CAT IS AN EXPERT ANGLER.
Thomas Lures Gold Fish with Tongue
~ e ~ and Catches. Them n.

Thomas Lures Gold Fish with Tongue
2& t and Catches Them.
An unexpected exhibition of fishing
Is sometimes seen by visitors to the
hothouses in Prospect Park, Brooklyn,
says the New York Tribune. In the
hottest room, which is largely given
over to orchids, is .abig tank, (which
keeps the air as humid as possible.
The tank Is well stocked with goldfish
and young carp, and is almost hidden
by t1ower-laden frames which cover
1t. The attendants have always had
more or less trouble in keeping the
small boys from dropping lines with
bent pins into the tank and carrying
the fish Off in their pockets, but they
have learned to look with Indulgence
on the depredations of their pet TOM
cat. Thomas Is very fond of goldfish,
and has learned how to crafty his
pedte-occa sionally. The cat seems
to realize that he win not-of1cially--
be allowed to prey, on the fish, and he
Is always quiet about his hunting.
A visitor the other day noticed a
vibrant tail hanging from the foliage
on the edge OF the tank. An investiga-
ton showed that Thomas was hanging
close to the water, with three paws on
the rim of the tank and the other
curled UP for a quick movement. He
appeared to be drinking; at least his
tongue was busy In the water, though
it could not be seen that he swallowed.
After minute or two guard stepped
up to see what was going on. The Wis
itOr showed the cat. E., vi
"Oh, yes; he's fishin'. He gifts 'em
sometimes, He makes like he's drink
in to fetch the fish up. See! There
they come. He most usually don't git
them, but sometimes he will.''
Sure enough, the fish began to gath
er, indirectly attracted to the wiggling
tongue as to a worm. They darted
past a time or two, then one of the
holder came nearer to try a bite.
Splash! Flap! Gr-r-r-r! And it was
all over, Thomas, with one foot pain
fully wet, but with evident triumph,
jumped from his perch and darted
away through the crowd that had
gathered with three inches of Tapping
goldfish in his mouth.

Yet another humorous story anent
the idlosyncrasies Of the English Ian

him the first word was pronounced

nounced 'koff!'.

were explained with the same result
which the reader may repeat for him

CAN NOT COMPETE WITH RUSSIA
Standard Oil Company Has Found FITS
Waterloo in the Czar's Country.

Standard Oil Company Has Found FITS
Waterloo in the Czar's Country.
1t may be interesting to know that
within Russia's domain the Standard
OIL Company is meeting some of the
most serious opposition of its long life
of plumber. This giant trust supplies
over 90 per cent Of the foreign demand
for oil. 1t has competed with the large
oil interests Of Russia, which are con-
trolled by the ROthschilds and the No
bel brothers, but it has never over
powered them. This is due to the Rus
sian laws regulating foreign trade in
terests. The Standard Oil Company
controls the export price everywhere
in the world except within the limits
Of Russian territory, where compeu-
ton has not been stifled. Russia Is
just as rich in petroleum products as
Is the United States, and but for the
power of the Standard Oil Company
they would be supplied to America by
Russian producers. Russia protects her
oil industry by a 200 per cent tariff;
the United States puts oil on the free
list. The Gar Is not responsible for
this state of affairs. The power Of
the Rothschilds carried it into effect.
These astute financiers pictured to the
bureaucracy the infinite horror Of an
American trust slowly eating its way
into the very center Of public recogni-
tion nv supplying staple commodity
at a fluctuating price. The Roths-
childs told the bureaucrats that If the
Standard OH Company should become
as powerful in Russia as in America
it would only add to the ever-burning
fires of internal mistrust and rebellion
in one way or another. For that rea-
son the Russian government created
the high tariff and permitted the
Rothschilds and the Nobel brothers to
almost monopollze its oil industry
