SEARS, 1.-THE TAFFY MAN"

DR.. W. H. Sears, @the Taffy Man.
was the lecturer Of the evening and
"More Taffy and Less Epitaphy" was
his subject. More "taffy," more wit
and humor, more fine sentiments and
good sense were never combined in a
single lecture. 1t is simply impossible
to describe or to do Justice to DR..
Sears, and it is no exaggeration to say
that he is the greatest popular lee
turer on the American platform. A
man Of great mind and great heart,
he fairly bubbles over with humor and
eloquence, playing at ease upon every
emotion Of his hearers. So rapidly
and spontaneously do his flashes Of
wit come and 50 quickly does he pass
from the humorous To the serious that
the hearer is sps!Ibound.
81 praise you," was the text Of the
lecture and it was an inspiring plea
for more more flowers for the living
than for the dead; familiar theme
but never so forcibly impressed as BY
DR.. Sears. The greatest need Of the
world today is sympathy among men
and for the words Of praise and ap-
proval which inspire men to greater
effort. To see the good in men and
recognize II, to commend rather than
to criticize, to disseminate gladnesl

Cat, Mink and Snake Fight.

From the New York American.
 Herman Cranford, a farmer of Clinton, N. J., who has been troubled with chick en thieves, was on the lookout for them early yesterday, and was rewarded by seeing a large white and black spotted cat steathily approach his chicken yard. As he about to shoot it large black mink jumped out of the run and tackled the cat
 It was a deadly combat. The cat was slowly gaining the mastery when a large black snake glided out of the coop and joined in the fight.
 Cranford says it was the greatest tri- cornered fight he ever witnessed, One could not tell at times whether the two quadrupeds were fighting the serpent or whether it was a free-for-all. The snake, however, finally eoiled itself around both animals and their struggles gradually be- came less.
 A slight movement, which showed that there was still some scratching going on, was kept up for time, then all was still.
 When Cranford examined the bunch he found the two dead. After he called sev- eral neighbors to see the odd sight and protect him from any accusation of ma ture falking." he buried the corpses.
