A treasury department statistician
ays that the consumption of flour In
the United States is about one barrel
per year to every man, woman and
child In the country. Minnesota has
307 mills, and can turn out about 120,.
000 barrels a day. The big mills of the
city of Minneapolis produce over one
Ixtli of the flour consumed by our en
tire population.
By the recently issued pilot chart
of the navy department It seems that
the shortest route from the Pacific to
the Orient is from Seattle. The dis
tance from Seattle to Yokohama via
Dutch Harbor is 4240 miles. From
San Francisco the distance to Yoko
hama by the "circle route" is 4536
miles, and by the Honolulu route 5300
miles. This gives Seattle a clear ad
vantage In mileage.
Sir Philip Burne-Jones, the English
artist, says every city has Its own dis
tinctive odor. The smell of London Is
particularly pungent and rather un
pleasant, due possibly to the smoke.
The odor of Paris is entirely differ
ent, rather pleasant. The atmosphere
of Venice has a peculiar flavor of tho
sea. The artist's sensitive olfactories
found the odor of New York not at all
unpleasant. He says It approximates
a perfume.
Public opinion in our own country,
remarks the New York Commercial
Advertiser, is so many-tongucd, has
reached such greatness In volume and
liberty in scope that It is certainly
a unique phenomenon. Not only do
mere people have their say In our
country than In any other, but more
people have their say about more
things. "Brother Jonathan" has been
In danger of losing his character In the

Jailor John U Whitman of Chicago
said the other day In a lecture Before

opinion, if the family hlutory of a bank
defaulter were examined, It Is prob
able that some one of his ancestors
would be found to have been a short
weight grocer or a petty criminal
against society. "Crime," he added,
"is a disease, and its only cure is kind
treatment not punishment, which has
the appearance of revenge,"
According to a report Just issued by
the census bureau there were 33,033
sawmills gnawing the vitals out of
the American forests in the year 1900.
An aggregate capital of $611,611,524
Is invested in these establishments.
The latter are owned by 43,322 per
sons. Employment is given by them
to 283,260 wage-earners, drawing $104,
4140,591 In wages, and to 12,530 officials,

value of the products Is placed at
$566,S32,9S4. But the loss to this and

Thirty-five million dollars Is a large

t
BROTHER ABNER'S AWFUL CAT. i
4
Aimer latttier, a settler In a wild,
detolate r glon of southern Wyoming,
no miles I oin the railroad, captured a
little fat, furry, downy ball of pale yel
low mid white, not unlike a lion's
whelp. Its eyes were just open; It was
too young to lap from a sain ;r at first,
but aft-r a few weeks It learned to lup
milk, on which diet It grew up to be a
docile and obedient cat, much beloved
by all who knew It.
Tor as he was called, was of about
tN lv .(jht of an KngllFh setter, but
a shorter, thicker body, covered
with Kill y fur of bright amber on the
back mid sld"s; underneath and on his
paws his coat was pure white, decorat
ed with rings of black. He had an In
telligent pretty cat fnce, lighted by big
amber ryes, whose pupils, mere silts
of black down the center, would widen
and narrow according to bis emotions,
Just like those of any other cat.
Aimer never taught Tom any
"tricks" except that of Jumping over
a broom handle, but the cat was very
Imitative, and tried to do many things
that he saw his master do. Thus he
he often tried to drink from a dipper.
He would sit up, take the dipper In his
fore paws, and carry It toward his
mouth, but be never succeeded in
drinking the water, always spilling It
on his front, whereupon he would fling
dipper and all over his head.
He slept like a Christian, for he
would get into bed with Aimer, put bis
head on the pillow, straighten out, and
pull the covers up to his chin. But he
purred so loud with satisfaction all the
time he was awake in bed that Aimer
could not go to sleep until Tom's pur
ring ceased in slumber.
At tho first streak of daylight he
would throw off the covers, spring Into
the air nearly to the ceiling and come
down on Aimer, if the man did not
move out of the way or else get up.
A great practical joker was Tom.
All the dogs in the neighborhood were
afraid of him, with good reason, and
he koew It. How to get them to at
tack him was his problem. Sometimes
he succeeded by pretending to lie crip
pled, and limped along to catch the
dogs' attention. Thinking their time
for revenge had corr.e, they would rush
nt him. Then he would suddenly sit
up and knock them down with a single
blow of his paw as fast as they came at
him, even If there were eight or 10 of
th"m.
Tom sat at tho table with Abner dur
ing meal times, and ate from a plate,
catching up bits of food and conveying
them to his mouth on one claw In a
manner considered very conventional.
Abner had lived alone so many years
that he had become somewhat free in
his table manners, and was accustomed
to sop his bread in tho gravy dish.
Tgm, the mimic, followed his master's
example in this particular, and was
very expert If. It, stinking his claws in
a biscuit or a piece of bread, sopping it
soberly In the (Hah, returning it to his
plate.
Abner was of New England stock.
Ho had come west from a small town
In Connecticut, where his two sisterB
Elizabeth and Olive, or "Ollle," had re
mained for many years niter he had
migrated.
Vhn Jlli s Klb.abeth was 35 and Ol
ive about 25 he begun to insist that
they bhould pr.y him a visit. He hoped
they woulii liko Wyoming and stay
with him.
The 12 years since they had seen .Mi
ner seemed much larger to them, be
cause he was such an lndlffrcnt letter
writer. There was plenty to write
about, but ho thought tho lit'tlo hap
penings of his life would not interest
his correspondents, and so he had
never mentioned Tom.
"What would they care about a wild
cat ?" ho reasoned. But now and then
he made his letter more interesting by
enclosing a money order or a check,
with the request that they buy some
little presents for themselves to re
member him by; for Abner had a big,
generous heart, and he had prospered
exceedingly in cattle.
One day It occured to him to go over
and spend the night with Silas Hope, a
ranchman who lived five miles away.
Accordingly he saddled Mike, his fav
orite horse, opened a window In the
cabin so that Tom could come and go
at his pleasure, and put things to right
a little, in case some wayfarer should
come In while he was gone.
It never occured to him to lock the
door. It any man In that locality had
locked his door, It would have been
considered an Insult to all the other In
habitants of the place. Indeed, there
was not a lock bar or bolt on any door
in all the settlement.
Abner Ragner supposed that his
cabin would be tenantless that night,
but two unexpected visitors had for
some days been on their way to make
him a visit. After many talks, con
sultations and hesitations his two sis
ters in Connecticut had made up their
minds to go out and see him. Olive
had proposed writting to Abner and
telling him when they would arrive at
Medicine Bow, but Elizabeth inter
posed: "No, we'll arrive unexpectedly, I
want to see Just how he lives!"
They knew the mail waa carried out
to Abner'i settlement from the Bow on
Tuesday of each week, and so timed
their trip as to be able -to ride out
with the postman.
On a Monday evening they arrived
at the Bow, and the next Morning they
left the hotel and made their way, un
der the guidance of a small boy, to the
stofflce store, where, they were told,
ey could find Klondike, the man
ner.
out in the crisp air and brll
hlne, the sisters looked about
atoaUhmflnt at the 1 V
streetless, ynrdless, fenceless, shade
less, grasslesR. treeless frontier town
which clung close to the railroad.
When they reached the store they
found Klondike busily engaged, help
ing the merchant pack some boxes of
provisions to take out to the settle
ment. He told them very cordially that
I hey were more than welcome to ride
out to Aimer's ranch with him, and he
directed them to sit down on a case of
overshoes until he was ready to start,
which would lo In a few minutes.
The two women obeyed, watching
the (lacking of the boxes with wonder.
Surely a curious collection of things to
bo taken to a farming district, as they
termed tbe settlement such quantities
of fruit and vegetables! When Klon
dike had finished putting up a large
box of condensed milk and cream,
Olive's curiosity overcame her dif
fidence. "Arc there no rows In Mttle Medi
cine?" she asked.
"Yes'm," answered Klondike, re
spectfully, as he fitted a lid on the box,
"there's slobs and gobs of cows, but
we ain't much struck on roundln' 'em
up nights."
Tho sisters, not understanding Klon
dike's phraseology, looked at each
other In silent perplexity and In some
dlfitnay. But when they were once out
on the vast praries their spirits rose.
Looking back they fancied the crest of
white on Elk mountain resembled a
stately marble palace, with turrets,
towers nrd corinthlan pillars. ,
They saw herds of antelopes feeding,
and then, whisk! puff! the creatures
vanished in the open like a whiff of
smoke. At Intervals they came upon
bleached skulls, the only reminders of
the vast herds of buffalo that once fed
on the table-lands; or the desiccated
carcases of sheep, which had perished
miserably in the storms of winter.
Looking backward, Klondike, with
his whip, pointed out some of the sur
rounding towns, marked by puffs of
bluish vapor hovering In the clear,
dazzling atmosphere. The column of
black at the right was Carbon, that
next to it was Manna, while far down
at the left the tiny ring of smoke, like
that from a man's pipe was Larlmle.
Before them the wonderful prospec
tive held still greater surprises. A
small white sunbonnet outlined against
the blue became gradually transformed
Into a sheep wagon; In the remote dis
tance they descried a wasp and two
black ants, which on nearer acquaint
ance proved to be a man on horseback
and two dogs.
"Well," sighed Elizabeth, at last,
with a tone of ono who admits a
damaging truth, "there's more sky In
Wyoming than there Is in Connecti
cut." "And more land," added Olive. "I
believe we shall always go on like this
and never get anywhere. It Is an un
changing earth and an unchanging
sky," she continued. In an awed voice,
Vaud I feel like a little worthless atom
sandwiched between tho two."
"There Is certainly something In
this country catrulutcd to tako the
conceit out of one," said her sister.
Olive, overcome with drowsiness In
cidental to the high altitude, Anally
crept Into tho back of the wagon,
where, she slept with her head on a
sack of dried apples. When Bho awoke,
slio was sure they bad stopped all tho
time to rest the horses, for nothing
was at all changed. Tho mountains,
tho plains, tho sage, everything re
mained the same, while the gray bron
cos pushed forward tlrelesBly on their
quirk, round trot.
It was between six and seven o'clock
In the evening when tho two women
arrived before the door of Aimer's two
roomed log cabin. Elizabeth knocked.
As there was no reply, she ventured to
lift the latch.
"Ab can't be very far off, for the
door's unlocked," said Olive, as Klon
dike drove away.
"He'a probably working In the In
the Holds," remarked Elizabeth,
doubtfully, glancing vaguely over the
expanse of sage brush. "There
doesn't seem to be any gardon," she
added gravely, "nor a sign of anything
planted. I hope Abner isn't Betting
BhiftlCBB."
"We'll have supper ready, anyway,"
said Olive, "I'm simply famished."
Soon they built a fire, and set the
table with fried bacon, tea, and a baked
dish known In New England vernacu
lar as "Johnny-cake." Not knowing
when their brother would, arrlvo, they
decided to sit down at once, and were
about to do so when they were fright
ened almost to fainting. Tom leaped
through the open window.
They had seen wildcats in cages and
In pictures. This one bore In hla hor
rid mouth a struggling mountain-rat,
Elizabeth screamed, but Olive scram
bled up a short ladder leading to the
loft, where Abner kept his shotguns,
amunition and fishlng-tackel. She
was speedily folowed by her sister
and together they drew up the ladder.
Tom, meanwhile, sat - down and
watched tho erratic movements of hla
visitors without apparent emotion. He
had probably planned to worry the rat
for a while on the cabin floor before
killing It; but on scenting the fried
bacon and seeing that a feast was al
ready spread, he abandoned hla inten
tion, and by a dextrloua shake broke
tbe neck of bis little victim.
Of what followed, the Ragner sis
ters could speak afterwards only with
bated breath. Tbe janlmal acted like
one of tbe bewitched creatures of the
old story-books thai tell of men turn
ed into cats by enchantment, Tom
seated himself at thotable, helped him
self to bacon, oppeJjMi bread in the
gravy and ate It, piece by piece from
the end of a claw.
Gradually a sensible Idea stole Into
Olive's mind. "He acts like a per
forming animal at a show," she whisp
ered. "Hush!" quavered Elizabeth, tremb
ling. Tom, having finished his supper,
went back to his dead rat. Taking It
up In his teeth, he approached a loose
board In the floor, clawed It up and de
posited his quarry underneath, with
the evident Intention of serving It at
some future repast. Next, he sat down
In the middle of the floor and washed
his fnce with painstaking care. Then
ho regarded the excited women In the
loft with a wide yawn that disclosed
two rows of horribly suggestive white
sharp teeth.
He seemed to be burled In thought
for a few minutes; then he approached
the bed In the corner, turned down the
blankets, got In, put his head on the
pillow, drew up the covers under his
chin, and begin to purr In loud harsh
gutterals. One paw lay outside tho
cover, and the watchers could see the
long claws alternately tighten and re
lax with tho rhythm of his song; his
mouth seemed stretched In a soporific
smile as he sang himself to Bleep. He
had dined, he had washed, he was com
fortably disposed in bed; what more
could a reasonable cat wish? He was
In a state of beatific somnolence.
"Elizabeth." said Olive, "we are mak-
Ing fools of ourselves! That animal
Is tame."
"He may be tame," said Elizabeth,
doggedly, "and we may be fools, but I
shall not expose my life to the caprices
of any wild beast."
So saying she doubled her feet In
like a Turk, and leaned wearily against
a rafter.
"It reminds me of little Red Riding
Hood," went on Olive. " 'What sharp
teeth you have grandmother!'"
You ought to he ashamed of yourself
for joking when our lives are in dan
ger!" snapped Elizabeth.
The loft was narrow and Incommo
dious and their positions were cramped
and painful.
"I'm going to rise a descent, any
way," said Olive, at last. I'm suffering
here, and I don't believe the creature
will hurt me."
She softly but resolutely put down
tho ladder and descended. Seeing her
sister was not devoured, Elizabeth fin
ally followed. But they sat very quiet,
bolt upright on the hard wooded chairs
all night, starting convulsively ever
and anon as Tom fitfully growled and
snarled, pursuing imaginary game In
his sleep.
The sisters holding hands and half
dead with fatigue, hniled with joy the
first beams of dawn; but then they had
a new scare, for Tom kicked off tho
covers, sprang to the very ceiling, and
falling back on the bed, stood and glar
ed at them. He seemed to hear some
thing coming. Soon tho sisters heard
It, too tho hoofs of a horse. The
horse stopped at the house, and a
brown bearded man entered. What
was tho horror of the women when the
awful wild beast sprang up, put his
fore-pnwB on the man's shoulders, and
licked his face from brow to chin.
"Down, Tom!" said Abner, good-naturedly.
Then his eyes fell on his visitors, his
astonishment becoming delighted re
cognition. Ho took them both in his
firms at once, while veritable tears of
Joy rolled down his cheeks. He was so
glad, so glad! But how did they get
there? Were they not tired and hun
gry? "I sen you have mnde tho acquaint
ance of my pet wildcat," ho added.
"I'm right glad Tom was here, for
though there Isn't the slightest clanger
of your being disturbed by anyone
herenbouts, still the cat is so much
company!"
"We're very, wry hungry. Ab," said
Olive, who was half-laughing, half
crying with excitement and fatigue.
"The rat ate up tho supper, and we
haven't had anything since yesterday
noon's luncheon."
"Yes, brother, and we're about tuck
ered out, too," added Elizabeth. "We
sat up all night. The cat occupied the
bed."
"Thunder!" ejaculated Abner aghast.
"What did you let him do that for?
Why didn't you pull him out?"
The two women looked at each other
shamefaced, embarrassed. Then Eliz
abeth straightened up and replied with
dignity:
"Why, brother, it being your cat. we
thought we'd Just humor him and let
him do anything he pleased!" Youlh's
