he asked for a few days more time.
promising to let them know the result,
Tuesday. The general opinion is that
the Weavers will be very foolish if they
strike, for as there is no labor union here
the result would be that the places would
DE filled in Il Very short time and they
would simply be minus a job In these
hard times the people think the weavers
had better keep their jobs even though
they should receive smaller pay. Mr..
Brown, the owner. and Supt. Barber say
that there is no trouble. and the general
opinion among other employees is that
the matter will be settled at once.

A CAT IN THE FURNACE
Makes Much Trouble Young Man Finds
Rat in His Cash drawer.

A certain cat, the owner of which has
not vet been located, made no end of

,,ost of his sex, likes to get hold of
,,;,tens TO eat them up. He is believed
IN have broken and entered a private
dwelling. with the unquestioned pur-
nose of taking some very young kittens
which were in the cellar. and whose
mewing could be heard from the out
side. At any rate, this wicked cat
oraw,ed beneath the piazza lattice
work. and into the cold-air box of a
furnace. The fire was then out.
II was one thing for the cat to get
into the furnace, and quite another to
get out again, for the pipe, short dis
lance in, takes an abrupt drop for sev-
eral feet. This drop the cat took, and
found himself in the air passages of an
ordinary furnace.
He was discovered by the inmates by
the cries he let forth, as hunger and
the darkness about him, began to prey
upon his mind and body.
The furnace was taken apart by an
EXPERT: piece by piece. No cat could
he found in the furnace. And it was
not until the pit in the rear had been
opened UP that the animal was found.
He then made good his escape, in the
way that cats usually do. Now the man
who had to pay for having his furnace
taken apart wants to know who owned
of trespass; and doesn't like to have is
settle for the deeds of other people $
cats
In one of the stores on the street is
clerk, a popular fellow, and one that
takes everything with unruffied good
nature. But, from some reason or
other, this clerk has an intense fear of
rats. Accordingly, his friends arranged
it so that live rat be secreted in the
popular young mans cash drawer
When the latter opened it, there hap
pened to be woman customer present.
Both saw the rat at the same time,
and both gave a yell, with a jump.
And those that saw and heard, are at a
loss to know which of the two yelled
the louder.
