40 I.tsE..LIas Declsl.a

The long unsettled question Q!
whether q man MAY ire boot,acLs at or
shoot that enemy Of the nocturnal re-
pose-the other mans cat--has been
settled against the cat by jury in the
quarter sessions court before Judge
Finletter
The case was that Of Edward y
O'Neill, dentist, charged with cruelty
to animals, in shooting the family cat
Of his neighbor, Louis 3 FredericEs.
Mr.. Fredericks, the prosecutor, alleged
that O'Neiil wounded the animal and
left il TO die On the other hand il was
claimed that the car mad annoyed
O'NeiiI by treapa>slug on MS lawn al
night, where it was wont 10 move the
vocal air with bursts Of song Instead
OF the traditional bootjack O'Neill got
MS gun and killed it outright, the cat
surrendering the whole nine ghosts at
once. In charging the jury the judge
said:
This bill of indictment charges the de-
PENDANT with unlawfully and cruelty i'll
treating and abusing an animal called q
cat. have only TO say, gentlemen, that
a citizen has a right TO kin an animal of
this kind if it trespasses on his premises.
Perhaps there is no domestic animal that
makes more trouble in the neighborhOod
than a cat. If this cat was trespasssing
on this mans place be had a right TO
kill it, and the only question for you to
determine is whether he suot the cat be-
cause It was trespaSSing upon his prem
ises or whether he shot it for the purpose
Of lnJurlng 1t. If he shot to kill the cat.
and for that reason alone, then you
ought to acquit him. If ne shot it not
for the purpose of Kidding himself Of
what seemed to him nuisance, then ne
ought to be convicted. In other words
he has a right to kill cat for trespass,
ing but has no right to injure it merely
for the purpose Of giving II pain or any
thing OF that kind
The jury rendered verdict of not
guilty Philadelphia Record.

Good and bad seeds often have the same
appearance. Any one can tell worth

a seed must be determined by it's growth.
This makes its quality worth considering.

The question is. often asked, Why do
cyclones 'whirlwinds" and tornadoes
all persist in the polar whirl from right
to lcftr Astronomical spectators have
supposed that all the planets once ex.
listed as rings of thinly scattered matter
around the sun, and that these rings
were annular segregations from vague,
Iirregularly scattered mass that turned
one way in spiral courses, thus deter
mining the direction in which the rings
irevolved, and all the rest from this took
the same course.
But you say, why did the nebula

| speaking of strange bets on an cleo.
ltion,n said Colonel Joe Rucker, Of Col.
orado, "the one that takes the ribbon
over any have ever seen mentioned
was bet, lost and paid by an enthusiasts
tic Greenbacker many years ago. One
iof these enthusiasts at that time, whose
view of the political situation was seen
through the roseate hued spectacies of a
reform organ, was certain that man
by the name of Brown would be elected
governor of Missouri, and bet every
thing he had except the clothing on his
back and a young wife. Either his af-
lection for his wife or his knowledge of
law prevented his making wager of
her, SO as last bet he wagered his serv-
ices for year against $500.
"Of course he lost, and borrowing n
few dollars from friend he sent his
wife back to her folks in Missouri
while he presented himself to the saloon
keeper in Denver with whom he had
made the bet The latter, more rs a
joke than anything else, grubstaked
him and sent him out to prospect. The
first month small find rewarded his
lahors, and cupidity then caused the sa-
loon keeper to insist on the payment of
the wager in full. To curtail the nara
tive, he carried ont his wager Of years
service scrupulously and located two
more mines, from which the winner,
though now wealthy, is still drawing
dividends. Upon the fulfillment of his
obligation he sent for his wife, and is
now employed by one of the street car
companies of Denver at about fifty dol
lars a month, and will probably never
get above that figure. st. Louis Globe
