Poor JOE. One life-some would say
nine lites-waS lost in the fire in Odd Eel
lows block last week and there are many
mourners, for Joe was model cat in every
respect. He was as popular, for a cat, as
the man for whom he was named, and as
noted for attending to the business in his
1ipa-Whiah Eapninu tho ctOra nf
Howes & Co. free from rats and mice-as is
the other Joe at his forge onBeaver street. In
his leisure hours he INDUCED in maps in the
waste basket under the desk, or upon the
radiator; but however sound asleep he
might be, you only had to speak his name
and he would be alert in moment. He had
won the regard of all in the store, from the
head of the firm to the youngest clerk, and
had many friends among the customers, of
whom the writer was one. "Joe'' was seen
soon after the fire broke out and it was
thought he went out of the rear door, but he
went down cellar to his death, for there his
remains were found later behind some lard
barrels, not ten feet from where the fire
started. Poor Joe!
