Let there be a large turn out on
the occasion of the decoration Of the

custom Of strewing flowers on the

The Standard Oil Company, in order to protect
its pIOperty,frOm tramps has ordered 200 bull dogs
which will be distributed throughout the Ohio oil
felds.-EXchange
The Standard Oil Company is the
meanest monopoly in the United
States, and now after robbing the peo-
pie of millions, it proposes to tram
bulldogs to tear to pieces human be-
ings whom it calls tramps. In slav-
cry times the sIave-owner bred blood
hounds with which 10 hunt down
black men. Now the Standard Oil
Monopolists are breeding savage bull
dogs to lacerate and tear the flesh of
either white or black, or both. Such
cruelty begets anarchy.

freight engine doing switching came
in collision with a boulder upon the

suffering untold agony, no one being
able to render assistance. just be-

man to him, and while one half of
his body was roasting from the heat
of the engine, dictated his will, leav-

garding his funeral, and whom he de-
sired to conduct the services. He
then offered prayer and died. The
body was brought here last night to
be shipped to San Francisco. Sew

Kansas has 100000 more inhabitants
than Texas, and one penitentiary with
about 800 prisoners, Kansas prOhib-
its the sale of strong drinks. Texas
issues license and thus fosters saloons,
has two large penitentiaries with g.

Four Cockroaches In His Stom ach.

Z . ( & 8 : S x 4
William Amos, proprietor of the
st. James hotel, on Hughson street,
Hamilton. Canada, on Friday went
up to his dinner about 1870 o'clock
and Mrs. Amos went downstairs to
mind the bar-room. Meanwhile their
little infant, 5 weeks old, was left ~
ing in cradle in an upper bedroom.
When Mrs. Amos returned to the up
stairs apartments sheheard the baby
crying and at once took it up in her
arms. She noticed thatit was death
ly pale and was gasping for breath.
In moment the frightened mother
saw a large cockroach in the child's
mouth, which she pulled QUO. Two
Others came up in a little while, and
the now thoroughly alarmed mother
rushed off to consult DR. Lafferty.
That gentleman had never heard Of
such a case before He said that the
infant could not stand strong medi-
cine, but he gave the mother mild
emetic to administer. This had the
effect of bringing up another cock
roach, bigger and uglier than any Of
it's predecessors. It was nearly an
inch long and was caught by Mrs.
Amos on the child's tongue. Every
one of the insects were alive. -Phila

calf the dog mixed himself up in the
transaction and went off in the

about noon, but the dog stayed in
the cart and got killed. That's all

Ben Worsham's SenseIess Dog.

OF all the "ornary' worthless ours
[ ever knew among dogs, Ben Wor-
sham's white dog was the worst He
came to stay at Ben s-about half a
mile down the road here-one St.
Patrick's Day. He was a "nigger
dog" but Worsham said he was a
white Malay setter. He didn't have
sense to howl when you hit him. He
used to sneak over to the village to
steal something, and if ANYBODY
looked at him, he would tuck his
tail between his legs and run till the
ground grew hotunder his feet. You
never saw such a, coward of a dog.
Ben used to half starye him, and
about all the time the dog WASH t
running away from something or
somebody, hewas hanging around
the butchers or the bakers. Ben
was trying tobe Postmaster through
about five administrations, and the
dog got to thinking they lived at
the post office, seeing Ben there

Ben took the Northwestern Recorder
land thinking it was something, to

and the folks would take it away
from him. He newer dared to stop
on the road; once he started to run
he ran faster every Jump until he got
inside the gate. He went into the
chicken yard once to forage tor his
dinner, and am old hen Just about
thrashed the life out of him. After
that he tried ito make friends with
her, while he watched his chance to
gobble 10 chick, but SO long as she
kept her eye on him he didn't dare
touch ONE OF them. He always
followed the family TO church, be-
cause once a year the Sunday school
had picnic on the grounds, and the
dog would then gorge himself all day
and all night ON scraps. He hadn't
sense enough to know what time of
the year the picnic was held, SO he
used to go every time the gate was

nothing but picnics held there. He.

Modern Robinson Crusoes.

New York Sun.
1t has been suggested that on some
OF the hundreds of uninhabited Pa
chic islands there are castaway Rob
lnson Crusoes waiting for sail and
living on the bounties of which ma
ture is usually so lavish in those re
glons, One Of these castaways, a
sailor named Jorgenson, was found
fifteen months ago on the littespeck
known as Midway Island, where he
had been abandoned by his ship
mates, who looked upon him as a
desperate and dangerous person.
There he was living without human
companionship, 1900 miles north
west OF Honolulu, on the eastern
edge OF that vast expanse known as
the Arson Archipelago, not one of
whose little islands is known to be
inhabited. The sailors who found
Jorgensen there were castaways
themselves from the wrecked bark
Wandering Minstrel On this little
rock they lived for fourteen months,
faring poorly on sea birds and fish,
until finally a boat they sent out in
October last took the news of their
distress to Honolulu, and early last
month a schooner released them
from their prison.
Some wonderful boat journeys are
made over the Pacifc's waste of wa
tiers, journeys that would usually
be impossible ON the more tu,nultl-
Gus Atlantic. Two men a Chinese

1000 miles from Tahiti in a, small
sail boat. When his isolation grew
irksome he stopped in the Hervey
group, took a native wife and went
gaily on his way to the island that
has since been his home. The news
of the wreck of the Henry James on
a coral reef was carried by five men
last year in a row boat /, 400 miles
to Samoa. Some years ago two Eng
fish men named Baker and Reid mar
ried Samoan girls and took them in
a little sailboat 1900 miles to Sun
day island where ryears they We're

and putting into Mausoleum Island
for fresh supply, one of them was
drowned in the surf and the other

until his release was purchased by a
passing schooner. The voyagers
had travelled 500 miles.
Many white men are voluntarily
exiles among the natives of little is
lands: where they dry copra to be
shipped about once year on
schooners which replenish their

of sailors who have abandoned civil

of native women, and become very
important persons in a limited area.
