A Big Cat story.

The following story is told about q
cat, though It is somewhat hard to be-
lieve IL:
A lady owned a favorite cat and an
equally favorite canary. The bird lived
In his mistress bedroom and was al
lowed to fly about at will. One morn
ing the owner OF the two pets was sur
prIsed to see the bird perched fearless
Is on puss, who seemed both pleased
and proud The lady. seeing that the
eat was as fond of the bird as she was
herself, let both roam about In the
room. On one occasion, however, the
lady had bad fright, as she saw puss,
after giving a slight growl, seize the
bird In her mouth and spring on to the
bed, her tail swelled out, her hair erect
and her eyes as big as four. The own
er OF the canary gave him up at that
moment for lost. but all was made
clear I'm a moment, when II was seen
that there was a strange cat in the
room. 1t was 10 preserve the bird
that his wise friend had seized him.
Directly the strange cat was driven
away puss set the bird at liberty.

K,s,Ier,s SWIMMING Record.

rest midway in the course, which was
In the Schuylkill river from Walnut
street, Philadelphia, to Chester and
back again. He was handicapped, too,
by the fact that the water was unusu-
ally cold. Dr. Schleef, who tried to
swim back with Kistler, on account Of
the cold water abandoned his purpose
after going eight miles. Professor Kist-
Ter is the swimming instructor Of the

A Gander and n Dog.

We had large flock OF geese, and
among them. but not OF them, was a
solemn looking gander that, as Lord
Dundreary says, "fiOcked all by him
self" He had evidently been Outlawed
by his companions, for none OF them
ever noticed him, and when they were
ont grazing he stayed away behind the
flock or wandered of somewhere alone.
Being thus cut Off from his kind and
feeling, no doubt, the need Of compan-
ionshlp OF some kind he made up" to
Caesar, our big watchdog, n fierce half
bloodhound. We kept Caesar chained
I'm his kennel during the day and turn
ed him loose at night, for we lived in
an out of the way place and had him to
protect us from thieves.
One day we were much astonished
TO see the gander standing by C@sar's
kennel like a sentinel What he was
doing there we did not know, but we
watched him, and when Caesar began
barking at something the gander began
squawking at the top OF his lungs. Now,
Caesar did not like this at all, and he
rushed out of his kennel as far as his
chain would let him and pOunced on
the gander as IL he would tear the poor
fellow TO pieces.
The gander escaped with the loss OF
a few feathers, and as soon as Caesar
became quiet he again took his stand
near the kennel. After several unsuc-
cessful attempts to drive him away
Cesar seemed to understand the sltua-
ton, and from that time on accepted
the friendship that had thus been offer
ed to him.
The ganders devotion to the dog was
really remarkable. He would stand
guard for an hour at a time while CR-
sar slept, now and then with his bill
scratching Caesars head or his back as
II caressing him. And Caesar seemed
delighted to have him do II. IL he wan
dered of occasionally after grass, Ce-
sar would begin barking, when back
would rush the gander, with outspread
wings, cackling and squawking as be
came.
When Caesar was turned loose at
night, the gander would follow him ev-
erywhere. How late he kept this up we
never knew. but we have often heard
cackllng and barking intermingled long
after we had gone to bed.
This strange friendship lasted with
out an interruption for three months,
when Caesar was accidentally killed.
The gander then became so grief strick-
en- and forlorn that we gave him to a
friend who lived at distance in the
hope that a change Of scene might
make him forget his sorrow.

Sheriff Brown says the drays cannot
be kept off Fort street because he has
not sufficient funds to keep a police
man on every corner. The Sheriff is
unquestionably blockaded. but the OPP
portunity offers for the Fort street
merchants to step in with little ener-
getic work. These merchants assert
that the pressure Of drays on Fort
street means loss of money for them.
From this standpoint 1t would appear
to be profitable for the merchants to
club together and secure sufficient mon
ey to pay for the special officer needed
for this work. With the High Sheriff
ready and willing to make the neces-
sary police regulation the solution OF
the problem is in the hands of the mer-
chants Interested. The expense ought
not to be large and the investment is
sure TO be profitable one.
