The Cat Who Would Be King.

There was cat who kept "A store,
With other cats for customers.
He kept his mice
A packed in ice
His cat-nip all in canisters.
Fresh milk he furnished every day
Two times a day and sometimes three
And so this cat
Grew rich and fat
And proud as any cat could be-
But though so fat and rich he grew
He was not satisfied at all
AT last, quoth he,
"a king I'll be
OF other cats, both great and small"
Then hied he to the timer cat
Who made for him proper crown,
And on the street
A king complete
He soon went marching up and down.
Now, many cats came out to see
And some were filled with awe at him;
While some, alack
Behind his back,
Did laugh and point paw at him
Mice, milk and cat-np did he scorn,
And went to business less and less
And everywhere
He wore the air
OF arrogance and haughtiness
His clerks ate cat-nip all day long
They spent much time in idle play,
They left the mice
From off the ice
They trusted cats who could not pay.
While happy in his tin shop crown
Each day the king went marching out,
Eate because
He thought he was
The kind of king you read about.
Until, one day he strolled too far,
And in dim and dismal place
cat he met,
Quite small, and yet
A lusty look was in his face
One fiery eye this feline wore
A waif he was of low degree
No gaudy dress
Did he possess,
Nor yet handsome cat was he.
But 10, he smote that spurious king
And stripped him of his tinsel crown,
Then like the wind
Full close behind
He chased his Highness into town.
With cheers his subjects saw him come
He did not pause-he did not stop,
But straight ahead
He wildly fed
Till he was safe within his shop.
He caught his breath and gazed about
A sorry sight did he behold
No atnip there
Or watchful care
No mice and milk and joy of old.
He heaved sigh and dropped tear
And sent those idle clerks away
Quoth he, my pride
Is satisfied
This monarch business does not pay"
With care once more he runs his store
With cat-nip all in canisters-
His milk and mice
All packed in ice,
And humbly serves his customers.

CHINESE PEACE TERMS.


Washington, Dec. eft is learned
here that the agreement signed by
the ministers of the powers at Pekin
conditions as preliminary
to the negotiations of peace terms
contains demand for the severest
penalties that China can impose in
the punishment of the high officials
believed to be responsible for the
boxer outrages. This refers particu-
larly to the II prominent Chinese
mobiles whose names have been men
toned in the press dispatches as
those whom some of the nations con-
tended should be executed. Our gov
eminent has persistently held to the
position that penalties should not be
inflicted on the Chinese government
which she was not unable to carry
out. The demand for the death pen
allies was stricken out of the agree
ment and that for the severest pen
alties possible inserted. The agree
ment probably will be made public
here to-day if word reaches Wash
ington that Mr.. Conger has affixed his
signature to it.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE senate

THE KIDNAPPING CASE.
The House In Which Young Cudahy Was
Helda Prisoner Located Police Puzzled
on Punishment Of kidnapers.

Omaha, Neb., Dec. 22.--The result
Of "a hours work on the part Of the
police of the city and half a hundred
detectives has brought to light the
location of the house in which Edward
Cudahy, Jr., was held prisoner for
nearly two days, and from which he
was returned to his home in the city
at a late hour Wednesday night.
The house is located four miles
from the city and in place of easy
access, but so situated as to allow the
desperadoes ample opportunity to lay
and carry out their plans without
molestation from inquiring neigh
bors. Within easy communication
with rail and wagon roads leading in
and out of Omaha and South Omaha
and on a high knoll where sentries
could give immediate alarm in case of
necessity, the one and a half story
shack had been admirably chosen by
the bandits. No doubt exists in the
minds Of the police as to the identity
of the place. Young Cldahy himself
was taken to the house and identi-
fled many features which he had rec
cgni2ed while Il blindfolltd prisoner.
The reward offered by NIr. Cudahy
has caused those working on the case
to redouhle their efforts. and Chief
Donahue said last night he felt con.
fident of locating part or all of the
men engaged in the crime.
One thing that is pulling the po-
lice at this time IS how they can pun
ish the kidnapers, should they be
captured, there being no cover to the
case. There is an oifense known as
kidnapping" in the criminal statutes
of Nebraska which carries with it
penitentiary sentence, on conviction
ranging from two to seven years, but
it only applies to kidnapping with the
intention Of carrying the victim out
side of the state.

THE HAZING INQUIRY.


West Point, N. Y, Dec, % The
military court-martial inquiry into
the alleged brutal cases of hazing,
which are said to have caused the
death of Cadets Booz and Breth, will
not be able TO finish its work this
week, An adjournment until Wednes-
day or Thursday will be taken after
to-days session and the remainder of
the testimony probably will be Sc
cured by the end of next week.
Yesterday the story of the fight be-
tween Keller and Booz in Fort Put
nam ON the 9Th of August, 1905, was
told by Keller himself, as well as by
some of the seconds and the srntinels,
who were posted to watch for Off,
GERS who might interfere,
A letter was read in court from
Rev. DR.. Allison. of Bristol, Pa. 1t
was written in reply to the one pub
lishcd from Cadet Burnett, president
of the Y. N, c. A. at the academy. DR..
Allison says that Rooz was not man
to read novels hidden in Bible.
Nothing adduced in the evidence
yesterday showed that there was any
brutal hazing practiced at the acad-
envy and the trend of the evidence
went to show that neither Booz nor
Breth was possessed of the necessary
mental capacity to go through the
entire course of studies necessary for
graduation.

prepared circular of instructions for
those who might be disposed to secure
and mount Insects for the proposed
collection, and these were literally dis
