Kennedy Got There.

Humane Agent Kennedy spends his
whole time looking up cases of cruelty
to animals. Tie boys take particular
delight in drawing Kennedy off upon
all sorts of wrong scents. 1t is only one
pointer in hundred not coming out of
his own cunning which pans out any
thing. Relying on his own instincts,
Kennedy went to the northern part Of
the city yesterday morning about 2
O'Clock, to visit a cock fight. He found
the gang all right, but when he made
his raid. simply and alone, he met with
some difficulties. First, the human
game all fled, leaving Kennedy nothing
but the "roosters." He froze to the
feathered game. and then the boys
came back and piled on and took the
bag of cocks away from him. Kennedy
is plucky fellow, but he don't pre-
tend to be able to fight the whole en-
pire. So he had to go home yesterday
morning with the reflection that virtue
is its own reward.
