NEVER BURNED WITCHES.
Mr.. Barton Denies That the Puritans

Mr.. Barton Denies That the Puritans
Ever Indulged in That Practice.
The Boston Journal publishes correspond
ence between Albert Clarke and the Rev.
william E. Barton, in W hich the former says
that Mr.. Barton had been quoted as saying
in speech in that city on Monday: 1T
was frequently urged against them 1.-THE
Puritans) that they had burned witches.
So they did, but they abandoned that prac-
tice fifty years before it was given up in
England" etc. Mr.. Clarke continues:
..If YOU referred to any executions in
Massachusetts. by burning at the stake you
will confer great favor upon the public by
citing the history that records them. know
1t is common impression that such execu-
tions took place, and, though do not claim
to be familiar with the history, remember
hearing Senator Hoar reply>to taunt of
such barbarity in Massachusetts,, made by
Southern nSenator-I think tire late Benjamin
Hill of Georgia-about fourteen years ago,
that no witch or person accused uf WITCH
craft was ever burned at the stake in
Massachusetts. As Senator Hoar Is an
accurate scholar and would be unlikely to
be mistaken about a matter of so much
Importance in the history of his native
State 1t occurs to ME that possibly you
spoke from an early impression gained
in a distant State, and from the common
belief, without having looked up tie
record"
To this Mr.. Barton makes positive dis
claimer, saying:
"I am glad that did not say yesterday,
or at any other time, that the Puritans
burned witches. l have frequently cor
pocfod that QrrOr While I wos iifarn Y
editor of the Central CongregatinDalist
challenged the statement made by the Rev.
j. T. Christian, in his volumeon the Bapcsts.
and think / corrected the same impression
in review I wrote of Marvin's life of
Cotton Mather for the Bibliutheca Sacra.
am on record In print on that subject, and
he slip was the reporters. I said in
substance, that We are reminded of the
Puritans hanging witches 200 years ago
by the cousins OF the men who burned a
woman as witch In Ireland two weeks
ago"

AN OFFENDED OSTRICH.
An Innocent Kitten MistoOk His Legs
for Sa aplingS and Climbed Tn.

for Saplings and Climbed Up.
The ostrich at the geological garden
stood in TIE long yard adjoining its cage
IN The cecr house recently, says the Phila-
dclphia Press. 1t gaZed contemplatively
through the bars of the fence at the W orld
beyond and shivcred every once in aw hile
as the cool breezes swept down upon it,
1t was thinking OF the differences in ell
mates and " wondering whether if it buried
one OF lis eggs as it used TO do in the
long grass during such weather the cool
wave would hatch out an ice cream churn.
While IL was revolving the question I'm
its mind playful kitten came through
the fence into the yard. 1t was pretty
kittcn-pure white, except for a few
blotches that looked as If somebody had
thrown an ink bottle at it, alter carefully
removing tie cork. The kitten went run
ming along the yard until ii came to the
ostrich. Thinking its long, thick legs were
young sapIings, the playful kitten gave a
run and quickly climbed up them, and as
soon on top OF the ostrich's back.
The huge bird did not know what 10
make of it at first and went cantering
around the yard as though the plague
were after it. Round and round 1t went
until, red in the face, it came to sudden
stop. The kitten never moved. 1t had
taken a firm hold of the ostrich and did
not propose to be shaken.
Il stood the earthquake this morning."
Iaid the kitten; II guess 1 can stand this"
Finding that the strange beast refused
TO be thus summarily disposed of, the ostrich
became less scared and more angry. 1t
curled its neck and twisted its head so as
to get fair look at the kitten. The kitten
never WINGED. 1t began to think 1t had
barkcd up the wrong tree, but it was deter
mined to see the matter out. The ost rich
aimed blow at the undesirable rider with.
fits beak, but it lodged. 1t tried it again,
but the result was the same. Again and
again the agile head and long neck rained
siedge-hammer blows at the tricky little
kitten. 1t escaped them all, though some
We're too near for comfort.
Finally the kitten got scared. It ran
S out Oh the ostrich's neck to get out of the
way. Then it smiled. The ostrich couldn't
hit IL there. Its smile did not last long, how
ever With a sudden movement the ostrich
stretched its neck backward, encircled the
kitten around the waist and squeezed It
until it was dead. Then it unwound itself
and placidly looked at the dead animal.
After moment or two OF contemplation II
picked up its victim and flung it as far as
II could. Then IL calmly resumed Its medi-
tations that had been so ruthlcssly inter
