AN AUTOMATON CAT.
The Brilliant Conception and Inven-
tion Of an Englishman.
Constructs n Tabby which with EIec-
trio EyebRlls, Explosive Mouth,
and Pin Covered Hide, Pats All
Other FcIines to Flight.

A genius hailing from North London
has been struck with brilliant con-
ception for Kidding back gardens and
clubhouse roofs of philandering cats.
1t consists Of nothing less than the
invention of fearsome automatfon
tomcat made up Of tin frame and
covered with a fur coat. pH
Tom" is as black as the darkest
night with stiff black tail standing
VI defiantly in the air, and ghostls
look in its sightless eyes, which, when
reused to anger, send forth light cal
eulated to make even Ulysses tremble
This baneful glare is produced by
!suf-volt electic battery slowed away

organs. ffa aA
The general principle of construc
tion, according to the British inventor
is based upon powerful clockwork, re
leased by a lever when the tail of the
animal is moved.
he clock works pair of bellows
with two loud-screeching reeds, at thi
some time forming contact to light tht
lamps in the eyes, andforcing outward
dozen long needle points, which come
up through the skin of the back. The
tail also acts as trigger, and releases
hammer formed of the lower jaw OF
the cat which explodes two percussion
caps in the mouth.
One night an experiment was made.
The clockwork was wound up and the
beast placed in a back garden. In due
course a ferocious tabby of loose char
acter and with chips off its ears walked
up to the stranger to give battle, while
dozen of his lady friends sat around
| to see the fun.
In feline language, the tabby appears
| to have asked his lady friends not 10
crowd into the ring, and to watch close
| ly while he prepared tom" for the I'M
dertaker. He began by walking up to
a wall and sharpening his claws. Then
he came back wagging all that was left
OF his tail in an aggressive and Insult
ing manner, and took the measure Of
his silent enemy.
Without the slightest proyocation he
few at the automatic cat, removed a
lump Of loose hair from his back, and
broke his tail in half,
That ended the first round, but twas

Within few seconds the garden was

than a month before hey venfuredto

TOUCHING MEMORIAL SESSION.
Attorneys and Citizens Met Fridav
Night to Revere Memory Of
the Late Judge Z. M.
Hughes.

| Circuit Court was in memorial ses-
sion Friday night for the purpose OF
receiving the report OF committee
from the Audrain County Bar Associ.
alton. The committee presented res
olutions on the death Of the late Cir
cult Judge Elliott Mckay Hughes,
which, in the regular proceedings OF
the court were ordered spread upon
the court records.
The memorial session was held at 8
o'clock Friday night, Judge Houston
johnson presiding,and large number
OF attorneys and citizens were pres
ent, as were the widow OF Judge
Hughes, and his son, VIM. G. Hughes,
and wife, both OF Montgomery City,
and his brother, Arnold Hughes, and
wife, Of this city.
Il. 9. Kennen, Of Laddonia, report.
ed for the Audrain County Bar Asso-
ciation reading set Of resolutions
adopted by that association at a meet
ing held in Montgomery City shortly
after the death Of Judge Hughes. lie
supplemented the resolutions with an
address. P. H. Cullen, Mr.. Kennen's
fellow committee memberr also deliv-
cred memorial address
After the formal adoption of the
resolutions presented number of ad-
dresses were made; among those who
spoke being, in their order, Geo. Rob
ertson, W. W. Fry, W. H. Kennan,
W. W. Bolts, r. D. Rodgers, A. c.
Whitson, C. A, Barnes, w. Burch, A.
Stallings, Gen. d. Il. Mcintyre.
Judge Houston johnson deliver.
ed a eulogy from the bench which
it should be any mans pride to de.
serve, as did the subject Of Judge
Johnson's remarks. The jurist was
practically reared with Judge Hughes
He was boyhood companion, was
intimate with Judge Hughes during
their early struggles in law, was bis
partner for 5 years and In late life
counted him his closest friend Judge
johnson said that in all Of his init.
mate friendship with the departed
justice he had never seen him do q
dishonorable act, had always seen him
kind Of heart, broad Of mind; a man
who held his family and home above
all.
Rev. J. o. Edmonston was called
upon by Judge johnson for few re-
marks. He was Intimate with Judge
Hughes In early manhood and knew
him as man OF honor, kindness and
integrity.
1t would be impossible TO publish
all Of the Justly kind things said dur
Ing the session Of court, but they were
fall tempered with the kindest Of ex
preston; the subject was spoken OF al
a man who held honor above all; Q
man who practlced law and admins
tered justice In the highest sense. He
was spoken OF as the incarnation OF
law, Justice and mercy. as a man who
had no pride Of opinion, who stood
ready to reverse himself when con
vInced that he had committed error.
