heard 4 good and altogether new
story of Bob Burdctte and the late
Thomas a. Hendricks, says writer in
the Kansas City Times. Several years
ago, while the lamented Indianian was
touring the west, urdetto was the
funny man of the Burlington Hawkeye.
In that capacity he wrote n good many
satirical verses concerning Mr.. Hen
bricks. One day Burdettc was at a
railroad hotel 1T Iowa City when the
proprietor called him.
"Sec here, Bob" said the Bonifacc,
there's man in the dining-room
whom you're just dying to meet. Come
along"
"Who is it?" asked the humorist,
hanging back.
20, come on; it's all right" said the
hotel man, and with that Burdette was
hustled into the eating room.
"Mr Hendriclss-Mr. Burdcttc, said
the proprietor, whereupon n handsome,
smiling man arose from u table, and, cx-
tending his hand to the man from Bur
lington, said:
-Ahu 81 .iiS ID Alr. buruetlc, is 1t?

And Mr.. Hendricks proceeded to re-
cite the whole poem. Then he recalled
another and another, rcciting, before
he was through, half dozen of the
satirical outbursts in rhyme that had
been directed against him.
II never felt really bashful before, :"
said the genial humorist, now of Brook
lyn, "but that was the time when I
would have welcomed an earthquake
That would have swallowed me up"

The CRUELTY OF FISHING.

Iikcned Unto the Slaughter OF kittens
OF Butterflies.
Shall tell you what fishing is like?
1t is like an expedition of armed
soldiers going out to shoot kittens!
Like man of war, full-riggcd, cruising
for butterflies. What is q fish? An
armless, leglcss. witless creature,
weighing from half to n couple of
pounds on On average.
What is man? A monster with
hands that control cunningly-devised
and baited hooks, I'm average one hun
dred and forty-pounder in weight, with
u comparatively keen intellect and
the strength of lion. Oh, it is grand
sport for him to lure the little know
nothings out of the cool, green depths
of the water, mnngle them with barbcd
steel, impalc them on sticks, cast them
down anywhere to gasp and die,
laughing the while to note their con-
dition, writes amber" in the Chicago
Herald.
Count nc out of such sport" if You
please! Call it necessity and will
brave myself to meet it, but while the
world swings on its way tecming with
chances for innocent laughter and fun
l will seek my sport elsewhere than in
fishing. The flavor of cruelty spoils
the cup of enjoyment for me.
won't go SO far as to say 4 man is
necessarily n brute if he loves to fish.
1t is mans delight to control and
master everything, from horse down.
His emotional nature is but little devcl-
oped as regards the gcntlcr sympathies
and the more delicate scnsibilities,
but when gentle woman, with her finer
feelings and moro tender organization,
tells me that fishing is good sport"
and she enjoys it, l cover my face with
my apron and weep aloud.
1t is not according to nature, my
dear, to see woman bait hook with
live bait, nor to see her gloat over
suffering in any form. If pain must be
inflicted, if anguish must be encoun-
tered in the world inflict it and meet it
as grim necessity, but for mercy's
sake do not call anything that causes
suffering pastinc. And in any war
fare, pray you remember the law
that governed your boyhood's sports:
slit fellow of your own size"

ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE.
An Instance OF tho proverbial Cunning of

An Instance OF tho Proverbial Cunninr OF
tho Fox.
We have often heard that animals
have intelligence, and have read mnny
instances OF what they know. Perhaps
we have had some pet of our own that
has done things which make us almost
believe it had reason instead of instinct.
The dog is generally thought to be the
most intelligent of animals, and it is
about him that we hear the greatest
number of stories. Here is an illustra-
tion' however. in which Reynard's
proycrbial cunning was more than u
match for canine sagacity. 1t is from
"Le Petit Francais," translated for
"Thc Voice" by Edyth Kirkwood:
I'm the courtyard of the Chateau dc
Montmelian, near Chnmbcry, were n
dog and fox, attached to their re-
spective kennels by chains of equal
length. A bone was placed before each
of these animals, but in such way
that 1t was just beyond their reach.
The dog pulled stupidity on his chain.
stretching his head us far as he could.
The fox after some fruithless attempts
turned his back to the tempting morscl.
then with his hind leg drew it within
reach of his teeth. The fabulists have
not deceived us in describing Master
keynard as sly fellow"

ALL ABOUT A KISS.

The gentleman himself told it to me,

him and admitted it to be true. He had
waited on her for several weeks, when
one evening he resolved to kiss her, and
told her so.
You shall do nothing of the kind"
She said with good deal of asperity.
But he was not to be frightened out
OF it. He reached for her, but she
drew away md Indignantly declared
that If he undertook any such liberties
she would scream. lie didn't believe
she would SO he grabbed up and gave
her good, rousing smack.
sure enough, she screechcd like q

young man wcll-nigh out of his senses.
Tor he heard the family rushing toward
the parlor. The young lady's mother
was the first to enter. and the father
came close behind.
What's the matter?" asked the
mother.
The young man stood by the piano,
wishing the roof would fall in and bury
everybody. The young lady had jumped
upon the sofa.

The parents went back, and the
young man kissed her until she couldn't

stopping in the store got out and stepped
behind the buggy. Placing pistol to

THE srAa.sPANeLEpeA BANNER"
1t Was First Sung by hoy on the strcots
of Baltimore.

It Was First Sung by a hoy OH tho Stroots
of Baltimore.
In Lossing's pictorial Field Book Of
the War OF 1872 it is recorded that the
Star -Spangled Banner" was first sung
in restaurant in Baltimore, next door
to the Holiday Street thcatcr, by
Charles Durang to en- asscmblnge of
patriotic defenders of the city, and
after that nightly ut the theatcr.
This statement is slightly inaccurate,
and though it is one of no great his
torical Importance it involves u matter
of sufficient interest to justify cor
rection, says 4 writer in Kate Fields
Washington. The first person to sing
that spirited song-which though given
q foreign air and COMMUNICATING u
single episode in our country history,
has filled millions of American hearts
with patriotic dcvotion-was lad of
twelve years of age, the scene of his
childish effort being neither Il restau-
rant nor II theatcr, but the open street
in front of Capt. benjamin Edcs' print
ing Office in Baltimore, the second day
after the bombardmcnt of Fort Nc
Henry. 1t is worthy of record, too,
that the person who first 'set up" the
song, printed it, and distributed it to
the citizens of Baltimore was also
boy-an apprentice of Capt. Edcs-
the whole thing being done while the
gallant captain was still out of the city
with his regiment. the Twenty
Maryland infantry, which three days
before had acted with conspicuous
bravery at the battle of North Point
The name of the apprentice boy, then
seventeen or eighteen years old, was
Samuel Sands. He lived much re-
spected citizen of Baltimore to a very
old age. The little singer was James
Lawrcnson, who afterward for nearly
seventy years, was connected with the
post Office department, and was also en-
ploycd for probably half that time as n
writer for the National Intclligcncer,
the Philadelphia Ledger and the Balti-
more Sun. He died last year, nearly
ninety years old, at his home in Balti-
more, universally loved and honored.
