How Snap Punished tho Cat.

venture to send you the follow
ing story of an Irish terrier which
belonged to my late father, we'll
known Cambridge man. One day at
lunch, while Snaps attention was
for a moment diverted from his
plate, our favorite cat managed to
purloin some of his choicest chicken
bones. On discovering what had hap
pened, the dog at once "made for"
puss, but my father said, "Snap, re-
member you are not to hurt pussy. "
and all wes peace again. Later in
the afternoon, however, the sound
Of vehement cat Language proceed

Bread Stories.

1t is supposable that bread, home
made or bakers, being free from
authorizations, would be singularly
simple and honest substance and
therefore have no power in regard to
the evil eye, but it seems that it
has. Nothing can be more beautiful
than the act of the Breton peasant
who, before cutting his loaf, makes
the sign of the cross on it. If he only
stopped there, expressing his thank
fulness for food, that would be we'll,
but superstition carries him much
farther. If child is born to him, a
crumb of that bread, especially if it
be rye bread, is put into tho infants
sleeve, and then the chances of the
baby having the collie are diminish
ed. If COW shows signs of sickness
or a horse is lame, crumb of the
bread is supposed to benefit the ami
NAL.
In Bavaria, when you 60 into the
woods, especially that portion in
tested by spirits, only put crust of
bread in your mouth, and no ghost,
sprite or witch can trouble you.
Somehow many retain an idea of tho
peculiar sanctity of bread. For in
stance, it is all right to leave bit of
meat on your plate, but it is wicked
RI leave q niece of bread. Very good
fathers and mothers inculcate that
idea, and little children believe then
that there is something particularly
sacred about bread which potato
does not possess, and this is sheer
nonsense. All waste is to be avoided,
but there is no more special good
ness in bread than there is in sau-
sage. New York Times.

Our train had pulled in on sid

Opposite this shed, ON the other side

We had been idling around for

We had fred SO bullets at the bot

there was yell from the bushes,
and native came crawling out on

"What hev I done, that you all

He was informed that he would
make up purse to pay the damages,

He took the money and disappeared
soon after and had long start,

asked:

The Fly In Amber.

In one of the European Museums may be
seen a piece of amber, in which is deeply
EMBEDDED a perfect fly. Now, neither the
amber nor the fly are curiosities, but the
curiosity consists in how the fly got inte the
amber. An equally wonderful curiosity may
occasionally be seen in country drug stores,
in the shape of huge drastic cathartic pills,
put up in cheap wood or pasteboard boxes.
The curiosity with these 'jokers," consists in
knowing who asks for them, when 1t is gen.
orally known that Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pei
lets, sugar-coated, and put up in glass bot
ties, always fresh and reliable, but little lar
ger than mustard seeds, are an efficient cath
artic, regulate the liver, and cure sick head

LITE ELECTION NEWS

ST.. PAUL, Nov. At is certain that
Mckinley and Hobart are elected, but
by majorities somewhat narrow in
some of the States. The States of
Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts,, Minnesota,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Wisconsin, and Vermont are conceded
for Mckinley. This makes total of
22O. The States of Kentucky, North,
Dakota, Wyoming, Delaware, Indiana,
Oregon and Tennessee, are almost
sure for Mckinley.
Bryan has 1876 and probably %
that are now doubtful.
Clough and Lind are running close
and it may take the official count to
decide who is elected, although the
State will go Republican by from
$4,000 to 10000.
