Those animals partook strangely Of
human form, beast, bird aud fish. They
stood on two feet like men-some having
same number of toes. Their legs were
covered with scales like fish. The upper
part of the thigh was covered with feath.
ers like birds. On either side were
grown out appendages corresponding to
the arms of man. The head was held
high like unto that of an African giraffe.
They had horns like an OK on each leg.
Their tails were raised and curved more
graceful than that of the wild buffalo.
Thoir backs were shaped very much like
tbs seat of an extra easy seated saddle
But their heads How can ne describe
them7 For fear we miss it, we will only
say that they had eyes, nose, mouth, etc,
like other animals, but no forehead or
chin; something hung under the throat
like mottles under pigs neck.

in his usual vigorous manner to assall

Killen arose and objected. Then came
voice from the rear of the church: "Give
it to him. He's one of thom."
Killen arose facing the audience and
cried in response Liar; you're liar,
Then there were cries of "Put him out"
but Small objected, and stated that he was
accustomed to such people. The excite.
ment subsidized, but soon Mr.. Killen vas
on his feet again and asked MIR. Small If
prohibition became law whether manu-.
facturers were to have their property
practically coniscated without compensa:
tion. Small answered that United
States Court had decided that prohibition
was constitutional and did not carry com.
pensation with it. Killen then attempt
ed to argue it with Small, shaking his fist
under the latter's nose. An attempt was
then made to put Killen out. The audi.
ence cheered, and then Killen refused to
20 unless be was forced. One old tenn.
perance lady became so excited that she
rushed up to Killen and struck him in
the face with her fist. Small stopped
speaking while the confusion reigned.
Order was finally restored and he contin.
ued his lecture. The audience pass ed
resolutions requesting Judge White to re
fuse Killen renewal of his license.

for their meals-stopped business, closed
doors, and let their clerks off chat they

mails. Old women, who have not been
down town for years, were seen to exam
inc most critically those curious beasts,
birds or fish, whichever they were. The
whole town of little boys turned out ep
masse, erd stood 80 thick about the cage
that the sweet little girls could hardly
get a glimpse at the curiosities. Occa-

beautifully combed hair and flashing
eyes, would make room for his best girl.

the dear maidens. The fashionable
young ladies of the town were out, es'
