Hip, Hip, Hurrah!
ondcnce Of the Democrat.


 RUssELLvILLE, June 17.The town council has done a good thing Tn levying tax on dogs, this law should be adopted by every town and city ! in the state, in short we should have state dog law similar. Hundreds of cattle and hogs die annually from hydrophobia, while flocks of sheep are worried and killed off by useless CUTS that arc good for nothing only to bark at the moon and keep people awake nights. We shall soon see how many dogs there are in our city that are worth one dollar piece. My opinion is the whole of them are not worth dollar, alive. A dead dog is worth something. A close es- innate shows that there is fertilizer enough in good sized dog to pro duce from two to four bushels of corn. Then why not blow them under2
 l hope at their next meeting our town council will remember the cats very kindly also, and make them worth something, us they are, q good trap IS worth dozen of them. Levy tax on them same as on the dogs. These midnight screamers should have close attention. Why they are perfectly reckless, just few nights since large thomas with side whis kers jumped plum through one of our windows, and he hadn't more than landed when he gave three cheers for the victor and bounced upon poor little cat that had taken refuge there as if to devour it, and such noise you never heard, of course 1t woke the whole house, daughter reached out and got her shoes and commenced firing at the noise in the dark, wife jumped up to get the broom, and 1 got up to see what was going to happen, and just as l got to tue dining room door l saw dark streak coming and made terrific kick at him, but when I kicked where he was he had done gone. Dadburn the cats. Let the farmers come in about the first of July and buy few loads of dogs and cats from our marshal to fertilize their soil with, and if they keep dogs themselves, let them try plough ing them under, they will then raise coru enough for their own use and have some wool to sell.
 Probably levying . tax on cats might not be agreeable to some young old ladies who have a few for pets, but if they will say nothing about it we will see to it that every old bachelor not married by cotton picking time shall be promptly fined $2.50, that will counterbalance, you see, and no telling what good may come out of 1t.

How to Keep In Good Form.

HOW to Keep In Good Form.
John Lawrence Sullivan, the champion
pugilist of the world, was asked how he
kept his health, and why other men
couldn't do as he did.
''In the first place." he answered, "they
ought to set apart fifteen minutes to half
an hour every morning for exercise.
More than half Of them lie in bed until
the last moment in the morning, then
jump up, dress in Il hurry. and so right to
the breakfast table, and wonder why they
have no appetite and feel dull and stupid.
The human stomach was not made to be
treated that way. A man should. after
getting up, take ten minutes brisk walk
if possible, or, il that is not convenient.
use light pair Of dun,b-bells for three or
four minutes, so us to bring out a slight
perspiration. Then he should rub himself
dry with a coarse towel, and after that
take n sponge or towel bath. T!len after
he has rubbed himself dry, he should rub
and slap himself briskly as l have done
Just now. Then after dressing, let him
go to the table and eat couple of
poached eggs on toast, or bit of nice
steak with bread and coffee, and he will
be f1t for his days work aud, my word
for it. he Will want no other tonic to give
him an appetite for his dinner. Should
he need q laxative he can find few things
better than fruit. Stewed prunes eaten
at night are excellent. If & young clerk
does as have said for two weeks and
don't find himself as fine asa fiddle, there
is something serious the matter with him
and he had better consult good doctor. :"

The VIII on the I1earthstone.

When was boy heard OF q lawyer
who was called up in the middle Of cold
Winters night TO draw out the will of an
old farmer who lived some three miles
away, and who was dying. The messenger
had brought cart to convey the lawyer
to the farm, and the Latter in due time az
rived at his destination. When he entered
the house he was Immediately ushered in.
to the sick room, and then he requested to
be supplied with pen, ink, and paper.
There were none In the house! This law"
yer had not brought any himself, and
what was he to do2 No; they had none.
The farmer was sinking fast, though quite
conscious, AZ lest the legal gentleman
saw chalked up on the back Of the bed
room door column upon column OF figures
in chalk. These were milk "scoresn or
s.shots," He Immediately asked for g
piece of chalk, and then kneeling on the
floor, he wrote out concisely upon the
smooth tearthstone the last will and testa-
ment of the dying man. The farmer SUBJ
seQuently died. The hearthstone will was
sent to the principal registry in London
with special atfldavits, and WAS duly prov ed
the will being deposited in the archives
of the registry. I may mention that
the law does not state what substance or
with what instrument will must be
written.-| Chambers Journal.

"Twenty-tive years ago." said Mr. Rob

arranged between Maud S. and Jay-Eye-
See, 81 made IL public announcement that
if ever allowed one of my horses to trot
against another horse the first man who
appeared at my stable the following morn
ing could have the horse. I am not anx-
ious TO part with Maud S. at present.
never have and never shall allow one Of
my horses to trot for money. I take the
ground that gentleman may own and
drive fast horse without making gam
bier of himself Besides there is no horse
that approaches Maud S. in speed as yet.
If any man desires to trot his horse against
her let him first beat ber record. Then
there will be plenty of time to talk about
arranging race. She has not only beaten
the record of all other horses, but has on
three separate occasions beaten her own
record. Maud S. has made the fastest
time-2.l3 1-5-that was ever made in q
race against other racers and subsequent
ly she reduced that record, from time to
time, to Eli 81, 2.1O 3-4, 2.l0 1-2, 2.101
2.oa i, 200 IA, and 2.OS3-4.
q have received no challenge from the
owner of Jay-Eye-See, neither is it my
opinion that one will be made. It is all
simply gossip. Maud S. is in excellent
condition.

rhe Candle Fish.

People do not get candles from water,
as rule. believe, but nevertheless there
was time when men were indebted to
the ocean formuch Of the light that made
their homes pleasant at night The best
candles and oil of your forefathers' time
came from whales. There is, however. e.
very remarkable lght-giyer, which ia
nothing more nor less than a small fish.
The fish is SO very oily that all you have
to do after it has departed this life is to
fasten it by its Jail between two pieces
OF wood touch q match to it's head, and a
pale flame will arise from the fish's mouth
that lasts until, like a candle the fish is
slowly consumed. The useful fish, more
over, is very important one to peo
pie living on the northwestern coast OF
North America. AT certain seasons the
candle fishes swarm the bays and rivers
iu vast numbers, and every native man,
woman and child is engaged in capturing
them. And how do you suppose they
capture them? They actually comb them
in. The boats drive them IN shore, where
each native, armed with gigantic
weapon with teeth eight inches long,
sweeps:or combs them up by the hundred.
When the boats are loaded full the fish are
carried ashore, where women and chill
dren take charge of them. After being
dried and smoked they are ready for can
dies. They are also used as food, and in
that case the oil is tried out and put away
fer winter use.-(St. Nicholas.

Love and XmA~fMRlfO


is love, after ALL worth making such q
fuss about? Would that could answer
the question i'll the affirmative. And, IN
fact, I have come to the conclusion that,
instead Of falling in love it is better to
imagine you have done SO. If your fancy
is liyely one, the result will be precisely
the same. Possibly this may be ques
toned. Take, then, the case of a young
man in love. His hearts idol is depart.
ing on railway journey. He fondly ac-
companies her to the station, leaving his
office without permission; and is re-
warded by pressure of the beautiful
hand. He returns to the office, is rebuked,
wastes two hours of valuable time writing
her letter, sleeps badly, is late again
next day, and is perhaps dismissed. Does
her letter in answer addressing him as
her ..own," make up for all this? More
than likely there is no letter i'll answer; :.
and what are his fears then? On the
other hand, take a young man whose love
is imaginary. She lights his pipe for him,
lets him hold her hand rs long as he
chooses, and comes and goes at his pleas-
ure. He can see letters from her calling
him everything that Is delightful, and he
is not penny out Of pocket by her. They
talk of burning kisses; but if he will sit
down by his cosy freside and fancy the
burning kisses, he will jnst be as we'll of

Dry Forks, Ark, a gentleman who has
written for the North American Review

however, has failed to appear in either Of
those publications, which slight, whether
Intentional or not, has caused the emf

to the editor of the Atlantic Monthly:

A Washington correspondent Of the
Cleveland Leader writes: II rode home
from the Capitol last night in a Gag in
which there were half dozen Justices of
the Supreme Court, and, when Off the
Bench, can tell you you will not find a
jollier set of fellows anywhere. They had
left their gowns in the disrobing- -rosm, and
came into the car in oyercoats and lnufflers.
Stanley Matthews led the procession and
he took his seat way up near the fare-box,
where, during the whole trip, he bobbed
up and down putting in fares, and getting
change for the people behind him. Just
opposite him sat Judge Miller, and at the
side Of Matthews was the Chief-justice.
After the vehicle had gone a BLOCK or two,
little ruddy-faceG boy Of perhaps six
years got into it, but failed to fad seat.
Chief justice Waite took him by the hand,
aud said: How 90 you do, my little man2
Let me have your fare, and I will pass 1t

boys hand, and, drawing him in between
his big fat legs, gave him seat on the
edge OF the bench and made much Of him
during the whole ride. Strangers who
came into the car asked questions OF the
great Judges, whom they Gid not know,
and were kindly answered without con-
descension. Poorly dressed women came
in, and these ten-thousand-dolla year
Justices squeezed themselves into uncom-
