JOKE ON THE OFFICER.
The Thief Catcher Uususpectinxiy
Gives His Suit to Wagon
Thief to Clean

There is good story told on a
prominent official OF Allegheny. says
the Pittsburgh Dispatch He denies it,
but its truth is vouched for by another
well-known official. Some days ago,
the story goes, the former official hap
pened to be going into his residence
on one OF the prominent thorough
fares when he saw man hurrying
across the street with several pieces of
mems wearing apparel on his arm The
man was walking in the direction of a
wagon nearby that belonged TO a clean
ing and dyeing establishment 1t struck
the official that he would have one of
his spring suits cleaned, and he hailed
the man. thinking he was in charge of
the wagon However, the fellow proved
to be thief and had just robbed hall
rack in neighboring boarding-house
When the of7cial cried out 10 him:
Say. mister. hage a S,si. I WISH you
would have cleaned the thief took in
the situation and saw that he had been
taken for the driver OF the wagon. He
cooIly went over and got the officials
suit The thief was well out of sight
before the real driver of the wagon re-
turned and the truth became known.

II is impossible TO trace the origin of
the domestic cat with certainty TO any
existing species or variety of wildcat.
Indeed. the time at which the cat was
first domesticated and introduced to
human society is simply matter of
conjecture. Prof. Shaler expresses the
opinion that the domestication of the
cat must have been much later than
that of the dog. while naturalists give
reasons for believing TO the contrary.
Some people agree with Prof. Shaler,
and for this reason: That dogs were
probably first domesticated in order to
assist in hunting. and. therefore. prob
ably in wiis; Is called the hunting age
of human society, whereas the cat has
nowhere been generally used us hunt
ing animal. The dog IS essentially gre
garious; he loves TO hunt in packs. and
when introduced to human family. he
regards tie family as his pack and
hunts accordingly, so that he is easily
made serviccahie by the human hunt
er. The cat, on the contrary, is un-
social; II lives alone ard hrnts alone.
so that Il cannot be eNnectci t. be cas-
lily trained to hunt, either with N or
for men. In fact, the only mc-,. Der of
the cat family that has heen known
TO have been trimmed 20 hunt is the
cheetah, though an ancient Egyptian
painting, which may be seen in the Brit
ish museum, represents a cat which is
apparently assisting hunter to catch
birds.
There Is another reason for thinking
that the cat must have been adopted
by man after the hunting are, namely.
the cats wonderful attachment to lo-
calities. Animals like the VOLT with
which the dog is most closely allied.
follow their prey over vast tracts of
country, and seem entirely destitute
of local a',achmsrt. The wildcat. on
the contrerv, seisl2s down in particu-
lar spot and waits for it's prey to come.
When removed from its accustomed
habitat Il seems to lose its skill. and
therefore would be useless to man in
. hunting age, because in that ago
men seldom had fixed hahitations. but
ronmed abroad. where game was 10 be

lecture. Whether the cat or the dog
was first adopted hv man cannot now
be certainly known. but the cat was

Our Yord Contest.

We have decided to extead the
time of oar word contest from De-
cem5er %, as first announced, until

ment we have several good reasons,
chief os which is that We have not
vet received sufficient number of
guesses to warrznt us in giving away
$50 worth of presents. AS we
give these presents away absolutely
free. we think we are justifiable in
changing the time of Distribution.
There will oe no further postpone
nent and We guarantee that the
presents will be distributed on the
first day OF March, 1899, if We do
not receive another guess.
As an extra inducement to make
this contest more spirited. we make
the following a lditiOnal offer to hold
good until March l: To eUery-
5ody who, from this date on, sends
us one dollar to pay an old subscrlp-
ton or to renew, or to become new
subscriber, and who will take part
in our guessing contest, we will give
the COUNTY RECORD for one year,
the Garden and Farm, large, six
teen page monthly devoted to agrl-
culture. for one year. and a standard
book by a popular author.
The regular price of the COUNTY

price of the, Garden and Farm is sl.0O
a year; the publishers price of the
book I'VE give. isi twenty-five scents;
thus you get.a total value. of tU0
dollars and tveaty-fre
cents ;'or one::doUar.
All gueases already sent in will be
keptover and counted when the contest
closes, the.onIy difference in our offer
being that the limit of time is ex'
tended:until March l. One person
can send any number of guSSes at
one dollar each. Now send in your
guesses.
