4 cot.. Extraordinary Leap.

In tho latter part Of 1880, at time
when the Washington monument had
reached n height Of 100 feet, an adven.
turous and patriotic cat assembled the
interior of the shaft by means Of the
ropes and tubing. When tho workmen
arrived at the upper landing the next
morning and began to prepare for the
days work, pussy took fright and,
sprInglng to the outer edge, took a
"header'' Of 100 feet to the hard earth
below. In the descent which was
watched closely by twoscore Of men,
the cat spread herself out like fylng
squirrel and allghtcd on all fours. Aft
er turning over on the soil few times
in a duzed manner she prepared TO
leave the grounds.
She had got almost beyond the shad-
ow of the monument when a dog be-
longing to one Of the workmen pounced
upon her aud killed her, she, of course,
not being in her best running trim after
performing such an extraordinary feat.
One Of the men procured the body of
the dead feline. smoothed out her silky
coat and turned the remains over to a
representative Of the Smithsonian In
stitution, who mounted the skin ana
placed It under glass case. The label
on the case tells this wonderful story
In a few words: "Thls cat On Sept. %,
1880, jumped from the top Of Washing

"a very fine shad. 1t was the only one
in the market, and bought it for you"

the steward, "and 1t is cooked to a

"But 1 want to know the prlce-the

"Take It away" said Washington as
he raised his hand; take it away. 1t
shall never be sud that 1 set such an
example Of luxury and extravaganza"
And with that he drove the steward
out of the room, and the shad was eat
