Tale of Cats ana Shin Rats.

philadelphia Evening Telegraph.)
Everybody has heard Of rats aboard
ships and how sailors would refuse to
sailaupon one that the crafty and robber
rodents had deserted. This being known.
it Will surprise landsnlan and landswo-
men when they are told that there are
vessels which carry cats. for every soul
knows that Tabby is the undying foe of
the rat. The other day when the big
liner Belgenland came into port after a
record ruin Of hours and Is minutes
from the Delaware Breakwater, the re-
porter who was assigned to do" her ar
rival almost stumbled over the brightest
kind of tiger cat in the saloon. Even
he maryelled at the presence of pussy.
He reminded the captain of the old SUI
perstition. but the skipper only smiled
and said that cats aboard ships were
more common than any one knows. Rats
are safe from their attacks. Incredible
though 1t may seem, pussy seeming to
take pride In observing ancient tradi-
tions.
Apropos OF this, however, only a few
days ago vessel lay at her dock in
the Delaware river. Suddenly a rat left
the ship. followed by another and an
other, until whole colony had evac-
suated. The crew noticed the rodents
exit. and to a man followed the rats.
Nothing would induce the seamen to re-
turn: The ship was ready to sail. The
skipper stormed. Then it was that his
eye fell. upon the form Of a huge, gaunt
black cat. The rats exit was explained.
The exa sperated captain seized Tom
by the neck and hurled him at the sail.

Real estate transactions for 1902 are

A Real Philanthropist.
(New York Press.)

Several years ago mentioned by name
In this column what called real philan-
thropist. He was man who took mort
cages on the bodies of the INDECENT poor,
and, instead of plastering them upon re-
mote genera tons, burnt them in the fire.
He is doing the same good work to-day,
and finds intense enjoyment in it. He
goes from undertaken to undertaken about
once month and asks for the unpaid
funeral bills. If he can buy for 50 cents
on the dollar he does so; If for IS he does
so; If for 80 he does SO. If he is asked
to pay in full he does so. The undertaken
is required to send receipt in full to the
debtors, but without mentioning the name
Of the one who paid the bill. The philan-
4thropist understands well the hard strain
! it is for the poor to bury their dead de-
