Is it not passing strange that the
way the income tax now stands the
very people it was intended to
reach are exempt from its ex-
actions. 1t is pretty hard matter
to reach the Golfers of the wealthy
in a constitutional manner, though
the trusts and other monopolies
continue to squeeze the very life
out of the masses and they manage
to keep within the law.

The Sugar Belt indicator is a
little gay over the prospects of
Republican success. 1t says that
party will be ruling the country
even when the next generation will

through his hat.

JOHN FELT HURT.
But Not on Account of the Denti
Cruelty.


Bot Not on Ac~ount of the Dentiss-s
Cruelty.
The man that boasts is on the high
road TO humiliation Something like
that seems TO be the lesson OF an anus
ing little tale reported by the Cincin-
natl Tribune. IL concerns the boyish
son of Presbyterian minister of that
city.
He had been suffering from toothache.
and at last his father said:
swell, John, Wen go TO the dentist
tomorrow and have the tooth ex-
tracted."
John was not much elated over such
prospect. but he made the best of it.
and straightway began Dragging to
some of his playmates about the fearful
ordeal that he was to so through. 1t
was an lawfully big TOOTH" he told
them. The dentist would have TO use
both hands to pull it, and most likely
would be obliged to call in his assistant.
Well, the next day came. and in due
course the boy found himself in the big
operating chais on each arm Of which
he took good grip.
The dentist looked into the open
mouth, smiled, took up small steel in
struinent, thrust it under the offending
tooth and literally pried it out.
The boy looked at the tooth. and then
at the dentist. Then he walked across
the room, saying not a word, and began
putting on his overcoat. His father fol-
lowed him and asked:
did it hurt you, my son?'
That was toe much for the hero. Two
big tears started down his cheeks.
Hurt" he said. Hurt! Why, he
didn't pull my tooth out. He just took
il out with a tackiifter."

SELLING DISEASED HoRsE.MEA1
Packers In the Town OF Hammond. Near
Chicago, Arrested.


Chicago, Arrested.
Hammond. Ind, Oct 30.-Three en-
ployes of Anil Moerschke's horse meat
packing house were arrested this noon
by Sheriff Ben Hayes and four depu-
ties after most exciting chase through
the dense timber and brush in one OF
the lonliest and most Inaccessible parts
of Lake county. The men were armed
with heavy axes, which they attempted
to use on their captorS, but they We're
overpowered and brought to this city
in a patrol wagon used in the chase. At
police headquarters they gave their
names as Ferdinand Grimm, William
OFT, and Matthew Meir. The charges
against them are killing diseased
horses and disposing of the meat for
food. The men were placed under $500
bonds, in default of which they were
taken to Crown Point.
Moerschke, the owner and head OF the
concern, is in Indianapolis, trying 10
get an Injunction in the United States
court to enjoin the officers from inter-
fering with his business, which has
been in a thriving condition since driv-
en- out of Illinois. Warrants are out for
his arrest, and he will be taken just as
soon as he steps inside Lake county.
The horse meat Gamers have given II
out fat that they will make a fight, and
have engaged local counsel. but the au-
fhoritieS are determined that the in
dustry shall be driven out of the COM
munity and Sheriff Hayes will put forth
every effort to reach that end.
The sentiment of the people is grow
ing against the business since ii has be-
come known that only old, diseased,
and decripted animals are slaughtered,
and should the authorities be thwarted
in their plans il is not improbable that
other means will be resorted TO by the
selves to be in favor of visiting the
place in a body and destroying it.

THE SEA OTTER.
An Exceedingly Dexterous and Graceful
Swimmer.

An Exceedingly Dexterous and Graceful
Swimmer.
The dexterity of sea offers in turning
and doubling upon their pursuers is due
10 the strength of their hind paws,
which have five webbed fingers or toes,
the center one being shorter, like those
of seal. Their tails are used as rud-
ders, but are not so long as those of the
common otter. Their love of life, their
harmlessness, their innocence, their
beauty, and their tender, tircless care OF
their babies also, should make man their
friend and admirer. Perhaps he would
BE if love of money were not his SUI
preIne passion.
Common offers have short, webbed
front paws that are used as deity as
hands by men, fms by fish. or feet by
land quadrupeds; their hind legs arc
short, and are set well back for pad
ding swiftly. Their muscular tails
serve as tillers, and are important parts
of machinery that overcomes distance
with incredible rapidity. They are
able to make abrupt turns and a thou
sand swift and graceful maneuvers
when seeking their finny food or escap-
ing from their natural enemies. They
are said to be so untiring in the sea that
fish never escape them. OF course il
is only in geological gardens that the
shy and crafty habits of offers can be
closely studied. In tanks of water they
sometimes deftly catch and hold sew
eral fish at once. and often kill many
more than they can eat, as if the mere
occupation of fishing were distinct
pleasure and the destruction of their
prey a keen satisfaction; so that their
sportsmanli6e tastes are near akin to
those of men.
