Neacs, had a series of sketches in

ing his impressions of some of the
members of the House of Dele
gates. Among them were those
of Mr.. w. III. Lakin, who is the
Oldest member, and d. Prince.
ton Buckley, the youngest. OF
course the cuts are not flattering
likenesses, but they are unmis-
taxable to those who have ever
seen either of the two gentlemen.

THIS is the line of the year to keep
our stone cru-hers at work. We would
like to krow how many miles of
road has been improved since the com
missiuners have purchaed these ma
chimes. If our people would show
little enterprise themselves, we would
soou see marked improvement in our
country roads. One trouble has been
that often the money appropriated is
not spent on the roads.

The Mayor and Our Police.

At present it seems that the Mayor
has no rules laid down for the govern
ment of our police. No time seems to
be appointed for the police to report for
duty. No regular time for them to
patrol their sections. No roll calls,
and indeed no rules adopted for the
government of our police force. OF
course this causes considerable dissatis-
faction in the city, and no authority
seems TO be exercised over our guar
dams Of the peace by the Mayor or any
one else.

Sudderly a bulldog. with hanging
chops and blood-rimmed eyes, clears the
barrier that separates the ring from the
crowd with one prodigious leap.
The dog belongs to farmer in the
neighborhood. Dog and man stand re-
garding each other defiantly.
Il will wager" declares the man,
that without the use Of my hands. l
will strangle this dog with my teeth"
Taken, replies the farmer.
And on all sides bets are exchanged.
Awakipg from her reverie at last,
even Henriette makes a wager with some
one.
Between the man and the dog an afro
cious conflict wages.
The dog begins the attack by hurting
himself on the man-cat With a hoarse,
fierce bark. to which the other responds
with shril! Kisses.
The man receives the assault Of his
adversary, kneeling. his hands tied and
protruding head, like snail.
The bulldog buries his fangs in the
mans neck, tearing the fl ssh from it.
But the man-cat, who may not use his
hands, rises, bends, rolls about and
shakes himself furiously, releasing him
self from the enemy, to which he deliv-
ere violent kick.
Blood flows, the crowd applauds, and
the dog, that his master urges on. re-
turns to the charge. more bloc thirsty
and vicious. The man again kneels,
Redeemed with blood, and white with
rage.
Enough enough ~ cry few timid
voices.
mo no !" shouts the excited crowd.
There are bets as to the finish
The struggle is renewed. Again the
bulldog is hoored with terrible kick,
and the man-cat groveling in the dirt,
shivering like seal. launches at his
adversary's head, and tears his nostrils
frightfully.
In return, bowling with pain. the dog
springs Upon his enemy, burying his
teeth in his arm. The crowd applauds
more loudly, and new bets are scored:
81 bet on the mani bet on the dog"
The man-cst's wife is now thoroughly
aroused from her stupor. Bending for
ward, with pale lips, she watches the
combstants, waving her handkerchief.
With hideous face, eyes protruding
from their sockets, and lacerated neck,
the man-cat strains, ineff fectually, to
shake of the dog, whose teeth are. as it
were. nailed into his arm.
With despairing cry. he rolls in the
dirt. dragging the dog down and crush
ing him with his weight, giving semb-
lance with the informed, confused
bodies, as Of some apocalyptic, bleeding
creature with the head OF a man and
the body of dog.
"Hurrah hurrah - vociferates the
breathless crowd, shrieking like de-
mons,
And the bets increased.
Suddenly the dog lessons his grip on
the mans arm and, with indescribable
fury, starts gnawing his back, chest and
abdomen. The fur that forms but mis-
cradle protection, is in shreds. The
blood flows in streams.
Victory Victory - cry all those who
have bet on the dog.
All seems loet for the mana macs of
quivering, torn flesh.

The Man-Cat.

loi lht 4hiioi' pN
We are at London, in one Of the sor-
did suburbs, where the man-cat is CIV
ing his performances 10 the open air.
The following is description Of him ::
A shock OF red hair. surrounded by two
erect, pointed ears. Under low fore
head, green, luminous eyes, a semblance
OF nose, and, over a wide mouth. deco
rated with sharp fangs, an indescribably
peculiar moustache OF coarse bristlee. A
supple nervous body, with feline undu-
lations, nails like claws and. arranged
over his back, fur skin artistically
tiger-striped. This is tasted around the
waist and body with straps.
Around the enclosure pressed curl
GUS crowd. In the circle stood black
wooden box, upon which was seated a
young woman with sweet. melancholy
eyes; Henriette, the man-cat's wife.
While a consumptive trombone an
nounces the performance, a bizarre
dwarf, with an enormous beard, and at
tired in Hungarian costume. is anus
ing the crowd with his diabolical grim
aces and extravagaEt buffoonery.
HeDriette never ceases to watch him
and smiles with caressing sadness. As
for the dwarf. he has eyes only for the
man-cats wife, and seems to perform
only for her approval, laying at her fest
all the popular triumphs gained in his
comedy role.
At length the trombone is silent, and
the dwarf. leaping like toad, salutes
the audience with final grimace. Then
Henriette rises slowly and opens the
box, from which seven or eight mon
strous rats jump forth, running around
the arena mad with fright.
The man-cat quickly places himself on
all fours and. bristling his fur, emitting
fierce miaulings, pounces upon the rats
and breaks the backs with one snap Of
his formidable jaw.
Sometimes rat turns, jumps on his
body, runs up his shoulder and. jump
ing at his throat, lacerates the flesh and.
at the streaming blood. the crowd
presses closer, shouts, laughs and ap-
plsuds.
The last rodent. with broken back,
lies motionless.
"Bravo, the man cat bravo! bravo
Seated on the empty box, still smiling
at the dwarf. who, with his long. .'bony
fingers, caresses the beard that covers
his breast. Henriette seems totally indif-
ferent to the abject combat that 80
excites the crowd.
Henriette is the passion, the life Of
the man cat One fierce winter evening,
alone, abandoned, dying Of hunger, she
threw herself, despairing. into the River
Thames. The man-cat, emerging from
a tavern, plunged into the waves, swan
toward the young girl. waited till she
rose, and, seizing her by the waist with
his teeth, drew her alive onto the bank,
sustaining her like child in his Her
culean arms, and carried her co his
cabin, where he revived and cared for
her, watching over her till morning.
For three months Henriette never left
the chamber Of her preserver, who
guarded her with paternal tenderness.
till, one day. having realized small
heritage in the country, he asked ber
hand in marriage.
Being alone in the world, Henrietta
accepted, and, today. all that the man
cat earns is for her. He obeys her like
a queen, and adorns her like an idol.

An Editorial Howl.

Nine months ago printing paper
was selling at $35 ton. Now the
price is from $50 to $40. The In
ternational Paper Company-a gi-
ant trust-controls the output of
all the large pulp and paper mills,
and publishers are squeezed to the
extent that they are being ruined
financially. Congress has been
asked to repeal the duty on paper
and pulp. Bills have been intro
duced, but they slumber in Dal-
zell's committees. The little Dan
dy jim congressman from Pitts
burg sits down on the publishers
appeal and tells the newspaper men
to be patient and relief will come
after awhile in the ordinary course
Of business. That's comforting,
isn't it, After the monopoly vul-
lures have eaten all our flesh our
bones can be set up for grinning
skeletons, and sold TO the doctors.
The publishers Of this country
should unite and go down to Wash
ingtOn and make their demands
known in such IA way that our 50,
GOO year men would give heed.
Editors have largely been instru-
mental in making the statesmen
representing us at Washington,
and some of them have been man
ufacturcd out of pretty poor ma.
terial. They should be given to
understand that they will be held
accountable, individually and col.
lectively, for the passage of a bill
taking the duty off pulp and pa
per; also the passage of an anti
trust law with teeth in it.-Mead-
vile, Pa, Democrat.
