outside there t'other day, and Pete was
working here in the shop. I had pint
bottle of corrosive sublimate dissolved in
alcohol, which I put on the chair to kill

in here Pete began shifting. Pretty soon

door rubbing his hands up and down on

STAY THERE.-An eccentric farmer
living in Ohio had a flock of sheep that
had not been shorn for six years. The
wool has grown over their eyes and
is SO long that it drags on the ground.
On being asked why he did not shear
his sheep, Mr.. Sellers replied, "God
put the wool on their backs to stay there
and keep them warm, and I do not pro-
pose to interfere" The flock is.a great
curiosity, and people come from miles
around to see them. Mr.. Sellers never
shaves, cuts his hair or finger nails.

JOe's Treat.
HOW SANTA CLAUS APPEARED TO MASTER
JOE AND MISS Sis ON CHRISTMAS
EVE.


It was Christmas Eve and crowds of
busy buyers and pleasure-seekers
thronged Avenue A. Among them
might might have been seen a boy of
perhaps ten years and girl some three
years his junior, who were evidently
bent upon a very important errand, if
ole could judge by the number of times
they paused and consulted, the look of
earnestness deepening in their faces.
Good faces they were, too, ifa littlesoiled.
The boys frank and honest, with a merry
twinkle in each dark eye, whilst the
girls blue ones wore an innocent, visit
full expression. She would have been
quite pretty if it had not been for the
sickly color of her skin (want of proper
nourishment, and the matted locks.
which only needed soap and water to
render them soft and golden. A straw
bonnet, portion of the brim missing,
on account of its being several sizes too
large, gave the child constant employ
ment trying to keep it on. It's counter
part in the shape of hat covered the
curly head of her companion, whose
pants could have easily held another
boy.
Presently they paused before large
store with its window filed with cakes.
Square cakes, round cakes, frosted
cakes, cakes with snow-white towers and
cunning sugar cupids, cakes large and
small, yellow with eggs or black with
fruit AS the children stood gazing at
the rich display an old gentleman passed,
turned and retraced his steps, and also
took his stand before the cake window.
Ever and anon his kindly face was lit up
by a smile as some remark of the chill
dren's reached his ears.
At last the important question seemed
decided, for the boy, with a nod and the
words, "You jess wait here, Sis" made
his way into the store. It was crowded,
so he had to wait his turn, while the girl
pressed her eager little face tightly
against the window pane, tiptoeing on
There was quite a pretty flush on the
child's delicate cheeks when the boy re-
with a small parcel in his hand,
and she exclaimed eagerly:
ibid you get t?"
"You" bet was the answer, followed by
a long -drawn-out "Oh !" from the little
girl as they made their way along the
avenue, the old gentleman close behind
them. After while they turned into a
side street and bent their steps toward a
vacant lot, half shut in by brick wall
and Uttered over with old packing eases,
bits Of tarpaulin and refuse.
''Is it nice place where you live?"
questioned the girl, as her companion
piloted her over barrel hoops and old {
,rockery. A saucy look twinkled in the
boys eyes as he answered
"Well, Sis, it amt exactly what you'd

A year had come and gone since the
night of Joe's treat and the very same
store where Joe purchased his Christ
mas Eve cake was again full of choice
dainties in that line, and the same old
gentleman was there: but this time, in
stead of gazing in at the window, he
was making his way inside, holding by
the hand pretty little girl, with sweet
blue eyes and silky fair hair, hugging
lovely doll possessing a muff and a fur
tippet, while accompanying them was a
bright, intelligent-looking boy. Both
children were neatly, even handsomely
clad All at once the little girl ex-
claimed excitedly:
"Oh Uncle, there's the very same
cake man as last year. See, Joe, there
he is wonder if he will know you?"
''Of course he won't, Sis, I've changed
my tailor since then," and the boys
laughing eyes twinkled with fun, while
the old gentleman chuckled until he was
red in the face, and the two children had
to pat him on the back to keep him
from choking.

the little girls order, and she had her
way. Years after, when she grew up
and had a nice home of her own. she

delight, cried out:

blew out the light and deposited the
the candle in his pocket, while Sis, ty-
ing her bonnet strings, followed him
forth into the night, casting a half
look around for the kind Santa
Claus who had not forgotten them.
Thus, together they pass out from the
vacant lot, full of bright anticipations of

Greater or Less Degree
of AtrOcity.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. q. The most shock
ing horror that has ever occurred in this city
was perpetrated by an old villain named
Johnson, at late hour in the night, at the
residence of George Meng, on Third street
1t appears that Meng had purchased a cow
of johnson, and that animal was delivered dur
ing Meng's absence from home. Mrs
Meng, knowing the transaction to be all
right proffered johnson large bank note IN
payment, but he said he could not make the
required change Mrs. Meng then started to
get the bill CHANGED, leaving her 9-year-oid
daughter at home with johnson, surprising
Of course that she would be entirely safe
with him. As houses were few and
far between Mrs. Meng had trouble
in securing change, and was absent
nearly an hour. On returning home she
found the lights turned out, and, fearing
wrong, called the little girl, but got no re-
Spouse. On striking a light and searching
the premises she discovered the little girl
lying in secluded place on the floor, uncon-
scious and covered with blood. On first
glance she supposed johnson had murdered
her and fed, but on examination it was found
that he had done ten fold worse, by mntilat-
ing the child's person, outraging her most
brutally, then after choking her almost to
death, ransacked the drawers where Meng
kept his money and fed to parts unknown,
and up to this writing has not been arrested.
News of the horror is the theme of everbody's
conversation johnson is resident of W ash-
ington county, Ind, between so and 60 years
old, wearing a clerical white beard and has
the outward appearance of a gentleman.

/. New Time Unconstitutional.


Boston, Nov. 2L-Mayor Cummings, of
Bangor, Me-, is bidding for the succession to
Dogbefry in history. He last week vetoed a
resolution of the board of aldermen chang
ing the standard of city time, on the grounds,
first, that it would cause great Inconvenience
to everyone, and, second, that it was uncon-
stitutional. On Saturday, learning that the
churches were preparing to adopt the new
time, he threatened to cali out the
police and put stop to the
action, but the parish commit
tees told him that they would meet such ac-
ton with suits for trespass, and then he re-
linquished his design. When Sunday came
two churches changed their clocks and the
others decided to wait until the next day.
The only other public clock in the city is
owned by it, and in that steeple the mayors
authority was supreme. The aldermen, by
party vote, sustained the veto. The people of
Bangor have generally adopted the new
time, which is more than half an hour slower
than local time, but great confusion as well as
amusement results from the MAYORS action,
and the thing win probably become local
political issue
