A Cat and Rat Story.


A rather strange incident occurred in
Goetz Bachert's back yard, on Pearl
street, few days ago. The yard at
times appears to be the meeting place
for rodents, and on the day in question a
steel trap baited with stale cheese was
set for their reception. Several per-
sons were watching the trap. when a
large rat put in an appearance and
walked toward the trap. He was within
a few feet Of it when Mr. Bachert's
favorite cat clambered over the fence
into the yard. The rat stopped. So did
the cat. They seemed to recognize each
other. After looking at one another q
moment, the distance between them
lessened Finally they were nose to
nose. and actually kissed each other.
They remained together few minutes,
when the rat took knowing glance at
the trap, and ran away in the opposite
direction. The eat and rat were evil
IDENTIFY old friends, and the house pet

u The prospects of the Minden

promising large number OF pupils
being already in attendance. The
Principals have met with such hearty
approval and unstinted praise that
they have been very much encour-
aged to go ahead with the good
work of education. Outside of the

Of teachers, Minden Female College
is essentially a home school-the
cultivated President, Principals and
their Assistants striving to render
the life as near that of a pleasant
happy home as possible; while the
spacious grounds are especially
adapted to out-of.door exercise COM
bined with privacy, and, therefore,
particularly suited for young Ia

College is appreciated and the ener-
gy and progressive spirit of the
managementa ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS shown
by its splendid reputation and the
roll of its scholars from this and
other parishes. That it will continue
to improve so long as Col. George
D. Alexander and Prof. George O.

foregone conclusion-and, therefore,
we do not need prophets power to
predict for it a future even more
brilliant than it's past.

~ The September moon fills on
next Sunday evening, 10th. It is
the beautiful harvest moon, and pos
sesses special claims to distinction.
For, owing to the position of the
ecllptic in regard to the equator at
this season, the moon rises for sew
eral consecutive nights with only a
comparatively small interval be.
tween the successive risings. The
short autmnal days seem thus to be
prolonged by the floods of silvery
moonlight that make the night
beautiful as day. The phenomenon
is as easily explained as the axial
rotation of the earth. But in the
olden times, when man was nearer
to nature, the harvest moon was
considered a direct interposition Of
providence to assist the husbandman
in gathering in the harvest.

70 It sometimes seems as if it
were worth while to endure some
privation or discomfort or pain for
the sake of the sense of relief when
it is all past. You have been swell
tering through number of days of
extreme heat, in which you have
been tempted to think that life is
sore burden. Then the weather
changes; the air is cool and clear,
and your spirits with bound re-
dound to the change in the weather.
The refreshing GOODNESS is appreciat-
ed the more because of the discom-
fort the heat has brought. Of course
one would not deliberately seek pri-
walton that by-and-by he may enjoy
the sense of relief. There is no value
in self-inficted martyrdom in any
direction. The pain must come in
the natural order of things for the
relief to be enjoyed. But it is one
of the compensations of life that we
can SO greatly enjoy the contrast
that comes when from danger we
emerge into safety, from pain we
come into a condition of health,
from doubt and uncertainty, we at.
tain to realization of our hopes.
