('aus:''' the Kitty.
An odorous story comes from the
east. A young man whose field of pro
fessional labor is not twenty miles from
the Pittsburg road, caught a skunk the
other evening. Before starting on the
pursuit he failed to classify the little
animal properly and pressed the chase
by reason of an error in judgment
which led him to believe himself in pur
suit of some wicked person's deserted
kitty. He was undeceived, however,
when he was about to lay hands on the
skunk and thought for a moment that
the concentrated essence of odors had
been poured out upon his head. The
strictly embarrassing feature of his
position was that he had left his best
girl in the buggy while he went oil" on
the skunk hunt. As all things end, so
did their journey to town, and so has
his penchant for catching stray cats.

Like the Ancient Order of Iloo I loos,
the secret and mysterious order of the
Dlack Cats, the Corkscrew Club of this

ing is veiled in the profoundest mys
tery. The Chief High Ritualist issaid
to appear before the lodge on meeting
nights at exactly the dread hour of mid
night, when graveyards yawn and give
up the spirits of their dead, and to per
forin such a wierd and altogether hyp
notic incantation that the room is tilled
with enchannient and all are lifted to
the seventh stratum of Corkscrew Club
delight. This is followed by the intro
duction of a turkey gobbler who stuts
about m the blue ether of the seventh
a-rial stratum as a perpetual example
of the pride to which all members of
the club who have been elevated to the
seventh plane of Corkscrew Club pro
gression should attain. A half tone
reproduction of the turkey gobbler set
in a pictured wreath of chrysanthe
mums and hollyhocks, to denote spring,
autumn and Thanksgiving, is worn as
the emblem and royal insignia of the
club. Uut little information regarding
the inner workings of this club is at
tainable and we have been unable to
learn what manner of corks are drawn
by the Corkscrew Club at times of meet
ing. The club convened at 12 o'clock
Siturday night and did not adjourn
until 12 o'clock Sunday night. This
was a regular convocation. When cer
tain special rites are performed the
sessions are said to last from forty-eight
to siqty hours.

Laporte Argus: Those who enter
tain a superstition about the No 13
being unlucky may be interested in
knowing that several years the Lake
.Shore road has had a No. 13 express
train, ami as long as it run under that
number it never met with the slightest
mishap, it was so singularly free from
all trouble that it became noted on the
road. A short time ago the number
was changed and almost immediately
accidents began to happen to it and
they have since been of frequent occur
rence, although none of them have
very serious.
