CAT AND DOG FRIENDS.
A Slight Misunderstanding Which
Was Satisfactorily Explained.

Was Satisfactorily Explained.
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
express their mutual satisfaction in short
cries and calculations in their own Ian
guage, which they seem perfectly to under
stand. The other afternoon Newfoundland
Jack lay wrapped in slumber in the yard.
Tommy Kirby came out and, after look
ing up and down the causeway, concluded
to go over and visit a friend named Billy,
who was himself a cat Of worth, and be-
longed 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 assault and battery. Now, Tommy
Kirby is cat of great valor, end the
neighborhood has night after night rung
with his war whoops.
Instead of flying from his assaIlant he
came to full stop; made green his eyes;
enlarged his tail until 1t looked as if it
was meant to clean lamp chimneys. and
gave his back an arch of much hauteur
Then he spat with exceeding 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

Instead of rushing wildly in and rendlng
Tommy Kirby as he had at first proposed,
he gave way to clamorous barkings. This
uproar aroused Newfoundland Jack, who
came tearing to the scene. Never having
beheld his friend Tommy Kirby in this
heroic guise Newfoundland Jack utterly
failed to recognize him. Being 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 it was that Newfoundland Jack
recognized him. He looked after Tommy
Kirby, while grief and renorse shone in
his eyes. He was full of apology to the
brim. This lasted for moment, and then
the meditations of Newfoundland Jack
took a new turn. He. abruptly fell upon
the strange dog, whose caitiff uproar had
gotten him into this mess, and gave him
such a trouncing as few dogs get, and
which sent the strange dog bowling from
the scene at faster pace even than that
of Tommy Kirby. The next day Newfound-
land Jack and Tommy Kirby were seen
sedately walking the yard together; so
they must have made mutual eXplanatio

An Amusing Incident of Semi-SnvnEe
Rule in the Hawaiian Islands.
From the Pacific Commercial Advertiser
Judge Austin of Hilo relates some in
teresting experiences of his own while Sec
rotary to Princess Ruth, in 1854. At that
time she was the governess Of Hawaii.
He had been appointed secretary, but
with orders from Kamehameha III that
Keelikolani should never interfere with his
work. In that year there was a large
gathering of the natives at Kailua, COM
manded to assemble by her in order to
explain to the people the tax laws and to
Ell force the payment of taxes. A large
Lanai was provided, in which the meeting
took place, and she proposed to address
them.
1t was the unwritten law that the very
old and infirm, all cripples and incurables,
should be exempt from taxation. The ma
tives were unwilling to pay taxes, so they
prepared for the meeting.
Many who were young men and in the
best physical condition came in, appear
ing to be doubled up with disease. Many
steps. Some walked slowly, coughing at
every step. Some held up leg and ap-
peared to be cripples. One enterprising
native appeared on stretcher, carried by
four of his companions. When the assem-
bly, opened it appeared like a hospital with
out well person in it, and it numbered
several hundred. The princess made a
brief address, and was followed by her
secretary, Judge Austin, who told them
that all present would have to pay taxes,
as there was nothing the matter with them.
At once there was a commotion. The
men who were doubled up Strengthened
The men with game legs moved about
