ted States general appraisers has rem
dered a decision denying the appeal of
Bour & Bouillon. importers, in regard

labor instead of rest. All day long
throngs of people have been upon the
streets viewing the scene of yester-

the burnt district the embers of yester-
day are still smoking, and in many
places the fire has not diminished to
any great extent The coal bunkers
of the Northern Pacific railroad are
still burning at a lively rate, and the
indications are that the fire may last
for several days yet, as many hundreds
of tons of coal lay in the burning heap.
The forenoon was spent in tearing
down dangerous walls and in removing
every possible structure which might
cause an accident. At 4 o'clock this
morning a track had been laid around
the ruins and the passenger and freight
trains have been running the same as
usual today. Everything in the shape

AN ODD PAIR OF PETS.
Naturally Antagonistic, They Became
tho Cioecse Friends

thc SlOoCSf trtCndB,
Gorley Phelps, a farmer living two
miles east OF Fort Niagara, on the
shores OF Lake Ontario. has an odd
pair of pets. They are cat and a rat.
They are the best Of friends. they cat
together, sleep together and play TO-
gether. The cat is big Maltese tom,
with bushy tail and sharp claws. He
Is years old, and was raised from a
Kitten. The rat Is is months old.
Last September year ago Mr..
Phelps tore down an old workshop In
the rear of his house. In an old boot
there he found nest OF rats. Tho
mother of the Maltese tom killed tho
parent rat, and later ate two of tho
children. The third baby rat stole into
tho pocket of Mr.. Phelps cont, where,
at the end Of three days. Mr.. Phelps
found 1t. Mr.. Phelps at first intended
to kill 1t. but the rat seemed so tame
thnt he decided to make 1t Il household
pet.
The rat grew rapidly on meat and
cheese eating out OF Its owners hand.
It's life was In constant danger OH ac-
count of the number of cats about tho
house. MIR. Phelps put the rnt In Il
small cage, ana placed the cage In n
large box made of wire screens. Tho
cats made frantic efforts to get at tho
rat. The Maltese tom, however, mere.
~ smiled at the screen ana walked
away. This behavior decided Mr.
Phelps To try to conciiatc Tom and tho
rat. He put Tom inside tho screen. Tom
made several hnlfheartcd attempts to
get tho rat out Of the little cage, and
then stretched himself out md went to
sleep.
Every day for three weeks Mr.
Phelps put Tom in the big cage, aud the
rat, wl.!ch he named Cheese, into the
small cage. Daily cnch became more
accustomed TO tho others presence.
One day he opened both cages. Tom
and Cheese squared themselves as II
for an encounter MIR. Phelps threw
some bits of meat between them. They
hcsitntcd. then both began to cnt. From
that tlmc tho two have been warm
friends.
They live together In the cage. BY
day they wander about the house or
into the adjoining country store, which
Mr.. Phelps OWNS. Each is very jealous
of the other. If anyone pots Tom,
Cheese runs about squcnlilng and OK
nsperatcd. If Cheese Is tho favored
one, Tom murmurs his dsapprovnl, and
arches his back and hrlstlca his tnil. ] (
they nrc separated they run about
hunting here ana there until thcy find
each other. when they dance and jump
with slcc. Mr. Phelps has large
show window In his store. Tom and
Cheese spend much of their time in it,
ana the spectacle of these natural enc
mics living rs friends attracts much
attcntion.-New York World.
