AS Mime. de Cuisine rightly said, the cats
great difference from. and, according to
her sentiments, superiority to, the dog lies
i'll her calm insistence on selection which
invariably accompanies her apparent do

nizes without question the man who has
paid for, feeds and on occasion kicks him
with all the easy familiarity OF ownership.
He follows that man undoubting and un.

for an oath.
But the cat is n creature of n very differ

oilers of reward. She absolutely declines

be designed To have. You may be the

"The most ridiculous weapon known to
modern warfare is the bayonet." said Colo
mel Michael Galloway. "Civilians seem
to suppose that the bayonet plays an i'm
portant part in all battles-that the tide is
invariably turned by this romantic, hump
shouldered frog sticker. Now as n matter
of fact you could bury in ten acre lot all
the men who have been killed with the
bayonet during the past century, and the
graves would not be crowded either The

or go for their side arms. They realize
that the bayonct is but dress parade

Battles are now fought with bullets in

The Olymninn Games.

The sacred games of Olympia were in
stituted nearly seven centuries before
Christ, and an oath, confirmed by sacrifice
was imposed on the athletes before they
entered the lists, binding them to play fair
and take no fraudulent advantage over
the other competitors.
reference to these national festivals of
ancient Greece calls to mind their extraor-
binary duration. There is no modern par
allel to them in that respect. We reckon
our derby, our university boat race our
Elton and Harrow cricket match to be ven
cradle institutions, but they are very
ephemercl observances, in sooth, COM
pared with, say, the Isthman games,
which, founded about B. c. $50, still con
stituted three centuries and n half later n
sufficiently important anniversary for Fla
minus to select it rs the occasion for pro-
claiming the liberty of Greece in b. c. 100,
and two centuries and half later still for
Nero to repeat the proclamation in 4. d.
%. Such permanence puts to shame the
life of dynasty, and there is certainly no
important event in our sporting world
which derives its origin from the year 1900
Eut there is another remarkable feature
about these Observation-Disclosures, the I'M
changing character of the performance en-
acted at them. Assuming the era of Homer

SALEM.
How the News Of CIeveland's
Election Was Received.

Tuesday night after the polls closed
tho first election news received in
Salem was the telegram from Bonsack's.
Shortly before Z o'clock the prominent
members OF the Cleveland and Steven.
son Anti-Force Bill Club, of Salem,
assembled in the board of trade rooms
over Snead & Saunders drug store.
where they received the returns from
Salem precinct. An hour or so passed
and the kilograms from other parts OF
the county and from other States began
to pour in.
These were first read by Col. A. M.
Bowman or Prof. o. L. Stcarnes or Capt.
M. nj. Rogers to the enthusiastic nem-
hers of the club assembled in the room,
after which Secretary ID. G.. Armstrong
stepped on the balcony in front and in
n clear, loud voice read the returns to
hundreds OF Democrats patiently wait
ing in the street below, who would en-
phasire their appoval with cheers. min
gled with the beating of n bass drum.
AS the night wore away, Che crowd on
Main street grew beautifully less, and
by midnight only comparative few re-
msined to receive the news in the board
OF trade rooms, which an hour or two
afterwards were empty.
Wednesday morning every Democrat
was smiling, whilst there were but few
white Republicans to be seen. BY 10
o'clock the three last precincts in tho
county had been heard from, and the
following is the vote as given to tho re-
porter by Capt. M. M. Rogers, county

The Result of a Curious Rhode Island

There Is an old Rhode Island superstition
of the vampire of life aud death. 1t is to
the effect that after eonsumptives die menu
