SADIE'S BUTCH.
The Part He Played in a Genuine
Love Affair.
AS Told by - Policeman.

D--~N---N---S
Soft-hearted! What do you take me
for? Not in my line of duty. Care
for dogs? Not snap. Excuse mel
do care for their snaps. Never was a
fancier. Know Skye from a terrier,
and what is bull-pup. There was
Irish Mike, who set one on me once.
Ugly tenement-house. as black and
dark inside as q tunnel. Saw some
thing white; that was the dogs hide or
teeth; and flash of red; that was may
be his eyes and mouth; and he missed
f. my throat by an inch. 1 hit HIM with
my billy, and that shunted him, and he
: went clean over the railing of the stair.
fifty feet down, and hang me if,
crippled as he was, that same dog didn't
come crawling up the stair after me
again! BY that time 1 had Mike.
What was he doingP Hammering his
wife with lap-stone. They were ever
lastingly failing one another or their
children. So you see 1 am not over
fond of dogs. But that has nothing
particular to do with another dog that
came under my notice.
Yes, Sadie came from a sad lot. The
whole kit of them. excepting that girl,
were always in hot water There was
no father, and the old woman was bad.
and Saddles brothers were toughs.
Kun. sir, rum. and promiscuous ac-
quaintance with tavern loafers, spoilt
them. Sadie kept that family, work
ing in feathers or some kind of light
fancy job; but she never could put n
penny aside. [ have seen that oirl of
cold sleety day take off her shawl SO
as to hide her disreputable old mother
from the passers-by.
A young fellow came along, a plumb
er and gas-titter by trade; a likely
chap, and an all-around mechanic.
Dave Shaw's people knew something
about, so l tried to throw little jobs of
work in his way. l could do that
sometimes. Going my rounds of cold
winter nights. it's my duty to watch
out for the waterpipes. If you know
Your business you can soon learn when
4 pipe is bursted, because of the tizzine
and trickling. Besides damage, there's
loss of water to the department. If
the shopkeepers live near, 1 let
them know. Then would tell
Dave, and people would be glad to give
him the job at once; and as he never,
different from plumbers, took advan-
tage of the situation, he got along first
rate.
don't know just how Dave became
acquainted with Sadie, for she was not
sociable kind of young woman;

Food and Morality.

Prof. F +. Miles, of the faculty Of
the University of Maryland. delivered
lecture to large audience of young
men recently. on Food and Diges-
ton" In the course Of his lecture
Prof. Miles. in speaking of the effects
of an insufficient quantity Of food.
said: 1.-The fat disappears first, then
the muscles waste away, and finally
the bones come through the skin. The
brain, the spinal cord and the nerves
are nourished to the last Like king
in a beleaguered city to whom his loyal
subjects give up their food, the nobler
organs are longest nourished- In
starvation there is not simple hunger
of the stomach, but hunger of the
whole body. 1t is not strange that
when hunger presses on people they
will do strange things 1t produces
insanity. and they have been driven to
eating what has been called strange
fiesh;' that is to cannibalism. There
are millions of people who have not
enough to eat. 1t is at the bottom of
anarchy. The police may give them a
loaf of bread, but the whole body is i'll
nourished, and restless feeling re-
suits. Not much can be done with the
grown-up people of the criminal
classes, but the child criminal comes
first. The criminal classes are called
dirty, lazy and ugly. OF course they
are. They are dirty because they have
no spare heat to let go; lasy. because
the muscles are weak and nature tells
them to keep still whel hungry.
You would be astonished to know how
much of the beauty of the fairest
women is made up of fat. The GRIM
inal classes are ugly becauge they have
no fat. How could child whose mus
cles and nervous system have been
partly starved be expected to have all
the sympathies and instincts of high
er class of society? An everyday Sab
bath-school with breakfast before the
lesson would be a capital thing for
poor children. Some say the poor
themselves are to blame for their con-
dition by living too luxuriously. One
of the most intense cravings of the
Greedy Arctic party was for sweet
meats. Tea and coffee do more good
than harm. They stimulate not only the
brain, but the activities of the whole
body. There will be great mission
to the poor some day to see that they
get enough good food. -BGltinsOre Sun

RED KNIFE

was a typical Indian war; or and cut
throat. The history of his raid, and
of KIT CARsoN's skill and heroism in
meeting the perils of the occasion, is
begun in No. z of the New York
Ledger. ROBERT BoNNER's Sons have
issued millions of sample copies of
this number of the Ledger, but there
are, probably. persons who have not
yet had copy, and we are informed
that any one who has not had one of
these sample copies can get one free
of expense by simply sending his
at the corner of William and Spruce
streets, New York. This is cert ainly
an easy and cheap way to get a speci-
men number of the greatest Indian
story ever published.

A Famous Indian, and Still More
Famous indian Fighter.

We give below picture of KIT CAR
SON, the famous scout and Indian
fighter, whose thrilling exploits sur
passed in interest and adventure those
of all other frontier heroes. KRIS
portrait shows that he was a very lion
in courage and stern determination.
and also a man of fine intellect. He
was. in truth, the ideal American here
of the wild Western border.
