Mac was on the Fence.

An aged colored citizen of Kentucky
has explained the moral of the recent
election to the Paducah News in this
way: Dat Bryan and 'Kinley mind me
of de buzzard and de fox Dat buzz
zard was sittin' on de fence at night
time when de fox cum long on de groun'
whar he 'longed. De fox say to de buzz
zard: What's you gwine to do fer
sumfn' TO eatY De buzzard said: rs
trustin' to de Lawd.' De fox said: .I's
gwine to get out and hussle till | strike
a hen roos'.' De fox went out and hus-
sled till he strike a hen roos' and at de
same time he struck two big farmer dogs
dat tore him up. Now, if Bryan had
staid home like de buzzard and trusted to
de Lawd he would have been all right.
Now, dar's 'Kinley; he stayed at home on
de fence and de Lawd provided for him. -

We are indebted to Senator G. X.
Davis for his famous Monroe Doc
trine speech in phamplet form, which
reached us one day last week. There
is hardly any doubt but what Mr..
Davis will receive complimentary
vote from the Minnesota delegation
at st. Louis, and while we sincerely
hope he will receive the nomination,
yet our conscientious scruples forces
us to admit that. his chances are slim.
And one of the most convincing
points to that is that, SO far, Mckinley
has captured all the delegates elected
except from Louisiana, and he gets
half of them. Yet there are plenty
left to elect Davis, if he can get them,
which is hardly probable.

Cruelty of the Seal Hunters.

The seals we killed either with
guns or pixies. There is very little
sort attached to seal hunting, espe-
cially in Antarctic waters, MS the
seals there are tame through igno-
rance of mans bloodthirstiness.
Generally they were asleep when
we approached, and many of them
died without having seen their MUIR
derers. But. as rule, the slaugh-
ter and skinning of the seal were
most bar barous, bloody and hideous
unnecessarily so. Specially cruel
is the task when seal pixies are used.
Only rarely does seal die from one
or two blows of the pike, and if it
is not dead it is 6 5nerally consider
ed "all the better, for it is easier
to skin a seal while it is half alive.
In the utmost agony the wretched
beast draws its muscles away from
the sharp steel which tears away its
skin and thus assists in parting with
its own coat. &C. E. Borchgrevink
in Century.
