"Happy Family."-Strange Freak Of 4
FavOrite Cat.
S. B. Worthley of this city vouches for the
truth of the following: His nephew recent
ly found a nest with twelve young rats.
These he placed in a basket, and presented
them to the family cat, who is the mother
Of two small kittens. Pussy pounced upon
the innocents and devoured ten of them.
Then taking the two remaining rats in her
mouth, she carried them TO the basket and
tenderly placed them beside her own young,
and there they remain, living in harmony,
and drawing sustenance from the breast of
much solicitude for the safety and comfort
of each new protege as she does for her own
offspring.

place to visit was the Standard Office. In a

adjourned to room No. IL, Augusta House,

they remained for several hours, probably
talking over the changes and manipulations
in returns last fall, and theway in which they
counted in fusion members. The council
broke up, and the members returned
home on the IL and 9 o'clcc ok Pullman.
A singular coincidence connected with the
affair is that on the evening in question a
lady on Western Avenue had her clothes line
relieved of three handkerchiefs, two sheets,
several blue flannel shirts, and about dozen
neatly hemmed articles, indispensable to a
baby's toilet.
