Cuned by a Cat.

IL guess that rat didn't like the way
he was treated" said Mr.. Hiram
Thomas, Charlestown provision
dealer, referring to an orphan rat which
his charitably disposed cat had adopted
into her family, and which migrate
fully deserted the foster mother who
had so kindly taken it in Tout of the
wet"
A few weeks since the cat, u Maltese,
which makes her home in Mr. Thomas
Office, had two wee kittens. Evidently
ashamed or dissatisfied at having sc
small family, and feeling that she
could very easily manage and care for
a larger one, she began searching for
some little wanderers who needed the
kindly attention of mother. Not
finding one of her own species, and
happening to discover half-grown rat
whose folorn condition wrought upon
her sympathy, she promptly gathered
him in and installed him in her little
family. On the following morning Mr..
Thomas found the cat quietly snoozing
in her accustomed place in the Office,
with her two kittens and their foster
brother snugly ensconced by her side.
"For several days" said Mr., Thomas,
"she watched her adopted child just as
tenderly rs she did her own offspring,
nursing him with them and dividing
her care generously between them"
The rat was evidently happy in his
new-found home for n time, and was
apparently not disturbed at seeing his
foster mother occasionally rush out
and slay other rats. Finally the re.
straint of being ''tied" to his mothers
apron strings became irksomc to his
ratship, and he boldly cssayed to play
truant. On missing him the cat would
ut once hunt him up, and for tho first
few infractions she let him off with q
single reproof and an admonition that
little rats should stay at home and not
be running at Large, learning bad tricks
from older rats, who wickedly steal
edibles from the store and commit
other deprcdations.
Again he ran away, and when caught,
the cat, thinking it about time to assert
her maternal authority, gave him a
sound shaking up and cuaed his cars:
This was more than rat nature could
endure quietly, SO as soon rs oppor-
tunity offered the youngster made good
his escape, making up his mind that
it was u pretty smart cat that could
give him points on getting o living,
The cat Is now without family, as her
two kittens were drowned after the de-
parture of the rat.--BOst0n Globe.

The Men With the Pig.


A fow days ago two men, who werc
afterwards found 10 be Detroiters, ar
rived in u town about fifty miles to the
west of this, leading a pig. 1t was per
haps big enough and heavy enough To
be card II hog, but they termed il a pig,
and ~ they turned il over TO the care of
the landlord ~ whose inn they proposed
TO rest for the night one of the men on
planned.
"Be awful careful with that pig. He's
n daisy%a new breed just from Scot
land. We've sold him to farmer out
here for 500, and we don't want any
thing to happen 10 him.
Tho landlord locked the pig up aud
then began TO think and cogitate and
suspect, When the strangers had gone
TO bed no called in some of the boys
aud saidi .e4
ave lwiggcd the racket; them two
! fellows are sharpcrs, and that's n
guessing pig. Tomorrow they will
give you u chance TO guess ut his
weight at ten cents n guess, and you'll
be cleaned out Lonly you won't! As
the fellows sleep we will weigh their
pig and beat their game"
Nobody slept until the pig was taken
over TO the scales and weighed. lie
pulled down 10 pounds TO u hair, and
the villagers went homo and hunted up
their hickcls and dreamed Of pigs and
scales and sharpers through the re-
maindcr Of the night.
Next morning the pig was led around
in front, and before starting off on his
Journey, one OF the owners remarked TO
the assembled crowd:
"Gcntlcmcn. I'm going 10 weigh this
pig directly Maybe some Of you would
like TO guess on his weight I'll take
all guesscs. ut ten cents each, and who
ever hits il gets fifty cent"
= This provoked u large and selected
stock of winks and smiles, but no one
walked up until the pig man said that
any one person could guess rs many
times as he cared to, provided dime
accompanied each guess. Then n rush
set in Three or four merchants put
up fifty guesscs each. A Justice of the
| twenty would do for him Before there
was any let up in the guessing about
| 600 had been registered and paid for.
Every soul of EN- guessed at 10 pounds.
1t was curious what unanimity there
was in the guessing, but the pig men
didn't seem to notice it. When all had
been given chance the pig was led to
the scales, and To- his weight was en-
actly ia pounds!
"You sec, gentlemen" explained the
spokesman, while this animal only
weighs 10 pounds along about eleven
o'clock ut night, we feed him about five
pounds of corn-meal in the morning
before weightng! You forgot TO take
| this matter into considerations
Then somebody kicked the landlord,
and he kicked the justice, and the just
ice kicked n merchant, and when the
pig men looked back from distant hill
the whole town was out kicking itself
and throwing empty wallets into the
river.-DetroU Free Press.
