London Daily Alail, there were nearly 500 show 
cats, and each showed every sign of gentility. 
But the well bred cat gives the impression that 
it is careless of mice and disdainful of the ple¬ 
beian pursuits of the ordinary kitclien cat. 
Miss G. Cheatham, whose blue Persian Oak- 
lands Steadfast was pronounced the best cat in 
the show, said: 
‘I breed exhibition cats simply for the pleas¬ 
ure of producing the most perfect cat, not for 
any ulterior purpose such as one has in breeding 
greyhounds or bloodhounds or spaniels. Higldy 
bred cats are no more intelligent or clever than 
ordinary back garden cats, and certainly many 
of mine will not so much as look at a mouse.” 
Caught Black Bear in Santa Claus Trap. 
A BIG black bear caught in a trap set in a 
chimney by a little boy to trap Santa Claus, 
was the story brought from the wilds of Lower 
I.ouisiana last night by C. J. Labarre, return¬ 
ing from a two weeks’ hunting expedition, says 
the Houston (Texas) Post. Mr. Labarre said 
he hunted during Christmas with Clefoas Bert- 
lot, a trapper, and used the latter’s camp. 
Noticing half a dozen sharp hooks hanging in 
the chimney of the cabin, Labarre said he called 
his host’s attention to the fact that tliey were 
placed rather high to hang cooking utensils on 
them. 
“Oh, that’s a trap my little boy fixed up 
to catch Santa Claus,” replied Bertlot. who 
said his son had been listening closely to Christ¬ 
mas stories. 
“During the following night a commotion 
in the chimney awakened everybody in camp,” 
said Bertlot, “and it was found that a bear had 
tried to climli down the chimney and got 
mixed up with the books. The bear was cauglit 
and killed.” 
Good Practice. 
It is a good plan for a young shooter to 
take out an empty gun and aim at every small 
bird which happens to raise before him. A great 
deal may be learned by occasional practice at 
this. The gun should be tlirown up at the bird, 
and, as his mind is not obsessed by the necessity 
of shooting, he will see at once if he is on, and, 
if off the mark, recognize where his fault lies.. 
He will also master tlie important matters of 
swing and chuck, and cultivate a clear eye and 
brain. What is more, be will get abundance of 
practice at handling and mounting his gun, and 
learn to appreciate how little need there is to 
fire hurriedly, wliich is the real cause of half 
the misses. The beginner may learn as much 
without cartridges for an occasional day as 
with them; and. if he is really intent on becom¬ 
ing a good shot, will not find the day dull and 
uninteresting.

A Card of Character 
A Card is much like a man, after all! 
The more character, the more power he 
has. The more character in your card, 
the more power it has. 
The Peerless Patent Book Form Card 
has more character than any card you have ever 
heard of before! It can be beautifully engraved or it 
can be neatly printed, as the user desires. It is 
necessarily always clean, because of the binding in 
book form with tis.sne paper betw'een each card, and 
the book form also keeps it from becoming wrinkled 
or crumpled. Besides, it is always “right there” 
when you need it. 
Can you think of more character for a card? 
Write and get a sample tab of the cards, detach 
them, noting as you do so, the clean smooth edge at 
place of detachment, and the protection from dust 
and dirt. They have character to convince you, if 
you will but see them.
