Takes Pains TO ynvite Friendly pvertures
and Responds with Bi'c
You had better look out for your
hand. sir, Tom is a pugilist." This adj
vice was spoken by gateman at the
Union depot. Cleveland, and was ad-
dressed to a benevolent looking old
gentleman who had stopped down to
pet large Maltese cat
"Oh. he seems to like me, answered
the gentleman II make il a rule TO be
friendly with all dumb animals, and
firmly believe that they appreciate kind
treat" - But at. this instant the cat
suddenly rose up on his hind legs and
struck out simultaneously with his
barbed forepaws, grasping one OF the
old gentleman's ungloved fingers be-
tween his teeth and giving It a sharp
bite. Satisfied with the result of his
attack, willy Tom scampered away across
the tracks, and from the other side of
the depot watched the old gentleman
bandage his bleeding hand with ia hand
kerchief.
That's an old trick OF his, said the
gateman to a reporter vito was stand
ing near by. HE will Iheander up TO
his victim in a most innocent manner
and play about his feet. Nine out of
every ten persons will take this bait and
be bitten by Tom do not believe
that he uses his claws and teeth out of
ugliness, but for sport. Notwithstanding
all this, Tom is liked by every person
working in the depot. No matter how
well we become acquainted with him,
however, he can never be trusted.
Some time ago I ilattered myself that
Tom was my friend, but one day was
awakened to the true nature of his
friendship when got badly scratched
hand"
"Who owns him9" asked the reporter
That is question open to discus
sion, replied the gateman. "W. j.
Akers, the proprietor of the dining
room, claims him, as does also lady
living on Prospect street. The cat
came to the depot several years ago,
and Mr. Akers claimed him from the
first. However, about a month after
his coming the Prospect street lady
happened TO be at the depot one day,
and when she espied the cat she
screamed in a ladylike manner, and
claimed that he belonged to her and
had run away from home We gal
Iantly waived our claims of ownership
but Tom, while showing signs of recog
! milton, would not go with the lady
"He is very intelligent, and knows /,
, minute the time of arrival of th
trains bearing milk He is always givel
a large allowance of the milk, and /
: disappears in remarkably short spac
of time. He will not eat meat, bu
loves bananas, and will beg for tn
fruit at the lunch counter for hours a
a time. Occasionally Tom jumps int
. a baggage or mail car and when
: leaves the depot he remains on boart
and we do not see him again until |

take at the depot in Cincinnati, bu

yard the other day which concerns Rear
Admiral Thomas o. Selfridge, retired,
who is visiting his son, Captain Thomas
0. Selfridge, the commandant of the
navy yard. Some years ago the ad-
miral, who is the Oldest living United
States naval officer, being over ninety
years of age, was dining at Delmonico's,
in New York, with a distinguished
company, among whom were Generals
Grant, Garfield, Arthur, Sherman and
Sheridan. AT 10 o'clock, when the fes-
tivities were at their height, tho old ad-
miral arose from the table and called
for his hat and coat. All were sur
prised at his action and asked for an
explanation He replied that he never
permitted enjoyment to interfere with
his health, and that 10 o'clock was a
good hour for him to retire.
All present laughed heartily, chaffed
him a little and begged him to remain.
He could not, however, be coaxed to
remain. After bidding them good
night he added, Early to bed and
sound sleep tend to longevity and I'm
going to prove it to you all" All ex-
cept the admiral who were present at
the banquet that evening have passed
