Charles wiswell Of Carbonate, Lawrence
county, s. D., has cat that is king of ira
kind. Besides being q good mouser, this
remarkable feline is death 10 mountain
rats, night hawks and other small game
not long ago bringieg home as the result
Of its provinces q large jack rabbit But
the most remarkable incident in the cats
history happened day or two ago.
1t was an encounter with full grown
bird of freedom, and pussy was the victor.
The cat was sitting on pile of quartz pa
iently awaiting the temperance of q
chipmunk. which but q moment before it
had chased into hole, when suddenly the
sky above the cat became dsrkened, and
an ominous swish as if from a rapidly NOV
ing body fell upon pussy's ear. The cat
sprang aside with a motion SO rapid that
the eye could scarcely follow it, and in the
place it had occupied bat a moment before
stood full grown bald eagle, its plumsge
rutfed and thirsting for blood. Pussy had
sand and accepted the gage of battle, and
in less time than it takes to tell it, the
famous "cat and parrot time was being
re- enacted. 1t was desperate struggle,
and although pussy was pretty badly
scrstched by the eagles tslons, il, when
taking the initiative in the fight, secured
decided advantage, having landed on the
eagles back. For few moments the air
was filled with fur and feathers, and the
ground was all torn up, but pussy held on,
and in a short time succeeded in biting
through the neck of its antagonist. The
struggles OF the eagle grew weaker and
weaker, ard soon ceased altogether, and
pussy, exhsuscd by the violent exertIons
and sore from wounds inflicted by the
eagles talons, rested for moment then,
as calm as though sitting on a rug before
the kitchen hearth, went carefully over
the flied fur, made its toilet, and. seiz-
ing the body of the vanished antagonist,
drew IT with much difficulty TO the home
of its master. Laying it at the MASTER
feet, the cat purred its satisfaction, and in
this way boosted of the victory.
The combat was Witnessed by a numbe
OF people, every one Of whom expressed q
desire To buy the cat, but Mr. Wiswell
SAYS he would nor sell il for the best mine
in the Black Hills. The eagle measured
six feet four inches from the tip of one
wing TO that OF the other.-St. Paul Pion-
eer Press.

In presenting for your careful consid-
Grafton our advertisement Of Whiskies,
Wines and Liquors, we have no desire to
trcsspass upon your individual opinions and
beliefs: but the unanimous verdict of physi-
clans of all schools that pure whiskey is
the best stimulant known to Materia Med
ica" impells us in telling you how and where
you can purchase not only pure whiskey,
but where you may obtain the BEST and
PUREST liquors generally either for medi-
cal or social purposes. As a necessary
stimulant, pure whiskey is an absolute
necessity, especially SO at this season OF the
year. Its timely use counteracts the i'll ef-
feet of climatic changes on the system, and
it is invaluable ''to sustain the tagging
powers of life in disease" as stated over
the signature of one of our most eminent
physicians, (see page Is of catalogue).
AT this time of the year too, the good
housewife is bent on serving good cheer"
for the Holidays, and what indeed would the
Christmas Dinner be without its Pudding
favored with rum? its Mince Pie without
Brandy? while the hot, smoking Punch and
the steaming Toddy must not be forgotten
for they are all part Of Christmas and the
glad new Year.
Then too. friends must not be forgotten,
and there is nothing more acceptable as
Christmas offering than bottle of fine
whskey or wine
