Hunting parties are all the rage now in
this State, and men have been known to
come from the State Of New York to go on
hunt in the Indian Territory. 1t is
hardly a square thing for men to go by
the score TO the country set apart for the
Indians, and slaughter game of all kinds
not. because they need the meat for
food, but because they want to kill
something. If the report were to be cir
culated throughout the country that the

would have the effect of keeping many q
hunter out Of the Territory.

DON'T Cross BRIDGE UNTIL You
CONE TO IT.-There was once man and
woman who planned to spend day at
friends house, which was some miles dis
tant from their own. So, one pleasant
morning, they started out to make the WIS.,
it; but they had not gone far before the
woman remembered q bridge they had to
cross which was very old and unsafe, and
she began to worry about it. ''What shall
we do about the bridge?" she said to her
husband. 81 shall never dare to 90 over
1t, and we can't cross the river any other
way" "Oh," said the man, 81 forgot
that bridge; it's bad place Suppose it
should break through. We should be
drowned" SCR suppose you should step
Oh rotten plank and break your leg, what
would become of me and the baby?'' 81
don't know said the man, what would
become of any of us, for couldn't work,
and we should starve to DEATH So they
went on worrying till they got to tue
bridge, when 10 and behold! since they
had been there last new bridge had been
built, and they crossed over in safety. and
found they might as well have saved them
selves all their anxiety

A ROMANCE OF LABOR.

[ was listening TO the rebellious words OF
a young man who could not see his father s
wisdom in desiring him to learn trade.
sit will make common man of me, ia
ther," he said querulously II shall be as
dirty as blacksmith, and have hands like
coal HEAVIER"
''And If you think, Fred, that wearing
fine clothes and having white hands make
you a gentleman. let me tell you, sir, that
you are very common man to begin with.
A good trade might help you to truer no
lions of gentlemanhood."
Then looked at the handsome young
fellow, for he was handsome, and thought
just then of Steve Gaskill. Steve has made
his mark now, bnt many years ago heard
just su ch talk between him and old Jo-
sah Gaskill, relative to the young man
learning his fathers trade of wood
stapler.
"It's dirty business. father,' said the
splendid Steve, in a full evening dress,
land 1 hate the smell of oil and the sight
of these men in blue blouses. l hope that
I shall have something to do better than
chat for myself"
VERY well, lad, what is it thou'd fain
be?"
IA lawyer, father
They're naught but lazy, quarrel
some set, but thou shalt never say that l
sto>d in the gate. Be a lawyer, lad. I'll
speak TO Denham Tomorrow about thee -
So young Steve was articled to Denham
& Downes to study law, especial conveyan-
cling. He was an only son, but had three
sisters, and over them and his mother, he
exercised supreme influence.
Whatever Steve did was right, whatever
he said was beyond dispute. Even old Jo-
siah, with all his sound sense, was in spite
of himself, swayed by the undisputed ac-
Acknowledgement of Steve's superiority
He would not advise his son to be law
yer. but seeing that Steve was not afraid to
be one. he was rather proud Of the lads
pluck and ambition.
It cost them good deal. Steve's tastes
were expensive, and he fell naturally
among a class of men who led him to many
extravigances. There we're occasionally
awkward scenes, but Steve, supported by
mother and sisters, always cleared every
scrape. and finally satisfied the family
pride by being regularly admitted upon the
roll Of Her Majesty's attorneys.
In the meanwhile his father had been
in failing health; soon after this he died.
Most of his savings had been secured for
the helpless women of the Gaskill family,
and Steve now found himself with pro-
fession and a thousand pounds to give MIN
a fair start in it. People said old Gaskill
had acted very wisely, and Steve had sense
enough to acquesce in public opinion. He
knew too, that as long as his mother or
sisters had a shilling they would share it
with him.
So he hopefully opened an office in his
native town of Leeds, and waited for
clients. But Yorkshire men are proverbi-
ally cautious; a young lawyer was not
their ideal. Steve could not look crafty
and wise under any circumstances, and
that first year he did not make enough to
pay his rent.
{ Nevertheless he did not in any way cur
tail his expenses; and when the summer
holidays arrived, he went as usual to a

Should Gniteau be Viviseeted?

1t seems cruel to talk of torturing hui
man being for the benefit of science and
mankind, but physicians now are forced
to experiment. upon harmless animals with
view to ascertaining the properties and
sensibilities of living muscle, nerve and
tissue. While these Investigations are
quite necessary, they are misleading, for a
man is unlike other animals. Tens of
thousands of operations upon the human
system are dangerous, and often fatal, be-
cause of the inability of the surgeon to
judge accurately, owing to the impossible

ally. The ancient Egyptians permitted
their priests, who were also their physi-
clans, tc experiment on criminals. And
why should not Guiteau, for instance, be
set apart for the benefit of the human
race? The wretch deserves no pity, for
he inflicted the most intolerabe and pro-
longed pain upon a kindly gentleman
who had never done him any HARM
He did it simply to be talked about
he had an itch for notoriety, and so he
plunged the nation into grief to crafty it,
would not some unusual and mysterious
punishment, like vivisection, do more to
stop president killing than any other dis
position of the criminal? Even madmen
are susceptible OF fear. While the desper-
ate ruffian does not care for death, he is
often appalled, at the prospect of some hor-
rible and mysterious punishment
If the murderer knew that his fate was
to be stretched upon dissecting table and
carv.d like hound Or frog, he would
probably conclude that it cid not pay to
kill. 1t is we'll to be tender hearted and
humane; but we live in world in which
all the operations of nature are cruel Mil
lions of innocent human beings are poison
ed by fevers, or in danger of life, and suf-
fer horrible pain because of the failure of
some bodily organ. Much of this suffer
ing would be alleviated if criminals like
Guiteau could be used for surgical expert
ments. Would he not be good one to
