cRuHLuY usRp A HORSE.

A case OF cruelty 10 horse was no
hoed this morning by tss Wayfarer at
the French stEeet station which
should be called to the notice Of the
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty
TO Animals. United States mail wagon
No. /, driven by brutal looking col
ored man and a young white man,
whose looks plainly showed his CALI
bne, was pulled up to the curbing. The
horse driven Was al small bay that
seemed anxious to satisfy the demands
OF it's brutal and senseless drivers,
who were endeavoring TO back the
wagon up 10 the curb for the purpose
OF loading the mail pouches. The col
ored man got ON Of the wagon and
taking a long. ferce-looking whip, be-
gan to lash the animal around the legs
to make him back while the white
man sat an the wagon and sawed the
poor beasts mouth nearly 10 pieces.
The senseless and cruel part Of the
whole matter was that the horse was
not at all Obstinate and was Obeying
every pull Of the lines and every word
spoken to it until the singing blows
from the whip, coupled with the tom
turo to it's mouth by the fellow tnat
held the lines, almost crazed it.
The affair was noticed by several
persons, who, like the Wayfarer, stood
it ais long as they possibly could. FL
nally the two men got the horse in po-
sition and discontinued that punish
ment of the inOffensive beast. The
Wayfarer stepped up TO the cOlored
man and asked whom the horse be
longed to. Failing to receive a satis-
factory answer he asked the white man
who owned the horse.
what do you want to know fOr?"
said the man.
"ITs my business to know" return
ed THE Wayfarer.
Then find out" insoiently replied
the driver.
Il will" retorted the Wayfarer, and
started out to make his word good,
and succeeded in learning all he wish
ed to know concerning the two cruel
and cowardly specimens of mankind.

Preaching and PrnctIcIng.

The Boston Transcript tells school
story which enforces the lesson that
preaching is of little use without prac-
ticing. In school in Boston not far
above the primary grade, the teacher
was one day reading a story the sub
ject of which was borrowing. She sup
plemented the reading with some re-
marks of her own, which she closed
with this parting admonition: above
oil things children, when you have oc-
Casion to borrow, never forget to re-
turn the borrowed article. Do not put
the person who was kind enough to ae-
commodate you to the trouble Of send

ing, a knock was heard at the. door.
"Come in" said the teacher, as soon as
she had finished her sentence. Apupil

sAIIING WITHOUT LIGHTs.

There is a Democratic politician, on
more or less prominence, who boards
on the West Side. Some time ago he
went home at a late hour without any
matches in his pocket and, the Way
farer is told, almost asphyxiated the
whole establishment while trying to
light the gas with his lighted cigar.
Since that time he has always carried
a large supply Of matches in his pock-
cts.
Early this week he went home in the
small nours, somewhat the worse for
wear, but nappy IN the consciousness
that he had had a good time. It was
extremely hot, and the politician was,
II anything, warmer than the weather.
He reached the boarding house door,
pulled out his key, and unlocked it.
Closing 1t after him he essayed to
open the vestibule door and found it
locked. In his eagerness to get in
without anyone hearing him he
dropped his key. He fumbled around
in the dark for a time, but could not
find it. Then he began striking
matches in the hot, stuffy vestibule
Fourteen were ignited in rapid success
sion and at last the key was found, but
not until all Of his matches were gone
Opening the vestibule door he found
the hallway and other apartments OF
the house in darkness. Making a dead
reckoning he steered for the stairway
Missing it, he brought up in the dining
room, upsetting the water cooler, flood
ing the room and raising pandemonium
generally. At last he found the stair
way and went to bed
When the mistress OF the house went
downstairs next morning the vestibule
looked like the Sunday Breakfast Asso-
cations woodward, and the dining
room recalled to her mind unpleasant
recOllections Of stories which she had
heard in childhood about a man named
Noah and his family and their animal
friends. She is now thinking Of sup
plying her boarder with a pocket com
pass, a life belt and a set Of range
lights from the front door to his
spring mattress.

Of tsc Orutlh.

II is curious fact, says q veteran.
that somb nnen neeer learn TO keep
step perfectly. rhcrO arc some men.
old soldiers perhaps, who can't help
falling into step when they hear mar
tial music--the left foot down at the
heavy tap Of the drum The very great
majority Of mon can learn to keep
step, but there ar6 men who can't keep
step, or, ae likely as not. march with
tho right foot down at the heavy tap.
Somehow their left. foot hevcr gets
hooked on to that heavy tap as it
should. Every old soldier will recol-
lect such men--anybody can sec such
men at a military parade, and this not
as a result OF confusion due TO two
bands of music. one ahead and the
other at the rear, but lack of the exact
time keeping instinct.
The commanding officer OF a com
pany may bo seen marching within
clear sound OF his own music, with hts
right foot down at the heavy tap, whilo
the company viii be all right. have
seen a commander Of q grand army
post marching In time with tho music,
but with his right foot down at the
heavy tap, and, as likely as not, he was
a man who served from one end OF the
war to the other.
The simple fact appears TO be that
there are some men. as / said, who
never get their left foot fully and un-
failingly hooked on TO the heavy tap Of
the drum.

THE CABBAGE KING.

When John f. Campbell Of New
Castle, fireman at the Court House,
says that he will do thing he does IL.
The Wayfarer knows of one or two
men who were knocked down because
they did not know of this characteris-
tic OF the man who makes it hot for
the Court House officials.
Barney Barnato was the diamond
king; John A. North, the nitrate king;
John W. Collins, the tomato king;
Claus Spreckles is the sugar king; J.
Edward Addicks, the gas king; Joe
Letter, the wheat king; John d. Rookie
feller, the oil king; William A. Clark,
the silver king, and John Mackey, the
bonanza king, but to William w. Dra-
per, sixth assistant clerk of the peace,
has been reserved the title of The
Cabbage King"
For some reason there has been a
great scarcity of cabbage plants down
in Appoquinimink hundred, where Mr.
Draper resides, this season. What Ma
ture begrudged to Appoquinimink she
gave unstintingly to New Castle hun
dred, and the truckers there have more
cabbage plants than they know what
to do with. Hearing of this condition
from Fireman Campbell, THE Cabbage
King Of Appoquinimink" made ar
rangements with him to supply him
with $500 plants. They were to be
delivered to the Cabbage King at the
railroad station at New Castle on We'd
nesday evening. Everybody knows
what the weather was on Wednesday.
The bottom of the tank dropped out.
When Campbell reached the station
with two large bags filed with cabbage
plants he looked to the WayfareF as
though he had swum across the Della
ware river with them; but-he had
kept his word.
Cabbage King" Draper IS a fine
looking young man who dresses we'll

FOR his sef-sacrihcing conduct in keep
ing an appointment under such cir
cumstsnces, he impressed a couple OF

tie man had cheated him. BY the time
