Cats and Fish.

A sea captain tells of his sailing in
southern seas where flying fish abound.
They would sometimes in their flight
in the night come aboard the ship and
drop to the deck. He had three cats
that, though they were lying asleep
below, would hear the sound whenever
a fish struck the deck and would rush
up to get it. They distinguished this
from all other sounds The crew tried
to initiate it in various ways, but could
not deceive the cats.

RESoURCEFUL SMITH.
Here Is the Scheme by Which He Grew
Rich Shoeing Horses.

Rich Shooting Horses.
81 lived at little crossroads hamlet
which was not even postoffice, on the
line between New York state and Penn
sylvania, said story teller to Sioux
City Journal reporter "Of course, there
was blacksmith shop there. In those
lays the blacksmith's trade was neto-
riously good one. All the blacksmiths
got rich with their horse, mule and OK
shoeing, and the wagon and the other
repair work which they did. Most of
the blacksmiths combined with their
other work wagon repairing and even
wagon making. There were very few
big wagon factories in those days, and
good hand made wagon cost big mon
ey. When they were doing nothing else,
they would make wagons, and when
there was lots of transient work the
wagons had to wait This state line
shop was busy place. There was no
tavern there, but kAhe blacksmith also
had cider press; and he made the cider
for all the farmers for miles around
But neither this nor the profits of his
shop could account for the rapid way
in which he accumulated wealth. AS is
well known, apple cider, if allowed to
stand long enough, will become hard,
and after that it will turn into vinegar
''This cider dealer always had plenty
of hard cider on hand, but never had
any vinegar for sale. The farmers and
others who stopped at his place could
81, IL
they took out Of tin dipper at 10 cents
drink, and the size Of the drink was
something which attracted very little
attention. Hardly any kind Of beverage
is more Intoxicating than hard cider. 1t
is a good deal like champagne in one
respect You can drink great deal of
it one day, and the next day you will
be awfully sick and sorry, and a good
deal drunken than when you went to
bed. The blacksmith required no license
to sell hard cider, and he worked the
game to the limit. His place became
very popular, and the farmers came
from many miles around in both states
to get their horses shod at his place.
Many of them would come home drunk,
and their wives began to protest. They
always had to have some excuse for hay
ing visited the state line shop, and SO
the blacksmith, after supplying them
with few dipperfuls of hard cider,
would take the shoes off their beasts
and put on new ones, whether they
needed it or not. For this service he
would charge a good round price, while
in many instances it was noticed he
made no charge for the cider.
"But, as is the way of all flesh, this
blacksmith died one day, and then his
business secrets came out He left an
estate of over $50, 600, and in the cellar
of the cider press great number of
empty whisky barrels were found. For
years he had been putting whisky into
his cider and had been setting new
shoes on nearly every horse which came
along, willy nilly. w Washington Star

sible good can come of a continued f%actional
fight except to strain the very tests of simple
friendship between parties who according to
the commouest laws Of nature and business

Mr.. Bogart, not from personal acquaintance,
or for any other n aterial reason than that Of
common humanity. To our bitterest Zoe we
could not gloat over his bad fortune, and
while we have no merits of sympathy for
the criminal, we would advise our readers to

Tours to California.

California has been most fttingly termed
the Italy of America" All the delicious
balm, the cloudless sky, and the rich YER
dure Of the great European peninsula are
duplicated in this sunny land Of the Pacific.
Here nature basks in the sunshine of her own
beauty; and here she has established her
own sanitarium, where eternal spring in
spires everlasting youth. With the snow
mantled peaks Of the Sierras upon the one
hand, the calm Pacific with its soft breezes
upon the other, and a veritable paradise OF
flowers, fruits and plants between, man can
find and needs no l~ovelier land. To visit
such a country is a privilege, a blessing.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
recognizing the need Of a more comfortable
and pleasant way of crossing the continent,
inaugurated a series of annual tours to Cali
f@ornia, running a through train of Pullman
palace ears from New York to the Pacific
Coast, and stopping at the principal points of
interest en- route. The great popularity of
these tours demonstrates the wisdom of the
movement.
For the season Of 1897 three tours have
been arranged to leave New York, Philadel-
phia, and Pittsburg, January q, February
"a, and March 27.
The first tour viii run direct to San Diego
via st. Louis and the Santa Fe Route, and re-
turn from San Francisco via Salt Lake City,
Denver, and Chicago, allowing five weeks in
California.
The second tour will run via the Mammoth
Cave and New Orleans to San Diego, stopping
at the Crescent City" during the Mardi
Gras Carnival. This tour will return via
Salt Lake City, Denver, Omaha, and Chicago,
allowing four weeksi in California,
The third tour will run via Chicago, Denver,
and Salt Lake City, allowing passengers to re-
turn by regular trains via different routes
within nine months.
All Of these tours, either going or return
ing, will pass through the famous Colorado
region, Glenwood Springs, Leady.lle and the
Garden of the Gods.
Rates from all points on the Pennsylvania
Railroad System east Of Pittsburg First
tour, s31O second tour, $3.50 third tour,
S2lO round trip, and $3.50 one way.

government, abandon themselves TO the gay
whirl of the social world, Receptions, din
ners, balls follow each other with bewilder-
ing Tapidity.
The state of the Cuban question and the
possibilities Of Congressional action is also
claiming attention, and the never-dying in
terest which attaches to the many depart
ments Of the Government is attracting its
usual number Of visitors.

which leaves New York January 81, affords
the hest opportunity of visiting the National
Capital at this season. The party will be

our ALLIANCE WITH ENGLAND.



LONDON, Jan. t8-The Chronicles
Washington correspondent says: "Secre-
tary Olney, replying TO q question Of tho
Russian minister, Mr.. E. De Kotzebue, as
Co whether the arbitration treaty with
England was offensive and defensive, or
anything in the nature Of an alliance, said
that the question might be answered yes
and no. That in the ordinary diplomatic
acceptance it was not an alliance, but that
IL is an alliance in support of the Monroe
doctrine, which England recognized by
the terms Of the Venezuelan treaty. If
the arbitration treaty is ratified Mr..
Olney said, it practically makes Great
Britain our ally for the maintenance and
the enforcement of the Monroe doctrine
The correspondent of The Chronicle,
commenting upon the above, says: "Mr.
Oluey recognizes that England is the more
natural ally Of America than Russia,
whose hitherto professed friendship for
the United States is merely hatred of
England. II is probable that Russia will
do her best to persuade the senate not to
ratify the treaty"
The Chronicle, in an editorial, regards
the foregoing matter as Of the deepest i'm
p%ortance, and says that it desires nothing
better than that Russis should take the
course indicated. "The scales will then
fall from Americas eyes" it concludes.
