STORIES OF THE CAT. Legends and Facts About the St: 11 but Half Tamed Animal. “There are few tales of cat fideltry and many of <i>g, yet one think* no worse of the cat for this," says an observer. "His very independence compels respect. He walks 'by his wild lone, waving his wild tail, through the wild woods.’ as an inspired modern writer has set forth. All the generations have not served to tame him. and the moat domestic of the race wsli revert sooner to a wild life at the call of the blood’ than any other friend of man. It is thus scarcely surpn-sing to find that the most famous cat lovers have been drawn from the ranks of politicians and poets, those whom reasons of state or a sensitive temperament have rendered averse from trust-’ ing their fellow creatures and who consequently bestow all their affection* upon the "fireside sphinx.’ We are invited to believe that the most famous of all cats, he who brought fame and fortune to his master. Dick Whittington, was no four legged vxiimal at alt bat merely the French word ’achat’ — to buy and sell at profit—and that the great merchant made a pet only of his merchandise from the very beginning. • Thus in later years do the idols of our youth topple about our heads. “But other legends—nay, facts—are left us. Cardinal Wolsey, for instance, when acting in his official capacity vs ■ lord chancellor is said to have had bis ' favorite cat always seated beside him, ■ and another prince of the church. Rich-, eiieu, found his only relaxation ’n keeping a number of kittens in h's Brtvate cabinet and watching their v»n»bols during his spare moments. -We cannot reedy reckon Richelieu as a true lover of the race, however, for directly the kittens grew to three months be bad them sent away and replaced by others. Lord Chesterfield left in his will fife pensions to his favorite cats and their kittens. Victor Hugo’s great cat Chanoine always sat on a large red j ottoman in the center of his salon and! received his guests in state, showing! marked displeasure If any one failed to caress or praise her. •Tasso wrote a sonnet to his favorite cat, and Petrarch bad one be loved as dearly, we are toM, as Laura. No doubt she was the confidant of many of his trials and consoled him for much of the fair lady's disdain, and when pussy died the poet had her embalmed in the Egyptian fashion and carried her mummy al»nt with h.m everywhere. Baudelaire, the French poet, a very shy man. was always ill at ease in any new bouse be entered until the family cat was brought up and introduced to him. after which, with the cat on his knee, he was perfectly happy in his silent poet fashion.

“Traditions respecting cats are. of course, legion. From time immemorial they have teen regarded as somewhat uncanny, omens of weal or woe, beings to be either conciliated oe crushed. The cat worship of ancient Egypt and. later, the Roman creed that the cat was sacred to Diana speak of the one: the wild charges of witofacraft —or concern in it—rife duricg the dark of Europe will attest the latter. But there is another popular belief deserving also of mention, that which sets forth the old maid as the cat’s only friend, a legend arising in the mediaeval nunneries overran with mice, where one or more cats were always k-.- t t and v.-cre ao dau'„t much, petted by the good nuns.” — Chicago News. A Hard BurinL Some few winters ago a gang of carriage washers was engaged washing carriages on one of our northern railways when one of them remarked to his mate, an old soldier who was famous as a long bowist "It’s awful cold this morning. I ►avid.” “Cold! This is nothing,” said David. “I remember when I was in Canada in ISO— one of our mates died, poor chap. And you will have some idea what sort of frost it was when I tell you it froze the body so stiff and the ground so hard that we had to get hammer and chisel, make a nick in the groind and then drive him in with a pile driver. That was the only way we eooM give the poor chap deceat burial”—London Answers. Using the Eye*. A scientific writer quotes Helmholtz as saying that in his work he could only liken himself to the mountaineer, painful;, and slowly climbing, often obliged to turn backward, lighting later on new traces leading forward, and finally reaching the goal, only to find to his eonfnsi-yn that a plain road led , thither, if he had only had the eyes to see. L>arwin said be thought he was superior to the common ran of men in noticing things which easily escape attention and in observing them carefully. Cheap Generosity. A great smoker banded Lis cigar case to his right hand neighbor. “Thank you, but I den t smoke.” said the man. He therefore banded it to the man on the left who made the same reply, whereupon his wife nudged him and said. “Why don't yon hand It to the captain?” “No. thank you; he smokes.”—Nos Loistrs. The Mean Thing! “Who was that fool you bowed to?” "My husband.” “Oh. I—er—l—humbly apelogire. I”— “Never mind. I’m not angry. But what a keen observer you are!”— Cleveland Leader. Did you ever notice thAt the *l*e es trouble depend* on wbetber it is eosn- | tag or aoing?—Mankato Free Preen.

COLORED BOY IS A WONDER. Richmond Lad *im> Beats any Watch Ever Made. Richmond. Ind.. May 9.—Ernest McKay. a colored boy. 12 years old. is known as the human titne piece” because of his ability to tell precise’y the time- of day or night without be- ’ ing compelled to rely on watches or clocks. McKay also is declared to be ; able to forecast the weather with unerring accuracy and to foretell disasters. Some of his own race say he .is a hoodoo.” Dozens of times each day the boy iis stopped on the streets with the query: “What time is it. Ernest*” and instantly he responds, even to the half minute. Various tests have been made in an effort to discover how the lad computes time so unerringly without the aid of the usual devices, but the mystery only deepens. I knows what time it is. just because I knows it. ” declared the boy when asked how he was able to tell i the hour of day or night A few ; days ago a number of men sought to entrap the boy. He was called into I a store, and. after being questioned for several minutes, one of the men j pulled a watch from his pocket, and ; handing it to Ernest, said: “My boy. iif you will look at the face of thia watch and tell me the time. I will give I you a dime.” Quick as a Cash the boy replied; “Your watch says it is !•' o clock, but the right time is 1? minutes to 9.” And that was the correct time. The men had plotted to set the watch more than an hour ahead of time in hopes of rattling the youngster, but were not successful. ESTA IVULA McGILL. • Infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George ' McGill, was born on the fifth day of May, in the year of 19*<. Quietly, but perceptibly her God given life was developing. Like a flower in a ear den. which grows and blooms under the tender care of the gardener, so little Esta grew and bloomed under the tender care of her parents. She was the pride and delight of her parents. Unconsciously Esta was cheering up the hearts of her parents, and encouraging them to follow out the path of their duty. The budding rose is often plucked from the bush, and many a child is taken in its infancy from its mother's bosom. There is a reaper whose name is death And. with a sickle keen. He reaps the bearded grain at a breath And the flowers that grow between.” This fearful reaper also visited little Esta and toot her. ps we hope and trust into the home of eternal bliss and felicity. It was on the sixth of May. 1907, that Esta passed away. Her premature death was caused by the dreaded malady pneumonia. She reached an ag- of one year, and one day. Her stricken parents, many relative* and friends mourn her loss.
