True Estimate Of the Cost Of Cat Killing
indianapolis Journal.)

indianapolis Journal)
Itrequires ten well-directed blows with an
ordinary boo;-jack to kill an average cat, and
at the distance of foot the chances are ten to
one that you miss the cat If you don't believe
if,try 1t. Secure the cat by string, one foot
long, so as to give the cat plenty Of play, and
after weeks practice you will consider this q
scant estimate for the cat. Therefore, at q
distance of one foot it will require 100 boot
JACKIE.
Bot your chances for killing the cat decrease
as the square of the distance increases. This
is an axiom in natural philosophy and fuad-
amental truth Of Technology. Therefore, at q
distance of ten feet it will require ten thou
sand
Again the force of the projectile decreases as
the square of the distance increases. Ten
square equals 100: 10,O00x10O, 100000, EQUALS
number Of b0ot-jacks on this count.
But then the darkness Of the night decreases
the chances of fair hit ten to one. Hence at
night it will require 10, 000, 900 boot-jacks.
F0urtbly the tom cat being black, decreases
the chances twenty to one, according to the
100000.
At this stage of our solution we will leave
the domain Of science and draw couple of
Fret, after a man has buried 200. 900, 900
bsot-jacks he will be old, as we shall hereafter
show, and very feeble. We have no means of
knowing how much his projecting force would
decrease or his aim fail. But at very fair al
lowance the chances from these two causes
would decrease in the ratio of 100 to 1. Count
fifth, 20,000,000,000
1t is true that 200 900 900 900 boot acks thrown
round prOmiscuously might afford almost invin-
eble shelter, but to save paper we will suppose
this to diminish the chances only as 10 to l.
Count sixth and answer, 2,000, 900 100000.
1t is true that the man might improve in his
aim, but the cat would improve equally in his
lodging.
Now, suppose Adam to have thrown, on an
average, 800 per day. This is liberal estimate
when we make no allowance for Sundays,
"bums," manding his breeches, blowing up
Eve, etc. He would have a job of Lose, 22O
years. At present the cat would be 1-186ih
dead. Or, suppose the weapons to contain one
square foot of inch pine and six eight penny
nails The lumber, third clear, would cost S26
per 900 feet. or 1920, 900 O0O Aud the nails,
ID. 400 900 600 pounds at 3 cents pound, would
cost 100000
These figures are startling. If ever a tom
cat is killed it is by a special intervention of
Divine Providence.

POETRY.
The Wickedest Man In Memphis,
BY PHILLIPS THOMPSON

ayes. stranger, you may well say go,
Such times ez last summer we mad.
LIS what tries the souls OF mortals
An sorts out the good an bad.
Thar was some we had allus reekoned
Among the whitest of men,
The salt eff the earth an so forth
Proved mighty mean cattle then.
An on the ether hand, stranger.
Thar was lnw-down folks not few,
That showed true git and courage
As ever man could do.
eyer didn't know Hank McGuffsy?
Well, faint much loss, that's clear;
The wicsedest man in Memphis
Was the name he went by here,
Gambler an drunkard an boss thief;
Spent most of his time in iai:
He was tarred and feathered in Vicksbury,
An rode out o. town ON rail.
snow, you'd have thought such fellow
Would have fled from the Yellow Death,
Would have got right up ans busted
AT a Whit of his charnel breath,
Not caring who might suffer,
Nor thought of the helpless sick,
But leaving all behind him,
Lit out on the double quick.
"1har was many as shirked thar duty,
To save thar worthless lives,
Thar was some as left thar children,
An some as shook thar wives,
But Hank-did he act the coward?
Was he one of them that slid
AS quick as thar legs could take 'em?
Yes, stranger,-YOu bet he did!'
