USED PUPPY FOR POLISHING.
Novel Expedient of a BootbIacY< Who
 Was of a Progressive Turn ..5~ of MIRd

An Italian expert in the art of shining shoes has been arrested in Atlantic City for using fox terrier puppies as part of his polishing kit Despite his pro test that the process did not hurt the dogs, he was fined, and the luckless ob- jects of his alleged cruelty taken from him, says Golfers Weekly. Strips of flannel are usually employed to give the finishing gloss of the perfect patent leather polish" or "oil shine" produc- ing scintillatsng effect pleasing both to the operator and customer The Italian artist of Atlantic City, seeking to triumph over competition and in- prove on the routine system of polish ing, seized new idea and fox terrier pup, simultaneously The experiment was success, the dog survived it, and the demands of trade necessitated the employment of several pups, in order to avoid wearing out the original victim. The system involved clutching the dog firmly by the neck and hind legs, and drawing him to and fro across the ex- panse of leather. The Italian martyr, in the conflict between progress and con- servatism, said in his defense: "No hurta da pup. Oil in da skin good for da leather, maka da gran shine. Fine business"

 Seat hog.gery seems to be a disease pretty well established in many Anferi- can cities. It is pernicious to the peace of the community and a serious menace to good manners. The man afflicted with seat hoggery can always be picked out He applies footban tao tics that he may have seat ill the cars. With a rush he ploughs through a crowd, tramples women and children
 under foot, and plumps himself down with such velocity that the aoise is heard anywhere within thirty feet. Scat hogs are so numberous nowadays that, at any crowded place or corner, the mere matter of boarding q street car has become a kind of riot.-St l Louis Republic.

AN EFFECTIVE GAG.
How an Annoying Male Was Nept frOm Rasping the Afrvv1th
 His Bray.

The proper study of mankind Is man, but no one who reads the fol- lowing story from the New York Tri- bune would care to deny that there is something to be said on the side of the elective system. The story was 8 fa- vorite reminiscence of former mer- chant of New York, now dead.
 T was once on gunning trip with some of my friends" he used to say "and in field close to the house where we slept donkey was pas tured. The animal kept us awake with his praying. My friends, do what they would, could not put stop to his noise
 T happened to know great deal about dorkeys. They abound in my native province of Posen. So said to my friends, I can stop the animals noise, so that tonight he won't bray qnce.'
 They did not believe me, but that evening I treated the donkey for his complaint. He was silent all night The next morning my friends said they wanted to see the donkey, then they would be convinced. They ex- pected to find him dead. They found him alive A stone was tied to his tail. That was all.
 They could not understand how he had been kept from praying, and they asked me to explain.
 It is perfectly simple said I, to anyone who has studied the donkey. An animal never brays without rais- ing his tail to the level of his body. So long as it hangs down he will not make sound. My heavy stone, there. fore, served the purpose of gag"
