The Kilkenny Cats.

During the rebellion in Ireland in
1903 Kilkenny was garrisoned by troop
of Hessian soldiers, who amused them
selves in barracks by tying two cats to-
gether by their tails and throwing them
across clothes line to fight. The off,
GERS hearing of the cruel practice, re-
solved to stop it, and deputed one OF
their number to watch. The soldiers,o on
their part, set a man to watch for the
coming officer. One day the sentinel
neglected his duty, aud the heavy tramp
of the officer was heard ascending the
stairs. One of the troopers, seizing a
sword, cut the tails in two as the ami
mails hung across the line. The two cats
escaped, minus their tails, through the
window, and when the officer inquired
the meaning of the two bleeding tall
being left in the room, he was cooliy
told that two cats had been fighting and
had devoured each other all but theil
tails. Detroit Free Press.
