Keep u Cat.

The best way of Kidding a house Of
rats is to fill all the holes that can be
found with pounded glass and seal
them with plaster of paris and tin if
you wish. Then thoroughly clean the
premises and see that there are no
garbage pals left about to attract rats,
and secure the services of good cat,
Treat her kindly, confne her as much
as possible to the basement of the
house, SO she will keep these intruders
away, and there need be no trouble.
In large hotel or boarding house the
amount of refuse food about draws
rats, but there is no excuse for their
presence in a small house if there is a
good cat around. New York Tribune.

SHE WAS DIPLOMATIC.
4 Selfish and Annoying Traveller InvOl-
rrAn min i..nn IL, III. c.nA


The east bound Jersey Central train
on which was coming to town the
other day was crowded, and several
ladies were standing in the aisle, Being
as young as | look, unlike my neigh
Dor, gave up my seat.
A garrulous, middle aged man who
occupied the outside seat next to me,
seemingly stung by remorse and may
hap shame, but too selfish to give up
his seat, said to the lady who was stand
ing near him.
Madam, would gladly offer you
this seat, but really am a much older
man than look"
Pause for a polite refusal of that
which was not profered. But the lady
took no notice of him.
'Under ordinary circumstances con-
tend that no man should retain his seat
and allow a lady to stand. But you
would hardly believe that / am well
nigh on to sixty-one, would you2 Yet
such is the fact. People, particularly
passengers, often take me to be no
more than forty at the most, and con
sequently think ought to give my seat
to the ladies; but that is my misfor-
tune"
No response.
Il presume that you yourself are at
present the victim of your youthful
appearance just now"
He thought he noticed q faint smile.
but of this history makes no record.
81 feel confident that l am old
enough to be your grandfather" con-
tinued the willy talker, land besides
had one foot cut off and was shot in
the other in our late unpleasantness,
and have contracted rheumatism, so
that / can hardly stand, and it takes
me half day to walk mile, and |
know that under such circumstances
you will pardon my seeming impolite-
ness"
Still no recognition.
II fear lest appear rude and bold
in thus addressing you, stranger, but
owing to my extremely youthful ap-
pearance and the fact that l retained
my seat while you, madam, were
standing, felt that some explanation
was due you, and l hasten to make it. y
The lady turned her head away.
"Believe me, assure you, that if ]
were not so heavily and unfortunately
handicapped
Just then the conductor passed by,
The lady whom that human hog had
had the audacity to try to engage in
conversation in attempted excuse fol
his hoggishness without the slightest
indication that she had noticed OF
heard him, said to the conductor:
"Please, sir, eject that man. He has
been annoying and insulting me, as
these people will prove"
''That is true" said another lady
who was victim of this species of bi
peds.
So the garrulous hog was hustled
into the smoking car at a rate which
showed that his battle scared feet
were well heeIed, to the satisfaction o.
all eyewitnesses.
He had no sooner been lifted out o.
his seat than the lady whom he hat
been addressing ensconced herself in it
And thus the human hog had aftel
all Involuntary given her his seat

Court.
Antonio Foley was yesterday ordered
discharged from the workhouse by
Judge Otis. She had been sentenced
for ninety days by the municipal court
for selling liquor without license.
Otto Kreuger applied for her discharge
upon writ of habeas corpus. In the
opinion of Judge Otis the municipal
court has no jurisdiction in the case.
In memorandum the court says:
1.-The ordinance of the city under which
she was sentenced, imposes fine of not less
than $50 nor more than S100, and imprison-
ment i'll the county jail not less than thirty
nor more than ninety days. The criminal
jurisdiction of the municipal court is
limited to hearing complaints and con-
Quoting examinations and trials in crimi-
nal cases which are cogniZable before
justices of the peace or arising under the
charter ordinances, laws, regulations or by
laws. The Jurisdiction of justices of the
peace is limited to punishment by fine or i'm
prisonment, and does not extend to cases
where both fine and imprisonment may be
imposed, as in this case. The common coun-
Gil did not have power to pass an ordinance
imposing both fine and Imprisonment such
as is to be inflicted in this case, and the
municipal court for that reason had not
Jurisdiction"
The court also says that the Legislature has
not conferred such jurisdiction upon the
municipal court, and it is doubtful if it could
confer the right to exercise such power
otherwise than upon presentment or indict-
ment The municipal court only has power
to hold the prisoner in such case to answer
any Indictment found under the high license
law by the grand jury.
