Diokena' Deaf Kitten-The Roman Nu-
merals-Some Verses For
Little People.

At the cat show we ran across an
Englishman who CHANGED to know many
unrecorded tales of Dickens, and during
a lull in the s'meows'' he casually in
GuSsed: ''Did you know, by the way,
that Charles Dickens was devoted to
cats2 He was indeed lover of all ami
mails, and frequently became the slave
Of his pets Williamina, little white
cat, was a great favorite with the en-
tire household, but regarded the great
author as her especial friend She Sc
lected a corner Of his study for her in
dividual property and one day commit
ted the indiscretion of bringing in her
little family of kittens from the kitchen
one by one. Dickens had them taken
away, but Williamina brought them
quietly back. Again they were quietly
removed, but the third time of their re-
turn the little mother did not leave
them in the corner. Instead she placed
them at her masters feet and, taking
her stand beside them, looked implor-
ingly up at him. That settled the ques-
ton.
Thereafter the kittens belonged to
the study and made themselves royalty
at home, swarming up the curtains,
playing about the writing table and
scampering behind the bookshelyes, until
they were one by one given away; all
but poor little deaf one, which, from
her devotion to Dickens, became known
as the masters cat This little crea-
ture followed him about like d dog and
sat beside him while he wrote One
evening Dickens was reading by small
table upon which stood light and can
die. AS usual, the cat was at his elbow,
Suddenly the light went out. Dickens
was deeply interested in his book, and
he proceeded to relight the candle,
stroking the cat while he did SO. After
ward he remembered that puss had
looked at him somewhat reproachfully
while she received the caress. It was
only when the light again became dim
that the reason of her melancholy sud
denly dawned upon him. Turning
quickly, he found her deliberately put
ting out the candle with her paw and
again she looked at him appealingly.
She was lonesome; she wanted to be
petted, and this was her device for
gaining her end. =

He is now highly respected and

able to identify him from what appears
here will recall a handsome, dashing
young man who was the life of his class
at one of Detroit's medical institutions.
He was great lover of athletic sport.
He had no vote in Michigan, but he en-
tered into local politics as though he
had large personal interests at stake and
delighted in nothing more than in put
ting up noisy ourbstone debate with
five or six of the opposition to talk
against him.
No one comprehended how this young
man passed his exams or kept pace
with his class, but it came to be gener-
ally accepted that he depended upon his
keen wits and that they were equal to
the emergency. Color was given to this
explanation when it came to the final
examination and the comforting of di
plomas.
An old and learned member of the
profession took this special youth in
hand. The examiner was not only for

Henry Warehouse said to q
BULLETIN reporter that there was
no initiation Of sugar stocks in the
present activity. The boom was
due to the desire of people on the
Pacific Coast to find investments
that would yield a reasonable re-
turn-say five to eight percent
and none of the stocks thus far
sold are likely to pay less, even at
the premiums paid therefor. In
other words probable value, from
the point of view of moderate
earning power, has not yet been
exceeded in the prices offered for

preserved so far as possible as the
brains of the whole body military
Their place is always well in rear of
the firing line and under cover where
cover can be found-the subalterns and
non-commissioned officers forming
line of communication between them
and those who are firing. This is as
true in the charge as il is in the de-
| Tense. These officers who have been
killed and wounded in such dispropor-
tomato numbers are supposed to have
been drilling their men several years
by modern regulations. and to have ar
rived at point where they would fol-
low these almost as by instinct.
1t is possible that the officers exposed
themselves to encourage their men. in
which event they threw the regulations
to the winds. But men like those in
the Dublin Fusileers and Kings Royal
Rifles and Gloucestershire regiment
don't need that kind of encouragement,
if they are true to their history. An
other theory might be that the Beers
lived up to their instructions to pick
off the officers. But if one will stop TO
think he will see how difficult it must
be for men on the defensive, and final
ly routed. to select the individuals
whom they would shoot among the on
rushing eneny-powder smokeless or
smoky. Again, the long range of the
modern guns may enable the bullets to
find the officers wherever they are. par
ticularly if the enemy is firing high.
But if we accepted such ideas, it is ap-
parent that there would be little use of
instruction in battle formation-just let
them go it, every man for himself.
The probability is that. in the rush
for victory and glory, the officers have
not that machine-like obedience to reg
ulations routine which from a tactical
standpoint is desirable and desired
However it is. here we have under the
new regulations more officers killed, in
proportion, than under the old. If the
officers are not to take home to them
selves the lessons they instill into their
men. much of the study and expert
ence which evolved the regulations
goes for naught.
