HAVING HIS PICTURE TAKEN.

at the very sight of them), and kept
the hens from laying for whole week.
But there was one animal around the
place they could not get the best of.
This was an old ram, and the cubs
simply would keep biting his legs to
see what they were made of. So one
day the ram turned on the cubs and
gave one of them injuries from which
he afterwards died. Poor little chap.
The hunter had him stuffed, but his
brother the next day tried to play with
him, and when he got through there
was not much left but stuffing.
After that the cub that was left
played with the puppies, but he was
getting too much for them. The hunt
er thought about this time that he
was big enough to have name, so he
called him Cats" and he soon got to
know it. Cats now turned his atten-
ton to fox terrier who up to this time
would not associate with him, but sud-
den leap on doggie's back and sharp
nip made doggie know that Cats was
now of some Importance.
Until now Cats had not had anything
to eat but milk, and he thought it was
about time for live food. One day his
owner saw him following a chicken
with that 1.-THE crouch seen so often in
cat that is after a bird, and before he
could stop it Cats had sprang upon the
poor fowls back. The scared fowl ran
clear around the barnyard, carrying
| Cats on it's back, before ii was bitten
clear through the neck and died. Cats
was not allowed, though, to eat the
first kill that he had made. The owner
still thought that milk was plenty good
enough for him, but when he found
that Cats was catching lizards and eat
ing them on the sly, he thought it best
to give him some cooked meat.
This would not do, for Cats was long
ing to kill something. He would not
touch the milk or the cooked meat, and
| to keep him from starving his owner
had to let him have live, fowl every
day. This Cats would catch and kill
| himself, tearing out the feathers with
his teeth and quickly getting it ready to
eat. lie would growl and snarl over his
! meal and look ever so fierce, and if any
one came near him he would take his
fowl in his mouth and strike out saw
agely on both sides with his little paws
which, by the way, had sharp enough
claws in them, as the hunter often
found to his sorrow.
When he had finished his meal he
would come to his master, who would
carefully wash his paws, and would be
good for another whole day.
Cats is now grown up and in Europe
where he is just about to appear before
the public as performer of most won
derful tricks.

Caught and Tanned q baby
Leopard.

There were three of the baby Loop
ards, little spotted things about a week
old, when Hunter II. II. Summers found
them in thick forest in Africa. AS he
stumbled upon them, relates The Wide
World, he heard an angry growl, and,
turning, saw the mother leopard not
six feet away, getting ready to spring,
its head on its paws and its eyes blaz-
| ing. Knowing that a seconds hesita-
ton might cost him his life. he fired,
but the wound only made the wild beast
angry, and it sprang at him. he jumped
to one side, and as the brute rose TO
make second spring he placed the
muzzle &C his gun almost against its
head. 1i4s time, luckily for him, he
succeeded in killing the big animal.
Then he turned to look after the
baby leopards. They were about the
size then of three-months-old kitten.
One of these had been injured in some
way, so that The hunter thought best
10 kill it, and, taking the fine skin off
the big leopard. he put the two little
ones in a basket and set off for the
camp. The little fellows were very hun
CRY when they were let out at the camp,
and the first thing to do was to hunt
up some goats milk for them, which
they seemed to like very well. They
were too rough to play with any ami
mails but dog belonging to the hunter,
and for a long time these animals were
very good friends, although the little
leopards were so much trouble TO look
after that black boy was hired TO take
care of them.
At the age of about four weeks the
cubs were just like kittens running
about over the place, and great deal
of bother to their little nurse. They
slept at night with their foster broth
ers, the puppies, but in the daytime
they were busy from morning until
night. They climbed on the bed and
pulled the blankets to pieces; they
drank the eats milk in the saucer;
frightened the life out of the tame mon
key; scared the fowls (who nearly died

PUBLIC SCHOOL RECEPTION.
Brilliant Succe ss n Every Par
ticuiar Saturday Night.

Large Attendance Those Who Re
ceiyed-Addresse by Number Of
well Known People-Charles Hodges
Makes a Hit-Pretty Decorations
Nothing Left to be Desired in any
Direction.
The reception rendered by the
teachers OF the Public Schools to the
leading educators of the town on
Saturday night was one OF the most
successful events that ever took
place in the town No effort had
been spared by the teachers in prep
aration for the affair and there was
nothing left TO be desired in any of
the arrangements.
The decorations were very pretty
and reflected great credit on the
good taste of those who had them in
charge. The building never looked
prettier and when it is remembered
that it is one of the prettiest in the
state it will be seen that it was all
right.
Miss Laura Shisler and Prof
Kline received the guests at the door
and made them feel at home i'm
mediately by the attentions that
were shown them. The reception
began at eight O'Clock and in the
receiving line were Prof and Mrs
Gallup, Miss Hodges, Miss Wotring,
Miss White, Miss Kunkle, Miss
Brand, Miss earle, Mrs Martin
Miss Hull and Miss Taylor.
After this the reception refreshlnenl
were served These were very Gle
CANT and dainty and were greatly
enjoyed. The refreshments were
followed by a number of short talks
by several of the prominent visitors
One of the most pleasant features o
this was the recitation by Charles
Hodges. He appeared instead O
his father who was unable to be
present owing to absence from town
Charles delivered a recitation thai
caught all present.
Among those who gave short talks
were Prof A. L. Wade, Prosecutor
l. G. Lazzelle, Dr. Jerome Hall Ray
mond, Rev Gilbert Hannah, Rev
S. V. Leech and Or. L. S. Brock
Their remarks were well chosen and
contributed no little to the pleasure
of the occasion.
The schools OF Morgantown have
| a force of teachers of which we max
well be proud and they have shown
that they can entertain as gracefully
as they teach. 1t is to be hoped thai
this reception may not mark thu
last of similar affairs to be given by
the teachers.

A bill is to be introduced in Con-
gress next Winter which will have
for it's object the erection OF new
home for Presidents of the United
States 1t should meet the approval
of every citizen who takes pride in
his country. We are a Democratic
people, to be sure, but we are great
and really the White House as it
now stands reflects no credit upon
our public spirit, much less does it
imply patriotic devotion to the ira
dltions OF our fathers. All the early
statesmen, including President
Washington himself. and excluding
only Thomas Jefferson, believed that
the Presidential office should be one
OF dignity-of grandeur, in fact. The
wealthiest nation on earth should
provide for its chief magistrate a
home second to no kingly palace in
the world. Personally, the Presi
dent is one Of The people by whom
he is chosen, but this very fact adds
weight to tneimportancco Of his office.

are sure to follow according to the
old belief about things OF this kind.
The first one wis in Pickenpaugh's
store, the second ia the New England
Bakery and the third one in the Seneca
Glass factory. 1t took place on Mon
day afternoon about three thirty, but
little damage was done. The fire
/ however might have proved serious
one but for the prompt action of the
force of fire fighters at the factory.
The fire started froma gas plug in
the boiler room which blew out. The
threads of the plug had become rusted
and the plug suddenly blew out. The
gas was ignited and a terrific explo-
sion followed. William Reeves was
standing in line of the escaping gas
and he was badly burned but not Sc
riously.
The fire caught the roof under the
tin aud the whole room started to
blazing. The flames reached into a
ventilator over the engine and this
took fire. The alarm was given in
the factory and still alarm was turn
ed in for the members of the town
! fire fighters.
Two lines of hose were soon at
tached and these together with chem
ical fire extinguisher we're soon play
ing on the fire with the result that it
stood up to the assaults for short
time only. The town tlremen did
not have time to get there at all.
The gas which had been turned of
the boilers was then turned on again
and the factory went right on.
Reeves was removed to his home near
by and given the needed attention on
account Of his burns about the face
and hands.
The plug which blew out was &c

and pipe attached to stove. The
stove and pipe were in position but
they had not yet been attach ed.
