Approaching a whale at all times
is like going into battle, notwith-
standing the abandon of the fisher
men. Have no fear that the right
whale will swallow you. He could
not do so even if he We're so disposed
as his gullet is only large enough to
admit q good sized herring. The
sperm whale could swallow a man if
he desired to do SO, but he is no more
inclined to swallow a man-particu-
larly with his clothes on-than YOU
would be to swallow a small bird
with its feathers. But he will crush
you III his pondorous jaws if he is a
lighting bull, and eject you in detail.
He will also chew up and spit out

Not Big Pay For City Men.

Two young fellows who were talk
ing pedestrian tour through the
Berkshire hills recently lost their
way after making the ascent of Mount
Everett, and at nightfall were glad
to seek quarters at a lonely farm
house. The woman III charge got up
an excellent supper, killing a chicken
for them, gave them clean, comfort
able beds and had a savory breakfast
ready in the morning When they
asked how much they should pay her,
she replied in a deprecating way
that as times were little hard she
would have to charge them more
than they might like to pay, but 123
cents apiece would be satisfactory.
She was astonished when they gave
her 81, and probably thinks to this
day that she entertained Vanderbilts

oEAT4 Or A KNOWING CAT.
A Connecticut Feline That Was Universally
Liked and Pctted.


Tommy Tucker is no more Hart
frd's well known cat bid farewell to
earth afteran eventful life of Is years.
Few cats enjoy the honorable career
that had geen the lot of Tommy
Tucker. When a little mite Of kit
ten, with no claim to pedigree and
with no home, he wandered into the
paper wareTooms of E. fuckers
Sons, ON Trumbull street. He made
friends, and from that day until his
death he found comfortable home
Only once in all his life did he leave
his home for q brief interval Two
years ago he was locked out one
night Not approaching what he
considered an injustice, he started
for the home of Mr. Tucker on Ed
wards street He failed to reach the
home of his master, and also lost his
bearings as to the location Of the
store For seven days he was not
seen at the warerooms, when he was
returned by lady who found him
and recognized him as Tommy
Tucker. During the seven days he
lost seven pounds Of flesh His Joy
at finding his home was manifested
as only a cat can show JOY,
Tommy was a handsome cat. He
was of the tiger variety, with a good
showing of long white fur. His nose,
breast and front feet were white.
which We're kept scrupulously clean
at all times, as wen as the rest Of the
body The light and dark marking
was sharply defined and the features
were strong. The eyes were bic and
bright as new Columbian half dol
lars and the whiskers long. Tommy
when in his prime weighed II pounds.
In his old age he weighed somewhat
less.
Tommy could perform many tricks
and seemed very fond of his ac-
complishments. He would shake the
hands of visitors and sit up when
asked to. He was especially fond of
ladies and in suitable weather would
sit in front of the store to receive the
attentions showered upon him by the
admiring passersby. When young
Tommy was fed with milk, and each
morning bowl was placed in front
of the store with cents to pay the
millIman, it was the custom of the
cat to look into the bowl to make
sure that the money was not forgot
ten. AT times when the dust was
blowing acover would be placed over
the bowl. Tommy was bound to find
out if the nickel was III the bowl, and
would push the cover off. If the coin
was seen, he would rest content until
the mllkman arrived, but if the bowl
was empty he would make the fact
known by an unusual activity be-
tween the Office and the store front
Hartford Times.
