boy. In the Garden City family there
are several boys, not bad boys but just
full of mischief as most boys are. The
voungestsof the family, boy about 9
years of age, got into some trouble the
,ther day for which his mother was
ahout to Lunish him. The boy did not
want to be punished and he ran. The
mother chased him out of doors and
the boy went under the hols at a con-
venient opening. 1t was almost noon
and the mother concluded to postpone
further attempt to punish the youth until
i father would arrive
The father came presently and the
m )ther related her experience and re-
quested the father to bring the boy from
under the house and punish him.
After looking after several little mat
ters the father started after the boy. He
did not call the young hopeful, but start
ed uLder the house after him.
He had hardly gotten his head into the
opening in the foundation, when he was
greeted with the voice of the boy, say
ing:
"Hello, Pa. sho run you under tho
house, too. did she?"
The boy WAS not punished, and the
| father backed out and left him to take
his own time in getting out from under
| the dwelling.

ATTENTION was called in this paper
early in the campaign to the probability
that Senator John Sherman would not be
of any service to the Ohio Republicans
in this campaign. He has not only not
aided his party, but he has perhaps done
it irreparable damage by publishing a
book, which sets everybody by the ears.
John Sherman has "stood in" with the
Ohio Democracy for many years, allow
ing them to elect one senator with the
understanding that he should be allowed
to retain the other seat himself He is
playing the same old game this year, ex-
cept that instead of being passive as
sistant of the Democracy he has become
an active one by publishing his book.

almost a riot resulting from the coli
lision between her friends and the
toughs who insulted her. We hear of
'longshoremcn fighting unchecked. of an
old man openly robbed by young hood
lums. of a woman having her pocket
book snatched just at the Park entrance.
All accounts agree that towards even
Ing there were as many drunken men as
usual. or rather more. upon the streets.
They had gone out of town for their
beer and took care to get a full load
before starting for home. None of
them were arrested. for the police were
engaged In watching the New York
saloons, the object of the Roosevelt
crusade not being the protection of the
public or the checking of drunkenness
or disorder, but simply the literal en-
forcement of an obsolete law.
The 'sworld' took the trouble of ascer-
tanning how the law was enforced in the
other Twenty-Five cities of New York
State. 1t found that New York City was
the solitary dry spot. In five cities the
barrooms were opened just as on week
days. Anyone who is acquainted with
the country knows that liquor is freely
sold behind closed front doors in every
village in New York. In short, it is a
matter of certainty that in all that
vas State, the only place yesterday
where a mans reasonable desires could
not be gratifed was the great u~p-to-date
cosmopolitan city, which we all boast
of as the focus of American freedom
and civilization.
Yet the letter of the law is the same
everywhere.
But there is only one Roosevelt. New
York is the only place that a marrow and
oppressive party has placed under the
rule of a conceited, narrow and inso-
lent prig, who was kicked out of poll
tics by the people in 1886 by over 10000
votes.

Squirrel, the Negro who attacked a six
year old girl, is still at large. The search
for him was given up Saturday, but was
renewed with energy in the evening, when
it was learned that he was seen that
afternoon at Forest Grove, where he en-
tered the house of Ephraim PaEcoast and
carried off a quantity of edibles. Although
an additional reward Of 5000 was offered
today the angry crowd seemed to be bent
on vengeance. Last night nearly every
Negro shanty had been explored.
The Township Committee has called a
mass meeting for Monday noon to devise
some way to capture Squirrel. No move
has been made to. secure his safety;
their willingness and a large number
their intention to pull the rope which
will yank him into eternity the moment
he Is captured.
