A Fable of the Cat’s Nine Lives.
A yellow dog one day strolled
into a neighbor’s yard and a black
cat that had been sunning him
self on the back porch, immediate
ly climbed into the upper branches
of a tall tree.
“ Why do you fear me ? ” quer
ied the dog. “ Such distrust to
ward an old acquaintance touches
me deeply. Come down from
your perch and we will frolic and
^ gay, I will not hurt you.”
“ I know that you will not hurt
me,” answered the cat, winking
the other eye and simultaneously
securing a more satisfactory hold
on the limb. “ The fact is that
nature did not fit you out with
claws, and therefore you cannot
climb a trep.”
Moral: .While valor is attend-
ln g its own funeral, discretion con
tinues in business at the old stand
and caution is the other name for
a cat’s nine lives.

Eighteen Young Ladies Suspended for an

places as to Brunswick:

Eighteea of the young ladies at
tending Lucy Cobh Institute at
Athens, left the breakfast table
April 1st, and going out of the
back way broke down a panel of
fence and came down towurto play
an April fool joke. They were
for the most part bareheaded and
r m along the street chatting at a
lively rate. Down town they
played jokes on a number of mer
chants by ordering things and then
going off and not taking them.
They took a jaunt into East Ath
ens, then got a tallyho and rode
around the city. They wound up
at a photographers after a three or
four hour’s trip, and from there
went to the institute.
Mrs. Lipscomb had already
heard of the affair and had written
letters to the parents of the girls
notifying them of the incident and
requesting the withdrawal of the
girls from the institute. Mrs.
Lipscomb will not give the names
of the young ladies, but they be
long to some of the most promi
nent families in Georgia. The
eighteen young ladies will leave
tomorrow morning for their res
pective homes.
Mrs. Lipscomb regretted very
much the taking of this step, but
said that it was rendered neeessa-
iy to protect the dignity of the
institute, as its discipline had been
grossly violated. The young la
dies are very sorry for the occur
rence and say they only intended
playing a little April fool joke.
REINSTATED.
Mrs. M. A. Lipscomb, principal
of Lucy Cobb Institute has recind-
ed the orders suspending the
eighteen young ladies who had
such a gay lark Thursday, and
they have been reinstated.

A very queer and curious speci
men of humanity passed through
Gainesvile, Ga., the other day. A
brief sketch of him and
the ideal life of a hermit
woods—may prove
reading.
He gives his life as one of
tire solitude, living aloof from the
world out in a small hut over in
the Smoky Mountains of South
Carolina, but says that he is known
far and wide all over this country.
It was with much difficulty that
he could be induced to speak at
all, hut when he had been taken to
a warm cosy fireside and had a
few pennies stored away in his old
trousers’ pocket, which were col
lected from the curious crowd
about him, he threw off his man
tle of faked dumbness and pro
ceeded to narrate quite an inter
esting history of himself, his trails
and successes in his arear of trav
el. He looks like a model Geor
gia cracker but converses as a
wise old sage. He says that he
is uo tramp, but a true, honest
and upright man, and that his on
ly pleasure in life consists in liv
ing the life of one banished from
society, away from a precise and
an exacting, cruel world. He has
been on a trip to Atlanta for the
purpose of purchasing a few
needed books, for he could pro
cure them there a few cents
cheaper than elsewhere. He is
now on his return trip carrying
with him forty pounds of litera
ture swung in a sack across his
back. With his huge bundle of
books, his large, long walking
staff, his gray, grizzly and tangled
beard, and his peculiar and cute
manner, he presents quite an at
tractive and curious sight.
He told of his Irish parentage,
being born in Dublin, Ireland, of
his early childhood aiid his prog
ress along these lines. He told of
his love affairs and his marriage,
his wife’s sad death, and of his
trials and successes as a school
master and professor, told of be
ing connected with several nota
ble institutians of learning. He
told of his service in the army,
and of his privations in the ser
vice. He told how the people
had treated him in his travels, of
his life as a hermit with his home
in the woods, no one he could call
his friend, no one that cared what
became of him, with only his
walking staff, his books and the

worth.
sad v fearful silence to keep him
company, but he has accustomed
himself to these things and cares
not for them. He can stare the
whole world in the face and . not
twitch a muscle.
Having told all this he joked a
bit in a dry, cynical manner, and,
warming up to his subject, he dis
played a little of his oratorical
powers in a short address. He
spoke of ancient Rome, of the old
heroes, quoted fluently from
Shakespeare, touched on infidel
religion, mythology, philosphy,
geology, etc., and seemed to be
personally and familiarly ac
quainted with all these things.
He is surely a “diamond in the
rough,” and shows by his discourse
that he is a smart and learned old
individual, but owing to his total
banishment from society, he ap
pears uncouth and talks quite
strangely at times. ^
