sha ped heartless brute to the faithful and
intelligent horse bat the following from
the New York Advertiser of last week, is
sample of q specimen of raan-bruto

F. Church, of No, 1854 West Sixty y-eighth
street, appealed to HIM not to be SO 6ra-
tal to tho horse. Williams told her to
mind her own business and continued TO
beat the animal. Mrs. Church told Pat
rolman Henry Ruppart who arrested VIII
i;.ms. The latter admitted that the horse
ate very little. He said the animal had
nothing to eat all day. An agent Tor the
Society for tho Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, shot the horse"

And then there's the story that sgd B.
! Ellis says that George Brown told him.
! Coming second hand that way of course it
/ is gospel truth. Ellis is the shoe man and
! Brown is on the road for rubber-house.
Both are Eastern men, but neither is I'M
known on this coast. Ellis told the story
the last time he was out here and then re-
told it to the Chicago Times Herald man,
who put it into cold type about as it is told
in the succeeding words. But down on
Sansome street they say the story is still
fresh in this City. Ellis words are:
"a party of four drummeIs were en- route
to Rockford, ILL.,. and in the course of the
game got to telling anecdotes and stories
on the road for a large rubber-house, had
this one to tell of his friend Mac Symonds,
who is in the sugar business. 1t seems
Mac had once aspired to be brakeman
and sought employment upon the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy Railroad and be-
tween Aurora and Turner-but let George
tell it in his own way: Mac Symonds'
first day on local freight as
brakeman was corker. Talk about
your 'greenies. They had hardly
got out Of sight of Aurora before
the engineer had Mac on top with pail
of water and a broom putting out the
sparks as they lii on the top of the cars.
But the climax was reached Wnen tney got

frogs were needed to put it on and the
conductor told Mac to go back to the way
car and get them. 1t now happened the
waycar stood near small creek, and when
Mac did not show up in few minutes the
conductor went back to see what he was
doing. When he got back he saw Mac
running up and down the bank of the
creek with long stick in mis- hand, every
now and then giving it jab into the
water. When the conductor got near
enough be called out:
"'What are you doing?'
"'Well. said Mac, you told me to get
you couple of frogs, and that was what I
was trying to do
Explanations followed, and when Mac
got back to Aurora he resigned"

ua Grew Foo CareIess.

The commercial travellers have MONTH
magazine of their own that is printed in
New York. Recently this journal pub
lished good story about Western
drummer who is famous for his reminis-y
cences Of course, the name was sup
dressed, but the commercial men who read
it will have no difficulty in identifying its
hero. 1t happened in Nevada town,
where the drummer had formed the ac-
ouaintance of young lady and he neigh
bors had commenced to talk about Sadie
Dash's beau"
One day a telegram was brought to the
drummer while he was at the house of his
ladv-love. He was tarrying in the town
awaiting orders from 1.-The house, The
girl answered the ring of the messenger
and re-entered the parlor holding aloft the
dun-colored missive.
"Do YOU really want it?p she queried,
half playfully. Perhaps it contains dread
full news.
"Guess not, my dear. It's just line
from the boss. Open it and tell me which
way he wants me to go" yawned the
drummer, as he leisurely folded his news
paper.
The girl tore the envelope, drew forth
and unfolded the message. As she ran her
eye over the written words the expression
OF her face brought the drummer to his
| feet. Before he could speak she had uttered
a stifled squeal and fled from the room, the
crumpled paper falling upon the floor.
Our drummer rescued the scraps, and here
is what he read:
BLANKvIIIE, March 10.
We have ten-pound boy. Come home.
