a Dog and Cat Misunderstanding.
From the Washington Star.

Tommy KIRBY is a cat. His habitat is on
Capitol Hill. Among his many friends and
admirers Tommy Kirby numbers a large
Newfoundland dog called Jack, who lives
at the same house with Tommy Kirby.
The two are often seen in each others
company, and on hot afternoons take their
siestas on the same back porch in the
most amiable, friendly fashion. They have
a most thorough understanding. and on
meeting after a brief separation will ex-
press their mutual satisfaction in short
cries and CALCULATIONS in their own Ian
guage, which they seem to understand per-
fectiy.
The other afternoon Newfoundland Jack
lay wrapped in slumber in the yard. Tom
my Kirby came out, and after looking up
and down the causeway concluded to go
over and visit friend named Billy, who
was himself cat of worth, and belonging
to Tommy Kirby's set. He was picking his
way across the street with that dignity
and composure that some cats assume
when he encountered a strange dog The
dog was disposed to make it case of as
sault and battery. Now, Tommy Kirby il
cat of great valor, and the neighborhood
has night after night rung with war
whoops. Instead of flying from his as
sailant he came to a full stop, made green
his eyes, enlarged his tail until it looked
as If 1t was meant to clean chimneys and
gave his back an arch of much hauteur
IHSu nc Spdl Will tACetll0R emphasis
and as one who announced himself ready
for the worst. When Tommy Kirby had
thus fixed himself. what they would in
St. Louis call his tout ensemble very
much daunted the strange dog.
Instead of rushing wildly in and rending
Tommy Kirby as he had at first proposed
he gave way to clamorous barklngs This
uproar aroused Newfoundland. Jack. who
came tearing to the scene Never HAVING,
beheld his friend Tommy Kirby In this he
roic guise, Newfoundland Jack utterly
failed to recognize him. Being a dog Of
vigorous methods he unhesitatingly as
sailed Tommy Kirby out of hand. Such
base behavior on the part of his friend
and ally was too much for the composure
of Tommy Kirby. He Strengthened the
arch out of his spinal column, lowered his
tail, and fed with a screech of panied
surprise.
Then ii was that Newfoundland JacIr
recognized him. He looked after Tommy
Kirby, while grief and Ternorse shone Il,
his eyes. He was full of apology to the
brirn. This lasted for moment, and then
the meditations of Newfoundland JaclT
took new turn. He abruptly fell unor
the strange dog, whose caitfff uproar had
gotten him into this mess, and gave him
such a trouneing as few dogs get and
which sent the strange dog bowling from,
the scene at faster pace even than thai
of Tommy Kirby. The next dav Nev,-
foundland Jack and Tommy Kirby wero
seen sedately walking the yard toeetba

The bee a. an Ally in war.
From the Hartford CONN courant

From the Hartford Comm Courant.
Capt. Evan Howell of Atlanta thinks
1t an astonishing thing that the bee was
not long ago utilized in military operations,
and says he shall prod Secretary Daniel

maker would be a great campaigner is best

Some of our men surprised a bunch of
yankee raiders one day They were In
the front yard of a big plantation house,
and the moment THY saw us streaming
round bend in the pike they leaped for
their horses. One of them, the trick yank
l mentioned, picked up a bee gum, one of a
dozen standing in the yard, and swung 1t
over his shoulder. Then he climbed into
his saddle Every jump of the horse jolted
a handful of bees out of the hive, and it
looked as they never budged, but stood
right still in the air and wondered what
had happened. And when we got up to
them they seemed to lay their troubles to
US, and pitched into us like rabid dogs.
Not one of our cavalry got further than
the first bee. The whole outfit came
streaming back and lit into us and our
horses, and made it so hot we had to turn
and fly. They just simply stung US plumb
out of the country. and the yanks got
away"
