Cat Released From Prison.

After nearly two years imprlson.
ment between brick walls four stories
high and only a little more tnan three
inches apart a cat has been rescued
bN means of lariat.
The feline dropped into the crevice
when 1t was only few weeks old and
has been there ever since-fed and
cared for by families residing in the
buildings
The prison which 1t occupied so
long is between two buildings in East
Fourth street. The crevice is closed
in front and back by tin roofing.
Efforts which the kitten made again
and again during the early days of its
Imprisonment to climb the slippery
walls only TO fall back were watched
with sympathy by the neighbors, and
they became divided into factions
those who thought the kitten ought to
be killed and relieved of its misery,
and those who held that while there
was life there was hope.
The latter fed the cat and gave IL
water by means of long string. Dis
contented neighbors many times threw
It bits OF poisoned liver. but the ami.
NAL never touched II. Meanwhile the
cat grew. and every effort was made
to release 1t, but without success.
A few daEs ago the story became
generally known, and came to the no
tice of a cowboy who, with an old lar.
lat soon dragged the cat from its
prison, thus removing source of
much worry to the Society for the Pre-.
vention of Cruelty to Animais.-New

startled b. the news that the Spanish
had blown up our gallant battleship
Maine in Havana harbor, Captain
so,cao was in Baltimore, Mj, conduct
ing his exhibition. He was doing an
enormous business and was under
heavy bonds and ironclad contract to
play a season of two months, but
when he heard of the great disaster
and knew his country needed his aid,
he threw up the contract, paid the
bond closed up the show and within
four hours after the news had been
broken pra ented himself to the United
States authorities at Washington. He
was at once accepted as the most ex-
pert submarine engineer in the coun-
try. and within five days he was de-
scending in the dark Shiny waters of
Havana harbor amid the tangled
wreckage of the stricken battleship,
What others dared not attempt he ac.
compished with the greatest ap-
parent ease and SKILL From out the
frightful charnel house of death he
brought body after body of gallant
sailor men until the hearts of those
about mis- sickened. Day and night he
worked in that dangerous twisted ana
torn mass recovering the dead, and
when the last body that could be got
ten out had been sent up he turned
his attention to the wreck and 1t was
his ia timony and investigation that
gave the court on inquiry its first
proof that her magazines had not ex-
ploded as the Spanish claimed. The
establishment of this fact by the In.
trepid captain sent a wave of indigna'
tion across the continent, which grew
and grew and finally broke in the bays
of Santiago and Manial to the destruc-
ton and confusion of the Spanish
fleets. 1t was the captain to whom
the credit was due and 1t was to nim
the credit was given. The greatest
naval and army heroes of the country
shook his hand and thanked him for
his gallant services. BY reclamation
of the people he is Americas premier

A Girls Elaht With an Alligator.

A frail, slender girl, Miss Nelson
one fine night in April, 1903, sat quiet
" beside ner mother From the next
room where the two little children
had been left came a strange grating
sound. The older sister stepped to
the door between the two apartments,
only to turn pale with dismay and
horror, for there, fast asleep on the
hearth rug, lay the little brother and
sister, and crawling slowly across the
floor toward them a great, Shiny alli
gator, evidently attracted to the house
by the hope of young kittens or pup
pies, wriggled and writhed It's
wicked, stony eyes, grim with baleful
light were fixed on the unconscious
babies, and the wide jaws, open and
ponderous, dripped with the foam of
eager, unsatisfied greed. Frantically
calling to the dogs outside the front
door to enter and help her, the brave
girl caught up the large lamp that
stood just within the mothers room,
and hurled it full at the horrible, gap
ing jaws. Then, leaping aside to es.
cape the furious onslaught thus
brought upon herself, she stopped
quick as thought, and tossed upon the
nigh bed in the corner the suddenly
reused and frightened children. She
turned from this task to find that
the infuriated alligator, diverted from
its original purpose and confused by
the unexpected attack, had dashed
straight through the open door and
made its way to the bedside of the
helpless, terrified mother. Without a
seconds hesitation the devoted daugh.
