Henry watterson. the great Ken

ers among the public men Of the
United States. His capacity in that
respect seems unlimited. AS a fair ex-
ample Of his capabilities two incidents
will suffice. On one occasion he at
tended the bimonthly meeting Of the
Salmagundi club of Louisville. A ban
quet was one Of the attractions Of
these meetings. Before, during and
after the banquet there were discus
sions, but the banquet was the thing.
On this night It was at the house Of
the editor Of the Republican pepper of
Louisville. me menu was one Of four
teen courses with the usual wines.
One course was quail, and Mr.. Waiter
son had two; another was venison, and
again he was served twice. This hap
pened In about half OF the courses.
Before the end of the dinner all the
other club members were but tasting
what was put before them, but Mr..
Watterson was eating all, and often
calling for more When the dinner
was ended the rival editors went 10

ties Of beer and Mr.. Watterson never
denied it. After this he went to the
Office of the Courier-Journal and wrote
his celebrated "Star-Eyed Goddess"
editorial, that was copied and com
mented onSall over the United States.
At another time he entered a cafe, Of

Queer Animal Friendship Existing in r.
New England Town.
At Derby. Conn. George Mechter-
scheimer has q raccoon which is about
the most intelligent animal in that W.
clnity. lie caught It while out hunt
ing one day last spring and he brought
it home 10 exhibit &c to his friends.
The racooon was q little fellow, barely
able to walk. and was put ia a cage
and placed at the back OF the saloon
The little fellow would stand no fool
Ing. however, and at the least attempt
to approach him would snap and bite
like a wild cat. He was we'll fed and
everything done to make the animal
comfortable. In time he became more
tame and at last he was allowed the
liberty Of the saloon. He became a
favorite with everybody who came IN
contact with him and soon learned
how to do a number Of tricks. He
eats a dozen bananas a day and will
60 through the pockets OF n one
whom he knows, usually finding some
thing. He and Rap. Georges spaniel,
are great chums and it is comical to
watch the two together the dog let
ting the oon get on his back and
drive him around the place.
The other night two dogs entered
the saloon and the minute they set
eyes on Pete, the coon, they went for
him. Pete backed into a corner and.
standing on his hind feet, used his
forepaws like a prize fighter. and got
in SO many cross-swings, upper cuts
and straight blows that he had both
dogs licked in no time. They turned
tail and ran out Of the place for all
they we're worth, with Pete after them.
He landed on the back Of the larger
dog and nearly drove that animal
crazy by scratching and biting him.
It wal a victory for Pete and he
seemed to realize it, for he walked up
to where the bananas were kept and
would not go away until he had one.
