An Inquisitive black cat straved Into
the llilstol Methodist Eplacopul church
on a recent Sunday evening Just Ic fore
the services began says th) I'lttHbtirg

There were very few people In the
church at the time but the loud and
plaintive mewing of Ihe stranger at
tracted their attention and they w.ilcii-
ed Its movements with lutereht.
The animal climbed up Into the r'unlr
lot perched upon the railing and look
ed down upon the congregation. After
a time several members of the choir
arrived and the cat acampered awny.
finally climbing down one of the wood
en plllara which supported the choir
loft and wnlked down Into the alle.
Several of the congregation endeav
ored to coax the cat into their pews.
but the proud pussy Ignored them and
with atately dignity climbed up Into
the pulpit and Mt on the bll). When
tha pastor came In a moment later he
found the cat In possewlon of the pul-
pit but the animal took kindly to the
preacher und began to purr and arch
hla back at the latter'a approach.
The pastor took the rat by the ba k
of the neck and handed It down to un
usher who carried puis out of the
church. "Thla la a good omen breth-
ren" aald the pastor and then he went
on and preached his sermon.

Thry were constantly following me
about the mines and on day I noticed
that they were busily engaged In fath-
ering up little bits of quarts and put-

cy the labor very much and would go
lo the mines every morning and work
there during the day. It did not take
me long to learn their value as laborers
and I decided to procure more. So I
