THE BOY.
Little Johnny Writes a Compost
ton on Him.


Boys is the master peece of creashion
and wen boy iSent that he is sissy
and Billy, that's my brother, can lick
him. But gerls they can't walk a fence
nor ridestradle. Wen boy gets so he
can Whistle with his hands, loud like
he was a Steem bOte and stand on his
head and skin the cat on swing, then
his mother she is nifty prowd and she
says, "WOt q fine boy, his eyes are the
livin immidgeS of his fathers, but in
everything witch he does he is jest like
me-"
If l wasent boy I'd rather be dead,
cos then | wudent have to be gerlS.
GerlS is stuck up, but boys don't. Wen
a boy gets nOugh to eat, plenty oaks
and pie, he groeS to be man and gives
his mother gold house for to live in,
and l guess lie go and shO mine wot
have rote a bout boys, mebby she can
tell me WOt to say.
One time me and Billy we was to
Sundy skoOl, and the teacher he sed,
"Now, Johnny, mebby you can tell me
the name of the first boy in the world.'
Then | spoke up and sed: Jack
Johnsonr'
The teacher he was astonish, and
bime by he Sed: IVY, how can Jack
be the first boy wen Cain was born 5000
years ago and Jack is only but jest
l3teen years Old?''
Then sed: "Yes, but Jack he can
lick any other boy of his size, and has
got uncle with six toes on his feet
wich is a show"
Then Billy he spoke up and he sed g:
Yes, sir, and if Cain was born six
thousan' years ago he isent any longer a
boy"
But Gorge Washton wen he was a
man was first in whar and first in peace
an first in the arts of his countrymen,
witch means, Uncle Ned says, that he
knew how to pull the wires and work up
his boom.
A boy can suck hen eg, but a geese
eg kanacks him. Bildad, that's the new
dog, he used to suck hen egS, till my
father he filed eg shell with pepper
SoSs and put it were Bildad he found it,
vile me and Billy we was hid for to
wOtch. Bildad he seen the hen egg, and
looked all round to see if eny body was
lookin, and then he went up to it and
Shuke his he'd, much as to say: Poor
thing, it won't never hatch in sech a
carefel and take it to better place, were
the dear little chickin viii feel more to
home when he comes out"
So Bildad he. picked the eg up with
his mouth. and shot his eys up and
smiled Offie sweet for to think wot a
good time he was goin for to have with
the yeller, but pretty quick wen he busted
it he was yeller his own self, yes, in
deed, and trying for to pillow up the gras
with both sides of his face to once.

GRAPE AND CANISTER.
The Police Find a Champion and
the Laws a Critic.

To the Editor of the Globe.
appears another "expose," in glazing
headlines, of the causes which led
to the raid made by the police on
the gamblers, in which the author takes
the opportunity to ''rOast'' the police
the same source which previously was
scoring the police for allowing gambling
houses to run, seems to casual OBJ
server pickayunish and spiteful, to say
the least, and sounds as if the reporter
who wrote it had been caught IN the
whirl. The Spleenic inSinuatiOns are
direct insult and Slur upon as efficient
and well-disciplined body of men as
can be found in any city. The police
force has long since been the butt of
ridicule and criticisms of de-
signing, jealous and INSCRIPTIONS
people; and there is no body of men
who meet with as many Universities,
trials and hardShipS. and receive as lit
tie credit for their labOrs.
The laws which govern misdemeanOrS
are so tiimsy and indefinite in some in
stances that the police are pOwerless to
act without calling in the advice of the
proper attorneys, as, perhaps, was the
case referred to.
When the law makes it a fine or i'm
prisOnment for any unlicensed person to
keep Intoxicating liquor in any place,
except for private use, and allows an
officer with reasonable suspicion to en-
ter and search for the same. blind pig
gerry will disappear. As it is, they can
do nothing unless they have proof posi-
tive that liquor is sold in such places.
There are some knOw-allS who are
never. satisfied; who profess to be the
moulders of public sentiment; and yet
who abuse that right by indulging in
the delusive idea that they must kick
against public servants and officials
who do not adhere to their way of think
ing, or lose their reputation; and who
can tell an experienced chief how to
run police force, to work the polite
ians or manage a cock fight to per-
lection in the latest approved style.

A Beavers Dam.
PHILADELPHIA Dispatch.

Phlladelphla Dispatch.
A college professor in Maine tells how
he convinced a friend who did not be-
lieve that beavers could build dams. He
bought baby beaver of hunter one
day and sent it to his skeptical friend.
The beaver became great pet in the
house, but showed no signs of wanting
to build dams until one Monday morn
ing a leaky pail full of water
was put on the floor in the
back kitchen. The beaver was there;
he was only baby then, too, but the
moment he saw the water oozing out of
crack in the pail he scampered into
the yard, brought in a chip, and com
menced building a dam. His owner
was called and watched the little fellow,
very much astOnished at what he saw.
He gave orders to have the pail left
there and the industrious beaver kept
at his work four weeks, when he had
built solid dam around the pail. The
professors friend believes now that
beavers knew thing OF two about dam
building.

Col. Mike Brannigan, the celebrated

on visit to this city. MI. Brannigan
said yesterday:

Talking about centipedes, tarantu-

said Henry Carmello, of Pomona, at the
Grand yesterday, Il never did see so
many things of this sort as did late one
evening just east of Pomona, in Los An
geles county, last August. Itbeats any
thing L ever read about. Myself and
tnree or four others were coming from
SllvertOn creek, where we had been
fishing. We were passing over the sandy
plain, where small vineyards here and
there dotted the surface. Suddenly, as
we drove along, one of the boys uttered
an exclamation of surprise and let his
gun go at something. Then he leaped
out, and crack went his gun again. as
though straight into the ground. Again
he shot, and to our exclamation of sur
prise-fOr we could not divine what
he was at-he said:
Why there! Don't you see? Tar
antulas!
"And, sure enough. there they were
thick and fast upon the ground, crawl
ing hither and thither, as though an
army of them were loose, and devastat-
ms Iiio couHely. NoW, IHlS ~ you
sounds like fish story, but it is true
That section is just swarming with
these poisonous reptiles. Every one
of us began firing. We shot and shot,
and must have killed scores of
them. Then, by deity using some
sticks we. had, we got about sixty
of them into a bucket. Fight? You
ought just to have seen them. At first
they wouldn't fight. We put two or
three together and tried to egg them On
No go. They seemed slow about Sc
ginning to use the poison on each OtheE.
Then we put in some more, and began
stirring them up with stick. You
ought to have seen them launch into
each other. The more we put in the
more they fought, until we had put in
the three score l had told you about,
and had the bucket half full. We
had just writing mass of poison.
Sting and fight!, My land, how they
did do it, though. They kept it up fol-
quite, long time, until we got tired Of
watching them. The, httlesones died
the soonest, af1dF sunk to- the bottom
amidst a mass of blood, While the, old
and big ones stayed Oh top. -
"At length two old bull tarantuiaS
held the field. All else had sunk down.
These were two yeritable Napoleons.
Fight? You ought to have seen the
blood fly now. Such awful and vindic-
tive thrustS, and such mercilesS bellig-
erentS L shall never see again if | live
1,000years. The battle lasted about five
minutes more, and then they went down
together. Which was the stronger,
more enduring, or GAMER, it would be
hard to say. When they got through
we just had bucketful of dead spiders.
