struck me 1 should have been perfectly
justified in carrying out my intention.
'sThis is not the first time 1 have been
attacked. Several years ago heard that
l was to be killed and hunted for the man
for days to give him chance to carry out
his intention, but he never even gave me
a chance to interview him on the matter.
"a couple of years ago young fellow
who was as big and strong as King, l
should think, tackled me in my office, but
he went away disappointed in his inten-
ton of thrashing me and carried the
marks of my blows on his face for weeks.
/ am not looking for a reputation as a
pugilist, however, from a contest with
King or any one else. If it.comes to
point where can't avoid him 1 shall see
that he does not strike second time.
Supervisor Taylor has q fad for collect
ing canes, and is the owner of quite a
number of walking-sticks that he has
picked up at various times during his ca
reer. Since his encounter with King he
has taken to carrying an innocent-looking
bamboo, with a round, black handle,
which he twirls jauntily while not walk
ing.
AT first glance there is nothing danger
Gus about this stick. but closer investiga-
ton reveals the fact that the head is
loaded, and that in strong hands the
stick would be weapon capable of felliug
an OK.
Supervisor King enjoys the reputation
of being handy man with his fists and a
rough-and-tumble fighter of no small pro-
fciency. His latest accomplishment in
the pugilistic line was to administer a
savage beating to newspaper man, about
half his weight and size, who had dared to
oppose him in some small matter.

possible and made run at the ATTORNEY.

of battery.

TO Kill, or at least allegations to that effect.

Jealous member of this peculiar sect and
a firm believer In ali their eccentric doc
trines. He was a very old man, now. and
these beliefs had been so fostered in his
mind and were now so hardened there That
he thought the only salvation for the soul
lay in such adherence. The girl was the
daughter OF favorite sister and he loved
those OF his own blood. He was willing
to give her the advantages OF education
and gentle training and make her heiress

these ascetic doctrines OF self-denial and
repression. But listen: She had pair OF
liquid brown eyes, quantities OF waving
brown hair and a singularly white. trans
parent skin. These defeated the course OF
early piety. Many were the arguments
against tie sin of vanity and conformity
to the ways of worldliness launched against
her soul; some Of them almost convinced
her, for she was pliable of mind and sweet
OF temper-but, oh, how ugly she looked
in little Dunkard bonnet! If they would

that when this maiden looked In the mirror
and was confronted by that pair or cnarm-

questions After while 1t appeared reason
able that she should also answer these
questions.
And then a man fell in love with her-a
man who did not care in the least If she
wore hats with innumerable feathers, in

form of feminine finery. And one Sunday
the people OF the little village looked out
from behind their blinds to see a strange
sight. There was little Miss Mary, walking
with her beau, with a hat on her head

family in the air. She had, too, a new
dress and 1t was cut with no Puritanical

The ease and success with which people are
swindled is constant source of amazement to
all thinking, observing men. of whom claim
to be one. 1t is not the common, every day,
Woodworking, saving, debt paying people who
are thus swindled, thank the Lord It would
be intolerable If it were. These people know
the worth Of a dollar. They know it repre-
sents bard work. They give honest hard work
for it themselves, aud they expect something
that represents honest hard work for it when
they part with it. They are not trying to
swindIe anybody else. SO that they are rarely
swindled. 1t is the "smart Alecks "-the fell
lows who think they are lawfully GINNING"

some easier way than by giving proper value

the many years of my observation from tho
unusually coed standpoint of newspaper man.
Years'ago, when, as reporter it was my duty
to attend horse races, prize-fghts, billiard
matches. regattas, og-fghts, and similar sport
ing events" it was a constant interest to watch
this constant business Of "dog-eat.dog." No
where was there the slightest honesty or fair
play. Everybody Was setting up jobs to beat
somebody else, and getting beat himself more
or less often in the operation. The money for
these operations 10 furnished by men who actu-
ally work for it. In every body of workingmen
clerks, printers, BARRIERS, mechanics, farmers
laborers. etc., there is always small percent
tage of knowing. sporty fellows" who have
tips" are cup to date" and all that. They
are the fellows that the small-fry professional
sports lay for" and get four times out Of i've.
They arc allowed to win just often enough to
keep them encouraged to bet. Ten dollars

THE rHEsxDENr Ann cUsA.
Possibly MI. Cleveland has said tn,

wisest thing in relation to Cuba.
He is nearing the close of his Admin
istration. Less than three months of
power yet remains to him-a very short
time in diplomatic matters Nothing
has recently occurred to call for an
abrupt change in the policy which has
been pursued since the rebellion began.
Things are merely the same, only grow
ing worse and more intolerable. The
failure of the Cubans to set up and
maintain civil Government badly COM
plicates the situation. They have moth
ing to recognize much as we would like
to recognize to accord belliger-
ent rights to.
At this late day President Cleveland
could only make situation for his sue
cessor to deal with. He wisely prefers
not to do this. He therefore contents
himself with preserving the diplomatic
amenities by compliments to Spain upon
the exertions she has made and is making
to maintain her territorial integrity,
recites at length the intolerably miser-
cradle condition to which the island
has been reduced, to the great injury
not only of its people, but of American
citizens, and gives Spain distinct warm
ing that it may come any day that
American patience may be exhausted,
and we may take decisive means to end
the deplorable conditions He suggests
to Spain two courses: either to sell the
island, or give it perfect autonomy under
the guarantee Of the United States He
expresses faint hope that the last will
be accepted.
That largely depends upon the sue
cess of Capt.-Gen. Weyleris present
operations. Spain is now making her
supreme and last effort. Unless Weyler
can force the Cubans to decisive battle
within a few weeks. Spain will sink under
the double load she is carrying of the
war there and in the Philippines Up
to this time the chances seem SO favorable
to the Cubans that we can we'll afford to
wait little longer. The conditions will
be the better for decisive action by the
Mckinley Administration.
