"Flehtlng Like Kilkenny Cats"

During the Irish Rebellion in 1903
Kilkenny was garrisoned by o troop
of Hessian soldiers whose brutality
was their chief characteristic. One OF
their choicest amusements was the ty'
irg together of two cats by their tails
and throwing them over line to light
to the death.
This cruel practice was discover,
by the officers, who resolved to stop
it. Accordingly strict watch was
kept.
One day the tramp Of the officer was
heard on the stairs as the men were
again indulging in the brutal amuse'
ment in one Of the rooms. A guilty
trooper hastily seized sword and cut
the tails in two as the cats hung ove1
the line and the animals escaped.
The officer made his appearance and
demanded an explanation concerning
the two bleeding tails. He was calm
" informed that two cats had beer
fighting and had actually devouree
each other, all but their tails.-Ne7

What the Fox Should Havo Said.

"No," said the man with the large
head, II can't say that think very
much of the fox in the old fable Of
The Fox and the Grapes It is re.
corded Of him that after trying to get
the grapes by every way that his in
genuity could suggest he finally
turned up his nose and said, oh, ]
don't care! they're sour anyway.
CHOW, if that fox had any really
commendable wisdom in his triangular
skull he would have looked at the
grapes blandly, and then have an
nounced to the world that they were
sweet, but that sweets didn't agree
with him; that owing to the condition
Of his stomach he considered it mad
visable to eat anything containing
saccharine matter, and that, besides, q
properly philosophical fox believed IN
self-denial and in taking things thai
were easily at his disposal, instead o.
trying to climb a trellis to secure at.
tractive but deleterious grapes.
IF he had done that, instead of be
ing the laughing stock Of succeeding
generations, he would have stood
good chance of being appointed pro
lessor of philosophy in a subsidize'
university, and Of living on yellow
legged chickens for the re2t of hi
natural life" Tit Bits.

The Timidity Of an Elephant.

Riding along road in India I saw
the following instance Of a big ele'
plants timidity, which I venture to
send you. The elephant, ridden by a
mahout, was followed by a small NAL
tese terrier, which, intent on it's own
affairs, trotted before its master, max
ing occasional instructive investiga'
tons by the roadside after the manner
of dogs, without particularly noticing
other travellers. From the first mo-
ment the elephant set eyes on the dog
he never lost sight of him, turning
from side to side always with an eye
on the small animal, and hurrying out
of his way whenever he approached
The timidity Of the one and the con
fidence Of the other were irresistiblJ
amusing.-The Spectator.
