True Story
Adventures
of Her
Ed. Mail:
Well you eco it was this way my
namo in Mrs. Soar, ntul though I don't
mean to boast of my lineage, I am very
proud ot the namo, (or I can count my
grand mothers clear back to Noahs Ark.
1 live on top of Huckleberry Hill, nmt
Mr. Dear being away from homo w much
1 hno grown fond of eolitude, being of
a retiring disposition any way, (or I
usually retiro about the first week in
November, and stay that way a Rood
lone while. It just depends on the
weather, what time I get up. I look
out ot tho window about the middto of
April, and if the spring styles are out, I
co to the opening, it not, I juet turn over
and teke Another nap.
I bate men and I halo dog though I

spat through the brush, breaking up my

works terribly on my system.
I don't mind the base ball team though

they challenged me to a little game, and
they camo np here in a nicotine launch,
with n big assortment ot guns and dogs
and an immense big lunch basket. They

stayed right with the basket o! lunch,
and turned the dogs Iooeo juet when I
was taking my morning walk. Well I
didn't wait to get better acquainted
for there are people I dont care to ne

wanted to gut homo iu time (or dinner,
(or nothing in this world makes Mr.
Dear more provoked than (or mo to bo
bo hind hand witli meals. Ho growls
just like n man, whoa over I am tho
least bit Into, eo I put out, nhd mndu n
homo ruu on tho first inning.
Hut I wanted most of all to tell you
about the josh I played on Floyd Cotfelt
nna Frank Rodgers. They came up hero
with some blankets and tin things, an
old coffco pot nnd a ten cent novel, and
set up houpo keeping in a big hollow
tree, that has belonged to our family
for generations, just ns cool as yaa please
aud hung their coats up on a knot like it
w as a first-class hotel. 1 was mad but
I didn't say anything. M voice would
never have bceu heard nuovo tho noise
made by those old, lean, hungry looking
hounds nny way, so I just prowled
around, taking notes until I got a chance
to call when they wnsent in, jnst like
the folks do i l town. I wanted to let
them know I had been there, and I had
left my card case at home, so 1 just
hauled everything cut of tho house,
the first thing I did.
Some of tho blankets I toro into litllo
pieces, then I curried some of the pieces
up on tho top of the hill and scattered
through the ealal brush, then I put the
rust nndor a log. One I just wokcd a
lace border all around with my teeth,
they aro wearing lace a good deal this
Summer, and it looks fine when it was all
spread out on the hill. Then I used my
teeth for a can opener, and I ate every
thing they had. Sotno of the things I
liked and some things I didn't, but I
wanted to get rid of everything. I got
hold of a can of pepor, and it came
mighty near burning mo up, I toll ynu
it was warm as love in August, but I ate
a roll of buttir and that relieved that
terrible burning sensation that porvnded
my entire being. I tried tho pickleB
too, but they gaye mo such a pquint it
changed the wbc'o expression of my
features, eo I dug a hole and bur.ed
them down by a snlmonberry bush.
Then I thought I'd make some coffee
like I bad seen them do and I took the
the coffco pot about 60 yards from the
houEe, for I didn't want it to burn down
and no insurance; cause Mr. Seugetack
en conldn't climb tho hill through tho
huckleberry brush with life stood clothes
on, to sec to it; besides, I thought it
might come in handy some time when
I wanted to take a nap. I tried to stJtke
a match on the teat of my pants iuHt
like they did but they must navo been
damp (or they wouldn't go. I didn't cure
(or coffee is mighty bad for the nerves,
any way; cause when anybody's sick
Dr. McCormac Eaye its coffee, but. Dr.
Straw eays its their imagination, hut
Frank Rogers eays that coffee's all right,
only you must take an antidote for he's
tried it aud it works fine. He cot tho
ormula down to tho teachers institute,
D) I reckon it must he ell right, Tim
man seems to dlv'de hie time between the
teachers institute and me for lis is half
the timo on my trail but I always tret
the laugh on him.
I nearly forgot to tell you about that
novel, I jutt tore every leaf out, and
scattered them all over creation, I was
so disgusted to think any body in this
enlightened age would read Euoh etuff,
when they could just ai well read tho
Coast Mall, I just nearly crlol fur the
K litor over euch a lack of appreciation
of really good and "mighty intercstin
readin."
Last spring two of my friends and
myself thought wu would herd Mr.
Roger's ebeop andjroats for him just like
those yellow collies 'do, but ho took
their out sides homo.
But I got wise (or when old Rose and
Ranger comes howling aftor'mo I jit
run to tho haunt v. hero ir.y old friend,
Dier Buck HveE end toll him to givo
them a chute (or I am tired, I gg,n little
ways with him, Inert I climb up a trco,
and when those howling hounds go rftr
rhe' deer buck and that mnn Rogrr&"
goes running by with the probjtorhn
streaming down his face, I just sit up
tbcto in a a natural formation Feat, as
cool as a cunumher, graciously waving
my tail while I ponder on tho muta
bility of human affairs.
That man's a queer specimen any
way, if ho only had n little more ofu
boar cast ot features and n little deeper
gro-'vl I shouldn't know him from one ol
my own family, I Just bet Icould do a little
side stroku with him all right. That
old yellow bound with red eyes ttioy call
Snyder, ho camo up horo ono day, and
stuck his cold blnck uoto right in tho
door of our hollow log, but Mr. Hear
gave him such a box on tin) side of tho
jaw, with .lis paddy paw, that ho hns
had n gentlemanly mono with us
folks over since Hut Ranger he's not
so distant, ho'd associate with ns If we
lot him, but wodont want him in our sot,
and I only wish utter this Rogers, ColTelt
nnd Short with nicotine, launch f .ill ot
base ball team, aud those 1? old yipping
and howling, lean and hungry looking
old houndB would stay iu thier own
back yard.

London, July 20 Tho clnlms of the
Catholic Church am so lolly, Its organlxn
lion ro peculiar, there being no othur ec
clesiastical monarchy In ChlHteudom,
and Its history has been so npiondid,
that the npprochiug election to its throne
ennnot bo otherwise than n subject of
thu highest intellectual interest through
out tho civilized world. This Is espeo
hltv the case nt tho present vacancy
for tho p.pnry clearlv stands at tho
puling of thu ways, and tho successor
of l.eo XIII. will probubly decide
whether tho Church shall bo world
wide, or !hnll become practlcilly tho
Church ol thu l.nlin races alone, race
which, If they nru not decaying, aru be

possible, thut a non-Itn'iau Cardinal
should bo elected. Not only Is tin1
nujorlty In the conclave competed of
Italians lorn, but there, nru gravu rea
sons, iilmout overwhelming ronsous, why
no ouu not of that nation should Ih elect
ed. Thu old reason thnt the Church Is
centralized iu Rome, nnd that the Con
grcgHtloiiH or Committees which govern
it, would fuel themselves out of toucli
with a foreign Pope, Is stilt operative,
and rather Ntrouxer than weaker because
the uuw Dogna bus complied them nil
to exalt their chief's spiritual rights.
International enmities havo becouiu
more bitter; and no German or English
