The WhiSperer.

These is a butcher in Waco who
has formed the habit OF blunt
speaking, aud of "getting there" In
a conversational way by the very
shortest route. The other day a
dainty miss of some steen summers,
and the same number of falls,
winters and springs, tripped alrlly
into the shop of this butcher and
gurgled out: "Gime me dimes
worth of wiener wurst." "Haven't
got no wiener wurst," said the
butcher, bluntly and ungrammatl-
cally. "What. you haven't got
any wiener wurst?" "No, we
haven't" "Well, why haven't you
got soy?" "Because we're out OF
CUTS" Exit dainty miss.

There are tro general classes of
people-those who think every
thing they have is better than the
possessions of anybody else, and
those who think the possessions of
other people are always better than
their own. A good illustration of
the early outcroppings OF one OF
these phases of human nature was
furnished by 3.year-old Bob the
other day. A friend who was
owner of litter of puppies told
Bob he could have one. He im-
mediately chose a black one, because
it was the largest. The owner
wanted to keep that one, 80 BOB
had to be satisfe with a spotted
one which was good deal smaller.
He was good deal put out at first,
but finally he started home with his
new treasure and rapidly returning
good humor. After carrying the
puppy little ways he set it down
and tried to get it to follow.
"Tum along, little fellow" he said
lovingly, "you's mos as big as ze
back one" He proceeded some
distance further, the little mans
affection increasing in proportion to
the distance travelled. Then the
puppy got tired and Bob took it up
in his arms, saying: "You pity
little wa'cal, you's as big as re
back one" After getting his
treasure home and feeding and
romping with him awhile Bob
caressed him tenderly and said:
"Dod bless you's little soul, you's
biggerin ~ back one."

Queer Cause for Divorce.

IN compete with South Dakota and with
Chicago in the divorce industry A recent
case before the courts of that State Woulu
seem TO show that it is. A bride of only
two months standing complained to the
learned Judge that her liege lord, VINO a.
the altar had promised to love and cherlsn
her SO long as they both should Ave' hau
failed to live up to his obligations accord
ing to her idea of what husband shoulu
be to his wife. To be more specific, he
had refused to scratch her back on one
occasion when she needed relief. The.eourt
took the brides view of the case and the
marital knot was cut asunder.
The case is unique in divorce annals,
and for that reason deserves the speclai
attention of those who are aSltating loI
uniform marriage and divorce laws. Shall
the Wisconsin PRECEDENT be recognized ana
apopted as legal ground for divorce in the
code which will finally be operative all
over the country? While the reason for
which this divorce was granted seems at
first sight a frivolous one, little thought
will show that the husband was heartless
man. The cuticular. irritation Of which
the wife complained was no doubt located
in that particular area of the back unreach-
able by arms of moderate length, and she
was perfectly right in seeking relief at her
husbands hands That man showed he
had no right to have wife.

THE CITIZEN
BUFFALOES IN ENGLAND.
Specimens Of the Few Survivors
Shipped Across the Atlantic
The Experiment of Breeding the Animals
in English Parks Considered by
Britons as Very Likely to
Prove Unsuccessful.

Fifty, or even half that number OF
years ago, the possibility of the ''buf-
her'' Of the American plains becoming
extinct was not SO much as dreamed
Of, says the st. James Budget. For
ages thew had wandered in countless
herds on the plains on the eastern side
of the Rocky mountains, providing the
red Indian with an apparently mex
haustible supply Of meat. Thousands
were killed for their tongues and the
steak cut out of the hump-the most
delicate part The bisons, from which
the early "voyagers" and the fur
traders obtained their 'pemmican,
did not suffer from the demands made
upon their numbers by the Indians;
but the white hunter, with his ever
improving firearms, did the work OF
destruction. Where once the herds
were so numerous that it was the prae-
tice to drive them gradually to the
edge of a precipice and there frfghten
them over none can be found. At last
the United States government awoke
TO the fact that America was upon the
point of losing the bison. The agents
of the Smithsonian institute had a diff
fculty in procuring some specimens
which were required The result was
that small herd of about forty Is now
strictly preserved in the Yellowstone
park. But one or two wander away
most wears and are soon killed when
once outside the protected territory;
the security of the herd is consequent
" by no means assured. The news,
L. ta,. rNf Nahr-o ClyQ
buffaloes have been imported to this
country, having been obtained for the
purpose of being turned down in some
of our parks, will be welcomed by our
naturalists.
It is, unfortunately, very questionable
if the experiment of keeping and
breeding the grand beasts in our Eng
lish parks will be attended with any
success. The bison on its native plains
is accustomed to great heat in summer
and extreme cold in winter. But, for
all that, the climate is constant one,
and the change of the variability, the
fog and the damp of this country will
be great Indeed, when we look at the
condition of the bison's European re-
1ation, the aurochs, we may well doubt
II the genus bison will long remain an
inhabitant of the earth. 1t may be
many years before we quite lose it, for
representatives will probably linger
for a comparatively long period pre-
served in parks, just as the ancient
white British cattle linger now. But,
as in the case of the latter, the want
of fresh blood and the consequent
close interbreeding will tell in time
and result in constantly diminishing
fertility, until in the course of years
the last representative of the race will
die and the world know them no more.
We may safely say the extinction will
not happen in our own time, or even in
| that of the next few generations; but
| it's to be feared that come it surely

ONLY A TRAMP.
But There Were Tears, and Bitter Ones,
Shed for Him.

But There Were Tears, and Bitter ones
Shed for Him.
''It's only one of them pesky tramps,
Bill" said brakeman to his compan-
ion, as the lights from two lanterns fell
on the form of a man mangled as only
a railroad train can mangle. II sup
pose we will have to get him into the
caboose and leave him at the station. +"
They gathered up the remains as
best they could, says the New York
Recorder, and, after getting them
aboard the train, gave the signal to go
ahead.
Yes, he was only a tramp. The
brakeman addressed as Bill had seen
the man fall between two cars while
stepping from one to another. The
train had been stopped, and the two
railroaders went back to see what
damage had been done. In the ca
boose they made a search of the dead
mans clothes. They didn't find much;
no money, not even knife. In the in
side pocket of the ragged vest was a
greasy-1ooking envelope. In taking
out the letter tiny band of gold fell
to the floor. While one picked up the
ring the other read the letter. 1t had
been well fingered, and there were un-
mistakable spots that only tears could
have caused. The handwriting was a
woman's, and read as follows:
"Dear Jim: Mary is dead, and in
her last words she inquired for papa.
She missed you so much, and never
seemed to be well after you went. /
am sorry, Jim, for what said that
night, and if you will come back l
will never complain and worry you
any more. 1 send you Mary's ring;
you remember when you got it for her.
Please come back to your wife"
That was all. The wife had heard
in some way where her husband was
and had sent him the letter. 1t oc-
CURED to one of the brakemen to look
at the postmark, and with difficulty it
was seen that it was month old, and
that it was that of the very place at
which they had decided to leave the
dead body.
Jim must have met with misfortune,
and was stealing his way home, which
he reached only to be carried out and
laid beside little Mary.

The Premium Snake Story for 1898.


Mr.. Mike Scully, of Morris, be snake
charmer who has recently gained consider
able notoriety by his grand aggregation
of snakes and alligators and because OF his
numerous snake-bites, Is now one snake
short.
Last Thursday he put a good sized rat
into the apartment where he kept one OF
his big Florida rattlesnakes. The snake,
which was nearly six feet long, swallowed
the rat readily enough, and for the time
all seemed over with Mr.. Rat. But not
so. for in a few minutes the plueky rodent
had gnawed off some of the snakes ribs
about IA inches from its head and eaten a
hole through its beautiful skin and was
again at liberty.
Then the rat set out to gnaw through
the thin board which sur lunded the rat
tiers quarters No doubt when this had
baen accomplished and the rat had lodged
through the apera ure, it was greatly aston
isned to find that it had Jumped ont o.
the frying-pan into the fire, for it had
only passed into another apartment where
we're a number of genuine and very lively
Tioga- county rattlcsnakes.
One of these snakes struck the rat, anC
it died from the poison in very short order
The rat certainly deserved to live to
good old age for its pluck
This incident is well authenticated, anc
those scoffng Bradford county editors arr
warned not to make any light remarks
about this story. or Mike Sculley may
dnmp his whole den Of snakes over th'
line into their county.

horse pond near the town, dismount
and struggle through the mud and

companied by brass band and all the

of King John, who visited the town in
1910, The roads were very bad and
some of his baggage wagons had to be
left in the mire. On his arrival he in
quired who was responsible for the
condition of the roads, and learning
that the bailiffs were to blame ordered
them to be seized and dragged through
the nearest pond.
