IT WAS THE CAT.
TNs following pathetic story about a cat comes from AshevilIe, N. C.:

TNs following pathetic story about a cat comes from AshevilIe, N. C.:
 Emma. perhaps the best known cat in North Carolina, was killed by a train at Asheville, and large number of persons attended the funeral there dashed at robbers who were compelling her master. s. H. Alexander. to unlock his safe Alexander was tn ereby en- abled to seize a pistol shoot one of the men and raise a general alarm.
 Now we know that many people are disposed to regard cats as neither more nor less than unmitigated nuisances and pests, good for nothing but to catch occasional rats when hungry and to get out on the backyard fence and yowl when people want to sleep. IT, ritable men will swear at them, throw boot-j bottles and old shoes at them and in all other ways treat them as if they were common enemies of humanity.
 But here, If you please. was a feline that not only deserved a well-attended funeral, but a handsome monument as well. We are not informed as to Emma's qualifications and reputation as mouser. but when 1t came to per forming a duty to her master. faith fully fearlessly and efectually. she was all to the good. We hear often of the faithful dog who guards and protects his master, but not often does the humble feline perform such a brave act as this one did Regardless of threatening robbers with guns ready. she went for them as she might have gone for a spiteful dog and saved the masters money and perhaps his life. thereby doubtless preventing a cat astrophe.
 And. as The Raleigh Evening Times views it, the manner of her taking off, too, was pitiful. As the farmer who was kicked out between the plow-han- dies said. T am old and have lived a good life, and do not mind dying. but I hate to think of being kicked to death by a d-d mule" so this heroic cat must have felt as the wheels of that rumbling train passed over her glossy fur. Had her light gone out as she slept in the sunny spot on the back porch, or had she closed her eyes for ever with her head on her favorite brick on the hearth. all would have been well. but ground to death by a ruthless engine of corporate greed is saddeninG to contemplate.

ou, amendment the report of the com- mittes which had the question under aav,sement, men will hereafter be ad- r,itted 10 full membership who are acting as motormen on ordinary inter urhsn electric roads---the only restric- tion being that the line which they work shall operate rsiors than twenty miles outside of an incorporated city. and that the applicant shall have had six months road experience.
 The report is even broader than that
 1t takes in slmost every man run ming a train by motive power except motormen on city surface car lines.
 The convention took the broad. ground that the motive power of the future will be electricity and that If the Brotherhood wished to retain Its stand ing 1t would be absolutely necessary for 1t to broaden. Motormen operat- ing electrical engines which have taken the place of steam engines are. of course, taken in, as It was this which brought the question up. In addition, motormen on elevated railways or sub. ways are eligible. and motormen on roads operated twenty miles or more outside of city.
 It has been suggested that the Broth erhood be divided Into two divisions -one electrical and one steam.

 It all depends on how one looks at it.. Out in the country when the hot sum- mer days come on, the boy who Is sweating behind the blow or at the hoe handle, thinks how pleasant it the big city, where the sun cant touch him and he would have no hard work to do. At the same time. the clerk. who Is sweating and roasting in hot little office in town, turns his thoughts longingly towards the shady forests and the birds. and the fishing streams, and the swimming pools of the coun- tSy. It all depends on the point of view, at last.

A CURIOUS CASE.

A curious instance of the uncertainty and often injustice of the law is re- ported from Philadelphia. It seems that a man named Benjamin was driv- ing in his wagon and a boy who was stealing a ride was thrown out by Ben jamin. the wheels of the wagon passing over the boys body. Benjamin way arrested and held under a bond of $ioo to await the result of the lads inju- ries. The case came up again last Friday and then 1t was stated that the boy had died of his injuries and upon that statement Benjamin was com mitted to jail without ball on the charge of murder. Then the account continues:
 Officers assigned to investigate the accident were surprised to learn that the boy was at a hospital, that he was alive and that he was gradually getting well. Hmm edia tely following this dis covery an effort was made to have Ben could not withdraw his commitment, and the coroner could take no action, as the case did not come within his ju- Tl&QicLlOn. A resume or the facts In the case convinced tn ose concerned that nothing could be done to secure the mans release. except by securing a writ of habeas curpus-and money would be required in that process. As late as Saturday. Benjamin was still fin prison acknowledged by court and coroner to be innocent of the charge against him. yet held In durance by point of law which has absolutely no bearing on that charge.
 This may be law. but Is it fair and just? A man who has been committed to prison through a false report is shown to be innocent of the charge against him. yet there was no way to release him except through expensive habeas corpus proceedings. We are not informed as to what. if anything. has been done for his relief. but it does seem that the discovery of the error which cauSed his Imprisonment should have resulted in his immediate release from jan. The law has some curious phases.

SOME INDIAN DrsHEs.

Charles Gibson .one of the best. known writers among the Creek In- dians. contributes many readable arr ticies to The Indian Journal. of Flu faula. Oklahoma. In q recent paper he tells of dish or diet that was once favorite among the red men and still is popular with some of them. Here 1t is:
 .n Is handed down among the In- dians that one who is fond of skunk meat ,h. VIII never take consumption, and or sore eyes. It Is also said that skunk oil IS good for throat trouble if ren. Serea SeIed from ron, skunk made mad before with croup may be greased with the oil mus obtained and cured.

 This recitsi may revive memories among some members of The Adver- tiser force. but they were unfortun- ately ignorant of the numerous quail ties of the animal that caused such a commotion in this building some weeks ago. Whatever else may be thought of 1t. we doubt if any reader of this can produce an animal that can be put to more and more variable uses than this despised little beast. Let ting that pass. however we append an- other of Gibson's recipes that we think will meet with more favor. Here is what he says of An h-pus-kee:
 This dish has been named by white 1t. as the stun seems to cool the water in which 1t is mixed. An -pus-kee is made thus; Take quantity Of what with ashes until quite brown. pound 1t in mortar until 1t is very fine. pour strained wild honey over it. knead it until the honey Is absorbed. put 1t in then store 1t away in a dry place and take according as appetite directs,
 When an Indian goes upon long little sack of ah -pus-kee. He can sub sist upon this food alone for days and weeks.
 Ah-pus-kee win make bad water some and one of the Indians rarest dishes. The recipes may be varied by mixing with 1t little roasted poapdngl peanuts, which sweetened with w!fd honey-yum. yum!
 In the long ago we have often heard those who had lived among the h. dians, and were familiar with their customs and habits speak of this dish. It was sometimes called eeolaparche." but we do not know whether this was an Indian term or not. Cold flour" was the whites mans name. as ah- pus-kee was the Indians, and we have been assured that it was the most economical and sustaining food that could be carried. and that an Indian could keep up his strength and endur- ance longer on this than on double or treble the quantity of anything else they could procure. We suspect that this cold flour. if carefully and prop cry made. would not come amiss to the hungry white man on a journey. It is not difficult to make and was easily kept by the Indians for quite while, and was always ready for use.
