These kittens , will yield annually 12,000,000 pelts, ' which, according to Smith, have an average marketable value of 30 cents apiece. Smith places the daily net profit at $9800. Now comes the Interesting part of the plan which does away with the cost of living to cats. Smith plans to stock his ranch with 1,000,000 ro dents, which, he says, breed four times as fast as cats. Therefore, there will be four rats a day for each cat to eat and by the same token each rodent will be feasted on ne-fourth of a skinned cat. New York.

Van Dyck was near Brookdale when his automobile stopped. He took off his $250 coat, preparatory to crawl ing underneath the machine. He hung the coat on a tree, where it was swayed by the wind. Van Dyck was busy in his recum bent position when he heard two shots. He crawled out In time to see his coat, riddled with shot, fall from the tree. Two men ran up. They wore what passes for hunting costumes In Jersey. "We've shot a bear," came their poy ful duet. "Shot nothing," Fnapped Van Dyck. "Look at my coat!" The nimrods vanished. Van Dyck hurled after them words that should have bored holes in them, too. HOUNDS CATCH CONVICTS. McAlester, Ok.

One of the most re murkable cases of lockjaw on record has Just been cured here by the use of anti-tetanic serum. In fact, it was really two cases of the dread disease on the same patient, one quickly fol lowing the other. The victim was Louise Gunsnllus, a 16-year-old boy, who. never had been sick a day in his life. Two months ago he was walking around the cel lar of a grocery store when he trod on a rusty nail, which penetrated the solo of his foot. Two weeks later he trod on the same nail again. A short time later Iocqkjaw developed and when the doctor was summoned con vulsions had started. At times four strong men were required to hold him. He was fed through a small tube inserted in his mouth back of the teeth. After two weeks he began to Im prove, his Jaws unlocked and he show ed signs of recovery. Then suddenly he became ill as before. An entirely new case of tetanus had developed, evidently from the second step on the nail. The Jaws locked and convul sions came back. More serum was administered and in a few days ho was better again. Ho has been on the road to recovery ever since. Skill ful treatment and an iron constitution saved h!s life.
