SOME TRAINED CATS.

You do not hear of trained cats as
often as you do of trained dogs, but
cats may become very accomplished
if the proper trouble is taken with
them. They are as easy to teach as
dogs, and while they do not acquire
such a variety of tricks, some of
them are exceedingly intelligent and
amusing. The feline nature is in
clined to slugishness and prefers
sleeping to learning, and he who at
tempts to teach them requires an un-
usual amount of patience.
One of the most difficult things to
teach a cat is to follow like dog
As rule they will not follow, but
occasionally there is an exception. A
New York young lady has cat that
trails SO close after her as to be al
most stepped upon. The chief clerk
of the State Department at Washing
to has a cat with the same accom-
plishment. He has owned it for
seven or eight years. 1t will follow
him about the street for miles just
like dog, and is excessively fond
OF going out for walk, provided its
master selects evenings for his me-
anderings. 1t daylight it prefers not
to go on the rambles, evidently be-
cause it does not like to come in con-
tact with small boys and dogs, who are
then too numerous on the streets of
Washington. 1t has often been OBJ
ssrved that cats really care nothing
for a master or a mistress, but be-
come attached to place and not to
persons. No so with this particular
cat; for at one time when its owner
changed his residence he purposely
left his cat with friends who occupied
the house he had vacated; but the
cat was not satisfied until it had
found where the new house was,
and took up its abode there with
evident delight at finding its old
friend and protector.
In the Treasury Department at
Washington there is one very won
derful cat. His name is Tom. and

A Fortunate Escape.
A Burlington Young Lady Tells the
Story of Her Rescue.
From the Clipper. Burlington. VI.

A reporter called upon Miss Lillian
Warner at her home, AIS St. Paul Street,
Burlington, VT, and begged the favor of
an interview.
The young lady is musician and a
pianist Of considerable renown, and has
her time fully occupied by engagements
to play at concerts and other entertain
ments that are constantly taking place in
the city, and the strain upon the strength
and nervous energy of the pianist can
easily be imagined.
Il never could have stood it once, but I
have something now,'' said Miss Warner
enthusiastically, 'that braces me for my
work Some little time ago l was utterly
unable to attend to my duties, owing to
a disarrangement of the nervous system
that affected my eyes with all the rest.
They became so weak and troubled me so
that l finally went away into the country
to rest. The benefit obtained from the
change of scene and freedom of care was,
however, merely temporary, and upon
my return to work l rapidly lost all that
| had gained and more"
but did you consult doctor!"
80 yes, indeed; | put myself under the
care of several doctors, and even tried

GOrdon's Promise.

Senator Faulkner, says the Washing

his trip to New York. The famous
Stonewall Brigade Band, of Staunton.
Va, went to New York as the guest of
Charles Broadway Rouse, former Vir-
ginian. The members were quartered
at the Windsor Hotel. and after the ar
rival of the President serenaded him.
Then they played in III, lobby oilthe
hotel. After they had finished one of
the members came up to Senator Faux
ner and asked if General Gordon was in
the party. Upon being informed that
the famous old Confederate was in the
hotel, he said he would like to see him
and remind him of an incident of the
war. The Georgian was found present
ly.
General Gordon, want to remind
you of a promise you made. We we're

A short time later Ex-Governor
Flower, of New York, heard of the incl

Hamilton together. When the story
had been repeated to him he said that
such an incident of the Grant ceremon

HOW LINCOLN EDUCATED HIM.
SELF.

The late William HI. Herndon, who
was Abraham Lincoln's law partner,
travelled through Kentucky and south
ern Indiana as early as 1865. visiting
Mr.. Lincoln's stepmother and others who
knew him before he reached manhood.
and were, therefore, able to supply Mr..
Herndon with much curious information
about the early life of the great Presi-
dent. But for this forethought of Mr..
Herndon. our portrait of the immortal
rail-splitter would be far from true or
satisfactory. Even in the light of all
that has been CLEANED, collected and
sifted concerning him, our knowledge
of his boyhoo6, his education and earlier
mental processes is necessarily vague
and dim.
For number OF years l was closely
associated with Mr.. Herndon, whose
papers all came into my hands ulti-
mately. Moreover. | myself visited the
scenes of Mr.. Lincoln's birth and boy
hood more than once; examined many
witnesses, and made certain investiga-
tions into his personal history. Between
us we went far toward exhausting the
sources of information concerning his
early life. How near to his beginning
we traced him may be judged from the
fact that we secured. after long search,
the written statement of a man. now
dead, who held in his arms the infant
son of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks
on the day of his birth.
The world will never cease to marvel
at the remarkable contrasts presented
by certain phases of Mr.. Lincoln's life
Perhaps people hundred years hence
will hesitate to believe that the speech
at Gettysburg battlefield and the inaug
ural address delivered from the portic
of the Capitol at Washington, March A
1865 were written by man whose school
days, all told, ibid not amount to one
year." and who was "never in colleg,
or academy as a student, and never in
side of a college or academy building
till after he had become a practicinG
lawyer. in his twenty eighth year.
1t would thus appear that Mr.. Lin
coin had. practically, no schooling OIL

THE OLD FLAG.
BY H. c. RUNNER.

Off with your hat as the flag goes by
And let the heart have its say;
You're man enough for tear in your
eye
That you will not wipe away.
You're man enough for a thrill that goes
To your very finger-tips-
Ayl the lump just then in your throat
that rose
Spoke more than your parted lips.
Lift up your boy on your sholder, high,
And show him the faded shred
Those stripes would be red as the sunset
sky,
If Death could have dyed them red
The man that bore it with Death has lain
These twenty years and more;
He died that the work should not be in
vain
OF the men who bore it before.
The man that bears it is bent and old,
And ragged his beard and gray,
But look at his eye fire young and bold,
At the tune he hears them play.
The old tune thunders through all the
air,
And strikes right into the heart;
If ever it calls for you, boy, be there!
Be there and ready to start.
Off with your hat as the flag goes by
Uncover the youngsters head
Teach him to hold it holy and high
For the sake of it's sacred dead

school experience; yet in that modest
bit Of autobiography furnished by him
in his own handwriting to the newspaper
correspondents who waited upon him
just after his nomination for President
in 1860, he states that before he attained
his majority he had attended five differ
emit schools.
OF these, two in Kentucky we're kept
or taught by Zachariah Ring and Caleb
Hazel; and three in Indiana by Andrew

ing. writing and ciphering to the Rule
of Three. If a straggler supposed to
understand Latin happened to sojourn
in the neighborhood, he was looked upon
as wizard. There was absolutely moth
ing to excite ambition for education. OF
course when came of age | did not
know much. Still, somehow, l could
read. write and cipher to the Rule of
Three. That was all. The little ad-
vance 1 now have on this store of educa-
ton have picked up from time to time
under the pressure of necessity"
Partly on account of the indiffence of
his father, who "took no stock in book
learning" but mainly because Of a lack
of money, he was denied, in great meas
ure, those few facilities for acquiring an
education which boys. even in that early
day, usually possessed. Mr.. Herndon
discovered and preserved some Of the
very few books and certain documents
which were used by Mr.. Lincoln in the
days of his limited schooling. One ;of
these, which now lies before me, is the
work from which he obtained his in
struction in reading Youths Compam-
ion.
