By simply agreeing to cease prosecu- ton and pursuit of the band of ruff1ans who kidnapped his son, Edward Cudaby. of Omaha, had the opportunity to make 21,OO0. The offer has been made. You have got your boy, safe and sound" the thugs argue. We didn't harm a hair of his head. Now, we are willing to return every dollar of the ransom money we have left if you'll call your dogs off the trail" MT. Cudahy's an- swer was mo-" and 1t was backed by a determination to follow the affair till somebody is landed in the penitentiary, and he will pay all expenses and S25.- OO0 reward for the conviction of his sons assailants. It is fortunate for so- ciety that MT. Cudahy has a square chin and bulldog disposition, for the in- terests of the public in this case are even greater than his. There are very few original criminals. They are near ly all imitatOrs. When a crime is con-
 mitted and large amount of booty se- cured it will be only a matter of a few days or weeks when imitators and bunglers will attempt to duplicate the effort in all parts of the country. Since the day that Edward Cudahy, Jr., was stolen from his home, leaving a mother prostrated with the uncertain horrors Cf his fate, there have been 52 kid. napings in the United States. It should not be necessary for private citizens to enforce the law or to bear the expense of ferreting out those who destroy 1t. Kidnapping is such dastardly and cow ardly crime that, for the safety of chil- dren and the mental peace of parents, public police officials should follow every case to the end and be satisfied with nothing less than capture and con- viction. That they are satisfied with a good deal less Is a humiliating fact. The mothers and fathers of the country owe MT. Cudahy debt of gratitude.

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.
 It was discovered one morning that a tiger had escaped from his cage during the night. It was the day of children's fete at the zoo. A nasty 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 1t seemed as if the tiger had sealed the walls and was in the open country.
 Thousands of children romped in the gardens during the day, and cried "Ohw and "Ahw as the fireworks gleamed 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 things might have happened during that fete- dpv

Habits of the Cat.

All the cats habits show it to be by nature 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 companionship of some kind is essential, for if a 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 a 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 1t 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 1t 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 1t does not attribute to human beings like tastes with its own.-Wild Traits in Tame Animals.

dependent Telegraph Company of New York. After an apprenticeship of five months he was sent to Nepy Brunswick, N. J., to open an office a8 operator on the new line then building between New York and Philadelphia. He re- mained but three months in this posi- ton, being transferred to White Plains and from there to New Ytyk, where he became night operator on the Western press lines of the United States Tele- graph Company.
 In 1864 Sabin entered ihe army as military telegraph operator, and was stationed with the headquarters of the Fifth Army Corps at Fort Petersburg Va. He served through the war, and when the struggle ended he settled at Raleigh, N. O.

Free Mustard.

James Russell Lowell said, "All dea. cons are good, but there are odds iu deacons," and it may be added that there are. odds in other varieties of men.
 Squire Blank, according to Harper's Bazar, 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 a mill in the town. The confer ence was held in the one store of the village, and at its close the manufactur- CT stepped up to a showcase containing cigars, and said:
 Have cigar, gentlemen"
 All the men selected a cigar except Squire Blank. He didn't smoke There fore he said:
 "Thank you, sir, but I don't smoke; but as the cigars are a dime apiece, I'll take a dimes worth O mustard if you say so."
 Of course the astonished gentleman "said so," and the squire went home jubilant over "a hull half-pound O. mus tard that never cost me red cent"

beast, but that of splendid untamed tiger, which lay asleep upon the floor. The fierce animal awoke and fixed his eyes upon the man, who calmly pro- ceeded to wet his large sponge, and, unterrif1ed, 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, as if he had been a horse or a dog; while the tiger, apparently delighted by the application of cold water, rolled over on its back, stretched out its paws, purred, and offered every part of it's body to the moujik, who washed him as complacently as a mother bathes her infant.
 Then he left the cage, and would have repeated the hazardous experiment upon another savage from the desert had not Pezon with difficulty drawn him off,

Washing a Wild Tiger.

A story copied from La France du Nord" illustrates the lengths to which perfect fearlessness may carry a man. The famous lion-tamer Pezon hired at Moscow a poor Cossack, who was as ignorant of the French language as of fear, to clean the cages of his wild beasts.
 Instructions were given to the man by means of gestures and dumb show, and apparently he thoroughly under stood what he was expected to do.
 The next morning he began his new duties by entering with bucket. sponge and broom, not the cage of a tame

Faithful Shepherd Does.

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 prairles 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 SC far as could be ascertained, but the 2,500 sheep thrived as we'll 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.

pr. Nagusha, the Japanese bacteriolo- gist, has made formal proposition that all civilized nations unite in an organ lzed effort to rid the world of rats. His own government, he declares, stands ready to bear Its 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 1t is in that direction, of course, that the greatest difficulty lies. Wheth- CT or not rats can be exterminated. or anywhere near exterminated, is a ques- tion 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.

His Explanation.

The explanations some authors are compelled to make to readers of literal or immature mind-when they are obliging enough to make them at all- are often as good literature as the passage which called them forth. Eliza beth Cady Stanton says, in her Eighty Years or More," that she once wrote Dr. Holmes, at the request of a young nephew of hers, to ask an important question. Did the doctor really have servant who almost laughed himself to death, as described in ''The Height of the Ridiculous?" Dr. Holmes replied:
 I wish you would explain to your little nephew that the story of the poor fellow who almost died laughing was a kind of dream of mine, and not real thing that happened, any more than that an old woman lived in shoe, and had so many children she didn't know what to do. or that Jack climbed the beanstalk and found the giant who lived at the top of it.
 You can explain to him what is meant by imagination, and thus turn my youthful rhymes into text for discourse worthy of the Concord School of Philosophy. have not my poems by me, but remember that '"The Height of the Ridiculous" ended with this verse:
 Ten days and nights, with sleepless eyes
 I watched that wretched man, And since, never dare to write
 As funny as I can.
 But tell your nephew he mustn't cry about it, any more than because geese go barefoot, and bald eagles have no
