At the Cat SHOW.

One of the principal attractions At
the show given by the Cat Club in Chi
cago early in December WAS the "tame
wildcat" an animal that had been
caught in the forests OF Minnesota or
Wisconsin when a little kitten. and
having fallen into good hands, had
grown up to be a gentle. affectionats
creature. fond OF being petted. and Civ
ing no evidence OF its original wildness
except in its pointed ears and its size,
which WAS about that OF four ordinary
cats.
An interested visitor. after having
reached finger through the wires OF
the wildcats cage and stroked the anil
mails forehead, strolled along, and
presently repeated the performance at
the cage of a particularly handsome
he did SO.
Wow! Owr he exclaimed wrap
ping his handkerchief hastily around
his torn finger. "A tame wildcat isn't
half MS dangerous as q wild tame cat!"
An agriculturist from Iowa, who had
brought some live stock to the city.
and had heard Of the cat show, drop
ped into see what 1t was like. He
had a half-formed idea Of buying one
OF the handsomest Of the animals, II
he could be assured that he could
transport It to his home without too
much trouble.
with this point in mind he made the
rounds OF the cages, and then. stop
ping in front OF splendid black cat
bearing the name OF Peter Jackson,
asked somebody who happened to be
standing by:
What do you suppose they'd sell
that cat for!"
The lady who owns that cat" was
the reply. values him at Ave hundred
dollars"
Great Scotti'' gasped the visitor.
That's all got for . whole car load
, of fat hogs"
He didn't buy any cats At that show.

Mules. on the Balcony.


In the old days when mules were
plentifully bred in Kentucky, and TAX
en- thence for sale to the plantation
states. they went forth in droves. COM
monty under the leadership of a bell
mare. preferably white in color. In
the course Of few hours the mules
would know their leader, and follow
her with SO little trouble that two men
could conduct a drove OF several hun
dred. Nevertheless. II the foremost
mule turned aside bit, all the others
would blindly follow her like flock
of sheep. Il recall an amusing in
stance OF this follow-my-leader' mo-
tive" says Prof. n. S. Shaler in Do
mesticated Animals"
Engaged in survey work in south
ern Kentucky, l was passing along a
Quie, road when in the distance
heard a thunder of hoofs. and in a
moment saw great drove Of mules,
the appointed leader OF which, man
on a white horse, had fallen to the rear
of the column. The creatures. think
ing 1t their duty to overtake the miss
ing master. were going on the full
run.
Needing the shouts OF the troubled
herder, l turned my wagon across the
road, which. being at that point very
narrow, was efYectually barricaded by
the vehicle. Although the rush was
SO wild that the brutes nearly overset
my outfit" they were brought to full
stop.
Unhappily, on one side Of the road
and one hundred feet from it, was a
comfortably built southern house. with
a broad gallery extending along the
front while In the door Of the mansion
were some women whose attention had
been attracted by the tumult No
sooner had the mob OF mules been
brought to a stage Of surging quiet
than one OF the creatures jumped the
picket fence, and started for the open
house door.
In much less time than It takes to
tell it, hundred or more mules were
on the gallery, the floor OF which gave
way beneath their weight: they quick
ly broke down the columns which sup
ported the roof. SO that the whole
structure at once became q heap Of
wood and mules
The unlucky proprietor Of the drove.
in his CONSERVATION, lifted his hands
like an Oriental in prayer. and said to
me meekly:
Did you ever in all your life?"
assured him that ! never did. and
went my way leaving him to settle an
interesting case of damage with the
owner OF the mansion.

The Pony ExprssA.

The pony express began TO run in

transit at that period: in 1861 it car
risd President Lincoln's message over
two thousand miles in seven days and
seventeen hours. the quickest time for
horseback riding ever made In this or
any other country. The plant OF this
fast mail route WAS Eve hundred
horses. one hundred and ninety sta
tons. two hundred men to take care
OF the stations. and eighty riders. each
OF whom rode thirty-three and one

ponies. The letters carried were written
on the finest OF tissue paper. and the
postage charged was Ave dollars a let

When the earth thy voice can thrill.

"HAVE DONE GENTLEMEN, HAVE

Editor Democrat-Star

Editor Democrat-Star.
The old and trite saying, ave are but
children of a larger growth" is nowhere
more m%eaningly exemplified than when
the editors of two rival papers get at
loggerheads with each other.
This throwing of mud at each other
from the columns of their respective
papers has no more dignity attached to
the work than the participants in a
street fight. There are those who will
applaud and urge OF the broil, wen
willie feeling the utmost contempt for
the actors. The mission of q paper is
clearly defined to be apublisher Of news,
~interspersed with items of interest and
wisdom.
When an editor falls away from these
rules, he not only loses his own dignity,
but he degrades the standard of his pa
per and causes those outside of his com
munity to feel that the people of his
neighborhood are of rather an inferior
order mentally, OF they would not sup
is wrought to crafty petty spite.
In our own community we have had
much to contend with financially, and
have suffered for long III consequence.
We are awakening to a new life with
brilliant prospects. We are asking cap
ital to settle among us, and take advant-
age of the many chances for the in
crease of the same
Having much to offer, we desire to
boom our town and surrounding coun-
try. Therefore, it must be plain to all
thinking people that our editors, both
men Of excellent worth and high char.
acter, should use their fine talents in
writing up all these grand inducements
and let the petty annoyances of each
ones life and habits be left to individual
settlement. 1t is possible for competi
tors in business to greatly assist eacf
other without lessening their owl
chances for prosperity in the least.

Mr., and Mrs. T. Swartwout left for the

about Christmas. ... ,
Two Northern gentlemen have been
stopping in town for about two weeks,
and consider this q desirable locality,
They expect to return here this fall and
reside permanently.
Mrs. Wright, a Northern lady, is build
ing a very fine house near the depot, and
will move into it sometime this fall.
A meeting was held in the new school
house last Saturday evening for the pur-
pose of re-electing a teacher The
school term will begin the first Monday
in November. We mean to have a first.
cl4s school, and make it comfortable for
every boy and girl who will attend.
No kind of inducement will persuade
a quarantine officer, who gets 81 a day
and nothing to do, that this yellow fever
quarantine is a curse If we have had
so much yellow fever on the Coast, and
are all apt to get 1t, there is no such
thing as an immune. But | think that
if the experts were to start on a mission
of mercy, at the rate we pay for crack
ers and cheese, they would find less
fever of the yellow type. We have JUS
as competent physicians or the Coast as
the "ex-spurts" that come into our ter.
ritory and differ in their decisions as tc
the existence of yellow fever. This so
called nothing has been the cause Of
locking up the whole Coast and keeping
the South from getting a very desirable
class of settlers and shutting us off from
the business world. j. j. M.
