Kllpatrlck,s Prohibition Experlence.

From the Buffalo Express.
In 1880 General Fitzpatrick was one Of the
Republican s,umpers In Maine. Senator
Blaine was Chairman Of the State committee.
One day several stumpers met at Mr.. Blsine's
house 10 Aurusta to get new orders and take
fre'h start. Blaine said TO fitzpatrick: 81
want you 10 60 to DanforIh. You know We
have prohibitory law in Maine, and you
have probably found out that 1t isn't always
observed. But everybody admits that in Dan
forth it is strictly lived up to. Opinion is all
one way there, and want you to say some
thing about temperance in your speech"
"All right" said the General, and oil he
started. Arriving at Danforth. Committee
man met him, and the first thing he said was
General, this is n strict prohibition town,
and we would like TO have you say something
about temperance in your speech, but as YOU
are an old army man, and may feel the need
OF little stimulus, have brought along
this" and produced bottle. Arrived at the
hotel, the landlord took the General to one
side, and said "You know we're very strict
here on temperance, but you being stranger

and glass. A colored man showed the Gem
eral to his room, and in It's privacy said ''Ye
know, boss, we can't have anything TO drink
here, bu, il We want anything can get 1t for
We, boss" Fitzpatrick had several more sim
liar adventures before he got out Of Danforth,
and declared that in the s,ricest Of all pro-
hibition towns he got more invitations to
drink than in any other town he visited dur
ing the campaign. We feel quite sure Kill
patrick went to his grave believing that pro-
hibition does not prohibit

The Eagle and the Game Fowls.

From the San Francisco Call.
An American eagle, trapped on ore of the
islands opposite Santa Barbara. was sold to
game-fowl fancier, who put in his chicken
park. Suddenly one of the fowls flew at the
eagle and struck it upon the wings. The eagle
merely looked at the little chanticleer with
curious, inquisitive glance. Then another
game fowl struck him in the breast, while the
first hit him on the neck. The eagle now
opened his wings with leisurely swing and
erected his chest feathers. and his eyes seemed
to blaze. Again one Of the fowls rushed reck-
lessly at the eagle, grasping a bunch Of
feathers in its attack. Before it recovered
from its charge the eagle extended one Of its
talons, and seized the cock by the neck, and,
with dexterous swing, laid it auttering and
quivering beneath its left foot. The second
cock now charged upon the huge stranger,
whose wings were half opened and lazily
rising and falling. As the cock struck it was
met with blow from the eagles wing, and as
it fell was caught in his talons and laid dying
upon the ground. The victor did not appear
to be excited, and after thus disposipg OF its
troublesome adversaries lazily stepped to one
side and seemed to relapse into reflection,
every once in a while looking down indifer-
emily upon the dead fowls lying at his feet.

plain that Minnesota cats cannot be depended
upon in the hour Of peril.

WHY Texans Are Proud,

From the Fort Worth Gazette.
The power Of our Texas population to sur
vive shock is what makes us proud. The
hanging of three men without the Sheria's
warrant, and the shooting of three or four
more at McDade, would have torn most COM
munities up by the roots, but the people OF
that place appear to have got over il in day
or two, and are moving serenely about their
business. There's nothing like being used to
a thing.

MAN

|
Man that is born of woman is small
potatoes and few in the hill.
He riseth up to day and fourisheth
like rag.weed, and tomorrow or the
day after the undertaken has him in the
ice. box.
He goeth forth in the morning war
bling like the lark, and is knocked out
IN one round and two seconds.
In the midst of life he is in debt, and
the tax collector rursueth him wherev-
er he gceth.
The banister of life is full of splin-
ers, and he slideth down it with consid-
cradle rapidity.
He walketh forth in the bright sun
light to absorb ozone, and meeteth the
bank teller with sight draft for $3o7.
He cometh home at eventide and
meeteth the wheelbarrow in his path,
and the wheelbarrow riseth up and
smiteth him to the earth, and falleth
upon him and runneth one of its legs
into his ear.
In the gentle springtime he putteth
on his summer clothes, and a blizzard
striktth him far away from home, and
flleth him with woe and rheumatism
He layeth up riches in the bank, and
the president speculateth in margins,
and then goeth to Canada for his
health.
In the autumn he putteth on his
winter trousers, and wasp that abid-
eth in them fndeth him full of intense
excitement.
lie starteth down the cellar with an
oleander, and goeth first hastily, and
the oleander cometh after him and sit
teth upon him.
He sitteth up all night to get the re-
turns from Ohio, and in the end learn
eth that the other fellows have carried
1T.
He buyeth Watchdog, and when
he cometh home late from the lodge
the Watchdog treeth him and sitteth
beneath him until rosy morn.
lie goeth to the horse trot and bet
teth his money on the brown mare, and
the bay gclding with a blaze face win
meth.
He marrieth ed.haired heiress
with a wart on her nose, and the next
day her parental ancestor goeth under,
with few assets and great liabilities, and
cometh home to live with his beloved
son-ln-law.
