His Anger Aroused.

Dir. ]. Fl. Withers was an angry
man this morning, and he had cause
to be. The Doctor owned dog and
a cat which he priced very highly,
but this morning these animals are
no more; their lives are extinct, and
only their carcasses remain to re-
mind the Doctor of the treasures he
has lost.
During the hours of last night,
while the silvery moon was shedding
such halo of beauty over Mother
Earth, fiend in human form threw
pieces of fresh meat, on which
striehnihe had been freely sprinkled,
into DR.. Wither's yard. The tempt
ing morsels were soon gobbled up by
DR.. Wither's fine cat and his highly
priced dog, and soon the feline and
canine were in the throes of death.
This morning their owner was
looking for the perpetrator Of the
deed, and when he is dis
covered he will be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law.
