A Cat Rescues a Bird,

A wonderful cat story which has the
peculiar merit of being true is the follow
ing: Awoman uptown has large num-
ber of birds which she keeps in an aviary
built on to the rear wall of the house.
She also has large Maltese cat who has
proved herself so trustworthy and SO
kindly disposed toward the feathered
pets that she had had for some time free
range of the aviary whether the birds
were in their separate cages Or not.
A few days ago, while all the birds
save one were shut in their cages, the
owner heard wild outcry in his aviary.
Rushing to the door, she met her trusted
cat coming out with this bird in her
mouth. On the instant the next room
was reached, however, the cat released
her hold and the bird flew away fright
ened but wholly unharmed. On investi-
eating the cause of the sudden confusion
the woman found in the aviary stray cat
that had slipped in through lowered
sash. The house cat, seeing the danger,
had snatched the bird in her mouth, so
carefully as not to harm feather, and
carried it out of reach of the intruder.

"Do you see that little group of men, "
said drummer in Washington hotel
corridor recently, as he pointed to 6
knot of office-seekers in one corner
"They seem to be enjoying themselves
don't they? That one with the goatet
has been telling funny story"
"How do you know that that par
ticular one told it? was asked.
Because he is laughing the most,

observer of the habits and particularly

line."
"Now do you see that other man with
the clean-shaven, thin face?" he con-
tinued. "That mans from Florida, and
not only that, but he's from a rural dis
trict of Florida and is accustomed to
working on overseeing work in the fields
and brush"
"Oh, come now," said the drummer's
companion; that's little too steep.
You can't tell all that just by looking at
him. What makes you think so?"
Watch him the next time he laughs, :"
said the drummer, "and you will SEQ

his trouser legs below the knee, and

makes itself most unpleasantly and last
ingly apparent on the legs of all who
come near them. Sand fees and mos
quitoes add their attentions and on the
whole Floridian cracker gets about
as much amusement out of good
scratching as from yawn or even a
drink. Watch him now. They are
going to laugh again"
Sure enough the clean-shaven man
began to smile, then chuckled, then
roared and in his ecstasy reached over
and gave both his shins brisk rubbing
with handful of his trousers.
"Come with me-" said the drummer,

"Can you tell me, sir" he said to the

listen to their conversation. In the morn

you awake? he says to the other. The
other gives a 'tw-eet.' yes; I'm little
sleepy, though, and closes her eyes again.
But it's morning. Il don't care, says
the lazy mate, tucking her head under her
wing once more. Its time to wake up.
This time there is no reply.
''Then the other proceeds to indulge in
a morning serenade. He carols up and
down the scale. Then the second bird
pokes out her head and shakes her
feathers. It's really impossible to sleep
under the circumstances she says. 4

Came to Congratulate Him.

Hawarden, the country seat of Mr..
Gladstone, the English statesman, was
invaded one day recently by little olive
colored man making many gestures and
talking strange jargon; so the servants
arrested him as a maniac and possible
assassin. Mr.. Gladstone was summoned
to see the wretch, who turned out to be
a Greek professor, speaking no English,
who had come all the way from Athens
to congratulate the British statesman on
knowing Homer's '1liad" by heart.
