A Cruel BOY.
Ed. Standard:

ED. STANDARD:
Last Sunday afternoon boy III or
II years of age, threw a pet kitten
into the bay, near the opera house,
and despite the circumstances OF
other children, he pushed it away
from the landing by means of board,
and drowned it. This was done, not
because the kitten was in the way, or
troublesome, but from wantOn cruelty.
The parents of that boy, and the par
ents of all such boys, should arouse
themselves and repress such tenden-
cies. 1t is from such boys as these
that our criminal classes come. Any
child who can find delight in killing
an unotfending kitten, or other crea-
ture, has murder i'll his heart. Par
ents, guardians and teachers who care
for his future should seek to eradicate
it more assiduously than they would

There is frequent complaint OF such

will freeze cream instantly. The
cream is put into the freezer and
comes out instantly, smooth and per-
fectly frozen. This astonishes people
and a crowd will gather to see the
freezer in operation and they will all
want to try the cream. You can sell
cream as fast as it can be made and
sell freezers to many of them who
would not buy an old style freezer. 1t is
really a curiosity and you can sell
from S. to IS worth of cream and six

"CAMP SILVER, Aug. 10, 1896
Messrs, Phil Armour & Co., Chicago,
Ill. - Dear Phil: Your offer of SO
cents worth OF meat and Mexican dol
lar in exchange for an American dol
lar, received, but can do better with
our home butcher. He offers so cents
worth of meat and - worth of Portu.
guese 3 per cent. gold bonds in ex-
change for a silver dollar.
"Our butcher says the bonds must
be good, as Portugal has been on gold
standard since 1858 (twentv years be-
fore the other enlightened nations of
Europe), and it's national debt has
only increased 100 per cent. since that
date. Average wages paid all artisans
in Portugal is IL cents a day.
"In your former letter you told me
that all we needed was little gold,
banking facilities and confidence
Portugal has little gold the
world has had its improved banking
facilities since 1858, and can supply
the confidence, so the bonds are GER
tainly good.
"Our home butcher says he will
continue to give 80 cents worth OF
meat and ~ of Portuguese gold bonds
after Bryan is elected. Will you con-
tinue to give so cents worth of meat
and Mexican dollar in exchange for
an American dollar after Bryan is
elected? Yours Truly,

quotes Mexican bonds at 941. Portu
