CAT AN EXPERT
Has Learned Meaning of Line in
Water, and Has the Patience of
the Perfect Angler.
Cats are known to be fond of fish,
but it Is not every cat that is willing
to go out and catch enough fresh fish
to furnish his own meal and supply
the family breakfast table with the
same food. Such an animal exists in
Miami, Fla. however, and daily
watches a hand line which his owner
places in the water. When the cork
bobbles the cat dashes to the office of
an amusement company and sets up
a loud mewing. Following the cat's
footsteps to the place where the line
has been dropped, whoever is on duty
at the office hauls in the fish to the
tuneful purring of the proud and sat-
cat. Some months ago the cat
chanced to be on the dock when a
was pulled In. He learned that his
favorite food came from the water and
was caught on the end of a line.
Since that any line with one end In
the water and one on the dock has
been a source of unfailing interest to
the cat. The cat's patience would put
the renowned Izaak Walton to shame,
for he will spend hours sitting by a
line without stirring. Sometimes the
cat will sit by the side of a fisherman
and will tell his human companion by
his mewing when a fish is beginning
to nibble at the bait before the fisher-
man has suspected that the bait Is
being dallied with.

PITT FAIR
There have been heard many regrets
that Pitt county did not hold a fair
this year. After the successful fairs
of 1911 and 1912, the absence of one
this year was all the more noticeable.
Circumstances arose this year that
could not be overcome in time for the
fair to be held, hence It was abandon-
ed. If a fair Is to be held next year,
and by all means one should be, there
is no time to lose In beginning

well to bear mind that U is not

mainly because there so much to
read that it Is difficult to let the mass
go and concentrate on one author, one
book, one page, one word. A fine old
classical professor used to grow In-
at proposals to teach boys to
read Greek like English; it would be
more to the point, he said, if we could
teach boys to read English like Greek.
We can hardly expect them to forget
mother tongue for the sake of
learning to pay proper attention to the
of a good book, yet there is
something In this view; much of the
benefit of the classics comes from be-
forced to pay attention to details.
Such careful study is quite possible in
English, but the temptation is to skim
over the surface.

about the way they are oppressed by
the income This is one of those
natural phenomena which no scientist
has been able to explain.
Incomes vary In size according to
how many people have worked for you
in the past or are working for you at
present. No Income is without honor

is generally despised and looked down

NORFOLK. Dec. burial of
Lloyd Gordon, whose death occurred
Saturday, took
cemetery yesterday. There was no
funeral and the burial was made ac-
cording t- wishes of the deceased
to far as It practical to carry
these out.
Mr. Gordon asked that he be not
buried in a coffin, but that his body
simply be wrapped up in a cloth and
laid to rest mother earth with only
a board covering over his face. The
request was complied with to the ex-
tent that a grave was dug
ed and the two sides of a
ed box were placed on the Bides of the
grave. There was no bottom and the
body was laid to rest on mother earth
as the asked. A lox top
was neatly laid over the sides of the
grave, the dirt thrown In with the
grave covered over.
There were no carriages nor mourn-
The body was carried In an
basket and at the cemetery
was lifted from the basket and de-
in the ground as described.
Lloyd Gorden was quite eccentric
No such peculiar burial has
in this section since that of John C.
P. who lived in South Ports-
mouth, and requested that he be
buried on Ills home lot under a tree
at midnight. The request was com-
piled with.
Mr. Gordon was for many years In
the hat business Norfolk, being at
one time associated with J. W. Gilmer
the latter conducted Norfolk's
leading hat store on the site of what
is now the Miller, and Swartz
Main street store.
Lloyd Gordon was known to
all the older residents of Nor-
folk. He was affable, agreeable man
and was well liked. He was frugal
and saved some money, leaving prob-
ably when lie died a small estate. He
bought and sold lots and for a long
time was the owner of a very
cottage at Seventh street,
Reach, Which he sold only a
year or so ago. He had an Interest ii

lived until Ills death.
Mr. Gordon bad been In poor health
for some years past, but until a few

Children's Valuable Find.
A group of children playing In a

what they thought was a valueless
medal. They found others the
same way, and played at keeping shop
with them. The coins were
pieces of the early part of Queen
Victoria's latest was dated
the report getting about
people hurried flocked to the
search for more. A party of
colliers even deprived the children of
with the tale that were
going to give them to the police. Al-
together, It Is thought, about fifty
were collected, but the police, who
when they heard of It went round the
district collecting the coins, only re-
gained about thirty of them. The ex-
given Is that In the early
sixties of last century a Bolton man-
was robbed on the highway
not far from the toll-bar which used
to exist hereabouts. But as, accord-
to local history, the highwayman
got clear away and was never traced.
It is difficult to Imagine why he should
have troubled to bury the money.

Incomes are now being taxed. It is,
therefore, desirable that something
should be known about them. An in-
come is anything you cannot
live upon expressed In terms of law-
money. Lawful money is anything
which will be accepted by the
of a state legislature, or a police
captain, or your wife. Incomes were
created for two purposes; to He about
and to live beyond. Many people who
will not have to pay any are complain-
to their friends and neighbors
about the way they are oppressed by
the Income tax. This is one of those
natural phenomena which no scientist
has been able to explain.
Incomes vary In size according to
how many people have worked for you
in the past or are working for you at
present. No Income is without honor
somewhere, except in the family it is
vainly attempting to support. Here It
generally despised and looked down
upon.
An income tax Is an effort on the
part of the government to make you
feel that you are wealthy. Also to
support the government in Its main
business In life, namely, living beyond
