ness. He stole that 'purp' and you can
bet on it. He II sell him to the first bid
der. Have YOU never heard of Chicago's
dog -pinchers?
The first speaker was well-known
business man and his query was an
swered by an ex-city detective, in whose
company he was. The two were stand
ing at the corner of Clark and Madison
streets, few days ago, and the CONVEX
sation was called forth by the appear
ance of rather slouchy-looking indi-
vidual who shambied along the side
walk closely followed by very hand
some specimen of cocker spaniel, who
looked as though he might be the pride
of some sportsman's heart. A Tribune
reporter, who was the third member of
the group. became interested upon hear
ing the answer of the ex-detective, and
with the business man expressed his ig-
norance of the term ''dog-pincher.
.'Well, a dog pincher,' said their
companion, lis a man who makes a
business of stealing pet dogs, either as
a speculation OF his own or to order.
He tramps around the residence portion
of the city from morning until night,
and if he sees valuable dog he induces
it to follow him away, and then he sells
it. Very often some man about town
sees fine dog he would like to own,
and he induces some 'pincher' that he
knows to LAY for it and steal it for
him.. He usually has to pay pretty
good price for it, too
''Do these 'pinchers' hold the dogs
they steal for any rewards that may be
offered?n
f. mot very often. Very few people
will pay large rewards for the return of
a dog, and the ordinary 'pincher' does
not like to return dog for a reward
and run the risk of being spotted He
will have nothing to do with any com
mon dog, and those he does take he can
sell readily for good price,
Are there many dog -pinchers' in
Chicago?" asked the reporter.
''Not very many expert professionals.
There are number of amateurs, but
they are not up in the business. -
How do they entice dogs away from
their homes2"
That is a secret known only to pro.
fessional dog -pinchers.' They rub some
stuff on their hands or pants, and when
dog gets smell of it no one can call
him away. What this stuff is | don't
know, but 1 think it's oil of anise. You
know all animals are fond of that. If
you don't know it, just put little bit
of it on some bread in a rat-trap and
you'll have the trap full of rats CHI.

$4,000 Gone!

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.-The Chronicle
publishes in substance the following mar
vel. Captain w. F. Swasey, ths Oldest
pioneer of the coast, makes a statement of
the intense suffering of his friend Col. d.
j. Williamson, an Army officer of distinc-
ton and an Ex-U. S. Consul who was at
tackled in the winter of 1862 with violent
rheumatism. So great was his agony in
after years, he became helpless cripple,
and after trying numberless remedies, the
baths of other countries and spending a
fortune of $4,000, the disease seemed to as
sumo a more virulent type. Finally, he
was persuaded to try st. Jacobs Oil, the
great conqueror Of pain. 1t worked mir
acle of cure. In letter to the Chronicle
he confirms Capt. Swasey's statement and
adds: 81 cheerfully give my unqualified
attestation to the truthfulness of the state
ment, because feel perfectly certain that
knowledge OF my cure by st. Jacobs Oil
will prove the means of relieving hundreds

About New York Mud.

"Can YOU tell me ANYTHING about
New York mud?" tall, angular coun-
tryman asked of reporter of the Sun.
about it, except that it is an unpleasant
and frequent accompaniment OF life IN
the city, and that too much of it has
been dumped into the lower bay. So he
looked wise and replied: "Why?"
because it is not Ike any other
mud" the stranger replied. ''1t is not
like St. Louis mud, or Philadelphia or
Baltimore mud, or any other mud that
| ever ran across. Chicago mud, for
instance, is much lighter in color, and
is out and out mud. Brooklyn mud
is little darker than Chicago mud, to
be sure, like Baltimore mud; but you
perceive nothing about them, or about
the mud of any American city except
New York, that is not common to all
wet dirt. But New York mud is thing
by itself. You can't mistake it for wet
dirt. 1t is black and very greasy, sticky
and slippery. 1t is very much like axle
grease. 1t ruins whatever it touches
except leather or metal. Strangers no
tice it right away. They have all they
can do to keep footing on it. They go
about among their friends and the busi-
ness men swearing at it as the worst
eature of the city, and the business
men and friends reply: We'll, If you
countrymen did not abuse it so con-
stantIy we would not know there was
such thing Can it BE- possible that
New Workers plow around in it year in
and year out. and never notice anything
peculiar about it?''
The reporter wore an expression OF
wisdom and reflection, and wondered at
the stranger, who continued:
..But am interested in it. | noticed
(where it had dried on the sidewalKs)
that it is, when not wet, a light brown
powder, with no trace aboutit of grease,
or apparently of clay either. 1t has no
smell when it is dry. The other night
saw the street-cleaners 60 up Broad
way. leaving the pavemcnts clean
enough to eat off of. They took cart
load or two Of this gray powder from
every block Next morning when | got
up it was raining a little, and Broad
way was hidden under this curious
axle grease, as | call it. Horses, men,
women, children and vehicles were
sliding and slipping about on it. Now,
where did it come from? | will confess
the subject has got the better of me. 1
put some in paper and took it to my
hotel, and m going to analyze it with
microscope when get home. | no
ticed that it not only looks greasy, but
it smells and feels greasy. | noticed
also that it is sticky and gluey to the
touch, but slippery to the tread / un-
derstand the London mud is the same.
You know the old saying that London
mud yields butter fancy it must be
made up Of particles of everything in
the world, and can only form in very
great cities. Or perhaps it is peculiar
to very old cities as well as large ones.
Perhaps it bows about, to and fro, while
dry, and becomes mud when wet. What
do y u think?"
This is the first time | ever heard
ANYTHING atout it," the reporter replied

The Irrepressible Boy.

It. is easy to point out that parents
arctic blame when boys are wrong In
measure. perhaps, they are But there
is that about some boys, children of
splendid and careful parents, which
seems to make them wholly intractable.
There is a period when a boy of fine
traits will break loose. and all the care
of all his family only serves to make
him worse. lhen there is period,
further on, when he is the most intoler-
able little devil it is possible to conceive
He knows it all. Father and mother
are slow and ignorant. and the young
man finds it impossible to conceal his
contempt for their lack of ''go." This
is the period of breeziness, when
father feels sorely tempted to club the
young rascal into his proper place. 1t
requires wonderful tinesse sometimes to
carry boy safely through these critical
periods-an immense amount of for
bearance, an affection of sympathy, and
even an appearance of belief, some
times, in the boys assumption Of great
ness. The remarkable thing is that so
few boys are wrecked during these
per DDS of savage lawlessness and bud
ding manhood. = MitsOauaee Sentinel.
