A Phosphorescent Cat

They had billing old time at the West
End recently. MIR. Monkeys boy took
the family cat and rubbed phosphorus all
over him. 1t was about nightfall when
he completed the job and let the cat 60
The hoodoo commenced right away The
cat got into barrel and began to yowl,
and that attracted the attention of bull
dog, and he came along and danced all
around, and barked, and got terrible ex-
cited. 1t was a case of ''dog in the fight,
cat in the shadder, dog full of fight, cat
growing madden" Pretty soon the dog
upset the barrel and went in head first
after the cat
But it was surprise party for him.
The phosphorus glowed in the darkness,
and he beheld a cat of fire. He came out
of that barrel and went off bowling as
though a policeman had stepped on him.
Then the cat went up on the roof where
the other cats do congregate, and retired
to chum around with them. But it was
no go. They fed from him as if he were
bootjack. He didn't understand it and
gave chase, and there were about
forty cats on the roof, and they were all
scared and fled from him, bowling dis
mally, the noise was something fearful,
so that folks in the vicinity who heard ii
were scared and had cold sweats.
The cats continued to tear about and
yell so that it couldn't be endured Mr..

Monkey and others got up and went out
on the roof with clubs. And at first the
sight of fiery cat frightened them, and
one lady who saw it screamed and fell
through skylight and nearly killed a
man sleeping under it and made him
think Mother Shipton was right. Finally
Mr. Monkey and his friends made des-
perate charge on the fiery cat, and the
poor cat took flying leap to the street.
He lit on policeman, saving his life, but
nearly soaring the officer out of his, as he
thought he was struck ny lightning. The
cat jumped to the ground, and an astron-
omer came along and took him for an
aerolite and tried to pick him up. To his
amazement the aerolite ran. Then he
was scared, too. Finally the cat got in a
haymow and somebody thought the barn
was on fire, and they called out the en-
CINE and got seven streams turned on the
poor cat He fought well, but they fixed
him. And they told the stableman that
he was cross-eyed fool to mistake a
cats eyes for a fire, and so they left him.
All the West End is talking of the mys-
ferrous fiery cat, and only the young
Monkey understands the mystery.

MENDfNG.TaE OLD FL8G
BY WILL CARLETON

In the silent gloom of Il garnet room,
With cobwebs round it creeping,
From day to day the old flag lay
A veteran worn and sleeping,
Dinghy old, each wrinkled fold
By the dust of years was shaded;
Wounds of the storm were upon its form;
The crimson strips were faded.
Twas mournful sight in the lightweight,
This thing of humble seeming,
That once so proud DER the cheering crowd
Had carried its colorS cleaning.
Stained with mould were the braids OF gold,
That had flashed in the sun-ray'S Kissing;
OF faded hue was its field of blue,
And some of the stars were missing.
Three northern mails andthree from the glade'
Where dreams the southland weather,
With chances kind and their arms entwInei
Came up the stairs together;
They gazed while with thoughtful smile
At the crouching form before them;
With clinging hold they grasped its folds,
And out of the darkness bore them.
They healed its scars, they found its stars,
And brought them all together
Three northern maids and three from the glades
Where smiles the southland weather;
They mended away through the summer day,
Made glad by an inspiration
To fling it high at the smiling sky
On the birthday of our nation.
In the brilliant glare OF the summer air,
With a brisk breeze round it creeping
Newly bright through the glistening light
The flag went grandly sweeping;
Cleaning and bold were its braids of gold
And flashed in the sun-ray's kissing;
Red, white and blue were OF deepest hue,
And none of the stars were missing.
