An Amusement Ia Uaioh the Victim Par
ttcipHted to the Rest of It's Ability.
A yearling calf. who hung down his
head in the meekest manner. and whose
large eyes seemed to be chuck full of
sorrow over some calf-calamity, was in
a ward on Second Avenue the other day,
when along came two young Buffalo
Bills. They had lassos made of stolen
clothes-lines, aud they had been prac-
ticng on every hitching post for hall a
mile around. As soon as they saw that
calf they realized that they had struck
bonanza. Here was living, breath
ing thing to practice on, and they lost
no time in going to work on that mag
mary buffalo. AS the calf stood stock
still it was no great feat to throw the
nooses over his head. The trouble was
10 get them of again. AS the slip
knots frightened the calf backed off and
uttered the most doleful bawls, and
he seemed so utterly meek that the
boys climbed the fence to secure their
ropes The calf backed off until he
had them twenty feet from the fence,
and then sudden change took place
all over MIN. Down went bis head
and up went his tail, and the first boy
hadn't cult rolling over and over when
the second followed after. They got
up to 70 down again, and the calf had
both of them nicely cornered when a
pedestrian rushed in and turned the
scale.
How did it happen?" he asked.
I'VE t-took him for a b-bufalon'
howled one.
'And I'll n-never hunt another ~
sobbed the second. I'm going right
home and trade off my bowie-knife for
rat.trap, and if anybody'll buy my
pistol I'll sell it for half dollar Mis-
ter, do you think we've been morfully
injured?"
The pedestrian thought that internal
injuries might possibly "set in in case
they were out much after dark, and
they limped away with white faces and
fearful eyes.-Detr0U Free Press.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.



BE Avoided.
If the question of cruelty TO animals
be viewed solely from an economical
point of view, it will be, on that score
alone, utterly condemned as most
costly as well as barbarous indulgence.
In speaking of cruelty" we do not
now refer to acts of wanton or brutal
cruelty, such as are in most civilized
countries punishable by law as crimes,
and perhaps in place of the stronger
term we might use the word harshness,
our true meaning being anything in act
OF speech which is the reverse of kind
ness. Not only does the thrift and
well-beng of stock, the docle obedience
OF horses, which is induced by kindness,
afford an immediate and profitable re-
turn for that very inexpensive invest
ment. but the habits engendered in
hired help and in young persons by
kind treatment and careful considera-
ton of the wants of stock, are Of the
utmost importance. What mav be
merely unnecessary harshneSs, or ex-
cessive irritablity in the owner, will on
the other hand. be very likely to
develop in the hired help, or in the
young, absolute indifference, and even
wanton cruelty. for u bad habit COM
municated always gains in degree In
stOckraising, it often, OF course, be-
comes necessary to perform certain
operations. which are accompanied with
more or less pain TO the animals, such
az ringing bull, etc, and in the
performance Of these, sometimes from
sheer nervousness, sometimes from q
foolish desire to conceal ones nervous
ness from others, an irritable manner is
assumed, and harsh language is used
with evil results, both to the temper of
the animal operated upon and in the
bad example Snowman example far
more readily adopted than any good ex-
ample. Speaking of this subject recalls
to mind the recent sentencing in the
State of New York of several boys for
chopping OF the tails of seven COWS
close to their bodies. Such an act on
the part of Young lads can only be at
tributable to a cruel disposition, either
inherited or cultivated by evil example.
70 children well brought up and famil-
L only with good examples, the idea
of nilictlng useless pain is abhorrent.-
