AITOIST'S Flit COAT IV TREE
.SHOT TO PIECES 1TU BEAR
j According to Smitb's scheme, each
of the 100.000 cats will average twelve
kittens a year, provided they are the
right kind of cats and not dominated
by race suicide policies. 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. As he shivered In the
cold blast, Matthew Van Dyck of
Richfield, N. J., had mournful recol
lections of th lovely new big fur coat
that had warmed him only a few
hours before. It had ceased to be a
coat and hnd become a colander, and
a sieve of that sort Is not equal to
piotecting a Jersey automobilist
against the winds that blow.
Resides the coat cost $250.
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. In a severe wind
and dust storm two convicts of the
state penitentiary, David Leach and
Earnest Trlppy. both short time meo,
working on a road gang near the
prison, ran into the brush and wera
not missed for more than an hour.
Then a rainstorm came up but the
dogs picked up their trail. The rain,
becoming heavier, a stop was made,
but when the rain ceased the dogs
were taken on until they picked
the trail. For eighteen miles thejr
followed the convicts unerringly an
finally caught the men.
The penitentiary has a number of
fine dogs, chief among them two of
the Texas strain and these were the
leaders In this case, although the
younger dogs worked well.

TWICE DEFIES LOCKJAW.
Altoona, Pa. 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.

rat ranch stocked with an equal num
ber of rodents nd by a unique system
of "cat eat four rats" and rat eat one
fourth of a cat" the tabby promoter
promises to place the project on a self
nnvlnor basis.
