|. SOME MUSICAL CATS.
0ne Used the. relephone, Another
Played the Plano and q Third
Was q Guitar virtuos0.

Z One particularly interesting cat that
knew had n long life. He had reached
the advanced age of IA years. He was
not a blue-blooded cat, but simply
plain, black cat, without pedigree, and
bore the plebeian name of Tom. but he
often displayed a high degree of COM
mon sense, and sometimes of reason.
In the house he lived in was a speaking
tube of the ordinary kind, passing from
the upper to the ground floor. On one
occasion Tom was left alone in the
downstairs room, the doors of which
were closed. Desiring to get out of the
room. and having no means of opening
the door, he climbed upon chair near
the speaking tube, erected himself
upon his hind legs, steadied himself by
placing his paws upon the back of the
chair, placed his mouth to the tube,
and began whining and mewing into 1t.
In this attitude he was found by his
young mistress, who came into the
room al the moment that he was try
ing to call some one to his aid.
Tom had evidently observed that the
tube was used for such purposes, and
that some one usually came in re-
Spouse to IL. He did not know enough
Of its mechanism to remove the plug
or to use the whistle, but he certainly
showed that he knew some thing about
the use of the instrument. and as far
rs he had ever seen into the mystery
used it accordingly.
There lives at this day in New Jer-
sey a cat whose tastes are esthetic, II
not cultured. She answers to the
name of Benny. While she is the pet
of all the family. she is especially de-
voted to the only daughter. who is
young lady of some 20 summers, and
she is equally devoted to the cat.
Bonny is fond of music, and is per-
haps the only one Of her race that per-
forms upon the piano. This she does
of her own volition, and apparently for
her own pleasure, for she is shy Of
performing in the presence of
strangers; but while alone or in the
presence of her young mistress she
does not hesitate. Bonny seems to
have a clear sense of the fitness Of
time and place, and never interrupts

Mr.. and Mrs. Clawson sat on the
back porch. 1t was growing dark.
Mt. Sanhedrin was mere blur against
the sky; the entrance to the little
arbOr, over which the wild hOp-vine
rioted, was fading into the general
dimness.
For half an hour no word had been
spoken. At last Clawson, summoning
up courage, said: II didn't think
you'd let him git SO far, mother, as to
be upstairs there alone packin' his

thinkin' on any subject, Hi Clawson,"
she replied. A tear, of which she
took no notice, coursed its way down
her thin cheek.
Silence reigned for several minutes.
Then Mrs. Clawson said in a sad mon
otone: "Guess you'd better hitch up
the blackboard now; II always takes
you slong to do anything. The stage
starts from Longs at eight o'clock;
it's about seven now"

She answered his impertinence
with a stony stare.

To be misunderstood always made
Clawson finch, embarrassed, rs from
a blow. He rose slowly, moving on
the porch with uncertain step.
Tears began to rain down Mrs.
Clawson's face.
Presently she heard her son COM

followed his step as he strobe into
the parlor; then crossed the hall to
the spare room. Her hearts pulse
