The earliest bank note in the posses

ed Dec. 10, 1909, for 1866. 1t is printed
from an engraved plate, but it has
blanks for the amount, date, number

memoranda showing that it was repaid

THlRTY-ThReE FEET At A BOUND.
The Tremendous Leap Made by . Hungry
Wildcat After His Breakfast.

Wildcat After His breakfast.
The wonderful power Of a wildcat is
shown in its ability to leap long dis
tanceS All of the cat tribe have i'm
mense power in their legs, and they
make up in the length Of their spring
their inability to make q continued
chase. African leopards in captivity
have been known to leap from the floor
OF the cages and strike the top, ~ feet
above. Tigers make tremendous leaps
and strike down on their prey with a
blow Of their powerful paws as they
alight But the wildcat, for its size, is
probably the most wonderful jumper Of
all the felines.
A hunter who is well known for his
veracity recently told the following
story Of an adventure which illustrates
this power:
Il was hunting in the snow and came
across the track Of a wildcat, which
followed for long distance Suddenly
the tracks came to an end in q spot
where the animal had crouched. look
ed around to see what had become Of
the trail, and away head Of me saw a
bunch of blood and feathers. From that
spot the track led on again of into a
swamp The situation was susceptible
to but one xplanation-the wildcat
had been hunting for his dinner and
had discovered pheasant wandering
about in the snow. The cat crept as
close as he dared to the unsuspecting
bird and gathered himself into an ami
mated spiral spring, such as the cat
tribe coil themselves into when prepar-
ing to spring, and releasing the trigger
shot into the air. landing on top Of the
victim before the bird. quick as pleas
ants usually are, could evade the stroke.
The distance from where the cat crouch
ed to where it caught the bird was Just
SO feet l naturally supposed from the
length Of the leap that the cat was
young and in full activity, but after
trailed it to the swamp and shot it
discovered that it was old and almost
toothless. The animals hunger may
have spurred him to the great jump. II
not, and the leap was an evidence Of
what superannuated wildcat can do,
wouldn't be surprised to learn that a
young and active wildcat could clear
ut least twice that distance when press
ed by necessity. Boston Journal.
