TRAINED CAT.
The Champion Is to be Found In
Denver.

The Champion Is to be Found In
Denver.
Tom Is a feline wonder. Without
exception he is the most valuable cat
in Denver, says a Denver dispatch to
the Philadelphia Press. This is proven
by the actual cash offers that have
been made for him. They range be-
tween $50 and $500 and all have been
refused.
Atoms value lies not so much IN his
pedigree, although this is without a
blemish, but in his accomplishments
his beauty and his size. He Is owned
by Charles Frazeen.
The cat will perform all the tricks
commonly taught dogs and many of
the tricks mastered by Tom are diff
ficult in the extreme. He is without
doubt the champion jumping cat OF
the world. Mr.. Frazeen Is responsible
for the cats training and when 1t Is
known that the greatest animal train
ers in the world have failed signally
in overcoming the natural obstinacy OF
the common cat the reason for the cats
value can be seen.
Mr.. Frazeen, who is a student of the
species, states that with a single ex-
ception of a group Of three cats train
ed by Prof. Macart there is no sue
cessfully trained cats in the world.
Therefore Denver can be said to have
one Of the four trained cats on earth.
Trained cats are not healthy, as the
handling and necessary training, to-
gether with the hardships Of travel,
make them weak; but Tom, being CIV
en- constant attention and a good, per-
manent home, is in the best of health.
Tom will jump through hoops and
over ones arm to a height of more
than five feet. He will stand or walk
on his hind legs or paws and Will
squeak" for his food. He will sing
wnen requested, but unlike a human
will not indulge in music unless some
one desires it. He wakes Mr.. Frazeen
at 6 o'clock each morning, except Sun
day. when he likes to sleep late.
His most difficult trick, Mr.. Frazeen
saws, is that of seeking like dog. All
that Mr.. Frazeen has to say is Seek
him, Toni" and Tom will dart at the
indicated object or person with arch
ed back, swollen tail and many fierce
meows.
The cats age Is three years. Mr..
Frazeen is willing to bet that the cat
is the largest and heaviest in the city.
he will not give his size. He Is
thoroughbred Maltese and very gentle.

HOW THEY STOLE A NEGRO.
An Incident During Abolition Times
In illinois.

lu
Down at Ottawa the other day some
Of the old residents were telling about
the famous episode of "Nigger Jim,"
which occurred at that place In 1859,
soon after the Dred Scott decision by
the United States supreme court. A
colored man called Jim, who had run
away from a plantation in Missouri,
got as far as Ottawa, which was a sta
ton on the underground railroad, and
before he could be passed on, was ar
rested and held for trial under the fu-
from Missouri, employed able counsel
and the case was tried. before Judge
Cation. The night before the trial g.
company Of citizens gathered, as usu-
al, at Thompsons drug store, which
was q popular rendezvous, and discuss
ed the subject with great earnestness
and suppressed excitement. DR.. Hop
kins and DR.. Stout. the two leading
physicians Of Ottawa; James Stout, an
attorney. and John Hossack, who were
among those present, formed a plan
which they Immediately proceeded to
carry out. The next morning the seats
along the only aisle in the court room,
which led from the main entrance to
the bar, was occupied by selected
Abolitionists and other friends Of hu-
man freedom were detailed to mingle
in the crowd. ready to act upon sig
nal.
The evidence against the prisoner
was positive, and no one questioned
1t. There was not a man in town who
did not believe that Jim" was runa-
way slave, and the law, as interpreted
by Chief Justice Taney, Of the United
States supreme court, was equally d.
rect and indisputable. Judge Cation,
in summing up, stated the law and the
facts, although he took the liberty to
deplore them. He declared In emphat-
ic language that he was not in SYM
pathy with the proceedings, but under
his oath he had no alternative but to
uphold and vindicate what he believed
to be>a wicked law. Therefore, he
was compelled to find in favor Of the
plaintiff and order the sheriff to deliv-
er the fugitive to his owner and mas
ter.
The court was then dismissed. The
prisoner, with his master on one side
and the sheriff on the other, started
down the aisle. When they were about
half way to the door James Stout
sprang upon a chair: Make way for
libsrty!"
That was the signal. The men who
had been placed in the seats along the
aisle quietly stepped In between Mig
ger Jim" and his custodians and held
the latter back, while others hustled the
prisoner out Of the door and into q
carriage, which Maj. James Campbell
had in waiting. "Nigger Jim" has not
been seen in Ottawa since. OF course.
his master was furious, and Judge
Cation boiled with indignation outward
ly at the manner in which law and
justice had been trampled upon. John
Hossack, DR.. Stout and James Stout
were indicted, tried, found guilty and
fined $1,000 each. James Stout plead
ed his own cause, and, when asked
whether he desired any witnesses to
be summoned, demanded that a sub
poena be issued for God Almighty.
The convicted men refused to pay their
fines. The money was raised by pub
lie subscription, but they declined to
accept it and served their time In jail.

DANISH CONSUMPTION.
German Professor Thinks He Can
Mako Men Immune.

German PROFESSOR THINKS TO ~"
Mako Men Immune.
Prof. Won Behring, the famous dis
coverer Of the diphtehria serum, be-
lieves he has found means Of making
human beings immune from consump-
ton by inocculating them with harm
less tuberculosis serum, which can be
obtained from cattle.
The professor refers to this matter
at present with the greatest caution,
and he does not wish to excite over
sanguine hopes, and refuses to an
swer any inquiries before his investi-
cations have been completed.
Prof. Won Behring has been investi-
ga. ling consumption in its various
FORMS He contends that tuberculosis
Infection is in no wise identical with
tuberculosis consumption.
He agrees with the theory that tu-
berculosis is not inherited, but does
not indorse Prof. Koch's idea that bo-
vine tuberculosis cannot be transmitted
to human beings. On the contrary he
agrees with those who think that milk
from tuberculous cows is the chief
cause of the spread Of consumption,
especially in the cases Of infants.
The digestive organs Of the very
young lack the protective tissues which
in adults prevent the entrance of In
fectious bacilli, the mucous membrane
Of an infant being like a porous filter.
Prof. Won Behring is credited with
having found inocculation successful In
preventing tuberculosis in cattle, and
he bases on these experiments the
hope Of being similarly successful In
protecting human life.
The professor believes that when
COWS are so inocculated certain immun-
izing substances pass into the milk and
these can be transferred to human
beings.
Prof. Won Behring will deliver a lee
ture at the annual meeting Of German
naturalists, which Is to be held at Cas-
sci tomorrow, on his recent investiga-
tions. 1t is expected that during this
lecture he will refer to his immunizing
theories.-Berlin Dispatch.

Traveller, through dusty road,
Strewed acorns on the lea;
And one took root and sprouted up,
And grew into tree.
Love sought its shade at evening time,
To breathe his early vows;
And age was pleased, in heats Of noon,
To bask beneath its boughs.
The dormouse loved its dangling twigs,
The birds sweet music bore;
It stood a glory in its place,
A blessing evermore.
A little spring had lost its way
Amid the grass and fern:
A passing stranger scooped well,
Where weary men might turn.
He walled it in, and hung with care
A ladle at it's brink;
He thought not Of the deed he did.
But judged that Toll might drink.
He passed again-and 10! the we'll,
By Summers never dried,
Had cooled ten thousand parching
tongues,
And saved a life beside.
A dreamer dropped random thought;
Twas old-and yet twas new:
A simple fancy Of the brain,
But strong in being true.
It shone upon genial mind.
And 10; its light became
A lamp of life; a beacon ray,
mOnitOry fame
The thought was small-its issue great;
A watch-fire on the hill,
It sheds its radiance far adown,
And cheers the valley still.
A nameless man, amid crowd
That thronged the daily mart.
Let fall word Of hope and love.
Unstudied, from the heart,
A whisper on the tumult thrown,
A transitory breath,
It raised brother from the dust.
1t saved q soul from death.
O germ! o fount! o word of love!
thought at random cast!
Ye were but little at the first,
But mighty at the last! ..

This was apparently a new idea in
demonology for Bruce, for he sank
back, while Moore lighted the fire and
put on the teakettle. He looked
round for the tea caddy.
"Up there" said Bruce, forgetting for
the moment his devils and pointing to
q quaint, old fashioned tea caddy upon
the shelf.
Moore took it down, turned it in his
hands and looked at Bruce.
"Old country, eh?''
"My mother's," said Bruce soberly.

bandages.
All night long Moore soothed and
tended the sick man, now singing
softly to him and again beguiling him
with tales that meant nothing. but
that had strange power to quiet the
nervous restlessness due partly to the
pain Of the wounded arm and partly to
the nerve wrecking from his months Of
dissipation. The Duke seemed uncom-
Portable enough. He spoke to Bruce
once or twice, but the only answer was
q groan or curse, with an increase of
restlessness.

H~ HE situation was one Of ex-

g Something must be done and
quickly. But what? It would be
death to any one appearing at the
door.
"I'n speak. You keep your eyes on
him." said the Duke.
Hello, Bruce! What's the rowp'
shouted the Duke.
Instantly the singing stopped. A
look of cunning delight came over his
face as, without word, he got his rife
ready pointed at the door.
"Come inr' he yelled, after waiting
for some moments. "Come in! You're
the biggest Of all the devils. Come on;
I'll send you down where you belong.
Come, what's keeping you"
Over the rifle barrel his eyes cleaned
with frenzied delight. We consulted as
to a plan.
81 don't relish bullet much" l said.
"There are pleasanter things" re-
sponded the Duke, land he Is fairly
good shot"
Meantime the singing had started
again, and, looking through the chink,
saw that Bruce had got his eye on the
stovepipe again. While was looking
the Pilot slipped away from US to-
ward the door.
"Come backw said the Duke. Don't
be fool! Come back; he'll shoot you
dead!'
Moore paid no heed to him, but stood
waiting at the door. In few moments
Bruce blazed away again at the stove
pipe. Immediately the Pilot burst In,
calling out eagerly:
did you get him?
"Nor' said Bruce disappointedly.
HE lodged like the devil, as of course
he ought, you know"
"Ill get him." said Moore; "smoke
him out" proceeding to open the stove
door.
"Stop! screamed Bruce. Don't
open that door! It's full, I tell you"
Moore paused. Besides" went on
Bruce, "smoke won't touch 'em."
"Oh, that's all right" said Moore
coolly and with admirable quickness.
