a little woman, pdbrly clad, who was

that he is unsafe, that his srenuousness' would prob

Human Contradictions.

"A man who will brutally beat his
aged mother because she refused TO
give him money to purchase liquor is
supposed to be so low that there is
nothing that will appeal to him or
rouse in him a spark of kindness" said
a deputy iailer at the County Jail a
few nights ago during a discussion Of
the habits Of the criminals and law
breakers, "but 1 saw a man of that
caIiber do a little thing recently that
caused me to think quite little Of
him.
This man had been occupying cell
here for six months because he black
ened the eyes of his old mother for
refusing to give him money to buy
drinks with. The morning he was re-
leased the first thing he did was to
go across the street and enter a saloon,
where 1 presume he bought a few
drinks When he came out he started
to walk up the street. but stopped and
watched a man who was brutally beat
ing a superannuated horse that was
hitched to a load that was too heavy
for the animal to haul. / raised the
window and plainly heard my late pris-
oner tell the driver not TO hit that
horse again. The driver forcefully con-
signed him to hades and again struck
the poor animal. Well, quicker than
can tell it the man who beat his moth
er was upon the driver. He pulled him
off the wagon and kicked and struck
him for five minutes and then left him
bleeding and sore on the cobbles. And
then he patted in a kindly way the
quivering hanks of the ancient steed

TALK OF THE TOWN
AND~E0R S or RHE
TIMEG ~
Il Poor Beginning.

A number OF humane citizens Of the
capital CITY of Mexico are experiencing
difficulties in forming society for the
prevention of cruelty to animals. Amer
lean residents had for long time been
talking of forming an organization Tor
the relief of the sufferings of their
dumb friends, and had at last succeed
ed in interesting several prominent
Mexicans in the project A meeting
was called and the scheme was thor
oughIy discussed. The consensus OF
opinion was that a humane society
should be formed. 1t was thought that
recognition of the work by the authoTi-
ties would be an excellent advertise
ment of the new organization and that
it would also awaken the interest of the
masses. A committee was appointed to
wait on the Mayor of the City of Mex
leo. The Mayor welcomed his visitors
with open arms and listened attentively
to their outline of the proposed work
At last he stated that he fully ap-
proved of the scheme and thought that
it would prove of immense benefit to
the municipality. He was then in
formed that there was a lack of suffi-
cient funds to give the work proper
start. He knitted his brows for mo-
ment and then exclaimed. Il have IT,
gentlemen; we will have a grand bull
fight-the best that the city has seen in
years. The proceeds will be used for
the benefit of the new society"
The humane citizens have decided to
gather the necessary funds by soliciting
contributions.

LIKES THE VIEW.
Mr.. MacauIy says the view from Cotton
wood Hill is the grandest he ever saw.

Joseph Macauly, representing
the publishers of the New Ameri-
cahized Encyclopedia Britannica,
was doing business in our village
Monday. Mr.. Macauly came
around by Westlake from Nezperce
and down over the mountain to
this place. While here he inform
ed us that during all his travels,
which have extended over great
part of the United States, he has
seen no prettier sight than greeted
his eyes when he first viewed the
prairie on commencing the descent
of Cottonwood hill. He said that
the prairie, with its fields Of green
and yellow grain stretching away
for miles on every side, and the
background of mountains was a
scene that beggared description and
the sight was we'll worth the hard
trip across the mountain to any
one who had never before viewed
it.
