Fable Up to Date.

A large Norman horse, which was
employed in hauling heavy dray,
observed a race horse standing 10
padded stall and wearing a bright
coored blanket and being carefully
groomed and fed three times day,
concluded that the race horse had
very soft snap indeed and became am
bilious to trade places with him. The
race horse, on the other hand, who
was compelled to 20 out and train
every day and 90 at the top of his
speed until he was so exhausted that
ne was reassy to drop, seeing the Nor
man walking leisurely along the
street and looking round and fat, en-
Wed him and concluded that job as
dray horse was the thing he was look
ing for. A few days after the race
horse first observed the Norman he
met him ia the road and tackled him
tor change of jobs. The dray horse
was nearly tickled to death with the
proposition and the bargain was
closed at once. The dray horse
walked over in numbering sort of
way to the stall of the thoroughbred
and the thoroughbred tripped over
jauntily and took his place among
the dray horses. But when the keep
er Of the race horse came in to get the
racer ready for the track and found
the Norman standing in the stall he
was hot under the neckband and ask
ed what this lubberly beast was do
ling there. II am race horse" an
swered the Norman as he commenced
to cavort about to show his activity.
"You cont look like it," said the
trainer, "but will give you chance
just to show what a fool you are"
Then he took the dray horse on the
track, hitched him to a sulky and pro-
ceeded to drive him around the track.
When he came under the wire the
Norman was ready to drop with ex-
hauston, but his driver and all the
spectators yelled at him in derision
and told the driver to 60 sell him to
an undertaken. In the meantime the
discontented thoroughbred had been
hitched to heavy drAy and when he
undertook to pull the load, found that
he couldn't move wheel. Then the
driver of the drav cursed him in a
vOluminOus and torrd way. declaring
that he Wasn't worth his feed. That
evening the NeSitan and the thor
oughbred met and condoled with each
other, each eagerly offering the other
some boot if he would trade jobs back
again; and the next day the dray
horse was contentedly pulling his
drav and the thoroughbred was in
training for another race

POLLY'S PIE.

When Mary Ann was cooking once Our Polly made a pie; She took some flour and water And some butter standing nigh; And then. she took some sugar, cause She says she likes things sweet, And sprinkled on the rolling board All that she didn't eat. She rolled it out long, long time, With salt, a little bit; She dropped it four times on the floor, And once she stepped on it. She doesn't think pie plates made of tin Are pretty, so she took A small, red flower pot saucer Which was better for the cook. She tiled her pie with half pear, Two raisins and a date; Then put it in the oven, and Forgot it till quite late. It was not burned, for Mary Ann Had taken care for that; So Polly gave party to

''provocation" which 4Ir Edwards doubtless, thinks justified him in mak- ling an attack upon q defenseless man, of which an untutored savage migho well feel ashamed We were struck down, without warning of the attack, and as We lay insensible at the feet Of this monster, he stamped upon our face head and neck, until the blood flowed from many wounds Could any thing be more revOlting than this to people not utterly depraved?
 Tt was then that the younger Ed wards (only just released from the clutches of the law) wanted to finish the job. but the father felt equal to the occasion, and was preparing to admin lister the coup de grace when two by islanders mercifully interposed to pre- vent the further mutilation of the vic tim, then supposed to be dead, and in doing which one of them was cut across three fingers and the heel of the hand by a knife in E. J. Edwards possession.
 well, the editCr had still a spark of life remaining in him and revived after being taken to his home by kind friends.
 "On the following day Edwards senc us a verbal message, conveying the threat that if we ever said anything about him again in our paper he would kill us if he knew he would be strung up the next minute.
 We don't know how the public will view it, but to us the threat is as dss- picable as was his murderous work of the night previous. It was an attempt to intimidate his victim and prevent wider publicity being given to his cowardly and inhuman acts. As newsmonger it is our privilege and a duty we owe to our readers to acquaint them of E. J. Edwards exploits. as well as it is to publish the arrest of a hobo for vagrancy. And which recalls the fact that MT. Edwards plead guilty to aggravated assault, and was fined S30 by Justice Whalley, when he should have received the limit, $300 But MT said he thought that was about right, as it was as much as he would fine a '-h0bo." So be it known to the people Of Globe, that in Judge William Whalley's court, assault with intent to commit murder, and hoboing are crimes of equal gravity"

THE ASSAULT ON HAFfILL
The Editor Having Recovered Tells
 inc Story of inc HffaCh.

The Globe Silver Belt in it's last issue printed ahe following: An account of the cowardly and brutal assault made fby D. J. Edwards upon Joseph H. Hamill, editor of this paper on Wed nesday night, January 1. is belated by reason of the serious injuries inflicted upon our person, and from which we are now only partially recovered.
 ''In the issue of the Silver Belt fol- lowing the killing of Charles CadOtte, there appeared an editorial deplOring the unlawful taking of human life and charging that the shooting of CadOtte was unjustiiable. That article was very generally approved among our readers, except MT. Edwards and his personal friends.
 That the case was considered des- perate for the defense is shown by the successful effort made to secure an ad- journment of court from December 21 to January 3, and aE order for Q spec ial venire of fifty jurymen taken mostly from the country precincts where E. J. Edwards is reputed to have staunch friends. Two attorneys of reputation as criminal lawyers were employed from a distance, and in the conduct of the case by the defense nothing was overlooked that might in any way ac- crue to the advantage of the prisoner at the bar The rulings of the court in favOrIof the defense were extremely liberal in the matter of the intrOduc- tion of evidence. Under such circum- stances the verdict of jury may acquit the prisoner, but does not necessarily vindicate him; and in our opinion did not vindicate Charles B. Edwards, and as we so expressed ouzself.
 What we have said regarding the case as above indicated, constitutes the

OCEAN STEAMERS ARE OVERDUE
Anxiety Felt ct Boston For the Safety
 Of Nine Big Liners.

Boston Jan. 15.-Great concern is felt for the safety of nine big ocean liners now from a week to two weeks over due. The agents of th5 different ships and the consignees of the cargoes are anxious lest disaster has befallen the ships, and further because in many in- stances the merchants need the goods and the steamship people, who hava had to abandon all idea of keeping to the sailing schedule, have all their piers cCngested with the outward car goes of the belated steamers.
 Some of the vessels have broken down at sea, as was the case with the Puritan line steamer Storm King, from Antwerp fer Boston, which was lowed into Queenstown, Tuesday, the day she was due here.
 The most concern is felt for the Johnston liner Oakmore. which left Londcn twenty-one days ago for this pert, from the fact that she is suppos- ed to have been sighted at sea ap- parently with some slight machinery derangement. She is only about a year old and is capable Of withstand ing the seveTest kind of weather and making the run in thirteen days.
 The steamer Roman of the Warren line is fifteen days out rem LiverpooI on a passage she generally accomplish ed in ten days. The list of European steamers overdue includes the Tram from Dantzic, Dec. 19: Olaf Kyrse from Dantzic, Dec 20, via Shields, Dec. 26; Lakoja from Barry, Dee. 24; Mel rose from LcndOn, Dec 23; Bostcnian from London, Dec. 30; Sagamore from Liverpool, Dee. 31; and Armenian from Liverpool, Jan. 1.
