on the Haymaker party was most
brutal and unprovoked. III was

that the Haymaker party were IN
armed and acted entirely on the de-
fensiye. Verdict was rendered against
Bowser for murder, and assault WIN

The Fox an.l u Hare.

A Fox who was ga ,oling about had
the ill-luck to fall over cliff, and as he
lay on the ground, unable to rise and
suffering great pain, along came Hare.
"Well,o said the Fox, as he looked up,
''the tables are turned. lam your bitter
enemy. and have often pursued you with
intent to murder, but now am helpless
and you can take your revenge"
'tDo you expect me to kill you?n
Naturally | do, and | ask the favor
that you kill me with club instead Of
slowly torturing me to death by singing:
Only Pansy Blossom +"
But the Hare determined to heap Goals
of fire on his head and prove her own
forgiving spirit. She therefore brought
him water and food and nursed him
until he was quite able to take care of
himself. The very next day after they
separated the Hare was crossing field
when she found herself pursued by a
Fox. After running long distance she
was oYertaken, and as she was knocked
over she recognized in her assailant the
very Fox whose life she had saved.
"Wly, you are the Fox whom
nursed!n she cried out,
''Is that so?''
''Of course it is! How could you fail
to recognize mer'

eackling chorus in the same lingo causes
me to turn, and | perceive the doorway

sort of glare, as if they'd like to loot my
whole letter bundle. Presently one of
them, after looking over my shoulder
and mastering the inscription on the
letter III my hand, gives a gratiied
shrek, then torrent of explanation in
German, and, with the triumphantly
correct pronunciation of 'Owzenshim-

nunciation of the name that had befogged

A Rival to the Toy Pistol.

1t begins to look as if a person is
hardly safe in sitting down to dinner
unless provided with life insurance
policy. So many people have died within
the past few weeks from the effects of
eating pancakes, canned vegetables, ham
and dried fruit, and the usually inoffen-
sive turkey bone has proved such a
deadly weapon in the hands of the un-
skillful, that life is made almost niser-
able by the thought that eating, though
extremely dangerous, is the one necessity
of existence. Even a pauper is not ex-
empt from the dangers that beset the
most selfish epicure, as. the sad circum-
stances attending a charity dinner in
Germantown few days ago clearly
demonstrates. In Washington County
the wiIy chicken bone caught an unsus-
pecting man by the throat and run him
through, and it is but reasonable to as
sumo that other chicken bones are living
in wait for victims In time the chicken
bone may become as deadly to the anna
teur as the toy pistol or the summer
resort sail~boat. - PhftqdeIpbiq Times,

Some Trouble with His First Paying Pa
tient.

About four o'clock the other day a
bare-headed young woman, with dishev-
eled red hair streaming in the winter
wind, fled like a hunted deer down
Fifty-seeond Street in the neighborhood
of Lexington Avenue. Her left hand
was pressed to her mouth and her right
grasped q piece of bright steel. She was
pursued by pale, breathless young man,
who in his hot haste had not stopped to
don either overcoat or hat. He was no
match in speed for the fugitive, and no
body understood his cry OF .'Stop her!
She has my forceps."
Nearing the railroad bridge the young
woman slipped and fell. She was up and
away in moment, but the shock knocked
a dentists forceps out of her hand. She
left it where it lay, and the man behind
darted upon it, picked it up and bore it
away in triumph.

SOME OTHER DAY.

Though all your dreams have been shattere
Your idols been overthrown,
Though all your hopes have been scattered
Like leaves by the tempest blown,
Grieve not as if broken-hearted
Ger pleasures that come no more,
For the sunshine with which you parted
some other day will restore.
Though the path that your foot now traces
Has wandered away, no doubt,
From the smooth and fiowery places
Where early you started out;
Though the vessel that bears your treasure
Makes grievousy long delay,
Let patience fill up her measure,
And wait-till some other day.
Some other day will be brighter
Than this that is full of gloom,
The clouds in the sky be lighter,
The roses in perfect bloom;
And the trials that now perplex you,
The thorps that Deset your way,
VIII have no power to vex you.
Perchauce, on some other day.
Though now you are passing under
The rod that is harsh, yet kind,
Some other day you will wonder
How you could have been so blind
As not to have seen the token
That Otto the eastward lay,
The sign of the promise spoken
Atthe darkest hour of the day.
For Grief and Joy have their season;
They flourish and then depart;
And for all these trials the reason
viii appear to each aching heart
Some day. So, pray you, remember
When grieving DER lost delight,
The year is not all December,
Some other. day will be bright.
