A FIy-wheel Cat.

Neac Huren Journal and Courier, February 6.
A white cat which was about Winchester's
shop was missed recently. In the forging
department of the drop shop is an upright
engine where the blowing Is done for the
forges. The other morning the man started
his engine. and locking about he noticed
something on the fy-wheel. The wheel was
making great number of revolutions per
minute-going so fast that the spokes were
invisible. He did not make out what 1t was,
but paid no particular attention to it, as he
thought 1t was the sun shining on the wheel.
Glancing that way occasionally, he noticed
the same thing severaltim Hestarted the
engine at seven o'clock, and at about $50,
noticing the object again on the wheel, he
thought he wsuld stop the engine and see
what it was. He did so and got over where
1t was, and found Ii was the white cat cling
Ing to the wheel. There the cat had been
hanging on for two and half hours. He
took the cat down, and found It had become
cross-eyad. He put the cat in box and
cared for 1t, and In about two or three days
il began to get around and its eyes COM
menced to have their natural look. Inaboui
= week II came to the room Of the foreman
J. D. Eager, branch of the forge depart.
ment. Mr.. Eager fed 1t and commenced u
train It. The animal reciprocates the kind
ness shown, remaining about the forge Il
the time and evincine quite IN interest in tht
business, and i quite pet among the work
men.

Kansas Sketches

A pretty good story Is told about Land
Agent Miller Of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad, who one day had . party
Of eastern farmers in tow, trying to sell each
of them farm In the rich Arkansas valley.
Miller had taken them into his spring wagon,
and behind his spanking team Of bays had
given them grand ride, lasting all day. He
had done his best to make them enthusiastic
by rehearsing the stories, which he had at
tongues end, of the marvellous crops Of the
valley, but to all intents 1t was "love's labor
lost" for they would not thuse. This an
noyed Miner, but he had his revenge In his
reply to one Of the party, who, with sar.
donic smile, asked:
aWell, Mr.. Agent, Is there anything that
won't grow here?"
aYes," replied Miner, spumpkins won't =

Cunning or Rats.

II Is astonishing how cunningly and quick
ly rats will run along the hawser of ship
xttached to another ship In order to search
for more food than they could procure In the
ship they had just left. This 10 generally
done In the night, but the migration has been
witnessed in the daytime. When rats have
devoured all the food in barn, they will
migrate In considerable numbers to another.
A clergyman once witnessed one Of these
migrations, and saw an old blind rat holding
short bit OF stick In bis mouth, and another
rat holding the other end; In this way the
blind rat was conducted safely along. The
contrivances of rats to procure food are
sometimes very extraordinary. They have
been known to insert their tails Into an oil
flask and then lick off the adhering oil until
the flask was emptied, or at least until their
tails could reach the oil no longer. II has
also been ascertained that they have made
deposits Of eggs In some concealed place, a.
future stock OF food. They were conveyed
without breaking them In novel manner.
A large rat would lie on his back and clasp
the egg with his four paws, while the others
would pull him along By his tall.

Death of Mr.. James.
Bill Nye's Boomerang.

We are once more panied to announce the
death of Hon. Jesse James. We speak of
him as Honorable Jesse James because 1t is
possible he may not be dead yet, and we do
not desire any old personalities raked up in
case he should be still at large.
The regular semi-annual death of Jesse
James has been cause for national sorrow
for some time. His obituary has been writ
ten seven or eight times by the faltering
hand that pens these lines, and We are still
young.
Death has marked Mr.. James for its own
a good many times, and now he has been
again butchered to make Missouri holiday.
The soil from Maine to California has been
waves above his ashes In every portion of
our great land. No man has perished from
the face of the earth so ubiquitously as Mr..
James, and no American citizen has yielded
up his young life under such varied and Pc
culiar circumstances.
! Lay him low where the bobolink blossoms
on the sweet potato vine, and plant him In
the valley where the pecan waves.
Born of humble and obscure parents, he
rapidly rose to the proud eminence of Amer
ica's leading thief and murderer. When
death marked him as Its victim the last time,
he was as prominent man as Henry Ward
Beecher or Roscoe Conkling. His genius
took a different shoot, 1t is true, but he won
a name as a plunderer which throws the
proud achievements of our modern bank
cashiers back into cold and clammy oblivion.
| Death has once more stilled the pulse of a
man who, were it not for his little eccen-
tricities as a human butcher and grand lar
cency connoisseur, would have made an ele-
CANT humorist or statesman.
Had he been less of an enthusiast and less
radical as a murderer, he might have shone
in the best society. Had he plead emotional
insanity the first time he got sp a surprise
funeral, instead of making an outlaw of him.
self, he might now be alive, loved and re.
spected. But he was ignorant of the law
and thought that when a man murdered all
the frst-class passengers on train he would
be dealt harshly with and ostracised. Thai
is where he committed a grave error. He
went from bad to worse, and soon he lost al
respect for himself.
Yellow fever and the James boys have
