A SENSIBLE MAN.
Experience of Man Who Expected
Place in Washington.


Fully week before the Inauguration of
MIR. Cleveland there came to Washington
from one of the Western States a man of
good personal appearance, qualities and
character. His age was about ~ years. He
announced his intention to obtain an office
that paid not less than $1,000 year. With
out loss OF time he explored whatever
records he could find that would throw
light on his pursuit. and fixed in his mind
on one of three or four places. The
Inauguration came of, ana great
multitude came to Washington. who.
like himself. wanted something good
petition that was ahead. He put in his ap-
pltcatiOn, marshaled his influence aud
legged 1t lndustriously. At the end of ten
days he saw he was no nearer his object
than when he came, with the obstacles
growing In his path every hour. he began

and his probable chanches. Being level
headed fellow, he took walk and inspected
the cable railroad. the working oil which
interested him. He had a fancy that he
would like to be gripman. being naturally
mechanic and not disinciined 10 labor
that kept the brains active. He rode hours
every day on the grpcars, observed the
workings OF the machinery, talked with the
men whenever he got chance, and visited
the shops and power-house. The more
he saw the more he was inclined to
think the Office he would like to get was
that of gripman. He turned the influence
he had obtained to back him for Govern
ment Office into the cable headquarters. He
made good impression. His manly ap-
pearance, perfect health, above all the story
he told, all favored him. He was told be
could take hold and make a trial. Putting
good share of the money he had left into
suit of clothes of the right sort, he did
take hold with a will he did more than
well, and to-day he bids fair 10 he in the
front rank of gripmen before long. AL
though he gets considerably less than $1,000
year, he sees at least that sum in the fu-
tnre every. year. Said he few days ago:
From gripman there is chance to go up
the man who starts there has a prospect.
But with an Office in any one OF the depart

there is none whatever" On the whole he

INLOVE WITH BABY
Strange Affection Shown
by a Wildcat.
A MOTHERS HOUR OF TERROR.
She Watched Her Child Engaged in
Play With a Ferocious
Beast.
Written for The MORNING CALI

How can the peculiar action of animals
at certain times be accounted for? 1t
seems at such times as if they were acting
under the mysterious direction OF some un-
known psychic power. Who knows but
that there may be some truth in the tradi-
tion of the Brahmins about the transmigra-
tion of souls? 1t does not seem as if wild
beasts ever treat one another in any but
natural manner, and never refuse to pounce
on what they consider their prey. But
there are numerous stories of wild beasts
refusing to devour human beings wher
they might as we'll have done so as not.
The latest of this kind is told by Mr.. Ed
wards, rapcher who lives few miles
from POrterville in Tulare County.
The ranch is short distance from the
foothills of the Sierras, but wild beasts are
seldom seen there, and the family never
think of having any fear OF them. In the
mountains near by there is plenty of all
kinds of game, and the beasts seldom leave
their native wilds to come near the haunts
of man.
1t was only a short time ago on one of the
bright spring days when it was so pleasant
to stay out of doors. Mr.. Edwards little

SCARED BY A PIG.
Burglars Take to Flight When on the
Eve of Securing 100000 Cash.
Catawissa News Item.


A goose saved Rome and a pig saved the
First National Bank of Catawissa, Pa,
100000. 1t was a narrow shave, and the
happy depositors have floeked to see the
vociferous porker that scared off two skill
full safecrackers just as they were about to
lay their hands upon the bags and bundles
OF cash. People here retire early and rise
early, and so do the animals, which ac-
counts for the wandering about of an
adventuresome hog long before daylight.
Two professional bank burglars stole into
town On Friday night They had located
the First National Bank and got the ''lay"
OF the nrighharlng houses by sunlight, very
evidently. The first thing they did was to
string wires across the doors of all the
houses near the hank. They did this so
that If a noise awakened the people they
could not readily get out of theIr homes.
Then the burglars began at the bank.
Quickly they bored hole in the outer
door, unlocked ii and entered. They stole
to the sale, which contained S60,001 in
cash. They began TO pry at the door and
manipulate the combination. The thing
seemed about ready to yield, and the dar-
Ing robbers fingers must have tiagled in
anticipation of the money they were about
to grasp. just at that moment. lucky for
the bank, but unlurky for the robbers, a
pig came down the street, sQueallng as If
knife were in his throat. 1t dashed past the
bank door, and close behind it came John
Hulshzer, its owner. The pig had br9ken
from its pen and was running off. Mr.
Hnlshizer. being an early riser. was ready
to give chase. This fearful interruption
unnerved the burglars and they fled head
long from the bank and escaped. Mr.
Hulshizer did not see them, and the
attempted robbery was not discovered
until quite late the next morning. The
burglars have not yet been caught, but the
pig was, and 1t has been the object at
which hundreds of admring persons gaze.

She sat thus nearly an hour and the baby
got contrary and naughty, and would not
come to her, but con tinued its play with the
wildcat.
The minutes seemed years, but at last
wagon was heard coming IN the road, and
the mother knew the child's father would
soon be home. Her little experience had
taught her to be careful. so she went to the
front of the house and before Mr.. Edwards
got TO the doorstep she stopped him and
told him the story.
He, of course, realized that the only thing
10 do was to shoot the wildcat as quickly as
possible. He got his rife and ran to where
the child was. He found both lying down
on the ground apparently asleep. A slight
noise brought the wildcat to his feet and
at the same time Mr.. Edwards raised the
rifle TO his shoulder. 1t was hard to get
where there would be no danger of hitting
the child, and he shot as he had never shot
before, and when he pulled the trigger
bullet went into the Wildcats brain and 1t
rolled over dead.
The baby realized that something awful had
happened TO its friend, and threw itself on

dead soldier is out OF every ones way. but
wounded one needs attendance, and the
greater the number of wounded the more is
the army embarrassed in IT'S operations.
Still, while being hit by one OF these bull

been shown recently that the probabilities
Of such thing happening are no greater
with the modern rifle and bullet than with
