CAT AND coPPERHEAD.

The Formers Science and Dexterity Too
Much for the Snake.
Joseph Brown, who drives the stage
between Galeton and Germania, Pa,
while on a recent trip, noticed q cat
stealing along through the grass at the
roadside, three miles from here. Brown
stopped his horses and watched the cat
to see what she was after. He glanced
ahead of the cat and saw large pilot
snake, or copperhead. lying in the grass
q few feet away. 1t was toward this
poisonous snake that the cat was steal
ing. Brown at first thought he would
get out and kill the snake, but con-
cluded to see what the cat would do
with the deadly reptile, or what the
snake would do with the cat The lat
ter stole slowly upon the snake, but it be-
came plain to Brown that the snake
was not to be taken by surprise. for it
had its glittering eyes fixed on the cat,
and was making itself ready for fight
When the cat had approached to within
foot of the snake she raised one paw
and held it straight out toward the pi-
lot. In flash the snake struck 1t tbs
paw, but the cat was still quicker than
the pilot, and whiskcd her paw away.
The snake missed it, and as quick as
lightning the cat brought her other fore
paw nto play, and with it she dealt
he snake blow that knocked it afoot
r more to one side. the cats sharp
naiis tearing deep scratches in the
snakes neck, from which blood began
to flow instantly. The pilot was evil
IDENTIFY greatly surprised at the result
of the round. but, maddened by the
cats attack, turned again for fight.
Again the cut presented her left paw
as a feint, and again the pilot was
fooled by il, for his vicious strike was
avoided again by the cats quick
maneuver, and again the snake re-
ceived the cats terrible right-hande
alongside his head. These skillful tao
tics of the willy cat were repeated four
times with the same result. and then
the pilot, weakened and thoroughly
spiritless, turned and would have
dragged itself off the field. But the
cat sprang upon the retreating reptile,
and with two or three thrusts and vici-
GUS strokes with her claws tore the
venomous snake to pieces. She oar
ried the carcass to the garden Of .
horse near by, where she dug . hole
and buried it.-N. Y. Sun.

AFRAID OF PROHIBITION.

The Kansas City Star is democrat
ic sheet. 1t is printed in democratic
Missouri but tones its democracy down
. very great deal from the fact that
eight-tenths of its readers live in radi-
cal republican Kansas. The Star talks
high license for Missouri and prohibi-
ton for Kansas because of the combin-
ed facts above alluded to. The Star in
its Mondays issue says that the only
hope for prohibition in Kansas is in the
republican party. just SO. If the
Eagle had a majority of Its readers
among the red-nosed democrats of Mis-
souri it might with equal propriety. but
no less Of hypocrisy, exhort its whisky
soaked patrons down there to stand by
the party Of which the Star is the or
gan. There would be no principle in
such advise, but there would be policy
in it. But the Star sees yet more in
its advocacy Of prohibition for the re-
publican party in Kansas. The Star
looks at Kansas through spectacles bor-
rowed from the democratic victory up
in Iowa, where primarily, prohibition
has wiped out the republican party, and
the Star fears that the republican party
Of Ksnsas might. next year, conclude
to let the prohibitory law take It's
chances with other laws anu refuse to
put it into the state platform. That's
what the matter with the Star as it
regularly rubs the rounded belly of its
entire editorial staff up against the couu-
ter of the nearest high license Missou-
ri bar and drinks to prohibition in Kan
sas.-Wschita Eagle.

the barber ratified on about the big
