Not many years ago a wicked Dissen-
ton escaped from a great prison, known
as Franklin Square, and went West to
live by its wits. After many trials it at
last was employed by a man named TIE
publican Ricket, who lived in the great
State of Laramie. But the friends OF
Republican Ricket looked with suspicion
upon Dissention and often advised him to
end it away. But he would not heed
their advice and 50 Dissention abided with
him until it learned all of his secrets.
One day the Dissention stole all of the
treasure hat Republican Ricket had
saved and taking his wife fed to a land
inhabited by a rae of people called Inde
peudents. Republican Ricket incurred
his loss and his folly, and soon after died
brokenhearted, was buried and. speedily
forgotten.
Moral. Herein we see the folly of be
ing obstinate and closing our eyes to dan
gers that others plainly zee.

Wyoming has about twenty-five deaf
mutes who should be educated. There
were recently FIVE mutes in Cheyenne,
but two went to Idaho, leaving three here
now, Three years ago Mrs. Orr moved
from here to Colorado, to give her deaf
mute child educational privileges in the
deaf mute school at Colorado Springs A
private teacher is teaching Hon. H. w.
Rothert's little deaf mute son here. Miss
Edith Richie, a little deaf mute girl
lives here, and is not being educated.
In the course of time the names, resi-
dences, and ages of other mutes will be
ascertained. A report will be made to
the Governor, and to the next Legisla-
turc, so that efforts may be made to open
a school for them in Wyoming, so that
the Territory will take care of and edu-
cate her own unfortunate children of this
class. DECoURsEY FRENCH.

4 Name that lived on n Republican
ticket once went u to the woods to pick
some votes for supper. 1t looked at all
of the trees where votes used to grow. but
the votes hung so high up in the air that
it thought it would go further into the
forest, where it expected it could pick all
it wanted without climbing the trees. 1t
went a long way, but the votes were
thinner and harder to reach and finally
ceased altogether. Then the Name was
sorry it had gone so far from home,
and il fastened to return
to the place where it first saw the votes.
But when it reached the spot it found
that a lot of other Names had been there
while it was wandering in the woods and
had picked all Of the votes. SO the poor
foolish Name, greatly fatigued from its
long walk, went supperless to bed.
MORAL: This should teach us that it
is wise to be satisfied with our share, and
that the man who wants it all is often
obliged to do without any

HISTORY PARTIALLY REPEATED
Mongolians Fight over A Dog, Which
Causes A Novel Decision.

1t vas a dull day with his honor
Judge Lee. No drunk nor tramp APP
peared to plead guilty and board out their
fine at the eity's expense. Suddenly
there was a heavy tramp ON the stairway
and a shouting which resembled the
smashing of glassware, and a policeman
ushered in two saucer-eyed pigtails and a
dog. He placed the trio in a row and his
honor heard the case.
Il found them quarrelling about this
dog, stated the policeman. This chap
here, Too Sang, says he OWNS the cur
and the other chap, Wah Kong, says he
lies. They were having a matinee and
| pulled them and brought all three
along and here they are.
The Celestials didn't wait for an invita-
ton To speak but both began at once.
Too Sang claimed he owned the dog,
and Wah Kong stated that he had fed
him at his own expense for the last
month. A. length they became animated
until Their. va as much confusion as ex-
lists at a Missionary Sewing Circle.
Silence, commanded his honor.
Silence and let me think.
The celestials subsidized and his honor
began to cogitate. They were no prece-
dents for Il case like this on the books and
he must look elsewhere for aid. Luckily
he was somewhat of a Biblical student and
remembered that Solomon decided a case
similar to this in a very satisfactory man
ner- His eountenance frightened and he
said with great dignity: 81 think that
each of you have a half interest in the dog
and under the circumstances | will have
Pat Nolan kill the cur and then divide it,
and give each of you half. Too Sang how
are you satisfied? ?"
Too Sang's teeth were as numerous as
delegates to a county convention. He
eagerly cried:
'Catchee me all l~itelee. Lette Wah
Kong take the tailee and me keepee the
head and have the Ibis
Get out of this" yells his honor.
WA Kong, take that whelp and get. "
Wah Kong hastily gathered up the cur
and started for the door. Just as he got
outside he exclaimed: Too Sang
heappee dam fool. Too muchee dam fly.
Wah Kong have whole dog now. Eat
him Ibis and all.
His honor was disguised. He rapidly
crawled into his overcoat and went forth
to seek a sniff of fresh air.

POLICE PARAGRAPHS.
Scenes and Incidents in the Municipal
Justice Shops.

Thomas Brown was done so very brown
Friday night that a nut brown taste still
fingered in his mouth when he appeared
before Justice Fisher Yesterday morning
The Court absently said something about
so, and before you could say Jack Rob-
inson, Brown had put a crisp bill on the
desk and was turning a corner two blocks
away.
Five amateur politicians, whose en-
thusiasm was greater than their judg-
ment, appeared before Justice Lee yes
terday morning. The f. u. p's. were ex-
cruciatingly p%enitent and the Judge
thought the p~rovocation so great that a
verdict Of UNSUITABLE indiscretion was war
ranted. The culprits stammered their
thanks, winked in a surreptitious but sig
niicant way, and a momen later a noise
IN the stairs sounded like a Hoodlum pro-
cession with banners.
One drunk of the popullr edition was
before Justice Lee yesterday and after a
close consultation with the Court sue
eeeded in making arrangements to pass
the Sabbath at the Schnitger Hotel.
Riley was his name, and a worthless
chap was he. Little cared he for fame so
that idle he could be. But an officer took
him in, and he told the Court he had no
tin His Honor said in accents
sharp, Don't let me find you here at
dark. Riley took the hint so blunt, and
said, You betcher life you WON'T Then
away he sped far over the hill, and the
hope remains that he's going still.

United states Attorney Riner has tn
Examination Postponed.

It will be remembered that Isaac Bet
telyoun, defendant in the Houck-B Bethel
youn land case, was arrested Friday even
ing upon a warrant issued by Fred j.
Stanton, United States Commissioner,
and that the examination under the
charge of perjury, was set for 10 o'clock
yesterday morning.
But the examination was not held.
1t occurred to Mr.. j. A. Riner, United
States Attorney, that he had some duties
to discharge in a case like the one which
Mr.. Stanton set for yesterday, 1t also
flashed athwart Mr.. Riner's mind that he
should have been consulted in the matter.
Indeed, Mr.. Riner quite naturally rea-
soned that he was being ignored and he
therefore threw himself into the. arena
with a dull thud. Mr.. Stanton heard
something drop, and like a wise mar was
willing, indeed was positively anxious,
that all proceedings in the case should be
conducted in a spirit of brotherly love and
a benign consideration of the wishes of all
parties interested.
The case was accordingly postponed
until November 10, when, if no other
postponement is taken, the preliminary
examination of Mr., Bettelyoun will be
had. 1t is hardly necessary to add that
MIR. Bettelyoun will not be deprived of his

LATTER DAY
The Heavy Republican Editorial and
the MugNvumn.

A Heavy Republican Editorial from
Wyoming once went hunting. 1t walked
a long long way and was getting very
tired when it suddenly espied a little
Mugwump sitting on a fence. ''Ahal"
exclaimed the Heavy Republican Edito-
rial, I'm eat YOU at dinner Tomorrow. -
Then it took a long aim at the little Mug
wump and fired. In its excited cxulta-
lion the Heavy Republican Editorial dis
charged both barrels Of its gun, heavily
loaded for large game, and the big shot
failed to touch the little Mugwump. But
the recoil of the gun knocked down the
Heavy Republican Editorial, hurt its law
and bruised its shoulder, The little Mug
wump looked at its fallen enemy, wiggled
its tail and flew merrily away.
Moral: This teaches lis not to hunt
sparrows with cannon, and that sense
does not depend upon size.

I'M Defense of the Army.

SAVANNAH, GA, Aug .25.-EditOr Morn
ina Nelcs: 1 was surprised to see in to-
days MORNING NEWS an unjust allusion
to the army. The article is entirely at
variance with the usual record of your
paper. refer to the remarks concerning
the action of the court martial in the case
of Cadet John A. Logan, Jr. The in
Justice will be evident to large number
of readers of your paper.
l have served in 16 different States and
Territories with officers of all arms Of the
service, and have never met among them
a single political partisan.
Officers, like all intelligent men, have
political views. They may call themselves
Democrats or Republicans-the majority
would probably be classed as Democrats
but the interest taken in politics is very
slight.
Whatever political party may be in
power an officers duty is still to obey.
He, however, has the right, as a citizen,
to actively interest himself in political
affairs, and can do so without detriment
to his military duties.
He who accepted the nomination of the
Democratic party in 1880 is none the less
a faithful soldier.
The members of a court martial are I'M
der oath to swell and truly try" and to
'sduly administer justice"
In time of peace there is no more just
tribunal in our country than military
court martial.
The court martial orders in the case Of
Cadet Logan have not vet been promul-
GATED. You can doubtless secure a full
copy of the proceedings.

SIX MONTHS on THE CHAIN-GANG
The Paper Thief Gets a Residence in

HE PAPER lnACA NUtF a
CuyIer swamp.
Thomas Thomas. the negro neWsboy
who was arrested on Saturday for steal
ing a copy Of the MORNING NEWS from
under the door Of Bradstreet * Co.'s Mer-
camille Agency, where it had been left by
the carrier, was brought before the City
Court Yesterday for trial. An account of
the theft appeared in the MORNING NEWS
on Sunday. After a statement Of the case
the negro pleaded guilty 20 the theft and
was sentenced to six months on the chain
gang.
The summary punishment in this case
will be a warning of the consequences that
will follow any similar case. Several
months ago Mr.. III. l.. Schreiner was an
moved bv the repeated loss of his paper,
and. upon watching for the thief, finally
captured him. The same degree OF pun
fshment was then inflicted asSn Thomas
case. The thieving is carried on
all over the city, but the annoy
ance is particularly aggrayatlng on
the business streets, where merchants
and business men depend upon
their papers on reaching their offices.
In this part Of the city, however, the
thief has the best opportunity to get IN
his work. as very few people are about
when the papers are delivered. IL is
equally annoying, too, in the central por-
tf0n of the city, where the papers are
sDatched from piaZZas and door steps
almost as soon as they are delivered.
The only way to break it up IS to cause
the arrest Of every person detected in the
THEFT. when there is little doubt that the
proper punishment will be inflicted.
