An error about cats, and a truly vulgar one, is that they lie on young children's breasts and suck their breath or suffo cate them. Cats like to lie on the breast of the person .they love, and are apt to show their happiness by now and then' lifting their heads for a kiss or gently touching the face or neck above them with their paw ; this sort of pat ting or stroKing a Deioved cneek or throat is one of the more human habits which dogs have not. Seeing one of our cats lying on her master's chest when he was asleep on the sofa, I understood how the notion' Lad taken root; then, too, cats are luxurious and fond of warmth, and may sometimes share a bady's crib or cradle for that reason, as dogs cer tainly do. Temple Bar. Subscribe for The Chronicle. ' i - for Styles. M a v VV xixi. -- JU Australian Dogs. A litter of puppies is at the clerk's of fice about three .day 8 old. They are very cute little animals, all marked alike. They know just enough to scramble over each other, apparently . seeking some thing which their eyes, that have not emerged from the closed lids,' forbid them attaining. They are kept in a large pasteboard box which is placed over the radiator to give' warmth. The clerk informed a reporter that they were Australian dogs, and had been left by a party who took the train and conse quently could not care for them. The mother bad died. Of their characteris tics he stated they were medium in size when grown, of a uniform brown color, very swift of foot and a splendid watch dog. - The puppies are cared for very tenderly by the clerk, who feeds them from a bottle. There are seven. He desires to keep but one, and has already given two away, one to Mr. McArthur and one to Mrs. Frazier. Mrs. Hostet- ler and Mrs. D. M.' French have spoken for two others. There are two left. Tramp's Bluff Didn't Work. A burly-appearing tramp appeared at the residence of Mrs. Verne Koontz this morning and, Mrs. M. D. L. French coming to the door, he asked for some thing to eat in an insolent tone. She is one of those kind of women who won't stand a bluff and she refused point blank. He tbeu demanded some food, and was met with an equally deter mined front not to give it to him. He then said he would go away, bnt would come back "heeled" and she would be glad to give him something. She said she would be heeled too. She sent for the marshal, but there was a little trouble in finding him, and he did not appear soon enough to make the arrest. In the meantime the fellow had hung around the block and came back twice afterward, renewing his demands. Mrs. French maintained her position at the door until he finally went away and was lost to sight. Drlrer and Glenn. '"' Sheriff Driver is frequently taken for Mr. Glenn by parties who imperfectly know them, and the first chance he found to benefit by the mistake was in Portland the other day when he went to arrest Wm. Landis and Ida Walters on a charge of adultery. Knocking at the door of the house Mrs. "Walters opened it and promptly addressed him, "How do you do, Mr. Glenn." It was a very bright as well as a very sudden thought which occurred to Mr. Driver to permit the delusion to continue. He asked where Mr. Landis wae, and when told he was away, told Mrs. Walters to tell him when he came home that Mr. Glenn wanted to see him at the Perkins for the purpose of hiring a cook on the Regulator. : It was not long be fore Landis appeared at the room in the hotel, but he knowing both Glenn and Driver very well, appeared crestfallen to see the latter gentlemen' instead of the one he sought.' Landis was immedi ately arrested and locked up, and the Discount Maier & Benton have moved their Grocery and Hard ware Store in the building formerly occupied by I. C. Nickelsen, opposite A. M.

"I have often been mistaken for Glenn," said the sheriff, "but that is the first time it ever did me any goodv" Squirrels Killed By tn.e Thousands. s Squirrels do more damage in Wasco county annually 'than frosts or Cold weather. A feasible plan of ridding the country of them would be gladly wel comed. In this connection the Spokesman-Review of Tuesday said : Fourteen thousand, five hundred and twenty squirrel tails were received yes terday at the offices of the Spokane board of county commissioners. Of this number John L. . Mullinix, of precinct, brought in 6,654, all been killed with poison. Graves having . Allen Gore, of Graves precinct, pre sented 4,894, and told an interesting story of his campaign. He Btarted after "varmints" in dead earnest with strych nine and a Marlin rifle, capturing " this entire army in eleven days. He ex pended $5 for ammunition and poison and in one day destroyed 1,020.. For the 11 days he cleared over $4 a day and had all sorts of sport. With one ounce of strychnine he got about 1,000 squirrels' tails, besides hav ing the satisfaction of knowing that he bad killed a great many more of the de structive pests. His plan was to mix an ounce of strychnine with a coffee cupful of hot syrup. Having moistened a 10-ponnd bucketful of wheat with water, until the substance was . eoft, he poured the poisoned syrup over it and thoroughly stirred the whole mass. By adding a handful of flour, just enough to coat it nicely, be made an enticing and pa". it able, as well as effective dose. , The Spokane commissioners are con vinced that the one-cent bounty plan is the most successful remedy for the squirrel pest that has ever been adopted in that county.
