War Between the cat and Catfish.

[From the Hoxawottamie Heraldl
 Theophilus Skimper is generally sized up as the most incompetent man in Hoxawotta- mic, but Theophilus has knocked this town silly with his cat story about the Yarn.
 Skimper hasn't but one shirt, and always goes out to the Tarn to wash it.
 Skimper had just stretched his old shirt out to dry on the end of a sunny log, when he found he'd been followed all the way from Hoxawattomie by his old gray cat with the nine kittens The blamed thing mon keyed around his ankles while, then car ried her kittens one by one to the end of log hanging over the water, and sat down by 'em and began fishing with her tail. She was having pretty fair luck when she spied q whole school of young catfish swimming up into shoa1 water. The old catfish was prob ably somewhere out in deeper water.
 Fuss made one spring and yanked little catfish out of the water. Then she ran out | to the end of the log and gave it to one of | the kittens. No sooner had she turned her back, however, to get another little catfish before the old catfish jumped from the deep water to the end of the log and yanked one of them kittens away as slick as wax. When puss came back with the second catfish the kitten which had been eating the first young
  old catfish. This made puss mad, and she
 chewed the second young catfish up before the eyes of the frantic parent.
 Insane with rage, the old catfish jumped to the end of the log, and with shrill shr1ek ! bit a kitten square in two.
 This internecine and fratricidal strife con- l tinued until the cat had eaten up all the young catfish and the catfish had eaten up all the young kittens. The old catfish had l not been able to chew all the kittens, but | had just swallowed some whole. The con sequence was they began moving and set the to afford the old catfish the most unalloyed delight and sticking her head out of the | water with broad grin, she gave the mother cat full benefit of the post mortem concert. The mother cat couldn't stand it and jumped right atop the old catfsh's back. 100 h-h!" went the catfish, and away she started across the Yarn, giving puss bath every minute or two and yelling with rage.
