In Jail.

Quite Il number of our citizens got
into Jail on the evening of the first inst.
men too who had never been in jail
before III all their lives such as law
yers. doctors, clergymen, justices of the
peace. trustees, listers, Judges, military
men and civilians. 1t was the tenth
wedding anniversary of Sheriff w. H.
Preston and wife. The evening passed
very pleasantly indeed aud the album
dance of tin ware, useful us well as
ludicrous, gave spice to the occasion.
Among the latter were ii pair of tin
handcuffS, Il tin "hilly," tin cat
hole" etc. Another feature of the
evening entertainment, was IL CON
gratulatory letter from the prisoners,
appropriate to the occasion. 1t was an
acrostic poem, elegantly made with IL
pen, the first letter of each line being
in handsome text, and spelling, " ". II.
Preston and rife" 1t was signed, The
Boarders at your Institutions"
Another event of the evening, and
one which had its sad side, was il visit
t" the prisoners in the Jail. of which
there are now six. After quite il pro-
tracted visit, some came away with the
fact more deeply impressed, that the
way of the transgreSsor is hard, even
with as kind keepers as Mr.. and Mrs.
Preston.

Cruelty to Animals.

Joseph Gouchee was complained of
for cruelty to Il horse last week WcdneS-
day. and fined 80 and amounting
to 1919. The alleged maltreatmcnt
WAS whipping and striking the Morse
over the head with the kut-end of Il
whipStock, on Eastern Avenue. and was
witnessed 10y Il number of persons. As
Gouchee plead guilty, no witnesses were
called. and as the testimony WAS that
the defendant was usually kind to his
beasts. the court imposed light fine,
and some good advice. 1t may not he
generally known that there is law
upon the statute book imposing severe
penalty for cruelty to dumb animals,
the fine ranging lis high as 5000, in the
discretion of the court. The law is Just
and necessary. The torturing of dumb
beasts is not only cruelty to those that
cannot reply, bat it is debasing and
bIutaliZing to the one who INDUCES in
it. Men who have no regard for their
animals, and who caIe not tor the pain
it briggs to those who must witness it.
should have the wholesome restraint of
the law. The amount of cruelty ex-
hihited to horses in this place III times
past, has shocked and panied many
persons. The law is explicit in this
matter, and any one who knows of such
cases should enter complaint, not foI
private ends, but for the public good.

FIFTEEN years ago Mr.. Leuis Ger
man lost a silver twenty five cent piece
upon one side Of which he had engraved
his name and place of business. The
piece was bright and new whe he engrav-
ed it, and worn as q charm to bis watch
chain. As the trinket was of small
value, it was, of course, forgotten soon
after its loss, after a year or two, Mr..
German never expected to see it again
i few days ago an Indiana farmer drove
into New Albany to purchase goods, and
in the money paid for them was the
identical piece Of coin bearing Mr. Ger
mans name. The gentleman Ga New
Albany merchanD who received the
money came over to Louisville yester-
day, and returned it to the owner.
The piece bore upon its surface the
appearance of having been in Lconst-
ant use. AS there has been 10 specie
circulation during the last fifteen years
the finder of the quarter adopted
it as an ornament for his guard or chain.

NO DOGS ALLOWED IN THE CARS.

1t happened the other day on the Le-
high Valley Railroad. The train had
just left Easton and the conductor Was
making his first round, when he OBJ
served a small white dog with a bushy
tail and bright black eyes sitting costly
on the seat beside a young lady SO hand
some that it made bis heart roll over
like lop-sided pumpkin. But duty
was duty, and he remarked il his most
depreciatory manner:
Il m very sorry, madam, but it's
against the rules to have dogs in the
passenger cars"
''Oh, my is that so?" and she turned
up two lovely brown eyes at him be-
seechingly. "What in the world will
DO? 1 can't throw hlm away. He is a
Christmas present from my aunt"
.''3y no means, Miss. Wen put him
in a baggage-car, and he'll be as happy
as a robin in spring."
"What! put my nice white dog in
nasty, stuffy, dusty baggage car2,,
''I'm awfully sorry, Miss, do assure
you, but the rules of this company are
as infexihle as the laws Of the Modes
and them other fellows, you know. He
shall have my overcoat to lie on, and the
brakeman shall give him grub and water
every time he opens his mouth.
''I just think it's awful mean, so 1 do,
and 1 know somebody will steal it, so
they will," and she showed a half-no-
ton to Cry that nearly broke the con-
ductor's heart; but he was firm and sang
out to the brakeman, who was playing
a solo on the stove:
''Here, Andy, take this dog over into
the baggage car and tell 'em to take just
the best kind of care of him.
The young lady pouted, but the brake
man reached oyer and picked the canine
up as tenderly as though it was two
weeks old baby, but as he did SO a
strange expression came over his face,
like wave of cramp collie, and he said
hastily to the conductor:
"Here, you just hold him minute
till L put this poker away" and he
trotted out az the car door and held on
to the brake wheel, shakeing like man
with ague.
The conductor no sooner had his
hands on the dog than he looked around
for hole to fail through.
'Who-wh-why, this is a worsted dog"
eyes, sir, said the little miss, de-
murely, Didn't you know thats''
'SNo, Tn most awful sorry to say I
didn't know that;" and he laid the
Christmas dog down in the owners lap
and walked out on the platform, where
he stood half an hour in the cold, trying
to think of hymn tune to suit the worst
sold man on the Lehigh Valley road

need not describe the scene that fol-
lowed. Suffice it to say that the trees
in front of Alice Beauchampe's home
bore the strangest fruit that ever hung
from living limb.
The vengeance--of the patriots was as
complete as terrible, and when the glo-

of the lovely district had ceased to
frighten people with their name.

had led to the determination of the aveng-
