lad Of fierce determination. and the boys
in the neighborhood Of Harry's house
insist that the young animal trainer has
hypnotized his pet. Be that as it may,
Harry has succeeded in doing what no
one has ever done before, and he is
reaping his reward in the fun that
Mouser affords himself and his friends
whenever the weather is cold enough to
make an ice pond in fit condition for
skating.
Harry has had several offers from
museum keepers who want to buy the
gifted Mouser, but the boy would rather
part with his ears than give up his clev-
er cat. Mouser is the most remarkable
feline in the world, and if she under
stands her own value she must certain
ly know that she can do at least one
thing that no other cat has ever before
succeeded in doing. A skating cat is
worth whole menagerie Of ordinary
trick animals, and when Mouser dies

NEW YORK, March 16-Dispatches from
Havana, sen. vi. Key West, describe a
series Of horrible massacres perpetrated b.
Spanish soldiers. On March 10, in Ha-
vana province. six small Cuban boys were
met on the public road bp a detachment
Of Spanish infantry, which shot and killed
them. At Palmos de Pedros the Span
iards shot fifteen non-combatants. among
them being a man named PerdOme, a
OF the United States. Ten days ago de-
tachment Of Spanish troops entered the
town Of Artemisia.
and many young girls were carried on to
the Spanish camp, where they were de-
tained over night. Two of the girls COM
mitted suicide the next day. Two
old men who protested agains the outrages
were shot. The correspondent in Havana
sends details of the massacre of six per-
sons on the Morales. or Dolores, sugar es-
tates, two miles from Bainoa, and the
serious wounding of DIR. jose Manuel Del
gardo, an American citizen. by Spanish
troops under command Of General Mel
quizo.
A dispatch direct from Havana is

Of Harlem a.. ~ hoy.
Harry Summers Is Harlem boy, and
his greatest boast is that he has sue
ceeded in teaching his pet cat. Mouser,
how to glide along an ice pond on
skates. Mouser did not learn how to
skate in . day. As may be imagined,
she was q slow pupil. and it was quite
q month before she could be induced to
keep the little pieces Of steel and wood
(which Harry had specially made for
herr attached to her feet. Even when
Mouser had grown accustomed to her
shackles she had to be taught to stand
upright, and after that she had to be
coaxed into using her skates ON the ice.
Poor puss had many bad fall. and il
her skates had not been SO firmly at
tached to her hind legs she would have
run away from her terrible task long
before she had grown accustomed to her
unnatural sport.
1t was only with the utmost patience
and kindness that Mouser was taught to
look upon her daily exercise as part of
her existence. Today she rather enjoys .
spin ON the little pond in the back yard
Of Harry's home. Mouser's first real les
sons in skating were given ON miniature
roller skates; it was only a step from
roller skating TO glide On the ice.
Mouser is big white and yellow cat,
not ut all handsome, and more inclined
to fight than to skate. but Harry is q
