A Boys Essay on Dogs and Cats

I'd rather have dog than q
cat any day. Dogs can race cats,
they can race other dogs. they can
race boys or anything. Nobody
amt scared of a cat. A mouse is;
bnt not if it amt somewheres that
it can't get out of, or rat either.
A dog can make cat dead if he
bites her enough. When he comes
in the yard he can make her tail
look like Christmas tree. He can
make her fix her back like camel.
i amt afraid of thieves; but
thieves are afraid OF dogs. If a thief
comes where a dog can get him,
he'll run like fun; but the dog
won't run. A dog can watch house
better than policeman. He won't
let the man that owns it come in
the back yard in the middle of the
night, but a cat would. If a man
or any other thief was to sneak in,
would cat care? She'd go over the
fence quick. That's whatI A dog
knows when you're home from
school. He amt asleep. then. He
has fun with old hats if you give.
him one. You've got to pay
for keeping him, but you don't a
cat,-because dogs some good and
a cat amt. I'd rather have a dog.

The judge fairly gasped.

The historic episode of the slip
ping of piece of ice down the
neck of the Prince of Wales by
the Jersey Lilly is recalled by an
incident at Pugilist Corbett's re-
cent appearance before Kanass
City audience. The champion was
called on for a speech, and while
he was bowling his thanks for the
honor, "a pretty young lady in
the gallery" leaned over and
poured a handful of coru down the
back of his neck. Corbett," the
report relates, 0glanoed up,
blushad like a schools=girl, and
amid the roars of his auditors,
stepped down from the platfrom.

Colonel Calhoun Caughman.

Washington, n. c., Evening News.
I met in the lobby of the
Metropolitan hotel last night a
courtly young southerner, who
cheerily chatted with number of
friends. 1t was the Hon. Calhoun
Caughman, of South Carolina.
He is near relative of John @.
Calhoun and married a grand
niece of Robert Y. Hayne, whose
debate with Webster placed him
in the foremost rank of American
orators. Colonel Caughman is
himself eloquent, and his style of
oratory is tosa degree dramatic
and not uaSke that Of William
C. Preston. His voice is a natu-
raj tenor and possesses a captivat-
ing melody

A Hairbreadth Escape.

A bad accident which was one
of the narrowest escapes from
instant death possible, happened
at Vandemore, Plamice county,
N. c., on Saturday. AS Mr..
Morrissey's son, Coolidge, about
15 years of age, was cutting wood,
his little brother ran under the
axe as it was descending and re-
ceiyed the blow on the top of his
head. The axe glanced and cut
out.a piece Of the skull bone one
and ore half inches square so that
pulsation of the brain could be
discerned. DR.. G.. S. Attmore, of
Stonewell, attended to the wound.
The piece of bone was left out
but the cut portion of the scalp
was placed in position again and
three days after the accident DR..
Attmore pronounced his little
patient i'll a fair way to per fec
recovery, his youthfulness being
in favor of such a result.

A late issue OF the Washington
Post gives some truthful pictures
of the average Office seeker in that
city.
"There he goes," said the clerk
at 4he Natioual as one of the green
cars trundled, by. "See that man
near the gripP Dispute his COM
mon clothes he has rather a distin-
guished air, hasn't he? Well, he is
a gripman, too, and is probably
taking a day off, or else is going
to some other part of the line to
meet his car. I have known him
four years, and always liked him.
He is an example of what happens
to men who come to Washington
seeking Office. I first met him in
the early part of March, 1889.
President Harrison had been sworn
in, and the city was filled with
those who wanted pap. This man
was from the West. He stopped
with us. His coat was of the
Prince Albert cut and made of the
finest diagonal. His trousers were
light in color, and he wore tan
gloves. The suit could not have
cost less than $125. He lad money
and spent it like water.
He wanted one of the larger con-
sulates, and had valise full of
letters. He didn't get it, of course,
and gradually became shabbier
and shabbier. L saw him late in
the summer, wearing a battered
straw hat, and his lines had evil
dently been cast in hard places.
Then I saw him swinging to the
car grip. He must be faithful to
his work, because he has held the
job ever since. He is a great deal
better than many of those who
come upon like errand, as we'll
as more fortunate. Generally when
they go broke they put in a month
or two holding up such friends as
come to town, and when these play
out they drift into even more rep
rehensible ways of making a. liv-
ing. They are generally ashamed
to go home, you see. Not one of
them ever leaves his town without
assuring all of his acquaintances
that he has a dead sure thing, and
they are afraid of endless jeering
if they return.
ait is dreadful thing" said a
Georgian yesterday, as he aimed
at a cuspidor in the hotel corridor
and missed tia foot, "to think
how little it takes to dash a fel-
lows hopes 10 earth when the frui-
tion of his desires depends upon
the temper of one man who holds
position like that which Presi-
dent Cleveland fills 30 completely.

well. There may be clot of un-

thing to undergo again I would

How the Case Stood.

Detroit Free Press.
The prisoner at the bar was
charged with assault and battery
by his wife. She was a little
woman, but wiry and energetic.
He was a strapping big fellow
and on him the judge frowned
fiercely.
$780," said the court, "your have
been assaulting your wife?"
"Yes yer honor" admitted the
prisoner doggedly.
"Well, you ought to be ashamed
of yourself"
Il am, yer honor"
fThe very idea, sir, of a great
big fellow like you whipping a
little woman like that!"
The little women flushed up,
but kept still, with her eyes fixed
on her husband expectantly.
"I did't whip her, yer honor"
"Didn't whip herr" exclaimed
the Judge. "Don't Llie to me, sir.
You did whip her"
Again the little woman turned
her eyes on her husband.
"Beg yer pardon, yer honor, but
I didn't whip her. She licked me
in about three minntes, and that's
why I'm ashamed of myself, yer
honor"
The judge fairly gasped.
"That's right, yer ,houor," put
in the little woman. 'Henry gets
ugly sometimes, but he won't lie
when I'm watching him."
The judge took a good long
look at both of them and dismissed
the case.

fairest pictures that hope can in
