Cat Hatched Out Brood of Chickens, Bess, tho big, gray, motherly cat owned by Andrew J. Lock, is tho most famous Inhabitant of Rye, N. H. And Bess Is well worthy of all the pats of kindness that nro showered upon her and tho dis tinction that has heralded 'her name throughout all that part of tho state. For she has become a mother to the motherless and this In a way that has shown her to possess intelligence which In all tho sincerity of tho phrasa is al most human. Bess's good old mother, now' long since dead, must have taught her the works of mercy when Bess was a kitten. lor Bho has performed many merltorlus little acts during her lifetime, but her last act of charity when she be came the mother of a brood of chicks, even going so far ns to hatch them out is the most unusual thing that Bess has ever done. Not long ago Mr. Lock had a hen which was sitting on a nest of eggs, but which took her departuro for parts unknown one morning and has never been heard of since. While tho mother hen was sitting on the eggs Bess visited her every day to view the proceedings with wonder be cause the old hen never moved from tho nest. Then came an unexpected event Bess called to see the hen one morning and found her gone. Then she Jumped up to the nest of eggs, which wero still very warm, and nosed around there for a little while. Mr. Lock watched her, and as he knew that she could be trusted, he went to look for the delinquent hen, but could not find her. When he returned to tho nest he found pussy quietly stretched over the eggs, and although he tried, ho could not Induce her to leavo them. Finally Mr. Lock went away, expecting that Bess would soon follow him. But such was not the case. Bess remained on the eggs, and eventually hatched out the entlro brood of chickens. Then with feline care, she protected them as only cat can, treating them just as If they wero young kittens Instead of chickens. She has walked around tho barnyard with them every day, and has constantly watched them through all their young days, until now that they have grown to a fairly large size, they are able to take caro of themselves. But even to this day she manifests an Interest In her brood, and they are as well cared for ns those of any hen. Boston Post. BRATTLEBORO PER80NAL. Lawyer W. N.

A Day of Rest for France, The commission which has been con sidering the introduction In Franco of a weekly day of rest has proposed Sunday as a day of compulsory idleness lor all except certain trades, necessarily busy every day. It will be laid before the French parliament. Evidently the Conti nent and England, and for that matter tho United States, aro drawing together in the use of Sunday. The old-fashioned English Sunday meant no work and no play. The Continental Sunday meant play, but unhappily, also a great deal of work. While England Is forgetting the austerities of Puritanism and taking to play on Sunday, France is advancing in tho economics of labor, and finds work soven days a week Intolerable. Curious tales aro told of tno Masai, one of the most warlike of the native African tribes. They have been attacking the na tives In tho German protectorate with great daring, driving off great herds of cattle with singular ease. Half the at tacking force will sweep down on a peace ful village, engaging In a bloody fight with the inhabitants, while the other half will drive away tho herds. The Masai have a wonderful knack In tho management of cattle. A German writer says that a single Masai Is often able to coax behind him a whole herd of cattle by lightly whistling and tapping with his spear against his hugo shield.

Tho Brattleboro Reformer, which Is a Democratic newspaper of a 6ort Is un able to wield any influence in Its own party. Itching to butt in somewhere, It Is prono to hang about the back door of the councils of tho Republican party, sneak across tho threshold long enough to bawl out a yap of unsolicited advico and then duck before the bootjack can land. No doubt the Reformer Is lone some; it wants someone to play with. It Is a good deal In the position of the rag ged urchin who hangs on the outside of tho pickets and scoffs at tho games and the luncheon of tho children's lawn party, alternating his Jcerings with sug gestions as to the proper way of doing things. The Reformer's latest foray into Re publican politics Is an attempt to boom n candidate for tho Republican nomina tion for state's attorney in this county. No doubt, the candidacy shtfuld be set tled In the Brattleboro caucus, but It should be settled by Republicans, and not by a newspaper which, having n'o con stituency of Its own, persists in playing In the backyard of Its political enemies. -Advt gcaths.

"Follow the precedent," Is being urged in regard to the nomination for state's attorneyship of Windham county. The 'precedent" Is that of nominating the candidate who has been admitted to the bar for the greatest length of time. When all other things are equal this Is a good rule; but it should not be blindly followed. Precedent should stand aside for character and ability. By all. means let's choose a state's attorney of sound character. Let's con tinue to elect those against wnom no charce of Kraft will be brought. To be sure, ability should count In the race, but states attorneys now have an attorney. general to whom they can look for gula. ance. Wo prefer for the office a man with an honest character whose ability will bo backed by that of the attorney-general, rather than one with exceptional ability whose character Is guided by the devil, Wo know nothing about the character of either of the candidates for the office in this county so this Is not meant for a rap at either of them. We hope they both measure up to the standard. Wo trust the delegates to the conven tlon will keep In mind the character as well as ability of all candidates for office. and elect accordingly during that day. Advt.
