Bully Who Ordered Him

ON all Mr.. Roosevelts life on the
frontier" says Jacob Riis, writing about
the president in the Outlook, "he was
molested only once. and then by drunk
en- rowdy, who took him for a tenderfoot,
and with a curse babe him treat at the
point Of his two revolvers, enforcing
the invitation with little exhibition OF
gun play while a roomful Of men
looked stolidly on. Roosevelt was a
stranger in the town and had no friends
there. He got mp apparently to yield to
The inevitable, .practicing over mentally
the while a famous lefthander that had
done execution in the old Harvard days.
The next instant the bully crashed
against the wall and measured his length
on the floor His pistols went off harm
iessly In the air He opened his eyes TO
find the -four eyed tenderfoot standing
over him, bristling with fight. while the
crowd nodded calmly. Served him right
He surrendered then and there and gave
mp HIS guns, while Mr.. Roosevelt went to
bed unmolested. Such things carry far
on the plains. Done was ever after that

THE CAT OBJECTED.
Accidentally Imprisoned in Vacant
House-Released After Consider
able OmoinI Red Tape.

French official redtapeism led to an
amusing scene recently in a provincial
town, says Golden Penny. An old man
having died, the Judge de Paix for
mally sealed up the house till the heirs
should take possession. in accordance
with Gallo law But the neighbors
were soon disturbed by the most
frightful noises and "meeowings." and
found that the house cat had been
sealed up inside with the rest Of the
dead mans property. and, as the Judge
had done his work most conscien-
tiously, not a single exit remained for
poor puss.
The neighbors dared not break the
seals to let puss out. so. after some
days, applied to the nearest magis-
trate. He was equally powerless. and
a formal petition had to be handed in
to the president Of the civil tribunal
for legal authorization TO open a sin
gle crack in the building Then the
Judge de Paix and his official sol
EMMY proceeded to the house, and
formally broke the seals. with the re-
suit Of liberating a very starved cat,
which. being exceedingly wild and
splteful from its long imprisonment,
ungratefully flew at the unlucky judge
as he opened the door,
