A POOR PLAN.

A. Editor SeIzes wild Animal for a
Debt
It isa nOtol rious fact that itinerant circus
companies pay very poorly, and that the man
who does not get his money from them in
advance is moi very likely to get it at all.
Major Bang, the Rooster, published in
Btrks county, has suffered good deal from
Il csc concerns and when Van Ambursh's
q rcus tried to slip off few years ago without
citing its adj vertising bill, he called upon
the sheriff and got him to attach the Bengal
tiger for the debt. The tiger was brought in
it, cage and placed in the composing room
| where 1t consm ned fifteen dollars worth of
meat in two day ys-the Majors bill was only
twelve dollars and scratched one trouser leg
off Of the reporter, who was standing in front
Of the cage stirring the animal with a broom
On the third day the bottom fell out of the
cage and as the tiger seemed to want to roam
around and inquire into things, the whole
70 zee of compositors all at once felt as if they
Ought to go suddenly down stairs and give the
aloimal a chance. With that mysterious in
| stinct which distinguishes dumb animals,
4 and which goes far to prove that they have
souls, the tiger went at once for the door of
tho Majors sanctum and it broke in Just as
Bang was in the middle of tearing editorial
upon Anarchists" The Major, however, did
not hesitate to knock OFF, II stopped at once
and emerged with fine, airy grace through
the window, bringing the sash with him and
tben he climbed up the water.spout to the
roof, where he sat until hook and ladder
company came and took him of. The Rooster
did not issue for a week for although the
| Major bombarded the tiger with shot guns
pointed through the windows and although
the fire engines squirted hot water at him, the
brute got along very comfortably until Satur
day night, when he tried to swallow COM
posing stick and choked to death. When
they entered the room they found that the
animal had upset all the type and had soaked
himself in ink and then rubbed over nearly
every square inch of the floor, while the
NJ ljors leader on Anarchists was saturated
with water and perforated with shot holes
After this circus ad yertisements in The
Rooster will be paid for in advance
