X opened at the Bay District Track bj the
I Pacific Coast Trutting-borse Breeders' As
sociation, who will then commence their
summer meeting on August Ist, continuing
on ' the 4th, 6th, and closing on the Bth.
Some very liberal purses are offered, such
1 as SIOOO on the opening day for the 2:20
, is., which ought to bring out a strong
i field, as Wonder, Charles Derby, Silas Skin
| ncr and George Washington are four of the
' probable starters in the field of six that is
* believed will come out when the bell taps.
% The Bay District Track will bo in good
b order, as it is already being got In shape for
I the meeting. Many trotters are already at
I the track and working over it daily. Con
■Wf terable repairs, however, are needed to
pel the free-fielders and uninvited guests,
Jj who are only too anxious toskip in through

Tin: FALL ril'i'lir.
From the Bay District the trotters and
ff I sidew heelers go to San Jose, where, on the
I loth to the 151 inclusive, the usual fair
%\ I will be held. Mixed in with the harness
J* racing will be a good programme for the
runners, the two divisions alternating.
Then conies the Chico meeting, followed
._, by the Golden Gate Fair at Oakland from
X August 31st to September stn, and by the
State Fair at Sacramento, which promises
to be the very best held yet. This onens on
Wj, September Stli and will continue to the lflth,
£ trotting and pacing alternating daily with
t the runners.
» The Fair Association anticipates such a
4 large attendance of horses that instead of
the usual nine days' racing meeting they
4 have extended It to oleveu days. What
with the other regular fairs and the fall
« meetings of the Breeders' and Blood-horse
f associations, lovers of racing will be af
f forded all the opportunities they could wish
I for to see the cracks contend for the
g^Lsupn-aiacy.

TORMENTED THE ELEPHANT,
fAnd Tip Fairly Wiped Up the Ground
With Him.
"The circus is subject to a system of
blackmail, plunder and robDery en route
that is unheard of in any other business,"
said au old-time circus man to a Pittsburg
Dispatch reporter. "It requires the most
diplomatic management, and, after all, the
company must submit to all sorts of extor
tion to escape attachments. These are
|[j ievied upon the ticket-wagon just before
the evening performance, or upon a
pole-wagon as the tents are being pulled
• down. As the delay of a trial, or even a
" hearing, would cost thousands of dollars,
there ii no other way than to submit. This
1 sort of robbery occurs in almost every town
where a circus goes. The company may
t think it is getting off all right, when sud-
I denly some accident, some chance injury to
1 property, or something of that kind, affords
■, an excuse for a levy. When I was with
Forepaugh I soon found that the attach
ment racket was dreaded ami (eared more
by the veteran showman than any other evil .
I One time we were showing at Syracuse.
A drunken countryman had been wander

He finally approached Tip as the elephants
were lined up to leave, pulled a flask of
whisky from bis pocket, and tried to pour it
in Tip's trunk*. Tip resented tins invita

wiping up the ground with his tormentor.
But for Dan Taylor and others the man

" Old mau Forepaugh took it all In. lie
knew that the show would be detained and
probably miss the next date if we didn't get
off, -a he told Dan to throw the man in a
wagon and bring him along with the show.
We didn't know whether he was dead or
alive until our doctor declared it a case of
drunk. But next morning, when the man
had sobered up, he had no more idea where
he was or bow be came there than the roan
. in the moon. Forepaugh sent for him and
told him in his choice vocabulary of adjec
tives that. he was a nice man to hire out to
the show and then get drunk and tight with
the elephants the first night. 'Yon are dis
charged sir! You are discharged!' the old
man thundered, and the leliow sneaked
away, utterly collapsed."

A Teacher's Am rising "Protest.
The Fitchburg (Mass.) School Committee,
at a recent meeting, discussed a matter
winch seldom comes within the province of
a public body to determine. It was in rela
tion to barefooted, knickcrbockered urchins.
On one of the holidays of this month young
Daniel Healy, a pupil iii Miss UosmePs in
termediate school, came to school, bis father
says, witii his bare legs and feel. Miss Hos
mer sent him home, saying tiiat she would
allow no pupil to come in that condition,' as
it was indecent. . His father appeared be
fore the committee and contended that it
was his inalienable right as an American
citizen to send his boy to school barefooted.
Then came an amusing discussion. - K-v. V.
O. Hall held that it was highly indecent for
a boy of young Healy's age to be in a mixed
school in knickerbockers and bare legs. He
believed the teacher had as much right to
make this rule as she had to order the chil
dren to come with clean faces. Mr. Gallin
ger didn't believe tliat it would improve the
condition of the little boys to make them put
on trousers which would reach to their
ankles. Air. Smith made a strong plea for
that cut of trousers commonly designated
"high waters." Messrs. Brazier aud Macy.
made their pleas for the youngsters' comfort
■more forcible by recounting the delights of
their childhood days in such costume. Mr.
White and Mayor Graves said that Miss
Hosuier had exceeded her authority in mak
ing the rule. The matter was then referred
for settlement to the Superintendent and
the visiting committee of the school.— Globe-

OUR BLISSFUL FUTURE.
In Thco«oi>liical Eyes Tt Is I.lke i'ntii a
Corkscrew*
There was a big attendance at last night's
meeting of the Theosophieal Society, and
the lecturer, Dr. Allen Griffiths, deeply in
terested those who knew enough about the
osophy to comprehend his philosophic ut
terances. His subject was the " Great Mys
tery," and it was treated in an eminently
mysterious manner.
11.- held that man is a progressive being,
passing from universe to universe, and ever
expending his mental faculties. He is
traveling upward in a spiral line.
When the doctor had finished the question
was asked, " Hun lon* does man continue
on this spiral line?" The reply was that be
is ultimately absorbed in the absolute.
This was satisfactory and inspired a
gentleman with a patriarchal beard to in
quire where we were before we dawned
upou this universe. He thought that as we
are to inhabit many universes in the future
we have inhabited some in the past-
The answer was: "No one can tell. Be
fore there wits life on the earth there was
life on the moon, and that life may nave
been transmitted to us."
Dr. Jerome Anderson said it was a ques
tion which no one but a Methoaist preacher
could answer, but the Chairman intimated
that thorough students of theosopliv could
answer that and questions like unto it.
WISCONSIN'S WONDER.
'Tis a Clock and It Does All Sorts of
Curious Tilings.
In spite of falling rain the parochial
school building in connection with St.
Paul's German Lutheran Church in Janes
ville. Wis., was recently crowded with
young and old, eager to see the mysteries
connected with a most wonderful clock on
exhibition there. ■:.,■'-•■
The timepiece is divided into four parts—
gecgr.iphical, astronomical, musical and
numerical. A little bell strikes every
minute. The first quarter hour represents
childhood; the second, youth; the third, mid
dle age, and the fourth, olifage. As the clock
strikes! the hours a corresponding number of
apostles make their appearance, from 1 to
12. Above them stands Jesus blessing them.
The twelve signs of the zodiac are repre
sented. Aid and 13 o'clock a sexton rings
a bell, an old man kneels in prayer, the cock
crows and the organ is played. There are
four dials on each side of the clock, show
ing the years on one side and the leap years
on the other.
At midnight heathen cods make their ap
pearance, and scenes in the life of Jesus are
represented at noonday. The four seasons
are represented by appropriate figures, as
are the moon's phases. The clock was built
by Mr. Martin, a millwright of hell warzwald,
Baden, and is .said to exceed in Ingenuity
any other clock ever exhibited in the United
States.— Jewelers' Weekly.
HE KNEW HOW.
The '"lumber Who Made Out nig Bill in
a Unique Way.
"1 paid a bill the other day," said a large
manufacturer to the Detroit Sun, " without
a murmur, simply because of the way it was
worded. My engineer found that his hot
water pump would not work, a nd after pot
tering at it for an hour concluded to send
for a machinist. lie bothered with it half a
day and concluded it must come apart. I
was much annoyed, for that meant the stop
page of my factory for a long time. Before
1 gave the Order to take it to pieces someone
suggested 'bat a neighboring engineer be
.sent for, as he was a sort of genius in the
matter of machinery,
-'Tic came, and after studying the pump
awhile he took the hammer and gave three
sharp raps over the valve. 'I reckon she'll
go now,' he quietly said, and, .putting on
steam, 'she' did go. The next day 1 received
a bill from him fur $25 50. The price
amazed me, but when 1 bad examined the
items 1 drew a check at once. The bill read
this way: 'Messrs. Blank & Co., Dr., to
John Smith. For fixing pump, 50 cents.
For knowing how, $25.'
"Had he charged me 825 50 for fixing the
pump I should have considered it exorbi
tant, but 50 cents was reasonable, and I rec
ognized the value of knowledge; so 1 paid
and said nothing." -■ ....

That harmony which should prevail
among members of the same craft Is at
present unknown to . the pavers. The
original union, now seventeen years old,
has been depleted by the secession of a
powerful faction, which has not only formed
a new union, but has taken the name borne
by the old. The new organization meets
weekly and has elected I representatives to
the Council of Federated Trades.
The first meeting of the old union, since
the secession, was held yesterday. It was a
largely attended and very enthusiastic as
sembly. The seceders were unsparingly
denounced, and the representatives of the
press were informed that they had gone out
because they were in debt to the uuioti fur
dues and assessments.
Tne secessionists, so say the members of
the original union, will be denounced
■ throughout tie State as "inveterate scabs,"
in aecoidnnce with the following provision
of the Constitution:
Any member or members fouud endeavoring
to cause a division among us In regain to form
ing another association in opposition In mis
shall be denounced as "inveterate scabs," and
Ilieir names shall be published throughout the
State. •
Many of the members of the new union
waited about the hall until. the oiigiual union

which had been given them.-by the parent

The Coast seamen have just beard that a

"And now, as to our being foreigners,
some of us are; but if we were willing to
accent foreigners' wages we would be very
decent fellows, and nothing would be said
about our nationality. It is very probable
that some of these patriotic gentlemen who

ELOPED FROM CAROXDELET.
A Young Couple Married Respite Paren
tal Objections.
Pretty seventeen-year-old Katie Wnible
has deserted her home on South Broad
way, near Lesperance street, and is sup
posed to have eloped with a young lover
named Henry F. Filer. Filer is about 19
years old and is employed in the genera!
office of tha Wabash Railroad Company as
a junior cleik. It seems that about two
months ago tbe young couple met at an en
tertainment given by a musical club on
South Broadway and fell in love at first
sight. Young Filer at once asked permis
sion to call open Miss Waible, which was
granted by her. Her parents, however,
ejected him from the bouse on the first
night, stating that they would nut hpve
young men calling on their daughter until
she was of line. The young people, how
ever, determined to see each other. Almost
every night Katie would go out, suppos
edly to call upon some of her girl friends,
but really to meet her lover. .Not many
weeks passed before young Filer proposed
marriage and was accepted by the girl.
Filer determined first to ask" the girl's
parents for their consent to the union, and
uuon refusal the young couplemadeup their
minus to elope.
In pursuance of this re.«olve. Filer, with a
beating heart, approached the mansion of
the Waibles last Monday evening. He rang
the bell and was ushered into the parlor by
the father. For a few minutes everything
was serene. But Filer changed the subject
to the more weighty one of matrimony by
asking point blank Mr. Waible's consent to
bis daughter's engagement with him. Mr.
Wnible was speechless and angry by turns.
He called the ycung man hard names and
ordered him from the bouse. Flier tried to
reason with the irate father. The mother,
who had been listening to the conversation,
came Into the room at this juncture, armed
with a stout stick. She commenced beating
the young man over the head with it, ex
claiming as she did 80, "You will try to steal
my daughter from me, will you?" The ar
dent lover hastily beat a retreat through the
door and lied down the street
Al! the-next day and the following one
the young girl was kept in the house by her
parents, but on that evening she obtained
permission to take a short walk. She at
once sought tiie residence of her lover, and
they arranged to leave the next morning as
early as possible. When the hour of 8
o'clock arrived Katie was sent on nn up
town errand by. her parents, and has not
been seen since.
From a friend of Eller, named Joe Kruse,
whom he had taken into his confidence, a
Globe-Democrat reporter learned that the
young people had arranged to get married in
St. Louis, but owing to the rough treatment
the lover received at the bands of the girl's
parents they decided to have the ceremony
performed in Belleville, and left for that
burg accompanied by Kruse. On arriving
at East St. Louis, however, the bride-elect
suddenly remembered that she had ; a
number of relatives iv Belleville, and posi
tively refused to go any further. A con
sultation was then held, and it was deter
mined to turn back and try Clayton for a
marriage license. Kruse decided to remain
in. St. Louis and arrange things for the
young couple'? departure for Kansas City
in the evening, as Filer has a number of
relatives living there. It was also resolved
to take up an abode with bis wife at that
place. About 1 o'clock in the afternoon the
couple returned united in the bonds of wed
lock, and left for their new home in Kansas

The writer of an article in tho Youth's

of the big bends of the Missouri, the neck of
which was not more than a mile wide.
* The scouts and Indians were skirting the
river two miles to the right Suddenly sev
eral shots were heard in that direction, and
a herd of 700 or 800 antelope was seen swoon
ing over the prairie. The cavalry, with the
. wagon train spanned the narrow neck from
side to side, so that the antelope found them
selves in a cul de sac, from which there was
no escape. ,

column and the scouts, had full view of the'

During the lulls in the firing he signaled

A NOVEL COMBAT.
. Deadly Conflict Between » Bed Squirrel
and a Black Snake.
A Hamilton (Ohio) special to Cincinnati
Enquirer says: William Copeland. a fanner,
. living a short distance south of Colllnsville,
was in town to-day telling the particulars of
a strange combat lie witnessed last Sunday.
Mr. Copeland is a stanch Christian and
was on his way to church when- the affair
occurred. He was making a short cut by
passing through a clearing on the farm of
William Xeal.
Suddenly his attention was attracted by a
most -peculiar noise, It took him some time
to locate the singular sound, which all the
time was growing louder and more fierce.
He finally traced it to a large tree on the
edge of the clearing. He went up to the
tree and discovered that it was hollow.
Looking through a big hole in the side he
saw an enormous black snake in deadly
conflict with a common fox squirrel.
The duel must have been in progress for
some time, as there were long gashes iv the
reptile's skin, showing the effective work of
the squirrel's teeth and claws. The lour
footed antagonist bore no visible marks of
the fray. Neither paid any attention what
ever to Mr. Copeland, aud, in tact, his pres
ence seemed to have no effect on the battle.
The squirrel would jump down on the
snake, and in a few minutes they would be
mixed up in a whirling mass, the squirrel
barking at a lively rale and tbe reptile hiss
ing savagely. In an instant the squirrel
would appear to disengage himself and
bound out of the reach ofthe snake. After
resting a while and evidently recovering his
strength tor another assault the squirrel
would suddenly give another leap an.l fasten
his fangs in the snake's neck, just back of
the head. 11l this position the reptile could
do nothing except lash himself into fury,
while- his little, enemy hung tenaciously
with claws and teeth. Again bounding up
the inside of the tree, out of sight of Mr.
Copeland. the sqinel could be heard chat
tering defiantly at his antagonist it looked
as if they were fighting rounds just as the
men do in the prize-ring. While Mr. Cope
. land stood there he saw fully half a dozen
of these rounds, every one of which was de
cisively in favor of the squirrel. Some
times in bis impotent wrath the serpent
would writhe about the bottom of the hol
low trunk in fearful rage, the squirrel bark
ing mockingly at the performance. One
time the squirrel jumped out on the edge of
the opening and remained perfectly still
until the snake dart.-d at him. Before he
could "land," however, the squirrel WHS
just beyond reach. He kept up this tantal
izing action for some time, and, judging
from his laughing bark, seemed to enjoy
the reptile's discomfiture. ■„ i
In making one of his terrible lunges the
snake threw himself entirely out of tim hol
low. The battle combined as before, tho
squirrel making one of his quick attacks
and nimbly bounding out of leach before
the snake could recover. Mr. Copeland
finally, after several rounds hal thus been
Inuglit, concluded to put an end to the
novel combat. Securing a large club, he
dealt the snake a brow that stretched him
out on the grass. The squirrel, still bilk
ing at a lively rate, scampered : up the tree,
and from a bough continued to chatter and
watch the proceedings. The 'snake when
measured proved to be the largest snake
ever seen in this section. It was nine feet
four inches long, and three feet below the
head measured nine and one-fourth inches
in circumference. The skin will be stuffed
and placed on exhibition. *y I -,
ART OF SHEDDING TEARS.
Sarah Iternliarilt Cannot Cry anil She
Will Never Learn How.
I do not say that fie abseuce'of tears
shows a lack of feeling. For instance, the
greatest of living actresses, Sarah Bern
hardt, spoke upon tl-.e very subject with me
at our first meeting, which was on the Ly
ceum stage after a performance of "lolan
the" (King Rene's daughter), says Ellen
Terry in the New York Herald. The scene
was still set. It is a garden. Dear me:
How she dazzled and Interested me ! She
flitted here anil there, pretending to smell
the 'lowers — she rustled and i ustled— shim-
-shimmer went tier drees— and flit— rlit
went she, lt made line think the garden
was real— my own stage garden that 1 had
been acting in. She seemed to me a butter
fly, ami I— an elephant! 1 did feel heavy,
dull anil stupid by tlio side of her. It was
the first time 1 had met hor— off the Stage.
She chatted away all the while In French,
since she couldn't in Knglish, and thereby
showed her wit, all the time charming us— or
me, at all events— and holding the situation
most completely. I remember that evening
(when she left o'l flitting, and proved to me
she was not really a butterfly by eating some
asparagus for supper after the play) she
spoke to me about my real tears in "King
Kent's Daughter," not ' with surprise, but
with interest and sympathy, and told me she
could not cry. But I know that she felt like
crying, though her tears did not come. "It
is ii very penurious and skeptical love which
must underr-tand before it can sympathize."
Although 1 did not see " I heard her tears,"
and knew they were in her soul! No, de
spite all that Diderot and even -M. Coquelin
have said to the contrary, 1 do not believe
that an actress can really move her audience
unless she is herself affected by certain pas
sages. But to teach the art of shedding
tears is as impossible as it is to teach the art
of feeling. : '-. '
HE DOESN'T MENTION IT.
'Tis "The City" or "The Hay," and Only
the Tenderfoot Says '• Frisco."
When you hear a man say, "I'm going to
the city," says the Oakland -Times, "you
may know that he. lives here in Oakland;
when he says he has born Mown to the buy,'
you can bet on his niral residence; when ho*
calls it 'San Francisco' he is a globe-trotter
from foreign parts, used to such polysyl
lables as Soringniiataiii and I'oiidlclieriy ;
but when vi.ii hear a temporary chap with
a yellow grip and a plaid overcoat talk about
"Frisco," you are safe In locating his nativ
ity and life-long residence in Boston or
Puilunk. The ban Franciscan himself never
mentions the name of his town if he can
avoid it."

A missionary doctor was well acquainted
with a native practitioner, a man of consid

brought to his home one day and showed
with natural pride his three fair-beaded lit

ions are indeed beautiful, but if 1 may say
so, their hair is, perhaps, hardly dark
enough." He produced a buttle. " A dose
of tins taken internally three times a day
would maKe a wonderful improvement."
He went on with more embarrassment:
"There is another thine about them that I
hardly like to mention." - His friend reas
sured him. ; "Well, if you will allow me to

FACED A TIGER.
How ; a Kin" 'r of the Forest Was
Slain by a Half-Breed.
It Was Nobly Done and the Hunter's Nerve
Never Faltered So Much as a
Hair's Breadth.
It was in the. State of Mirandeo, New
Venezuela. It was in the morning, and I
was with Manuel, the tiger-hunter, on the
mountain. ' ?- ' ,
I do not know how long Manuel and the
tiger faced each other there in the narrow
path like gladiators. | It seemed a long time.
This was the test The tiger waited instinct
ively to see the strange thing before him turn
and run away as . everything else in the
forest invariably did, but greatly to his sur
prise the thing stood its grouud like an im
movable rock. The tiger was king of the
forest, and he knew it, and when he bad
' made up his mind that this thing was nut
going to run he came forward slowly to in
vestigate. This was courage, even ,' in ; a
wild brute, and I respected him for It. I
doubt if the lion or the tiger of. India has
this unshakable nerve.
I looked: at Manuel as the tiger came
slowly and cautiously along the path. He
stood like a bronze statue, with bis spear
held over his right shoulder. .Not so much
as an eyelid moved. I confess that during
tTiis trying time I was a bit nervous. | This
".'as a new way of hunting to me, and a de
cided novelty in tin- actions of a wild beast
which had not been attacked. I should ex
pect an attack from a grizzly bear after it
had been wounded, but assuredly the bear
would not take the aggressive, as this lithe
and beautiful beast was doing. I will
"•.'.•knowledge that my heart thumped against
my blue flannel shirt so hard that 1 was
afraid that the noise would attract the atten
tion of the tiger.
Slowly came the tiger: like a rock stood
I Manuel, It looked as though the case had
been reversed, and that tiie tiger instead of
the half-breed was the hunter.
At length the tiger was within touching
distance of the man. He looked the bronze
figure over from head to foul and then
thrust forward his head and sniffed at the
,i...:i's feet. Back the great beast sprang
like a steel spring. The figure was flesh aud
blood.
The tiger's tail twitched back and forth
like a flail. The great jaws opened in a
snarl. Quickly the beast measured his dis
tance and crouched with quivering sinews
till a spring. Such cairn courage was graud
beyond all description. It was matched
only by the steadfast nerve of the man.
Now came the ci isis. I could see the hugo
muscles heaving under the striped skin. . In
another second the tiger would leap upon
his prey, In that Instant the hunter made
a motion with his left arm as quick as light
itself. He tore a handkerchief from his
neck and thrust it full in tiie tiger's face.
I'], went the, tiger's head in a quiver of elec
trical amazement. Tbeu the hunter's poised
.nt arm shot forward with incredible
force and the spear buried itself half-way
to the handle in the tiger's neck.
Ah, it was nobly done; aud throughout it
ail, from the beginning until the wonderful
ending, the hunter's nerve never faltered so
tuueli as a hail's breadth. Before 1 could
catch my breath and swallow the lumps of
apprehension that had risen unbidden iii my
throat the fierce beast was dead in the path.
I scrambled down from the. rock and
stood beside the head forest-king. Manuel
picked up bis handkerchief aud pulled out
his spear. There was a faint suggestion of
smile about his impassive face.
"Does the Seuor Americano believe?" he
asked.
"He does," I answered, and 1 reached
lii.ii my hand In that universal brotherhood
of man which civilization can never efface.
By the side of that dead tiger the savage
nod the son of civilization were on the one
common level of man. There could be no
difference.— X. Y. Recorder.
"THE PRETTY CREOLE."
From a Meat India Island Hume to the
Throne of France.
A bay divides Troll Islets from the town
of Fort de France, and we can fancy the lit
tle Creole maiden crossing the deep water
on her way to the convent school in the
larger town. Here she learned the accom
plishments that she afterward brought to
grace the palaces of the Luxembourg and
i cileries. From tho sugar-mill of a West
Indian plantation to the throne of France
is a strange transition; vet Josephine seems
to have left in both ber widely differing
spheres affectionate, memories that time has
nut wholly quenched, is the way that Mary
Shears Roberts tells the story in July St.
Nicholas. '.' -'*'.: '"T.T:
In Martinique the simple folks speak of
her wlih reverence and tenderness to this
day. In her childhood she was called •by
her father's slaves " the pretty Creole," and
on ncr birthdays it is said that M. de la
Pagerie allowed each of his negroes a day
of rest, and provided ah entertainment for
them while " Fifiue" distributed alms to
the sick and poor.
On going to make her first visit to France,
at tne age of l.'i, the beautiful eyes of Jose
phine were dimmed with tears as Trois
Islets faded from her view. Even after she
became the wife of M. de lieauharnais her
thoughts were ever turning back to her well
beloved home.
When troubles assailed her she sought
again her i-land home, bringing her little
daughter ll. utilise. While in Martinique
she resumed her Creole dress, aud when
brighter days arrived and she returned to
France the pleasanteat surprise she could
arrange for M. de lieauharnais was to pre
sent to him the small Hortense clad in full
Martinique costume.
In alter years when, as wife of the great
Napoleon, she had riches and power at com
mand, she filled her bountiful gardens at
Mulmaisoti" with choice exotics from her na
tive isle. One of these, a most rare and
beautiful plant, the Amaryllis gignntea, the
only one in France, was visited and admired
by throngs if people. - -
TO GET RID OF RATS.
Feed Them Dry Fluster of Farts and It
Will Set In Them. . iT T :,,*'
The house of a St. Louis man was re
cently overrun with rata, says the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat. Ho tried traps, but not a
rat did he catch. He placed poison where
the rats could not fail to find it, but the
pests refused to partake. At last he mixed
Cornmeal and flour in equal parts 'and to the
mass added a tiiird ol its weight of dry
plaster of pari*, stirred in a little sugar to
sweeten it to taste, and set the pan contain
ing it in the cellar, placed near by another
pan full of water.
-""The theory was that the rats would eat
abundantly of the cornmeal and plaster,
which would mate them thirsty, then they
would go and drink, and the Blaster they
had eaten would set and inspire them with
a yearning desire to die at I lie earliest oppor
tunity. The receipt worked like a charm.
A!! ninht lung he could hear the rats squeal
ing ana fighting in the cellar fnr a chance to
get to the meal pan. and he chuckled to him
self as he thought how miserable they would
be after their repast. In the morning the dish
was empty, the water was all gone, and he
waited for the rats tv die. He had not long
to wait. - They died plentifully enough, and
as time passed he knew from the odors
{which arose from every wall and floor that
his experiment in rat-killing had succeeded.

PUCK MEYER'S BEAR.'
Another That Managed to Get the Best or
fit Vindictive Quartermaster.
The story of the scattering of the ashes of
"Puck" Meyer from the top of the statue of
Liberty recalls his pet bear, which some peo
ple say had such a fondness' for liquor that
it died from delirium tremens. That is about
all there is to the story of "Puck" Meyer's
bear, but this recalls the history of a bear
which belonged to a Maine regiment in the
war..
The regiment was renowned for its fight
ing qualities. Indeed, it is said that the
men from the Pine Tree State who were in
that particular regiment could not get. up
an appetite for breakfast unless there were
some early morning fighting. Hut, what
; ever the credit that as due and was given
,to the regiment for its daring and valor,
there was one taint on its reputation. It
: was believed that there was a sorry lot of
thieves -in the regiment, and - a certain
quartermaster hated every man in it from
the Colonel down to the smallest drummer-
boy.
-There was uo doubt that a good many ar
ticles of luxury were stolen from the quar
termaster, but it was no easy matter to detect
aud punish the offender. Finally, in a mo
ment of desperation, the - quartermaster
himself determined to play detective— to
catch and to hold tho thief or thieves.* He
found the knave at work one evening just
after dark, and there . was a deafening up
roar a minute later, for, as an officer in the
th Maine, who afterward became a gen
eral, said: "No quartermaster, who ever
lived could lick a Maine bear." The bear
gave the Quartermaster a beautiful thrash
ing, and while the riot was In progress the
members of the th went to the stores on
the double-quick. They liteially sacked
the wagons, and for a week the regiment
which boasted a pet bear "lived on the fat
of the land."— X. Y. Tribune.
