DEFUNCT FELINE
CAUSES MIX-UP

New York, July 27.—When a cat be
comes too defunct for further useful
ness to whom does It belong? This
question Is agitating three departments
of the city of New York. The cat li
becoming more and mope defunct ev
ery minute and a certain fashionable
apartment house In West Fifty-fifth
street Is threatened with an exodus.
The health department declares that
any apartment bouse with fewer than
ten families In It Is outside Its juris
diction in the matter of removing such
Has-been' cats. The tenement house
department declares that the board of
health must take charge of the case,
and both departments put It up to the
building department to decide.
In the meantime,the janitor of the
apartment hotel does not dare remove
the cause of all this mlx-up because
another law provides serious penalties
and pains for such careless dlstribu
lion of barren Island perquisites.
The police department referred the
matter to the building commissioner
to decide. The building departments
said that It has nothing to do with any
tenement house after the brick, stone
and steel are put together.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
JESUS DINES WITH A PHARISEE )•
By DR. G. A. BEATTIE
LUKE xlv: 1-14
Golden Text—He that humblath him
salf shall be exalted.—Luke 14: 11.
The Incident recorded In this lesson
occurred during the Perean ministry
of (?hri»t, near the close of Hie life.
One Sabbath n prominent Pharisee
Invited Him to dine with him. Why
he did so can only be conjectured,
may be safely assumed that It was
not to give Him social recognition or
receive Instruction, or like Simon, th©
leper, by this act egpresa hla gratitude,
but for the sole purpose of entrapping
Him. At this distance It looks like a
plot had been laid. When the people
make a dinner party It la customary to
Invite those who are congenial and
only those who are friends of the prin
cipal guest. On this occasion the
friends and followers of Jesus are not
Invited, but those whorare His most
relentless and bitter enemies, who, we
are told, watched Hla every word and
act. To eat bread on the Sabbath,
as a guest, was a common thing. The
only rule observed was that every
thing was served cold, having been
cooked on the previous day. As far as
the record goes, Jesus never refused
on Invitation to a meal anil once at
least, In the case of Zaccheus, Invited
himself. He embraced even - oppor
tunity to reach and teach the people.
He did so at the risk of being called a
glutton. No matter whether He feasted
or fasted, whether He spoke ■ ''ept

It for the physical rest and spiritual
refreshment God designed It should
give and we do no violence to Its
spirit when we perform deeds

Advice to tho Guests.
Having silenced the Pharisees, Jesus
would give some wholesome advice to
tho guests. In our day when the king
or the president of the .United States,
with others who have been Invited,
meet at a feaet, much care Is taken
In' selecting the seats of the guests.
Every one must be seated according
to hla rank or position. But then
seems there was a scramble for 'the
highest seats. We are told the con
ceit of rhe Jewish doctors of the law
was Intolerable. Farrar quotes from
the Talmud how. at a banquet of
King Alexander Jnnneus, the rnbbl.
Simon ben Shetarh, In spite of the
presence of some great Persian satraps,
had thrust himself at a table between
the king and queen, *nnd when re
buked for hla Intrusion, quoted In his
defense Eccl. ir>:5, “Wisdom shall
make thee alt among prlnres.”
He tells them when they are at
wedding not to select for themselves
the highest seats, lest afterward they
should be requested to take a lower
seat and thus be humiliated, but to
take a lower seat and afterward be In
vlteil to go up higher.
He that humlileth himself shall be
exalted. These words express the eon
tral truth of Christ's parable. Jlow of,
ten It haa been llluetrated In the his.
tory of the world In every department
of life. The ambitious self-seeker has
been turned down, while the modest,
unselfish, humble man has been called
up higher. The greatest men have

And when He had healed him, He
silenced them ngnln by asking. "Which

the Sabbath day?" This was not the
first time their Sabbatharisnlsm had
courted a controversy which always
ended In their discomfiture. The others
of that kingdom.
This truth Is especially applicable
to those who belong to that kingdom.
Christ often applied It to His own dis
ciples. He had told them that who
ever would be greatest must be the
servant of all. He llluetrated It by
waahlng His disciples' feet. "Ile.eame

Mrs. Hartje left the court room In
company with her constant friend and

her aide since her troubles began. Out
side the.court-house there was a crowd I
of probably a thousand curious people.
most of them gathered just to get a
look at the womnn who haa suffered so
much notoriety.
Just as s)ie reached the corner of the
court-house a big fellow, who looked
like an Iron worker, reached out from
the crowd, and, catching Mrs. Hartjs
by the arm, dragged her across the
linvement, at the same time calling
out loudly:
"Come with me, Mary."
With a acrenm of terror, Mrs. Hartje
broke away from her aaaallant and
started to run down the street to her
attorney’s office, a block away. The
crowd was an paralysed at the sudden
and unexpected attack that not a hand
