He Shut ON the Cats.

The patience Of Brooklyn electrician
has been sorely tried by the nocturnal
song of cats. Night after night his we'll
earned rest would be broken by the
solos, duets and choruses which We're
given by the feline congregation in his
back yard. One night, while he was ly-
ing awake, vowing deep and summary
vengeance on his tormentors, an inspira-
ton came to him. He had heard that
the cat. like the skylark, does not sing
on the ground. 1t must climb fence
to find Inspiration for the outpourings of
Its musical soul. The electricians back
yard is surrounded by high fence,
which would invariably be studded
with dim silhouettes far into the night;
but they are there no longer. The over
wrought sufferer conceived the idea of
running a wire through which he could
send powerful current around the top
of the fence, the switch being close to
his hand. He says the sweetest mo-
ments in his life was when the first call
came and bumped its back against the
wire. He joyously pressed the button.
There was ragged, alternating current
kind of a howl, and an instantaneous
whisking of furry mass, and all was
still. Within a week not a cat would
come within ten rods of the fence, and
the ingenious Brooklynite now sleeps
peacefully.

Sheep After Hnryeat,

No species of stock will pay better
returns when turned on the stuhble
fields after harvest than sheep. says
the Iowa Homestead. They will not
only clean up waste grains left by
the harvesters, but will eat all the
young weeds and grass as well. and
will prevent the weeds from going to
seed and scattering trouble all over
the farm. They will also distribute
fertility upon the land and if kept in
this way there will be an appreciable
gain in the flock from feed that would
otherwise have been lost. This feed
would not only be lost to the fiockmas-
ter. but the noNious weeds that would
spring up in the fields, without the
sheep. would make the loss greater
than that of the gleanings of the har-
vest merely. 1t may occur to the
reader that some other stock will an
swer this purpose as well. but there
Is nothing that fills the bill in these
respects like the sheep. Swine may
get all the wheat and now and then
eat hog weed or some purslane. but
the sheep will take a clean swath. ap-
parently unconscious of the taste,
and animated only with desire to
clean up everything in its path.

A WESTERN MAN-KILLER
He Was Panied by = Reference to HIS
Proves at Dodge City.


Prowess at Dodge City.
It has often been noted by those
favored men who. in travelling about
the west, made the acquaintance of
some famous killers. that the killer was
always quietly and soberly reserved
about the homicides he had committed
and never cared to talk about them,
says the Washington Post. Charles
Bassett, who has great renown in the
southwest as gun-tighter and game
man, Is no exception to the rule. 1t
CHANGED that all of Bassett's killings
were on the side of public order and
occurred while he was an officer of the
law. For several years Bassett was
marshal Of Dodge City. Bat Masterson
was Bassett's deputy. 1t happened
more than once in Strengthening out the
destinies of Dodge that Bassett was
called on to shoot-a ceremony wherein
he was always careful to aim low. with
gratifying results. When Luke Short
who afterward killed Jim Court
wright, Texas desperado-was run
out of Dodge, Bassett was the first man
he came to in seeking help to put him
back. Having secured Bassett, Luke
Short gathered about him an array
which had record for cool nerve and
quick. sure work with a Colts pistol
that would be hard to duplicate. Short
was escorted back to Dodge by Bassett.
Bat Masterson. Wyatt carp, Bill carp,
Virgil carp, Doc Holiday, Curly Bill.
Shotgun Collins and others, who, as
stark, indomitable fighters, had as
much fame in their country as ever had
the Black Douglass or Bruce or Wal
lace in his. But as to the solemn reti-
cence of those killers when touched on
as to their bloody deeds: Bassett is and
has been for years. the manager of q
resort in Kansas City. One winter
night Bassett and several others were
standing near the big stove, drinking
and defying the weather. The talk had
drifted to the winter days of Dodge
City, when Jack Nuckols suddenly
spoke up with:
by the way, Charlie. you killed sew
eral men at Dodge City, didn't you?"
A look of pain and uneasiness came
across Bassett's face like a cloud. He
was staggered and worried and showed
1t. A profound silence fell upon the
several men present and Nuckols be-
gan to grow embarrassed. For full half
a minute Bassett looked at the ques-
toner without saying a word. Then.
as If thought had come to him that
he knew he was safe to act on, he
helped himself to drink Of whisky all
alone. When he returned he backed up
to the stove. and, surveying Nuckols,
said, in mild, inquiring tone:
well, il did it was right
Nuckols hastened to assure him that
no one harbored doubt on that point
and the subject was politely changed.
Afterward one Of the onlookers re-
marked:
"You can bet 1t bothered Bassett
when it drove him to drinking whisky

Grants Council of War,

SIN one respect Grant" said Colonel
McFall of St. Louis, who served with
him before Vicksburg, was source of
great worriment to the commanding
officers taking part in his councils OF
war;" quotes an exchange.
.'This came from his reticence during
the councils and his prompt individual
action afterward. Grant would sit and
listen to all the others had to say, smok-
ing his cigar and occasionally taking a
drink as this hospitable refreshment
might be passed around. Then, when
the talk was all over and every one had
expressed his opinion as to what should
be done, Grant would leave the tent
and go to Rawlins, his chief of staff
and begin issuing orders. No one knew
to what decision he had arrived and
they would have no idea what the next
movement was to be until their orders
were received"
