field, 1 guess, and it mlgnt have been
that times were tight. AT any rate, it
took more talk to raise a dime thar I
had ever given before for a dollar. I
hadn't been sleeping on hair mattresses on
the way up from Cincinnati, but three
nights in the public Railways of Cleve-
land made me lop-si-ed and downhearted
/ finally decided to do a little collecting
for the heather, and L went up to Euclid
avenue and braced right up to one of the
finest houses on that famous thorough
fare. The cook was about to slam the
door against my toes when l put out the
restraining han and said:
Not this afternoon, Minervah. l am
no tramp, striking the house for cold
hash, but a missionary from the far off
Fiji Islands,. Just clip along and tell your
mistress that Elder Schemerhorn and his
flock of 5000 cannibals await her pleas
ure.'
1T was a bluff that worked. and after
a little delay, 1 was escorted up stairs
and received by IN old lady about 60
years old. She was a widow and a grand
ma, and goodness was written all over her
face. When 1 made my bow to her, she
put on her spectacles and said:
" Elder Schemerhorn, what is it about
c~annibals?'
81 am trying to get 'em to take beef
hash and salt pork instead says 1, but
it takes money to buy meat. That's why
l am canvassing for cash subscriptions
Do these c~annibals eat uo all kinds
of folks
All kinds, ma'am, but of course they
have a preference. When a rolly polly
white baby with its kneecaps buried in fat
comes their way. they take more interest
than in a lean bodied old woman VINO
is wearing her ribs for a corset
What is their object in eating people?'
she asked, after a moments thought.
Its just their frolicsome way in the
first place, ma'am, and in the next they
have never learned how comforting NUT
ton stew is. l a been laboring for the
last ten years to bring about a change,
and l am glad to say that the signs are
hopeful
HOY do they generally cook their VIC
tims?'
h go in for roasts altogether
And, Elder Schemerhorn,' she went
on after a bit, what sort of people are
these cannibals outside of the one thing?
Are they respectable and well behaved?'
Above reproach, ma'am.' 1 says. No
one ever caught one of them in a lie,
and, as for honesty, / would leave my
wallet hanging TO the limb of a tree for
weeks and weeks. and nobody would ever
touch it. It's very unfortunate tina they
should run of on a tangent and peril
their natural reputation. but all my hum
bic efforts are being put forth to show
them the error of their ways
Yes. it is easy to see that you are a
good man and one willing TO work for
nothing and board himself. These Fijians
must love you or they would eat you?'
They do love me, ma'am and they re-
alize that with me gone there would be
nobody to decide whether a flush beats
a full house at draw poker,
Now, elder. about the people who are
roasting-do they raise much fuss about
it,
Not very much AS a general hin

provide quarters for invalid cats, dogs
and other small animals are as we'll
kept as the most eXacting master Or
mistress could desire. In performing
operations the same consideration for
possible suffering is shown as is the
case when medical science operates
On suffering humanity; in small opera
tons cocaine is used as a local an
aesthetic and in the more complicated
operations the patient is under the in
f1uence of ether.
A horse, for example, about to I'M
dergo a evere operation illustrates on
a large scale exactly the process by
which a human being is prepared for
the same emergency. He is first made
as comfortable as possible. A bed of
clean straw is spread, two feet thick,
in the middle of the operating room;
upon this he is made to lie down, at
tendants holding his feet firmly with
ropes to prevent any possible struggle
and another holding his head and
quieting the animals nerves with hand
and voice. The nose bag, c%onical, as
in the case of the smaller apparatus
used in etherizing man, is placed over
his nostrils, the ether is poured upon
a sponge and the animal after a few
deep inhalations is utterly oblivious Of
any further suffering.
1T is interesting also to learn that
in these operations the animals conduct
themselves very much like men and
women. Granting the same operation,
one creature will approach it with stole
Indifference and another will object
with equal vehemence; after an opera
ton the patients exhibit the same re-
lief of spirits as do their fellow suf-
ferers endowed with more intelligence,
expressed much in the same fashion by
a renewed interest in the pleasures of
life, which, in their case, means an
immediate stretching Of necks toward
the manager or food tray.

Yesterday this town got tired of so
much talk, and sartin citizens set out

mo man can say how important a part
the money question will play in the next

question are constantly presenting them
selves and the Democratic party ought
not to recede from its position on this
question, although other questions may
be of more Importance for the time being.

ed to the Kansas City platform have no
positive or definite remedy for any evil. -.
Asked if he would be a candidate for
the presidential nomination again in 1904.

that I am a candidate for no office. How
