An Error About Cats.
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.

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

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.
