CAT WAS A HEROINE
Really Saved the Lifo Of Her FrioI
and MiRtr0al.

Really Saved tho Life Of Her Friend
and Mistress.
Pussy's mistress came from Sweden
60 live in America, says the Boston
Beacon. She had been very comforta-
bic in her old home, with good house
and large garden. But she had never
been used to gas, and knew nothing
about it.
One night while she was visiting
some friends in the new country, she
went up stairs, taking her pet pussy
with her. The house was lighted by
gas. and her friend never thought to
explain to her how to manage it. She,
unthinking, blew out the light and
went to bed.
She was tired and soon asleep. But
It was not long before she woke, feel
ing very uncomfortable. There seemed
to be weight on her chest, and she
could hardly breathe. Her pussy was
on the bed beside her, mewing, rubbing
against her face, and patttng her With
her paw. The gas was coming from
the pipe into the room.
She was not wide awake enough to
know what was the matter. and she
tried to quiet pussy and 60 to sleep
again. But Pussy persisted, and finally
reused her. She called her friend, who
came quickly, without q light, and
turned of the gas. II she had brought
a lighted lamp into the room, there
would have been great danger of an ex-
plosi0n.
The cat really saved the life Of her
mistress. If she had not walked her
she would never have walked again.
Pussy was a little friend, but a very
faithful one.

It is officially announced that
the price of anthracite. coal will
be advanced twenty-five cents per
ton the LIST of July. There is cer-
tainly nothing in the present con-
dition of the temperature to war;
rant such action, but the great
coal combine of the country has it
in their power to put up prices,
and it has the nerve to do it. The
excuse is that the coal miners of
the country are making a more ef-
fective organization to demand
better prices, and when they COM
plete their organization they will
make the demand. In anticipa-
tion of that possibility the owners
have decided to make the twenty
five cent rise now to be ready to
meet the demand. There is
nothing in such an excuse, but
the combine has the audacity to
make it, and make good the ad-
vance in prices.-Mankato Re-
