MARY AND THE MEAT TRUST.

Mary had little lamb,
With mint sauce on the side;
When Mary saw the Meat Trusts bill,
1t shocked her so she cried.
Mary had little veal
A outlet, nicely broied.
Her papa, to pay for that veal,
All morning sorely toiled.
Mary had a little steak
porterhouse. quite small.
And when the bill came in, she sighed,
'No dress for me next fall"
Mary had little roast
As juicy as could be-
And Mary's papa simply went
Right into bankruptcy.
Mary isn't eating meat;
She has a better plan;
She vows it's ladylike to be
A vegetarian.

GIRL TO EL0PE,

Quarryviile, Pa, June ga min
lster, with clothing torn and both
eyes blackened, being dragged
through the streets by a constable,
followed by an excited crowd OF
citizens, with cries of Get a rope
and hang the preacher" WAS the
scene witnessed in this usually
peaceahle borough about II O'Clock
last night.
Some time ago, the Rev. o. c.
Burt pastor of the Quarryville cir
cult OF the Methodist Epscopal
Church and married man with
two children, become infatuated
with Anna, the pretty 20 year old
daughter of Franklin Shenk. also
of this place. His attentions were
reclprocated, despite the protests of
her parents. The matter reached IL
crisis last night, when the. father
first assaulted Burt, and then had a
warrant sworn out for his arrest on
the charge Of disorlerly conduct.
Last week Burt prevailed upon
his wife and children to go to At
lantlc City to spend the summer.
Since his family's absence, Burt
has vlHiSel the Shenh home fre-
qnently and, it is alleged, proposed
to his sweetheart that they elope
and get married. But the plans
were frustrated by Il discovery in
Miss Shenk's bedroom on Saturday.
1t was a letter from Burt, in which
plans for the elopement were made
1t included II railroad schedule and
number and street of New York
hotel, where she WIS to meet her
lover about july
The elder Shenk confronted his
daughter with the letter, demand
ing an explanation, which she re
fused point blank to give. He then
summoned the minister to the house
Burt confessed his love for the yirl,
saying that he would have her "at
any cost He further declared he
was not legally married; that his
wife was his cousin, and il the eyes
OF the law he was III position t.
marry again.
This so incensed Shenk that he
ordered the preacher from the house
but he stubbornly refused to 20 un-
less the girl accompanied him
Shenk then proceeded to eject him.
A lively hist fight ensued, in which
the reverend gentleman's clothing
was torn, and his eyes blackensl
one being completely shut. He was
finally kicked from the porch into
the street.
When Burt was later arrested
and led to the Magistrates office,
an angry crowd of villagers follow.
ed at his heels, jeering him.
Frequentthreats of lynching We're
made, but the constable kept the
crowd at bay, and landed him safe
ly in the Magistrates office. Burt
was released on bail, pending a
hearing on Tuesday evening.
