BROKE THE RIDING RECORD.
1 Half -Breed Who Made 22o Miles in Ten
• Hours at a Gallop.
FOR HOMELESS CATS.
Institution Established by Pussy's
Friends in Washington.
The very severe winter weather which
has been unusually prolonged in Wash-
ington, has turned all charitable hearts
to the consideration of the suffering
that exists. The poor citizens have been
cared for, to the extent of the means
at hand; the birds have been fed by the
kind-hearted, dogs are under the care
of the District, but the poor, homeless
rat, the friends of the felines say, would
bo entirely forgotten were it not for the
comparatively few members of the
Washington Cat Club. If not neglected,
possibly they would be maltreated by
heartless persons. -
For several years it has been the con-
stant effort of the club, both in summer
and winter to institute a home and a
shelter for the downtrodden stray, the
outcast and wanderer of the cat family,
the much despised and ill-treated alley
cat, which by reason of the carelessness
and thoughtlessness of citizens is a nui-
sance and a pest. The homeless cats of
the city destroy property (the flower
beds, young chickens, etc.,) disturb slum-
ber ,wreck nerves and wring hearts
through their sufferings at the hand of
the small boy and the vicious adult, and
are a menace to the health, not only of
our pets, but of our children ants of
our households.
The cat's condition is not of its own
making, it is urged. Its roving and night
}fowling is not of its own seeking, but
through the hardheartedness of man
it is forced upon it. If a eat howls, it
is condemned, but if it sits for .lours
watching for a rat, inan's most despic-
able pest, it gets neither credit nor re-
ward, and when the snow is deep, and
there is no way for it to get a morsel
to eat, it is forgotten. It will not even
be allowed a sheltered place, be it the
cold of a back porch, to lay its weary,
hungry, but patient body, if the ordin-
ary human is cognizant of the fact.
After many trials, the surmounting of
many obstacles and with much hard
work in conducting shows, and many
hours of thought and discussion on the
part of the club members, their object
has been accomplished. A cat home ex-
ists and has for several months past,
and the energies that the club commands
are taxed to maintain it. The home is
located at 1830 32nd street northwest,
directly opposite the old reservoir, one
of the highest points of the city. It is
a neat little two-storey basement brick
house, nicely painted and kept by the
couple in charge in the prime of neat-
ness and good order.
The basement rooms are set aside for
the cats, and runs in the large yard
forty by sixty feet have been erected.
The yard is protected on the north by a -
stone wall surmounted by the regulation
fence, making an enclosure at least four-
teen feet high and on the west by a
brick building, which, as will be seen,
protects the runs on the north and west
whence the cold winds blow.
A hydrant in the yard supplies plenty
of fresh water, and several large shade
trees will produce the necessary shade
in summer. There are quite a number
of cats being cared for at present, and
all who wish are cordially invited to pay
a visit to the refuge.
Boarding pet cats is one of the fea--
tures and its only source of revenue.
The whole object in the organization
of the Washington Cat Club was the en-
deavor to protect and in every way bet-
ter the condition ofh t'
ofthe domestic cat,by
fostering the love of them, improving
the breed of the best varieties, caring
for the homelese ones and painlessly
riding the lives of the hopelessly sick
and maimed. With this object in view,
it is the earnest wishof
t e t theclubtocon-
tinue the refuge and home where the
broadest humanity and best methods of
care for these beautiful and useful crea-
tures are employed.
To accomplish this the club asks the
co-operation of all those interested in
the real wel-fare of the cat in lessen-
ing the number of vagrant, starving
ones in our streets and alleys. It is hop-
ed that those interested will join
the
club and that contributions for
the
maintenance of the home will be forth-
coming.
Bearding cats will be fed and cared
for in strict accordance with the own-
ers' wishes and instructions. They will
be called for and delivered free, within
the city limits. A small fee will be
ellar rete for calling for stray eats.--

we didn't always go so fast as you do
now, but we made speed that would as-

"I remember one trip an old friend or
mine made, a big cattleman from Iiitti-
taseo unty, afterward the owner of eon-
siderable property in Seattle. His di-
vorced wife was living here, and she took
it into her head to go after him through
the courts for nonpayment of alimony.
There were a number of reasons why he
shouldn't pay, but lie didn't care to stay
here and argue it out with the courts,
so, getting a tip on what was doing, he
decided to go back to the cattle in Kitti-
tas.
"About 6 o'clock one evening, accom-
panied by his horse wrangler, who hap-
pened to be with him, he struck out on
horseback for Ellensburg. The two rode
all night—'it was in midsummer and at
the full of the moon—and the next
morning they ate breakfast in Ellens-
burg -110 miles away And they didn't
think it was much of a ride at that.
"At that time nearly -all the Indians
on the reservation had a half-breed or
at least one pretty good horse in their
riding strings. This particular young
half-breed boy had an extra good one,
and he was selected to curry the des-
patches, being a reliable and faithful
fellow. Well, he rode .through to Walla
Walla in 10 hours, a distance of 120
miles, and during the ride he never slow-
ed down from a gallop. That was in
midsummer, and if you ever have been in
that Snake River region at this season
of the year you can imagine that was
some riding."—Seattle Post -Intelligence.

Hospices of the Alps.
The Hospice of St. Gothard, which a
despatch from Geneva says has just. been
destroyed by fire, was useful in its day,
but that day has been past for about ten
years. -tithe construction of the St. Goth-
ard railway has put the foot traveler by
that route, lost in the snow,. and found
by intelligent dogs, wholly out of busi-
ness; and of late the old hospice has
served as an attachment to a rather
modern ]hotel, where one can live in more
or less comfort for 8 or 9 francs a day.
The famous )hospice is that of St. Ber-
nard, further west, that. was founded
by Bernard de Menthon in 962, and that
is still doing useful work on a rather
reduced. scale. The original St. Bernard
dogs are believed to have come from the
Spanish Pyrenees, but it is said that the
old breed is extinct. These hospices
were really the mountain hotels of the
old days, those who were saved being
expected to express their gratitude by
liberal gifts; and in the middle ages
sten did pay royally for that kind of
service. In these later years most per-
sons give about the usual hotel rates,
while the modern facilities of travel
through the Alps make a large number
of the visitors mere sight -seers. The
St. Gothard building doubtless had its
reco•}lectiony, but for all the practical
uses of a mountain hospice it was merc-
y a relic of conditions and needs that
no longer exist.—Hartford Courant.

The Judgment of the Experienced.
In a recent address to the Boston
Boot and Shoo Club Franklin P. Shinn -
way stated the results Of a canvass of
one hundred leading advertisers on the
question whether they intended to in-
crease their advertising appropriations
this year. Forty-seven replied that they
contemplated. increasing their expendi-
ture from 15 to 00 per cent, over last
year. Forty-two said that if they
should advertise more extensively they
could not handle the increased busi-
ness. The remaining eleven, for various
reasons, declined to be interviewed. As
all these firms had had from three to
thirty-five years' experience with adver-
tising, the general tenor of their replies
speaks pretty well for publicity. And
what is good for the big advertisers is
proportionately good for the little ones,

By Special Invitation.
Every business man who has a sign
on the door of his office or above the
entrance to his store is a believer in
advertising. That sign represents his
effort to acquaint the public with the
fact of his existence, and so far as the
minute proportion of the population that
passes his door is concerned it inay be
effective. But if it be worth while to
make an attempt, however( feeble, to
attract the attention of hundreds o
passers-by, is it not proportionately im
portant to reach out for the hundreds of
of thousands whom chance seldom brings
to the neighborhood? You can't see the
city from •your front door step, and the
city isn't going to come to you with-
out an invitation. Let the newspapers
circulate the invitation.

How Flounders Are Caught,
Flounders, called "flukes" in the More-
cambe Bay district, says the London
Graphic, are caught by means of stake -
nets pegged far out over the expanse of
yellow, treacherous sands. These nets
are -valuable, and aro from a foot to 18
inches in height, and about three hun-
dred yards in length. They take the
form of a vast crescent when hi position,
and prevent the fist from being swept
far out to sea by the outgoing tide. As
soon as the tide has left the nets, the
fishermen come and clear them, some-
times taking thirty or forty .pounds.of
fish from the gutter behind them. Oc-
easionally a salmon is captured, and in
f winter curlews and ducks get entangled
in the meshes.

Indian's Explanation of the Trinity.
There are about five thousand Indians
in the Mackenzie district, of wbom at
least four thousand five hundred are
Christians. Sometimes their faith is
tested by occasional travellers. A mis-
sionary fresh from that northern terri-
tory relates the following of how one
Indian explained his faith: "After being
ridiculed about his religion for some time
by a white man whom lie was carrying
down the river in a canoe, the Indian
without a word in reply pushed his canoe
alongside the snow covered ice, dropped
his paddle, and, taking up his hatchet,
heaped the snow, then cut a square in
the ice. Lifting out the ice, he exclaim-
ed: 'See! See water, see ice, see snow!
Put in kettle, boil, all one. You don't
know, I don't know; believe just the
same!'"

The Maimed Beggar.,
It is a violation of law for men to beg,
whether they have lost either legs, honored
names or noble aims, and yet the average
man does not think of the illegality of the
requests that are made upon him• What he
does think about it is the shiftlessness of the
mortal who adopts this method of galnlug
a livelihood. He usually demands to know
wily the man does not secure some such
emtloymont asz, he would be capable of
doing. The man moll le by asking for
employment. ilo admits that there ought
to be many things that he could
do, if he could only get a chance, The
man who has tried to argue with ono
01 these maimed beggars has not found
it easy to score a victory over him. The
beggar is maimed, somebody ought
togive him a chance to earn a useful
Ilving—you can't give him the cbanco
but you can give him a quarter. And
you do give hliu one. So noes the neat
man he calls pn, and be really has a
better paying job than any he could
fill 1f ho had his two legs. The police
know how the maimed man who sets
out to collect enough money to buy a cork
leg becomes a professional mendicant, ao,l

Now comes the professor of an easter col-
lege and declares that the earth fa becoming
unsteady on its axis, and that we need not be
surprised at any wobbling effects. That's all
right for a stage college professor to put
up that kind of a talk, but the average
citizen will not get very far with it. No
living imagination is required to guess the
language the ordinary wayfaring husband
would hear if he roiled in about 2 a. m.
and tried to explain his usteadiense by
quoting that professor's talk about the
earth's axis being afflicted with locomotor
ataxia. It won't do. It's much wiser to fol-
low the old method of pleading guilty and
throwing yourself on the mercy of the court.

Smoothing the Waves Ahead.
(Philadelphia Ledger,)
Vice -Admiral Guimares, of the Brazilian
' navy, has brought forward a 'bottle gun."
The gun is made of bronze, but the chamber
at the breech which contains the propelling
charge is of steel, The projectile, which is
loaded at the breech, is an ordinary wine
bogie filled with sawdust steeped in oil.
When the gun is discharged the bottle is
broken and its contents scattered over the
water for a considerable distance. By dis-
charging the gun every five minutes a
smoother pathway is made for the advancing
fleet.
