A Novel Strike.

In the great labor movement all over
the country there is q strike in progress
which has not received as much consid.
Grafton as perhaps it deserves from the
press and the public. 1t is that OF the
dog catchers in this city. Unlike most
strikes, which bring no comfort to any
one, the dog catchers' demand OF hall
dollar instead of thirty cents dog,
which cruel Corporation with no fear
OF hvdrophobia before its eyes steadily
declines to allow, is great consolation
to the dogs. Mr.. B"rgh also is happy,
and when he is unmoved the community
generally enjoys some degree of peace
and tranquility. 1t is to be hoped the
authorities will persist in their refusal
to submit to the outrageous demands OF
the dog men Let the CANNES 60 free
II, however, the law can be so twisted
as to allow The strikers to lasso, imnound
and drown the cur politicians who are
running loose, give them. by oil means,
full permission and dollar for every
one they capture. 7. Herald.

A Wise Conclusion.

A valiant Young man went down frou
YOnkers TO York to enlist in the militia
Adorned with youth, beauty, and new
silk hat, he presented himself to the re
cruiting- g-officer, and stated his errsnd.-
The battle-scsrred veteran looked sol
emnly at him, and said. "Suppose, sir
that you we're in command of a compa
ny; that in your rear was an impassa
BILE abyss; that on either side OF yo,
arose q perpendicular precipice hun
dred feet in height; that in front Of yol
stood the enemv, ten times your numhe
young man, what would you do ?"-
General" said the embryonic hero
without moments hesitation, "Gener
al, should resien!"

How He Struck a Bonanza.

We had been roughing it around for q
couple OF months when We found our
selves one evening camped outside OF
Monterey. Our finances we're very low.
There was only few dollars in th'
whole crowd, and we felt rather blue.
We had been for several dsvs discussing
what was best 10 be done We knew lit
tie of the language Of the country there
was no work that suited us, or that we
were capable Of doing, and the stages in
that part Of the country wouldn't pay
the wear and tear of rcbbIng them.
We we're sitting around the campfire
in a very despondent frame OF mind
when Mclnnis came in from town. 'Hel-
10. boys," he shouted. "I've found it
struck bonanza. We are well fixed
cheer up; we are all right now, and don'l
you forget it."
"Wbat Is it2' we asked.
"You never mind" he replied '.just
you follow me and I'll show you
We filed after him into town. He led
US through the main street, across the
plaza, and down into the poorest part oI
the town. Stopping in front OF q small
adobe store. he marched US all in. Nc.
Innis stood looking from one to The
other as il waiting for applause.
We could see no sign Of the bonanza
and in chorus we impatiently demanded
that he should explain.
"How much monev have we in the
crowd {" inquired McTnnis.
"Seven dollars and fly cents, all told,
replied our treasurer.
"Well, didn't say we were all rich ?
"Yes: Tut we can't zee how We can b.
rich on seven dollars and City cents
"You can't. eh ?" said McInnis. 'Can'
you read ?" and he pointed proudly to
card hanging on the wall above th,
counter, on which was printed the le
gend:
"Four drinks for quarter. ."-Sd'

The Man Who Boxed.

There are scores Of respectable and
reputable heads Of families in this city
who take regular lessons in the manly
art OF self.defense, and who spend an
hour every evening In swinging clubs
and otherwise developing and harden
ing the muscle. One of the most en-
thusiastic of the lot had finished his
boxing lesson the other night, when the
trainer said:
II am sorry to lose your money and
your company, but l feel it my duty to
say that can learn you nothing further.
You have got the science and muscle to
clean out crowd, and Heaven help the
man who stands before you'll"
The citizen went home with con-
sciousness that only towards carry re-
volvers, and he wondered how q man
would look after he had given him O
snck dologer straight from the shoulder.
The next morning as he was leaving his
house along came a berry man who was
yelling his wares at the top of his voice.
"Do you sell any more berries for yel-
ling in that manner 2" asked the citizen,
rs the peddler drew rein.
"Oh, take In your nosef' was the re-
ply.
"Sone one will take your whole body
In some day.
But it won't be man with wart on

"No impudence, sir!"
uAnd none from Won. either I"
"You deserve q good thrashing"
"And perhaps you can give it to me"
There was the golden opportunitv.-
The one had science-the other impu-
dence The one had received thirty.
eight lessons in boxing-the other fairly
ached TO be pounled.

"THAT LITTLE HAT"


I 6nd it in the garden path,
It's little crown half full
Of wilted flowers; where Is the rogue
Who dared my roses pull?
1 hud it ON the roadside there,
The flowers tossed away,
And in the crown, packed carefully.
A load of stones and clay.
1 find it in the daisied field.
Or hidden in the clover,
Inspected by the wandering bees,
And crawled by inse cts over.
l find it on the old barn floor,
Or in q manger resting,
Or swinging from the beam above,
Where oooing doves are nesting.
I find it meath my b1sy feet,
Upon the kitchen floor.
Or lying midway up the stairs,
Or by my chamber door.
I find it in, I find it out,
Meath table, lounge or chair;
The little, shabby. brimless thing,
I find it everywhere,
But on the curly, golden pate
For which alone twas meant,
That little, restless, curly head.
On mischief always bent.
Oh, baby boy. this problem solve,
And tell me, darling, whether
Your roguish pate and this old hat
Were ever seen together.
