At any rate on the family's return
the members were surprised when the
servant hurried upstairs and told
them Tom was playing in most friend
~ manner in the area with an immense
rat.
Everybody tiptoed down to look.
Sure enough Tom had made n new
friend. His love of society had over
come his natural instinct, and he was
drinking his breakfast while the rat
was jumping around the saucer in The
most unconcerned manner.
Eut alas for the rats confidence in
feline nature. For few days all went
well between the strange friends. They
were often seen together and were
always apparently on the best OF terms.
One morning, however, Bridget coming
downstairs found the rats Eeadless
body. Thomas whiskers were stained
with blood.
Either the whilom friends had Guar
relied, or, relieved by the return of the
family from the necessity of taking up
with any acquaintance he could make,
Thomas had decided to give up his
friendship. And with that decision
probably his normal instincts had re-
sumed their sway.-Golden Days.

EE MUST LIVE.
A Patient Who Was Bound TO Last
Long Enough TO Draw His
Pension.

1t would be in vain to attempt to
describe the sympathy for the poor and
suffering which William Stokes could
throw into his voice, says his bioSra-
phcr. One of the stories he used to tell
is Of peculiar interest, not only for its
revelation of human Kindness, but as
proof of the power of the will in pro-
longing life.
An old pensioner was a patient of
Stokes in the Meath hospital. His life
was dcspaired of, and in fact his death
was hourly expected. One morning.

ANECDoTE OF DEWEY.


One OF the brave jaekies who was
with Dewey" at the battle OF Manila
bay tells this new anecdote Of the great
admiral. The teller is Harry DcGh.nan,
sailor Of the cruiser Boston, and his
story is this:
The most affecting incident which
occurred, and which all OF the sailors
will remember through their lives, was
the action Of powder boy. These boys
act as aids to captains and licI,cnants
in carrying messages and dong er-
rands. When the order was gwen 70
strip for action, one of the boys iore lis
colt of hur-icdly. and ii fell from Ia
HANDS and went over the r3il, down into
The bay. A few moments before he h1'
been gazing on his mother S photo

off lie lad t,ssed the picture and phi ii
in his inside pocket. When the coat fell
overheard he turned TO the captain and
asked permission 10 jump overheard
and get it. Naturally the request was
refused. The boy then went to the
other side of the ship and climbed down
the ladder. lie swan around to the
place where the coat had dforGed, and
succeeded in getting ii. Ihclie1e it was
still Heating when he get there.
"When he came bacl; he was ordered
in chains for disobo,lience. After the
battle he was tried by court-martial
for disobcdierce and found guilty.
Commodore Dewey became Interested

when the commodore talked to him IN

done such strange things for an old

commodore that his mothers picture
was in the coat.

In the morning their italian teacher
made n sip in her English, and in reply
to an inquiry concerning the oddly
twinkling fire embers III her little brass
stove, informed them that the fuel she
employed was Small wigs"
They laughed heartily at the mis-
take, and presently the lady herself
corrected it to twigs, and was amiabie
enough to laugh also. But that same
day they went to see the horie!cs5 cats
of the city fed in the clois:cr OF san
Gallo, and were not sure that they bad

turned to the custode and inquired in

Before the era Of apartment houses
the ordinary tenancy in New York was
yearly one, dating from May i. Now

continued to pay his rent promptly
could not easily be disposscsacd, AID .1r

He takes with him various important business projects, amongst which is one for combination of Atlantic and Pacific steamers with railway connection from Tampico to Mexico, and Mexico to Acapulco. It is gigantic scheme but quite prac- ticable, and MT. Gadd has had much experience as London promoter. It was he who negotiated the municipal loan for the city, which Is now being paid of so punctually. MT.
