Hard on the Cats.

A private English gentleman lives on the
outskirts of that sacred inclosure-the pre-
serves 1t happens that there are a good
many rats in the neighborhood of his house
so it is necessary to have cats in order to
keep them down. These cats have strange
way of disappearing one after another. 1t
is of course easy enough to replace them
but still it is very annoying to have to do SC
continually, especially to lovers of cats
The neighbors account for their removal By
unanimously ascribing it to the gameheep
er. This official seems very civil and de
cent fellow personally, so the aggrieved
housekeeper accosts him and asks him
pointblank whether he can account for the
disappearances, mot to put too fine point
upon it," as Mr.. Micawber would say
which means of course whether he has nc;
shot the animals. The gamekeeper makes
no attempt to repel the soft impeachment
but very candidly replies:
"Well, sir, you see Pm servant I have
my orders, and I've got to obey them"
'But are you aware, keeper, that this is q
penal offense?"
'Dare say it is, sir, but that's my or
ders."
who from?"
"Why, the squire, you know, of course. y
The discussion thus terminates distinct
ly in favor of the gamekeeper, because the
squire is, as before, magistrate, and by
virtue Of uniting the two functions in his
own person he can afford to defy the law
with impunity and TO have his own way.
There is, in fact, no remedy at all.-West.

Saved bx a Runawax Horse.

I remember once, while our calvary
troops were out upon a skirmish, we took
q vantage position upon a hill that rose out
of a plain From there we could see the
enemy gradually surrounding us. This, to
one of my temperament, caused extreme
nervousness When there was but small
opening remaining at one point, and that
slowly being closed, went to the COM
manding officer and suggested that he had
better order retreat while such thing
was possible. He refused to do it, saying
that he was going to stand his ground. l
knew this was sure death, and would have
readily put spurs to my horse and ridden to
safety had not my sense Of duty and pride
impelled me to remain with my officer He
was sitting on his horse calmly taking in
the situation when | came to him a second
time to make the suggestion.
But ] did not have to speak. An all
wise Providence did my work for me in a
manner that prevented argument The
bullets were flying about thick and fast,
and Just us was about to address the Off
Ger stray one struck him in the wrist of
the hand which held the reins The ball
shattered the bone, and the reins dropped
from the helpless hand. Before the officer
could recover the reins with his other hand
the horse bolted, and strangely started on
a dead run for the one place which offered a
way of escape. 1t was my duty to follow
the officer, and it was the most cheerful
duty found during the war. / spurred my
horse and soon was at his heels. We got
away all right, but the company of cavalry
men on the hill We're, with few exceptions,
captured and held as prisoners of war. That
is how runaway horse saved my life

SACRAMENTO, June 25.-Director Bar
wick OF the California weather service
bureau, in his report for the week end
ing June 25th summarizes as follows:
As compared with the normal temper
ature there was heat deficiency OF
about degrees over the entire state.
This continued heat deficiency has re-
tarded the ripening OF fruit and grain,
thereby preventing harvesting from
being rushed, as the grain Is not
ripening as fast rs 1t can be cut. What
has been reaped and threehed by the
comb bined harvesters shows very de-
cided surprise to the grain growers. as
the yield is beyond their expectations,
both in quality and quantity. The total
yield OF the state will be but a small
percentage below the usual average.
The fruit prospects are most excellent
for an abundant yield OF all varieties. as
there have been no north winds what
sver, as is usually the case in June.
This is very favorable to the fruit indus
tries OF the state.
Beans have suffered somewhat from
high winds in Ventura and Santa Bar
bara counties.
The sugar beet crop in San Bernardo
no, Monterey, Salinas and Alameda
counties is doing finely and showing q
good percentage of sugar.

MUST STAND TRIAL.

Tho suprsma oourt Deo'des Against
BNwker Leonard.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 25 - The supreme
court decided today that ex-Manager w.
l.. Leonard OF the Bank OF Santa Clara
must stand trial on second
charge OF embsszlement. The ac-
ton OF the lower court sustaining
a demurrer to the indictment Was re-
versed. 1t was urged on the demurrer
that, even admitting the falsity OF cer-
tam entries made by Leonard in the
books OF the bank, there wss no evidsnce
OF the intent and ability to defraud, and
therefore no crime. The supreme conrt
says:
''fhe indictment clearly shows that
no honest man guided the pen that
msdo ths entries They were made
throu.. no mistake OF fact; they were
not only false, crimnally false. bnt
they were IN sde with intent to
defraud. IL is not necessary to set out
how these entries could have resulted
in deireuding the bank that is matter
Of evidence. We think the indictment
sufficient to place him on his trial"

A Dutch Pirate.

Brasiliano, the Dutchman expelled from
Brazil az the Portuguese invasion, being
anxious to get on, saw no way so likely to
do it as by turning pirate,' in which line he
soon distinguished himself "He feared
nothing, avoided no danger and always
went upon the most difficult enterprises" +"
Vessel after vessel did Brasiliano and his
friends take, regularly returning to Port
Royal to So qslnder away their gold in every
kind Of debauchery. On sea or on land
"nothing could Withstand the valor of these
desperatioes." They shrank from no en-
counter at any odds, and their victories
were generally followed by ''horrid cruel
ties, with which they tortured the poor
Spaniards after II manner shocking to re-
late,n partly in order to get more money;
partly, it seems, in mere wantonness of
fury.
Whatever they got was, however, spent
in very short time, the pirates being
quickly reduced to beggary. ''They have
been known to spend 2,000 or 5000 pieces of
eight in one night On these occasions
wine literally flowed down the streets. The
successful buccaneers insisted upon every
one partaking of their hospitality. At
other times they showered the beverage
about the streets, wetting the clothes of
passersby, which seemed to them an lex
cel!ent diversion" Some persons objected
doubtless, but on the whole it was consid-
cred good for trade. When poverty on one
occasion drove Brasiliano to sea again, he,
like Bartholomew, was captured while
calmly viewing the fort" Of Campeacby.
The governor determined to hang him and
his crew, but their captain had the address
to write letter, as from other pirates,
threatening horrid cruelties to any Of the
Spanish nation who should ever fall into
their hands, and this letter had the desired
effect, SO well known were both the cour-
age and cruelty of tie pirate community

Two big white tents are pitched with
in 200 feet Of each other on the big lot
on the northeast corner OF Twelfth and
Grove atreets, Gays the Kansas City Star,
and two rival colored revivalists are to
hold forth there every night this week.
The tent on the south side Of the lot
belongs to the Methodists and the one
on the north to the Baptists. While
one preacher is bowed in silent prayer
the other tent is ringing with the shout
OF song; the audience goes from one
tent to the other and back again, aud,
altogether, the block is lively place
after nightfall.
DR.. Washington, an unctuous mulatto
from Texas, who 'got 'ligion in Kahn
tucky rs yeahs ago." holds forth at the
Methodist tent and breaches and old
fashioned, red hot hell. AS he warmed
20 his subject last night he jumped
down from the platform and walked up
and down the central aisle betw sen the
wooden seats "roasting" his audience,
which was more than half made up OF
white people, drawn by idle curiosity.
"You ole scoun' res." he said you
black dogs an you po' white dogs, who
let de ole devil sit sstraddle OF youah
necks, an you not have gperet 'nough
10 look up an' make i'm tumble. You
scum o. de earth, you POI raecsls, yon
rathah serve de devil few yeahs dea
have God forever"
He walked up and down the aisle, and
as he pointed TO first one and then
another and continued to blackguard, !,
the crowd would laugh and the exhorter
would wipe his forehead with his hand
kerchief and then call Tor victims Tor the
mourners' bench.
''Ihe Rev. Gardner, who was raised
in Kentucky and lives iii Nebraeka,"
was the way the preacher at the Baptist
tent WAS Introduced. lie WAS as black
as night and ooked as though he mig ht
just have left the deibei at!ona OF the
Lime Kiln club. His tent was large;
and was better filled than the other
He took as his subject the fact that
there is God--that God IL God
was the way he expressed it-and
he told the story OF pEaroah and the
plague TO show Gcd's power He
worked himself almost INTO frenzy and
then broke into sing cong voice, with a
roar at the end OF eacn sentence. There
was a strange earnestness ae he leaned
out from the rude pulpit and shouted
Finally he ended sentences with the
line OF a song, which the people took up
and re-echoed:
De good old shin Of III n.
drory, hellslujah, gl,ry. glo y.
She have carried many II thousand.
Glory, glory.
Do you think she will b, here?
Hallelujah, glory ory.
The sermon continuei and Brother
Gardner told OF Brother Paul and

the song about the Good, O.d Time Re-

said there was large sum of money due

METHOD OF SHAKING HANDS.
Tho Genuine Hand Clasp Should BE an
Honest, Pleasant Grasp.


Eoncst, Pleasant Grasp.
Almost svery one has an individual and
original method of shaking hands, unless
they are followers of frshion and have
adopted tla pump handle shake, which was
originated "Dy the Prince of Wales when
that royal parsonage was suffering from a
boil under the arm, which necessitated the
awkward movement.
There is the rough but kindly disposed
individual who takes your poor paddy with
grip Of iron, and in the desire to show
good will and friendship almost wrenches
the fingers off and leaves the mark of sun
dry ring indentations on the crushed digits.
This painful mode, though trying to the
last degree, is preferable to that mean, su-
percilous and patronizing method employ
ed by individuals who are of the ''holier
than thou" order
This shake, or rather contact, only con-
sists in offering the very tips of the fingers,
accompanied by an air of condescension
that makes you long to forget your breed
ing and pull your hand away. There is no
heart in such q greeting. 1t means selfish
ness, it proclaims personal vanity, and it is
quite as repellent as the frosty nod that
some people consider bow.
The cold and clammy handshake is one
that once met with leaves the impression
that snake has reposed for moment in
your palm. The fingers, lifeless as those
of marble image, writhe into your clasp,
and a chilly sensation in the region of your
spine warns you that the human monster
has laid his claws upon you. 1t is never
well to trust that handshaker
An honest, pleasant grasp-a holding of
hands for brief space of time--a sense Of
warmth, sympathy and good fellowship, is
what the genuine handclasp ought to in
duce, but how MANY of this sort do you
meet in the great world so full Of artiiciali-
ty and apricee--Philadelph Times.
