times. but not with enough force tc
pull it down. After 100 seconds of such
activity, it happened to claw the loor
hard enough, and so escaped.
After 1t had eaten the food outside
il was put into the box again. There
was Il repetition Of the same activities
but the successful movement came TINS
time after thirty seconds. On the next
trial, general activity for ninety sec

capped. With repeated trials the asso

and the act Of clawing at the loop be
came fixed. so that finally the kitten
would do 1t in a few secOnds-that Is
as soon as put into the box.

last Thursday, the Goth. He was
worthy member of VIM. A. Barrows

Comrade RyersOn enlisted in Company

and was mustered out in August, 1865,
having seen almost four years of con-
tinuous service. He was in all the en-

Charleston in the summer of 1868, and
in the spring and summer of 1864 he was
in the battles of Bermuda Hundred, Cold
Harbor, three engagements in front OF
Petersburg, Deep Bottom and Chapin's
Farm. He was always ready for duty,
no matter how arduous the duty, or how
great the danger. He was orderly
Sergeant of his company for long time
during the last part of the war, and was
well qualified for commissioned officer.
When comrade was detailed to 90 on
duty he well knew that it was his turn,
because Gustavus always made the de-
tails without prejudice or Partially, and
at the same time he was always ready TO
make any personal sacrifice to help a
comrade when sick or in distress. For a
number of years past he has been an in
valid caused by his service, but has lived
the life of a good citizen, and a con-
sistent Christian.
