A Prejudiced Editor.

Wimbledon's ball team went to
Cooperstown last Saturday to play
a return game. OF course, as was
to be expected, they had to contend
against the nine from that place to-
gether with all the hoodlums who
could be massed around and in the
diamond. Frequent Interference
with our men in the field was the
rule adhered to by the rowdies, and
in consequence instead of watching
the ball they were kept active chas
ing outsiders back. That was not
baseball; it was only farce, and
disgusted all who came to see the
game. 1t is amusement at time 10

While John Nicoll, Sr., was driv-

large gray timber wolves by Jack
Flynn's old farm. The wolves came
up to within thirty feet of his buggy
and sized up Mr.. Nicoll with hungry
looking stare but did not offer to mol
est him. He says that that was
one time that he was sorry he did not
have gun with him as he feels con-
fident he could have shot both of them

Cats Of Other Days.

The lot Of the average nineteenth
century cat does not compare favorably
with that of its ancestors. Everybody
knows that the early Egyptians held
the cat sacred, and any one injuring a
sacred animal was liable to severe pun
ishment. Among the ancient laws Of
Wales was statute which prohibited
the slaughter Of cat under curious
penalty. The owner Of the slaughtered
animal held it by the tip Of the tail,
with its nose touching the floor, and the
slayer had to give him, by way Of COM
pensation, as much wheat as would
bury the entire animal out Of sight.
The grain was supposed to represent
the amount that the owner would lose
through the depredations Of vermin by
being deprived Of the cat.
Saxony, Switzerland and other Eu-
ropean countries also had laws enacted
for the protection Of cats, which were
regarded Of economic value. Now, how
ever, pussy is simply decorative do
mestio adjunct.

A Popular Librettist Couldn't withhold .
Joke IN Prospective Bride.
". s. Gilbert does not retain all OF
his humor for use in his librettos.
In tho early days Of his success. when
Gilbert and Sullivan were considered
by managers us the "sure winners" in
the comic opera field, young woman
who was q member Of one Of the Pima
fore" companies wrote to Gilbert tell
ing him Of her approaching marriage
with young man Of good position and
family.
Gilbert congratulated the young wo.
man and expressed the hope that her IN.
ture might be prosperous and happy.
Only little more than q month pass
ed, and another letter from the same
girl reached him, in which she stated
that her engagement with the young
man had been broken and that she had
accepted another sutton. -
He replied that he had every conf.
dence in her Judgment and again ex-
pressed his hearty wishes for her vel.
fare.
1t was almost two months after that
that Gilbert received third letter from
the same girl. who informed him that
young Lord - had proposed and that
she had accepted him after breaking
her engagement with No. 2.
Gilbert's humor could no longer
Withstand the temptation, and he wrote,
II desire to congratulate you on your
approaching marriage with Hero he
placed an asterisk and In footnote
added:
Here insert the name Of the happy
man"
This il probably as characteristic q
piece Of humor as any that appears in
his "Bab Ballads" or in his works for
tho stage.-New York Press.
