Smithers has made all arrange

Two Men in Bath of Molasses.

While emptying barrel of molasses
into a big molasses tank in Hoboken,
n. j., the other evening, John Hill
lost his balance and fell into four feet
of the sticky stuff. The barrel fol-
lowed and struck him on the head,
dazing him. Owen Farley, fellow
workman, jumped into the molasses
up to his armpits and held Hills head
above the surface until help came.
Then he tied a rope around Hills
waist and the latter was hauled out.
Hills scalp was cut by the falling bar
rel, and seven stitches were taken in
the wound. 1t took several hours to
clean up the men after the molasses
bath.

trievinr Game.
The firemen at the East street en-
gine house have black cat which is
remarkable for several things. 1t
possesses six toes on each foot, and
during the past year it has had about
two score and ten kittens which have
all had the same number of digits.
The cat also has become follower
OF the hunting game in more ways
than the average feline has aspired to-.
1t has an excellent record for hunting
rats and mice that can be found about
the premises. but 1t is also hunter
after the fashion of dogs. One OF the
firemen takes trips into the neighbor-
Ing places for hunting birds. and
wherever he goes the cat is sure to be
with him. Whenever he brings down
any game the cat is there to claim the
quarry.
II is said that the aimal will follow
the person in question for miles in
order TO get the game, and 1t cannot
be deceived for as soon as one of the
fremen in the house starts out with
a gun the cat is always faithful fol-

was taken with some success, and the
cat seemed as pleased at the results

Turtle Helped Himself to Ducks.

For some time past James Harvey,
a farmer on Boyd road. near Ports
mouth, n. H., has repeatedly missed
handsome young ducks. What became
of them was mystery. He finally
decided to watch the ducks. and after
hours of constant watching he learned
the kidnaper was a large turtle in
one of his ice ponds. which, when
hungry, would come up beneath the
ducks while they were swimming and
help itself to the best of the flock

line of his finger he discovers what it
is to which All Sin would attract his

Perhaps nearly, If not quite. sixty
seconds have flown since he first re-
ceived the dire news-sixty precious
seconds, during which the doomed
train has been shooting on toward

His positive intention is to have the
telegraph agent wire the conductor in

the awful danger ahead, and having
him use extra precautions when ap-
