day morning. Just as the mail car in

Ontario and Western railroad station.
inward bound, Smith drove upon the
tracks with a wagon load of coal.
With aggravating slowness he preceded
the car across the West Lackawanna
avenue bridge, despite the changing of
the car bell and the shouts of Mr.. Pat
terson TO turn aside.
AT the Y, where the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western railroad tracks
cross the avenue, Superintendent Pat
terson dismounted from the car and
led the horse of the grinning teamster
off the track. Upon this. Roger Nc

night il the police station.

before Alderman Millar, who held them
under $500 bail each for court.
Crowd Gathered.
a large crowd was attracted by the
excitement, but was quickly dispersed
by Patrolman Davis. 1t is interesting
to note that the Y is the identical place
where the disturbance began last year.
Superintendent Patterson was also in
charge of the car at that time. Boys
secured potatoes from an open freight
car. standing on the Lackawanna rail-
road siding, and bombarded the motor
man and conductor and car with tell
ing force. Teamsters blocked the tracks
and the progress up the avenue was
slow. The crowd increased in numbers
and became more impulsive as the car
slowly proceeded. The upshot was an
attack on superintendent Patterson,
followed by two sturdy strikers pulling
him from the car and rushing him
through the crowd into a saloon, before
the excited mob could injure him.

Habits of the Cat.

All the cats habits show it to be by
nature a solitary animal. Even in early
life, when family ties bring out the
instinct Of association, this is apparent.
If you compare the play Of puppies
with that Of kittens you will find that
in one case companionshlp of some
kind is essential, for if puppy has no
playmate of his own species he will try
to make use Of the nearest biped;
whereas a cork or a bit of string, is all
that is necessary to satisfy the require
ments Of the kitten. The way in which
the cat takes its food is q sign that in
its natural state it is not in the habit
of associating with greedy companions.
When given something to eat it first
carefully smells the morsel, then takes
it in deliberate and gingerly way and
sits down to finish it at leisure. There
is none of that inclination to snatch
hastily at any food held before it which
we observe in well-trained dogs, nor
does a cat seem in any hurry TO stow
its goods in the one place where thiev-
ing rivals cannot interfere with them.
Indeed, no greater contrast in natural
table manners can be observed any
where than when we turn from the
kennel or the pigsty and watch the
dainty way in which a cat takes its
meals. That cat allows people to ap-
proach it while it is feeding without
showing jealousy proves that it does
not attribute to human beings like
tastes with its own.-Wild Traits in

The fierce animal awoke and fixed his
eyes upon the man, who calmly pro-
ceeded to wet his large sponge, and,
unterrified, to approach the tiger.
At this moment Pezon saw what was
going on, and was struck with horror.
Any sound or motion on his part would
increase the danger of the situation by
rousing the beast to fury; so he quietly
waited till the need should arise to rush
to the mans assistance.
The moujik, sponge in hand, ap-
preached the animal, and perfectly
fearless, proceeded to rub him down

by the application Of cold water, rolled

Much Might Have Happened.

When tigers are really at large in
England, says the London Chronicle,
there are no newspaper paragraphs
about the fact. The secret is firmly
held. At Clifton there is a delightful
zoo.
1t was discovered one morning that a
tiger had escaped from his cage during
the night. 1t was the day of children
fete at the zoo. A hasty search of the
grounds was instituted, but no tiger was
found. Then the superintendent decided
to keep his own counsel and trust to
luck; for it seemed as if the tiger had
scaled the walls and was in the open
country.
Thousands of children romped in the
gardens during the day, and cried
"Oh!" and "Ahr' as the fireworks
cleaned in the night All the evening
they played and sauntered about
among trees and in shaded alleys and
dark corners, and then everybody went
home, tired and happy.
In the early dawn there was another
search for the tiger; and in the corner
of a disused monkey house was found
the monarch of the jungle" still trem
bling from freedom and fireworks.
His keepers threw a handkerchief
about his neck, and he meekly allowed
himself to be led back to the grateful
safety of his cage. But many thing
might have happened during that fete

DIR. Nagusha, the Japanese bacteriolo-
gist, has made a formal proposition that
all civilized nations unite in an organ
lied effort to rid the world of rats. His
own government, he declares, stands
ready to bear it's part, and the sugges-
ton has called forth a remarkably
unanimous verdict of approval from the
doctors Of many lands. Ways and
means have not yet been formulated,
and it is in that direction, of course,
that the greatest difficulty lies. Wheth-
er or not rats can be exterminated, or
anywhere near exterminated, is a ques-
ton yet to be determined. But in any
event their numbers can be,enormously
reduced; and the certainty with which
the spread of the bubonic plague in
India and in Hawaii has been traced to
rats makes even a reduction in numbers
worth the effort it requires.

Free Mustard.

James Russell Lowell said, "All dea-
cons are good, but there are odds in
deacons," and it may be added that
there are odds in other varieties of
men.
Squire Blank, according to Harper's
Bazaar, was not only the richest man in
his village, but the stingiest as we'll.
Nothing gave him such keen delight as
to get something for nothing.
One day he and several of his neigh
bors had been in conference with a
manufacturer who contemplated estab-
fishing mill in the town. The confer
ence was held in the one store of the
village, and at its close the manufactur-
er stepped up to a showcase containing
cigars, and said:
Have cigar, gentlemen"
All the men selected cigar except
Squire Blank. He didn't smoke. There
fore he said:
THANK you, sir, but 1 don't smoke:
but as the cigars are dime apiece. I'll
take a dimes worth O. mustard if you

Faithful Shepherd Dogs.

A cold spell in Montana killed a
sheep herder in the Great Falls Dis
trict. Two feet of snow covered the
range in places, and the thermometer
indicated forty degrees below zero.
The herder was frozen to death on
the prairies while caring for the sheep,
and it was three days before his fate
was known to his employers. Two
shepherd dogs were with him when he
died, and one of these staid with his
body while the other attended to the
sheep, just as though the herder had
been with him. The dog drove them
out on the range in the morning and
back again at night guarding them
from wolves and preventing them from
straying off. Neither dog had anything
to eat during the three days vigil, SO
far as could be ascertained, but the
$500 sheep thrived as well apparently
as though directed by human agency
The singular fact about the matter is
that these faithful creatures would
have starved to death rather than harm
one of the sheep left in their charge.

ually risen to his present position.
1t has been his principle to make the
telephone popular and profitable by
making it so cheap as to be within
the reach of all. He has achieved this
result by establishing various classes
of service, ranging in price from $1.50
