There will be more or less opposition, but there
is little doubt that the bill will finally pass in
some shape.
In the House the day will be devoted to the

This is likely to be a memorable contest, as
Messrs Hurd, Blackburn, Morrison and other
strong tariff reform Democrats are listed for
speeches in favor of Mckinley, whose protec-
tionism is without faint. There are great
many Democrats here night who openly an
nounce their intention to vote for Mckinley, and
it is more than probable that he will retain his
seat. Wallace has no father with barrel

no better than that of English against Peelle

Our Pet Cat.

We have a fine large grey cat her name of
course is Tabby. Old Tab, as we call her, shows
4 great deal of intelligence about many things,
which makes her quite fayorite.
We once had some young pigs and there
came on cold snap and they all died but one; ;
and he was taken into the house. in the hope of
saving his life. Tabby had kitten at the
time. and seemed very much alarmed lest she
or her kitten should come to harm. The pig
soon set up "A terrible squeang; and Tab
seemed then to realize his pitiable condition,
and became very much interested in him. lie
was soon put into a box in the room where
Tabby had her kitten. One of the members of
the family, going into the room shortly after.
found Tabby in the box with the pig, trying
her best to quiet him, and to get him to accept
her as his mother. Her kitten would cry and
she would leave the pig for Il few minutes and
go and quiet that and then She would 90 back
to the pig and trv her best to make him com
Portable. She seemed i'll quite quandaly.
First the pig would cry. and then the kitten.
At last, thinking she could do better to have
them both together, She took her kitten into the
box with the pig.
She tried that for while. but the pig became
so boisterous. and so rough, and her kitten being
so young she thought it best to take it back to
its own box. She still tried to take care of the
pig-she seemed to think it was her duty. Mr.
pig didn't appreciate her kindness he Just acted
out his hog nature and acted very badly ;
squealing and kicking, and going through all
sorts of antics, until old Tab became thorough
ly disgusted and gave up in despair. She
looked at us with an expression that said as
plainly as looks could say: 81 have done all |
can and it's of no use to try to do any more.'
and then she left him and went to the care of
her own offspring.

About q Wise Cat.

Seeing by the Journal last week that you
would like to have some cat stories, and having
what is called a wise cat. concluded to write
what she could do and send it to you.
To begin with her name is Spot, and calling
her kitty is no good, for she will notice nothing
but Spot.
She is taught not to go into the dining room.
and no amount of coaXing will get her to cross
the door sill
When out of the room and wanting to come
in She never stands at the door and news. but
will get up and rattle the knob and continue to
do so until the door is opened for her.
She will play peek-aboo and hide and seek
and will also jump.
If anyone sits in a rocking chair and rocks
and sings she will jump into your lap and purr
her.
After we get done eating we ask Der if she
wants anything to eat, and if she does she Will
answer, and if she does not answer and we feed
her she will not touch it.
Swapping your thumb and finger at her will
make her mad and she will fly into your face.
She is also good mouser.
The bearer of this will testify to the truth of
this. for he has seen her do ill of the above
named things. A.F.C.
