knit from honestwool yarn. They
were great things, those "com-

the name. Usually they were
red in color. From six to twelve
feet long and foot wide. they
encircled the neck two or three
times, enshrouded the ears,
transversed the breast diagonal

knot around the waist. Some
times mittens were knitted upon
the ends, in which case the proud
possessor of the comforter

these '.comforters?" Have silken

was it probable thatI should ever

Oar people, if they had paused
moment for reflection, might have
REALIZED the meagrc benefit to he de-
rived from mere partisan victory
when compared with the command
ling influence resulting from a second
term in Congress Of n man OF such
marked individuality that he has all
ready attracted the attention of the
whole nation; not for pccnliarities of
dress, as his enemies. the partisan
cookoos and parrots, delight to affirm.
nor for his polite manners and suave
address, for they only excite envy in
an ignoble nature but for those God
given attributes of humanity which |
elevate the soul to higher plane of
action and endow their pOssessor with |
the ability to grasp those subtilties OF
thought and action which constitute
true craftsmanship. The foxy, sordid
nature OF Mark Hanna enabled him to |
realize this when he set the party ma
chine in motion, and sounded the
note of alarm that enlisted the aid OF
the giants of the party to defeat the
of 4 man who they could
see would be q thorn in the side of
the evil doors who control the party
OF selfishness and greed. A man who
had repeatedly been accredited with
the highest honors of an organization
like Tammany; a man who had re-
ceived distinguished marks of approval
from men of acknowledged probity and
thought, must of necessity attract the
spleen of of envy and encounter all the
shafts which malevolence can hurl.
1t is safe to say that no man ever
elected to Congress has succeeded in q
brief time in directing more attention
to our new and inviting common
wealth than Mr.. Lewis, and to sup
plant him by men of mediocre ability
and regulations that do not extend a
hundred miles from their place of resi-
dence is the poorest kind of business
policy to say nothing of political sa
gacity.

a Questionable Honor.

The Cincinnati Live Bird Shooting
Society has just closed one of its most
holly contested tournaments. The
winner, that is the soulless contest
ant who has ruthlessly killed, MANNED
and wounded the greatest number OF
harmless pigeons is now being lion
lied from one end of the continent to
the other. He has been presented
with an deliberately gotten up silver
vase and sketches OF it were published
in all the leading sporting papers of
the country, together with the details
of the shooting match. Hundreds of
live birds were liberated from elevated
cages and then shot on the wing as
they SCARED away in quest of freedom
and security. The birds chosen for
this heinous sport are not mischiev-
Gus nor troublesome to man. They
do not, like the eagle and hawk, swoop
down into the farmers barnyard and
carry off young lambs and chickens /;
nor like the crow do they pull up
sprouting grain to the utter ruin of
spring crops. On the contrary, they
are prominent types OF the dove FAM
lily, renowned since the day OF Noah,
fos harmlessness, fidelity ami con-
jugal love.
Many OF these birds having barely
escaped the fatal bullet fly to the
woods only to die there in lingering
agony from the wounds they have re-
ceived.
BY sort of common consent, those
birds which are not killed, but
only more or less wounded, are the
free plumber Of small boys and their
dogs who gather in large numbers out
side of the gates to track and follow
the disabled creatures that find no
mercy even after having been exposed
to the deadly aim of the crack sports.

Societies for the prevention of
cruelty to animals are doing much
good all over the land, but their efforts
utterly fail yet to reach the bottom of
this great evil which is year by year
growing into more gigantic proper
tions. Now let us have society for
the abolition OF live-bird shoots.
