Old Cato was Nervy /.

In an old southern city, years be-
fore the war, as an old resident Of
that city mentioned to a small CO.
terie of friends recently, there lived
an old bachelor doctor whose place
of abode was in a part of the med
ical college of which he was dean,
president and head center gener-
ally.
The old gentleman was well off
in this worlds goods, very sociable
of disposition and entertained quite
literally in his apartments, which,
Notwithstanding the then grewsome
locality, were spacious and cheerful.
Olc evening when the doctor was
giving u supper to few friends the
conversation turned upon personal
courage, and the doctor mentioned
with pride the superabundant guam
tity of pluck in his old body servant
Cato.
"There's nothing in the world or
out of it that can scare old Cato"
the doctor asserted, and he was will
ing to back up this assertion to any
extent whatever with anybody who
would bet OH it.
There was among the jovial par
ty around the board that evening an
excellent ventriloquist, and he asked
the doctor if there were any cadavers
in the college.
1.-TWO" said the doctor.
"Well, you send Cato into the dis
secting room, and Ill scare him
white" said his friend.
II was agreed. aud after dinner
for six had been wagered on the ex-
pertinent the old darky was called
in, aud the doctor said: Cato, there
are two bodies in the dissecting
Alpena argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1893-1909, 1894-08-08

room. Go in there and bring me
the head of one of them"
Cato started on the mission, and
the ventriloquist stationed himself
IN near proximity. A proviso was
that Cato was to have no light, so
he went into the dark room, walked
up to one of the cadavers and began
operations.
"Let 60 my head" said voice in
deep, sepulchral tones.
"All right. sar,' said Cato
"Reckon Marse Doctor amt tick
lar, and fodder gentleman'll do jis'
as WE'LL Then he left that corpse
and began work on the other.
LET 60 my head,' greeted him
again in awful tones.
"Kain't do it, marse," said Cato.
doctor told me ter git one, and |
mus do it,"
A pandemonium of voices, Groans,
cries aud threats filled the room, but
Cato persevered, hacked off the head
and started out, when he wac assailed
with:
Bring that head back! Bring
that head back" in agonizing cries.
But the old darky didn't finch
He took the head to the doctor.
"Here It's, Marse Doctor" he said,
"but please get froo soon, cause de
gentleman wants it back, and I'll
give it to him jes' soon's you'se froo
looking at de bumps"
Cato's reputation for pluck was
firmly established. and the doctor
won the dinner.--W ashington Post.

and so swiftly that the eye caught
no second glance. All at once there
was check, and right before us a
soldier was shot to the surface. 1t
was Corporal Herts, who was prob
ably further up the pass than any
other man. He popped out of snow
head first and at full length, and for
perhaps five seconds was within ten
feet of us and looking squarely into
our faces. He was bareheaded, his
overcoat gone, and his face bleeding.
He knew what had happened, and no
doubt realized his peril, but as he
stood there, saved for the instant,
up went his hand in salute to the
lieutenant. AS his arm dropped he
disappeared from sight. 1t was dis
cipline III the face of death--an in
stance that will never have its coun-
terpart. Out of that narrow, rocky
pass poured the tide with a fury
which scraped it as bare as floor
and tore great rocks from its sides.
At the west mouth the snow filled a
ravine fifty feet deep, and then pour
ed out on the plain for a quarter of
mile. 1t was no use to look for
the bodies. Five hundred men
could not have moved the mass in
a fortnight. Twenty-four men
were buried there. 1t was idle to
hope that any of them still lived
Along in the last days of June we
found them, one after another, and
even then we had to dig. The snow
would have smothered them as it
rushed down, but with the snow
came rocks which crushed some of
them to pulp. The corporal who
had saluted as he looked into the
eyes of death was the last one
found. He was at the bottom of
the ravine, the body without shred
of clothing, and the arm he had
raised had been torn from it's sock
ct as he was whirled along with that
grinding mass.

White Lead as a Preservative.

The advantages of using genuine
white lead for painting surfaces, es-
pecially iron work, have been known
for years, but an instance mention
ed by Sir William Arrol will serve
to impress the fact on the memory.
Some years ago he purchased the
materials of old Hammersmith
Bridge for the purpose of using a
portion in erecting temporary
plant at one Of his large undertake
ings. The iron work had been in
position sixty-two years, and many
of the parts, owing to inaccessibility,
had not been painted since they
were placed in position. Finding
them in so remarkable a state of
preservation Sir William Arrol had
some of the paint analyzed, when it
was found to be genuine white lead.
