Tillman and Mckinley.

The feature at the White House to-
day was the visit OF Senator Ben Till
man, of South Carolina, says a Wash
ington dispatch of Thursday.
The senator was on hand a few min
utas before 1 o'clock. Arthur Sim
mons, the coIored 6oorkeeper at the
entrance 10 the presidents room, did
not know who he was at first, and, on
learning, collapsed. Surprise showed
in his good natured black face. So
soon as i. was o'clock, Simmons has
tened to invite the South Carolina
pitchfork man to enter.
President Mckinley had ascertained
that the senator was waiting and
promptly sent word to have him ad-
mitted. The South Carolina man was
on OF the first men to talk with the
president, and they had chat OF ten
minutes apparently OF great interest
to each ether.
The president inquired how the SEN
a.or liked his work and whether they
were quiet enough for hin; also de-
string to know if the prongs Of the
pitchfork were sharpsned. Then the
president mentioned the extra session
OF congress and expressed the opinion
that the passage Of a tariff bill would
do much to brighten things up in the
country.
"Well, we will see what it will do, !"
said the South Carolinian. II know
that the patient is very sick. We will
try your physlc and if that does not
cure him then we will have to try
ours, which I think is the only thing
which will cure him"
It is needless to say that the sena-
tors remedy is free silver and the
president fully understood him.
The two men parted with mutual
pleasant words.
It is q well-known fact that Senator
Tillman hated ex.President Cleveland
so much that he never spoke to him
during his last term and never went
to the White House.

A large wildcat that had gone hungry three days sneaked down the big beech ridge above Balygump, Me, with its face screwed into as ugly 8 sheer as ever a wildcat wore. Beyond the ridge, where the ground sank into 8 gul1ylike swamp, the wildcat found fat porcu- pine on the ground. The cat evidently found the porcupine tempting to look on, for it promptly went on the hunt with all the craft it could exercise. Be- hind a hummock, along snow ridge, over fallen log and through sprin- king of bush tops the cat made it's way and approached the porcupine. Then 1t sprang and gripped its claws on its prey. It sought to roll the porcupine over so as to bite it on the belly. It succeeded only partially, and filled its jaws full of short quills from the porcupine's side. The porcupine died quickly, but the wildcat. with its jaws distended with the quills, could not eat the meat, being able only to lap up little of the blood
 The agony to the wildcat was SO great after awhile that the brute rolled over and over in the snow, finally forcing a quill through an eye and into its brain. New York Sun.
