A Cat That Kills Snakes.

Miss Ruby Fleming, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George NJ. Fleming, of this
place, has cat that is not only q fine
mouser, but has developed penchant
to kill snakes. This cat is very fine
one and wears ribbons and bells,
through the pettish scheme of Miss
Ruby. One day last week she heard
the bells ringing vigorously. She
went to, the door and saw 4 fight In
the yard shrubbery going on between
the cat and a very large moccasin
snake. The snake would dart its head
at the cat and she with her foot would
knock the head Of the snake to one
side every time. Finally the cat
grabbed the snake by the back Of the
neck and shook it considerably. MIR.
Fleming then came to the rescue and
killed the snake with q stick. A few
days after, the bells on the cat began
to ring again in the front yard. Miss
Fleming went out and found that the
cat was in another combat with 4
huge snake. The cat put the snake to
rout, and as the snake attempted to
run in at the door Mr.. Fleming killed
it also with 4 stick. This is 4 re-
markable cat and one we would like
to own.-NIarietta (Ga.) Journal.

Acknowledging the Corn.

The old gentleman was having his
shoes polished in the cabin Of a ferry.
boat. The boy was using little more

by the exigencies Of the "shine," and

er's face. Finally the old man leaned
over and touched the bootblack on the
shoulder.
"My boy" he said, in kindly tones

What Insane People Never Lose.

Mad people suffer the most extrao:'
binary illusions. They often imagirh
they see things that are not, and hear
sounds which never were produced.
But the sense Of smell rarely, If ever,
is deceived. Even the insane are not
subject to delusions of the olfactory
nerves. There are no ghost smells.
To say the least Of it, this is curl
