MAJORsFLEETWOOD TESTIFIES.
Editor of the BEE:
Elm yoursissue Of August 24th refer
ence is made to one of the many grace
full acts of courtesy received by myself
and others of my command from Col
VIM. G. Moore, as commandant of the
Washington Light Infantry Corps, the
occasion referred to being a reception
held at their armory on the occasion OF
a special inspection of the command
by Maj. Ward, asst adjt. gen. U. S. A,
which was witnessed by majority Of
the gentlemen most,,prominent at that
time in official and civil circles. The
courtesy of an invitation was extended
to myself as commanding officer of the
Washington Cadet Corps, to my then
adjutant, Lieut.. Judd Malvin, and to
my senior Captain Arthur Brooks.
All through the evening Col. Moore
personally interested himself to see
that every courtesy extended to other
guests were shared by ourselves at the
same time, in the same place and man
ner. During the time of our acquaint-
ance, extending over now the past fiji
teen years or more, can testify to an
unbroken series of courteous and
friendly acts as soldier and citizen that
have won my sincere regard.
| am glad to see that his true worth
and fairness is at length finding appre-
citation and expression from those who
not knowing him as we'll have mis-
judged him.
While true to the political faith with
which he is identified, his acts will
show that he thinks even where there
is difference in politics or complex
ion, GA mans man, for a that.

A SMART CAT.
How He Convinced Himself That re Was
His Own Image.

The late DR.. Romanes, in his "Ani-
NAL Intelligence, gives two stories of
cats, which, on seeing their own reflec-
ton in a looking glass, convinced them
selves that the reflection was an illu-
sion. In the case of very intelligent
cat of mine, lie went, | think, step
beyond this--namely, he satisfied him
self that it was i'll some way his own
image. Even it my deduction is wrong,
the first part of his proceedings was SO
singularly like those in DR. Romanes'
accounts that it seems as though is
were a uniform law of cat nature to act
in this way. and so far it may not be al
together uninteresting.
| put the cat on a table in front of n
small toilet mirror After looking at his
reflection for a short while he went be-
hind the glass Then he returned to his
seat in front and again watched it at

idly dashed behind it, He again return
ed to his seat in front of the glass, and
while retaining his seat and keeping
his eyes fixed on the image he struck
about behind the glass with his paw in
different directions.
His next action was, fancy, suggest
ed by seeing the image apparently strike
with its paw also. Keeping his seat and
retaining his eye fixed Oh the image, he
proceeded to (if may use the world
posture in front of the glass. He raised
his paws alternately, licked them,
touched the glass, moved his head, etc.

creature often being pluclSed alive so

the puffs are sold at from seventy
five cents upward. nicely mounted in
bone and blue or pink satin, which ad-

The ladies of Paris and Vienna are

chiefly to their fastidiousness in cast

their pristine delicacy.

Carrying Wounded Comrade Forty

A young man. Henry Brault, resi-.
dent of Peterboro, Ont, recently per
formed an act of heroism, actuated
by frien1 II, w5;ca i worthy Of
record among the heroic deeds of
heroic men Of any age. The Man
chester Union says that Brault and
another young man, John Jami eson,
were at work in the wild Madawaska
region Tor the St Anthony lumber
company. Jameson met with a Sc
we're accident which rendered him
delirious, AMI BrauIt started with
him for civilization, where surgical
treatment could be had They had
travelled on foot but a few
hundred yards when Jamieson's
strength gave out and he became
helpless. Brault, determined to save
his companion if in his power,
shouldered the invalid and started on
his long. cold tramp of some forty
miles to the nearest railroad With
out moments sleep. and bearing,
besides mis- human burden a pack of
PiosioAohs' DFduiI continued HlS Jour-
ney for four days and nights, through
cold and snow, until finally, almost
as helpless from exhaustion and
fatigue as his friend was from illness,
he had the supreme satisfaction of
reaching the end of his journey and
placing Jameson where he was able
to be properly treated. Such feat
of endurance seems almost incredible.
and only a seasoned woodman, Injured
to hardship, could have accomplished
1t; and among those capable of it it is
rare to find so striking an example of
disinterested friendship even when
a human life is at stake Whatever
his station in life may be, young
Brault deserves to rank among ma
lures noblemen.
