You have heard OF the railroad dos,

body has, but I'll venture to say. that
You never heard Of q railway cat. Well,
I used to have one You know ! used
to fire on the Rio Grande Western. /
got mixed up with one Of those big.
mountain cEm bers in a wreck one time,
and after thatI quit the business cold
and turned poet. Well, now for the tab
by.
You know the exploits Of the rail
road dog have been recounted in divers
places--how he saved train and the
lives Of the passengers from fathom-
less pit or q dark yawning abyss and all
that. Those are all stories Of the rail
roader, of which the dog is the hero Of
the hour. My yarn is not like those old
stories, for pussy was too we'll trained
to do anything SO rash as to save train
and thereby endanger her own life. In
the first place, puss was a pet of the
landlady where most Of the railroad
men boarded, and in consequence the
cat took a liking to railroading.
t.sShe was remarkable traveller, and
she preferred the tender Of a freight 10
connective to a Pullman palace car. When
the train wonld have a long wait at {.
eide track or station, Miss Pnss would
descend from her perch on the pile Of
coal, or if the weather was Indictment
from the seat Of the engineer, where she
would sit looking out on the track be-
yond and 60 in hunt of mice, and if it
was lunch hour would hunt up the
kitchen door Of the depot eating house.
She was great favorite and always had
the best the house afforded. She was
beautiful cat. Her fur was Jet black,
andwhen the engine was running down
the steep grades Of the mountains she
would hold her place on the top Of the
tender with all the grace and dignity
Imaginable, s,na if the wind was BIZ
ing she would rufde up her black c,;;;;
Of fur as though entering a protest.
Puss never missed trip all the tine
was On the road after she took the rail
road fever.
"When I left the Western, puss had
to choose between her owner and the
big black monster that had carried her
so many miles. I remember the day /
went out to bid the big inanimate oh.
ject goodby / was very much attached
to it. Why not? We had gone through %
wreck together, and it had received the
brunt Of q collision with big rock. I
looked at the engine; which was steam.
ed up ready to start On its trip, ana
soon saw puss mount to her perch OF
the coal. spoke tende1ly to her, and
che arched her back and purred know
ingly. When bid the boys goodby and
called her, she came part way, looked
up at mo in an undecided manner and
finally gave q pitiful meow and walked
off toward the engine again. She kept
up her habit for several years after that
and finally was crushed to death in
wreck. She was found curled up on the
box by the side Of tho inanimate form
Of the engineer. Both had died at thu
post of duty. - Chicago Inter Ocean.

National Finances.

s
Dr.. Shaw Of The Review Of Reviews
considers it most unfortunate that the
deficiency Of national revenues occurred
at time when the conditions Of the
commerce Of the country required the,
shipment abroad Of large quantities Of
gold. This was q matter which should
only have concerned the exporters and
importers engaged in the foreign trade,
and "poor Mr.. CARLISLE and the United
States government should have had no
connection with it one way or the other.
international balances are always set
tied in gold, says The Review, and
there is no reason why gold should not
80 where it is wanted any more than
iron or breadstuffs. But says the writer:
1t SO happens that it has long been the policy
of the United States government to keep lying
idle in its treasury vaults the vast sum of at
least s1OO, 000,O0 in gold for the purpose OF
making 1t practically certain that the govern.
ment will always be ready to redeem in gold
coin as many 6f the outstanding greenback
treasury notes as anybody may choose to pre-.
sent. This fact, to considerable extent, re-
Of keeping large gold reserves for the accom-
mediation Of their customers. Inasmuch as the
outstanding greenback circulation is in round
figures $346 000, coo, it becomes a very simple
matter for bankers and brokers when they
want gold to send to Europe to present green.
backs for redemption at the subtreasu1y In
New York.
The situation seems to call imperatively for
two things. First, some way should be found
80 relieve the treasury from the needless and
improper burden of keeping a gold stock that
is at the mercy Of any one who may find il,
profitable to draw out gold for export. The
cost of this plan of carrying gold is likely, in
the long run, to prove almost, if not quite, as
great as the interest upon the whole volume
of grecnbacks would be if the notes were
turned into part of the bonded debt. The
second thing which it would seem necessary
to do is to adopt by the simplest means posi-
BILE some pleasure for the increase of the na,
;tional revenue. It has been suggested by GOOD
fdnanciers that an addition to the existing fed.
qral taxes on beer and whisky would quits
suffice to make the income equal to the QUITO

The signal corps Of the United States
army has made considerable use of the
bicycle as 4 means of quick loco1notion
from one point to another. Army bicy-
cling is something new. At first it was
tried with hesitation, but now eonsid-
cradle number Of additional wheels will
be added to the equipments Of the sig
nal corps. General Miles is strongly in
favor Of the silent steed When he comes
I to be the head Of the army, it will prob.
