Particular About the Bark,

Mr.. Calvert Mellen came over from
Jersey on Friday night and fell among
Philistiues. At least so he said as he
hung over the bar of the Yorkville po-
lice court yesterday morning very
much like a rug that is hung out of a
window to air. He was q perfectly
harmless young man with a Vandyke
beard that was very tender and very
curly. The suit of clothes he wore
had lost their painful ready-made new
ness during the preceding twenty-four
hours.
He further told Justice German that
he had never drank other spirituous
beverage than the plain juice of the
forbidden fruit that Is SO prevalent in
his home. He dignified it by the title
of "apple brandy" When he came
to New York, though, numerous
friendly bartenders had induced him
to drink various connections that were
more mixed than harsh. Very shortly
he became just as badly mixed him
self, and did not really know what had
occurred until he found himself in the
cell yesterday morning.
Officer Thompson did know, how
ever, and told the court. Mr.. Mellen
had been making it interesting for
Third avenue.
He went into every store On the
block" said the officer. land said he
wanted some dogs. Didn't care what
they looked like, but was very particu-
lar how they barked. Said he would
show how he wanted them to 90.
Then he would get down on all tours
and prance around a 'ki-yi-ing' for all
he was worth. That was the kind OF
dogs he wanted, he said. Didn't want
any bow-wow dogs. Then he insisted
on the clerks doing it, so there would
be no mistake. He got very mad II
they told him they didn't keep dogs,
and wouldn't leave till they promised
to get a dozen. Well, he made it rath-
er lively for the ladies in the stores,
and after he had worked about ten
shops they had to call me. When |
got him to the station-house he braced
the sergeant for a trade in terriers.
He thought the cell was a dog-kennel,
and it tickled him half to death. He
was hopping round his cell and hav-
ing lots of Jun all night"
'.Is this all so, Calvert?" asked the
judge, with an amused light in his eye
glasses.
.Oh, guess so, sir" He then
bought his liberty instead of dogs.

Squirrel NayigatOrS.

Dear Jack" writes jeanette c. W.,
"may tell your children what squir-
rel did?
''Sne invented boat to carry her
babies in. At all events, gentleman
writing to paper called the Toledo
B!ade says he saw her do it, and | be-
lieve him, for even animal mothers
will do wonderful things when their
babies are in question.
They were on their way 10 a new
part of the country in Ohio, and in the
course of their travels they came to a
creek. Mother squirrel tried to in
duce the babies to swim across the
stream, but-blcss their little hearts,
they were afraid, and could not pick
Cp courage even with mother to help
them.
Tine squirrel mother was very
much distressed at this, and for few
moments seemed at a loss what to do.
There was the creek, and it must be
crossed. Pretty soon bright idea
struck her, and she ran briskly up and
down the bank Of the stream until she
found piece of wood about a foot
long and half a foot wide.
''She dragged that to the edge of the
stream and pushed it into the water
until only one end of the piece of wood
rested lightly on the bank.
Then she coaxed the babies to walk
out on the little boat. They stepped
on board very timidly and snuggled
closely together. The little mother
then pushed the boat into the stream,
and taking hold of it with her teeth,
swan behind it until it touched the
opposite bank, when the babies scam
pered nimbly ashore, delighted to know
that their mother was placidly follow
ing them"
This story is all very we'll and very
true, but | have one to match it. One
day the dear little School-ma' am saw
squirrel sailing on the creek that runs
by the red school-house. To be sure,
there was no sail to the boat, and
there was no boat either, for that mat
ter. The squirrel was seated high and
dry on a big piece of bark and another
squirrel was swimming behind and
steadily pushing the barque Gas the
deacon calls it.) Whether the furry
passenger was timid, or merely lazy,
can not say, but probably she was the
mother of the family and she was used
to being waited upon.-Fr0na "Jack-

Mauling a Washer.

The newspapers are not paying
much attention to the local masher

PLdindedIer. yet he is as numerous
and insulting as ever. | suppose that
the newspaper has healthier matter to
deal with. Yet the fact remains that
no young woman can walk alone in

without being ogled, followed, or
accosted by some fellow who turks in
doOrways or on street corners.
know a girl who took a wise course
after being accosted by big, hulking
fellow few nights ago. She answered
him pleasantly and told him that he
might walk home with her. She lives
on st. Clair street He walked by her
side, and as they neared the house she
asked him to wait. She had been on
an errand and wo nd come out again.
He waited. She came out With her
came a stalwart brother-in-law, who
mauled the masher in beautiful style.
Any girl can work this formula. After
a dozen Washers have received as
many sound thrashings there will be
less of them in The land, for the fell
lows are cowardly gossips and ex-
change experiences.

A minister of the gospel in one of
the counties in Middle Tennessee bord-
ering on the Cumberland Range
thought that he would try one of the
Rev. Sam Jones lodges on the congre-
CATION and see how it would work.
He had seen the Rev. Sam use it with
wonderful effect, and he could see no
good reason why it should not prove
equally as effective with him. and he
was badly in need of a mucilage of
some sort to make his hearers stick
until he could reach the lastly On
the occasion referred to he assembled
the platform as usual. and, after the
preliminary services, he slowly removed
his glasses, and. glancing over his
audience. remarked solemnly that he
was going to deal in some plain. I'M
vanished gospel truths to-day, and
would try, the Lord being willing and
helping, to expose the hypocrisy of
processing Christians, and if there were
any person or persons present who did
not want to hear it. they had an oppor-
tunlty right then to track out" To
his utter surprise and CONSERVATION,
the congregation rose as one man and
tracked. '-NashUille (Tean.) diner
