Detroit.-This cat has gone to the

Rastus responded to his first alco-
hole temptation several weeks ago
while basking In the sun near win
dow in the office Of Inspector James
Mcnamara. A large haul of whisky
stills and home brew was inspected
in the office. Rastus, quite innocently,
offered his assistance as official tester,
by licking the moist corks and tapping
the dregs from the stills.
Sleeps Off Jag
A few minutes later Mr.. Cat was
seen staggering across the floor. He
crawled up on the switchboard and
purred his jag to sleep.
With his appetite whetted for alcO-
hol, Rastus was frequently discovered
shopping around the confiscated stills,
Kicking the bottles of home-brew and
tapping the stills. While he was
sleeping near basket of home brew
one day cork popped off one of the
bottles and Rastus imbibed in the
flowing liquid regardless of his ca
pacity. One raid netted 362 quarts
Of liquor for Rastus. With half
closed green eyes he viewed the lay
out and wished for more than nine
lives.
"But don't want Rastus scandal

WESTERN ROADS REDUCE
Chicago Lines Plan to Lay OFF 10000
Employees.

Chicago. - Railway executives on
lines centering in Chicago are devils
ing means whereby 10000 employees
may be trimmed from the railroads
payrolls within the next 80 days More
than 10000 men already have been
laid off, it was learned and the redue-
tions in working forces are not yet at
an end.
Western railroads have not yet
adopted the plan of the Pennsylvania
system which recently made a 80 per
cent reduction in operating forces and
a fifty per cent cut in office forces.
Railroads here are simply reducing
their forces where reductions are pos
sible without adopting any specific
plan for a definite reduction.
Estimates available show that the
Chicago. Burlington and Quincy road
has dropped from 1000 to 5000 men
from its rolls; the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and st. Paul, 5000 to 5000; the
Chicago and Northwestern 5000 to
1000; Illinois Central $500 and the
