A CATASTROPHE old cat had kittens
three. She toiled diligently to support them.
Brother &C. had yard full of young chickens.
They peacefully sported on neighboring gar.
dens. A pair of red birds built a nest. Eggs
were laid and fiedgeling, three or four, were
just beginning to peep over the walls of that
mud built domicil, so carefully enscoused
among the branches of the evergreen, at the
front door. In courtship's happy hours-the
happiest were passed, whilst looking at and
talking over these featherless little songsters
Many were the speculations concerning their
futurity. But right here the trouble be-
gins. 1t was on bright and lovely morning.
All were happy and wearing SMILES, till the
old cath egan the deviltry She had been
seen carrying one of those sweet morsels-a
young ehicken-from the very identical brood
of Mr.. c. to the very identical lair of these
three little kittens. At or about the same
time, in an idle moment, careless glance, too,
revealed the fact that there was nest without
brood. A scream-a couple of tears-a run
ming to and fro Oh! where is that horrible
cat, and her dirty kittens? Blood was in the
air. The war began. A stalwart young man,
with blood-shot eyes and tightly clenhed fists,
nimbly leaped the pailing fence-gazelle-like-
and the felines so sweetly snoozed close by,
on the lighting side, his crushing heel almost
hid one of that trio far beneath the sod. 1t
was forever after useless as cat He pulled it
from the ground poor mangled kitten. He held
it up by the tail, and, with looks of satisfac.
ton, gazed upon its pretty bright eyes which
his crushing heel had bursting from their
sockets. He then turned and longed for more
cat to smash. They had fled. Board piles,
smoke-houses aud hen-houses were diligently
searched. His wrath was evidently not yet
appeased. His mother told him so. He flew
to his room. He gathered his gun. OF pow
der and shot, into that gun he poured well
nigh handful, and pounded them tight. That
meant business, if he could find cap. The
cap was furnished. He gazed upon that gun,
full of messengers of death, and sailed forth
for more cats. A cat he saw. He cooked
that gun-he aimed with unerring certainty
he fired. The falal charge riddled the kitten.
The fatal gun kicked that young man on the
rosy cheek, and that cheek was made still
more rosy. He saw million stars and seven
teen spotted kittens. The cat was knocked
one direction, the man the other, but the gun
was left on the field in its glory. The cat
went bleeding to the earth-the young man
bleeding to his mother. He may live to shoot
again. His wound was tenderly dressed, as
sistance was called and the cat business vigor-
ously resumed. And now, but one poor
starving kitten remains. The red birds set
kindly to, but higher than before, and are
again prepering to rear another brood. But
that ''blasted old shotgun" is for sale For
particulars inquire of its mutilated owner.

An Old Paper.

MIR. Geo. r. Tingle left with us, yesterday,
copy of Chas. Hammond's paper, Tile Ohio
Federahst, printed at St. Clairsville in 1913.
MIR. T.. grandfather was a subscriber to the
paper, and his name written in ink in fairer
hand than belonged to Chas. Hammond, writ
ten in 1918, is still quite distinct on the mar
gin.
This copy of the FederaAa contains some
interesting news of military operations in Ger
many between Napoleon Bonaparte on the one
side and the Allied armies under the command
of the King Of Prussia and the Emperor of
Russia. Mention is made of several battles in
the vicinity of Dresden, with varying results.
The Federahst was, as was the party it repre-
sented. bitterly opposed to the war then just
inaugurated between this government and En-
gland. In discussing this question and the
action of the Government officials, Chas Ham,
mond succeeded in dropping from the point of
his pen as much bitterness as have since char
acterized the partizan press; and he exhibited
as much demagoguery as a Court honse stump
orator. Discussing the Ohio militia law, the
Fezeralist, in lengthy article marked by the
same ability, we find this paragraph:
''It was reserved for the Legislature of Ohio
to conceive the diabolcal project of placing
the poor man, whose pregnant wife and help:
less children depended upon his labor for their
bread, upon the same footing with the pamper-
ed minion Of wealth, ease and luxury"
1t seems they had 'full blooded merino
sheep" in this section of country, even at that
early period. Mr.. Bey. Wells, name famil.
lar to all old citizens of the Panhandle coun.
ties, advertised ''several" such sheep for sale.
He also offered reward of $50 for the dis
covery of the thief, and the return of Meri-
no eve, which had been stolen from his pas
ture.
DR.. J. Hughes advertised that he would
''give cash for vials." A journeyman timer,
a journeyman tailor, and an apprentice to the
printing business, made up the published
wants. The advertising patronage of the
Federatist looks as if it might aggregate $25 a
year, perhaps Wheeling Register.

Or last Friday evening, Mr.. John jackson,
of Pumpkin Ridge, was returning from the
river, and concluded his horse had sense
enough to conduct him safely through the cor
poration of st: Clairsville without any sugges-
tions from him as driver. 1t, however, proved
a mistske. He turned the corner at the Ma
tional Hotel, and walked straight down fight
ofanone steps to the stable-threw Mr.. Jack
son from the buggy, scraping his face, almost
cutting his ear from his head, breaking his
thumb, and otherwise severely injuring him.
Drs.. Hewetson and Thompson stitched his
ear on, amputsted histhumb, and overhauled
him generally, so that on Saturday he was ta-
ken to the country. Last accounts he was do
ing well.

goods, 80 as to harmonize with the de-
preston of business and values, has
been demonstrated at the One Price

been marked down to bottom prices.

lishment at Wheeling.
