Plucky Boys.

A cruel hoax was perpetrated on the
Belknap Rifles yesterday. A message
was received by Captain Hal Howard,
apparently from Fort Worth, command
ing the company to procure all their
available men and proceed to that
city this morning. With mar
tial ardor fired the youthful soldiers
went to their homes, their breasts SWELL
ing with patriotic zeal and procuring
their blankets, assembled in their
armory, sleeping there all night
in order to be in readiness to
90 by train to Fort Worth. Before
starting for the depot, however, the
joke played on them was disclosed,
and they are now looking around
for the wsg who tried to
fool them. Although the affair
was not serious, the Belknap Rifles are
to be commended for the earnest zeal
and pluck which they displayed in an
swering SO promptly to what they then
thought was serious matter.

Cruelty to Animals.

One OF the urgent duties that the So
ciety for the Prevention OF Cruelty to
Animals should impose upon itself, is the
remedying Of widely.spread evil that
hitherto has been overlooked ; this is the
prevention of throwing offal and other
rubbish on the prairie or chapparal
within the city limits. The worst feat
ure Of this Is the tin-can nuisance; these
cans are thrown down promisouously,
and cattle get their hoOves into them,
cutting and injurirg them severely.
A gentleman yesterday saw instances Of
this on Dignowity Hill. One two-yesr-
old had one Of the hooves cut off by a
tin can which had caught on Ii while
the animal WAS walking, and another
was seen with tin can embedded in its
hoof, creating inflammation and pain.
Anot er outrage Is that the vegetable
refuse thrown down is often poisoned by
these tins, and the cattle eating ii die.
Mr.. Campbell can corroberate this asser-
ton, he having lost % head OF cattle last
year from this cause.

First and Second Methodist.

young man had always accompanied his
parents 10 the First Methodist Church. One
Sunday morning his father was surprised
when, In reply TO Are you ready, Johnr' the
will attend the Second Methodist this morn
ing Upon this the old gentleman departed
for the First Methodist, I'm which sanctuary he
was shining light and great power around
the amen corner. The deacon, although q
hard-worktng Christian, also believed in the
good things of mother earth, and had a plen-
tifully supplied wine cellar, which las he
knew that the young were liable TO be indis-
Greet he kept under lock and key For several
weeks the deacon had noted the hollow sounds
In his wine casks, and he also noticed that his
son had taken great liking for the Second
Methodist Church. On the following Sunday
the deacon again asked his son TO 20 to the
First Methodist but John replied that he had
ALREADY made arrangements TO attend the Sec
ond Methodist. The deacon quietly departed,
and John, with three companions, who had
been in waiting, went 10 the cellar, where they
had been all along secretly INDUCING in the
deacon's fine old wines. John flew TO the door
and tried to insert the key, but could not find
the keyhole. He struck a match and saw,
with surprise, that the keyhole had been
plugged and that very strong, able-bodied
paddock had been attached to the door As
the rays of light from the Pickering match re-
tected against the door they all noticed some,
thing white, upon which was some charactere-

their eyes as they read, in large letters, these
words; Second Methodist closed for re-

To Spur q faded Appetite

digestive organs is another. And yet mere
appetizers are constantly mistaken for and
are even termed tonics. Hostetter's Stomcah

tonics which impart a relish for the food.
These have their use, and are estimable, pro

remedial operation of the Bitters is far wider.
