 It preys on human beings which it 'chsws." :" Instead of burrowing in the ground, or hid ing in hollow trees in the woods and noun tains, as it ought to do, it focks to large towns and cities where 1t lives on the public streets, chiefly at the corners thereof
 Although very annoying it is not exactly fe- rocious, and it is against the laws to destroy it without just prcvocation. Such an act would be olassed under the head of "Crueltv to Ami. mals."
 Bores may be divided into six classes, ss fol- lows
 l.-The Button>holers.
 2.-Ths "O-By-the-ways."
 3.-The "SaysTs."
 4-The "You-knows.
 5.-The "They-says"
 6.-The 'fYou-don t-happen-to- havetwo-bits about-you, ,-do-you 2'
 The Button-holer lies in ambush for you at the corner of the street, attacks you suddenly, surrounds you, captures you, holds you pris> onsr for one hour twenty minutes, during which he delivers an oration on some interesting theme-all this at such time ss you have business of importance to transact, and every minute is valuable to you.
 The "O-by-the-way" is the class of bore who comes into your newspaper office while you arc in the midst of your leader, talks con- tinuousy an hour and three quarters, without saying anything, and finally makes move- ment as if to take his departure then you are just mentally cougratulating yourself on your happy deliveraace, when he suddenly returns to the attack with

 He then proceeds to unfold tale of some. thing which he considers very funny, and which he relates with great power, winding up with the instruction to you to write it up and publish it in your paper; which you promise to do for the sake of getting rid of him, although you would as soon think of publishing your own obituary.
 The "Says-I' comes suddenly upon you any. where and at any time of the day, just as you are commencing to read letter from her on whom you place higher estimate than you do on your own poor life. No use trying to es- cape; you've got to listen to him while he gives fulsOme account of the last bitter quarrel he had with his motherinlaw, whom you have never seen--two of every three words he speaks being, Says L" T just told her-sayS I, I know betterl' says I. Says I, Its no such thing saysI As he warns up with the sub ject, he gets the "Ssys r abbreviated to "S'si" and he goes on, minute after minute hour after hour, Says Ping and "S'sp' ing and ''S'i'-ing, and signing, till he becomes regu- lar Bridge Signs, and the cold perspiration starts from your frame, you grow weak in the knees, and fall to the earth in a S sJasm.
 The "You-kRow" is, perhaps, a somewhat mider species of bore than the foregoing. His attacks, although none the less severe, are not always so unreasonable, and he sometimes shows real gimpses of hnman reason. His forte is to tell you a story-One that he has already told you three hundred and seventy times-about some trihing circumstance which happened when he was boy going to school, making his recital three times as long as it need be by using so many ''You-knows," and hesitsting a mone after each one, as if ex- pectng you to nod assent "So, you know-I, you knOw-kept right on, you knoW-and, you know-just at the end, you know-ot the road, you knOw--
 Thus he goes ou for hours, while you are chiefly occupied in trying to keep awake and accord him proper amount of attention responding with ayes to his knows"
 The "They-say" talks continuity about ab- sent parties whom you know little and care Iess about, throwing out dark hints against their integrity, honesty, virtue and the like, and sverlaItngly giving the infalhbie "They-say" as his authority.
 The "You-don' t-happen to-have-two- bits about-you, -do-you 2" is one of the visst and most repugnant of the bores. He is a seedily. dressed chap, twenty nine years old, who does nothing for his support, lives on the "old folks" and asks you every time he sees you for the trihing sum oftwo or four bits, as.uring you that he expects to get some money that even.
