Of all cat stories the best Is one told by Tbeophlle Gaotler, the French nov elist. He kept many cats, the favor ite being "Madame Tbeophlle," and she waa bis constant ' companion by day and night One day a friend, who waa going away a abort time, brought Gautier a parrot to be taken care of during his absence. The bird, finding Itself la a strange place, climbed up to the top of Its perch In a rather frightened manner. Madame Tbeophlle bad never seen a parrot before and regarded the creature with manifest surprise. After a period spent In profound meditation, summoning up all the no tions of natural history she bad picked np In the yard, the garden and on the roof, she plainly came to the conclu sion that the newcomer was a green chicken. This result attained, the next proceeding of Madame Tbeophlle waa to lay herself flat 00 the floor, like a panther, watching ber prey. The parrot did not like this at all; It ruffled Us feathers and rattled Its chain uneasily. Then Madame Tbeo phlle came creeping nearer, her nose quivering, her eyes half closed, while slight thrills of pleasure ran along her backbone at the Idea of the meal she was about to make. Another moment 1 and she sprang upon the perch. I The parrot Instantly straightened up j and said In a deep bass voice, "Hare j you breakfasted. Jaeko?" 1 This utterance so terrified the cat that- she sprang backward. All her ornithological Ideas were overthrown, i "Arid on what?" continued the par rot gravely. "On sirloin?" The cat cast a glance at her master as If to say: "This Is not a bird. It is a gentleman. It talks!" And then she promptly hid herself under the bed, and from that refuge she could not be Induced to stir during the whole day. St Louis Globe-Democrat. - Adages of Morocco. In an article ou the people of Morocco a writer lu Paris Figaro nays: "They have some queer adages and some that closely resemble ours.

'Cross the rushing stream, but beware of the quiet, noiseless 'one;' 'In this world there are three things not to be trust ed luck, women and horses;' 'Mount ing a horse, loosing the brntlng dngs and hearing earrings rattle drrfe dull care away.'
