GOOD STORY WITH A MORAL Excellent Illustration Showing That Nobody Amounts to Much Who Doesn’t Hustle. There was a largo Thomas cat that bad Its habitation In a store, the To peka Capital says, it was reported to be a One blooded animal from a family of distinguished rat dustroyers. The cat was a beauty and everybody round the store took a turn at furnishing grub suited to thu taste of a blooded cat. It was observed, however, that there was no reduction of the rat or mice population, and the proprietor of tho store commenced to inquire Into the reason why. He Aral tried the cat on s rat that had been caught in a trap, but the feline expressed no Interest or animation, lie looked at the rat and then walked away. The storekeeper was disappointed, but not entirely di» couragud. He thought perhaps that cat's specialty was mice, and as be hud a mouse or two that had been caught alive In a trap, be turned them loose In front of the cat, but it paid oo more attention to them than a sheep would do to a rare done beef steak. "I think," said the storekeeper, "that I am onto this situation. I will Are the next employe who gives that cat any thing to eat." For two days the Thomas cat did a good deal of howling end wore a look of Injured Innocence. He felt that he had been wronged, and was ready to start an Insurrection, but as that didn't seem to get him any where, he turned loose on the rata and mice In a way that was surprising. Tho second day after thia change of programe the rats held a convention to consider what ought to be done. When the leading orator among the rats arose, he said: "Fellow rata, this is no time for talk. What we want to do is to move. That cat hasn't any more natural ability than he bad be fore, but be has concluded that he either has to hustle or starve, and 1 have discovered that when a cat gets In that frame of mind his neighbor hood Is no place for rata.” Many men and women, as well as rats, have never amounted to a whoop lust because they never had to bustle.
