BOY IS SUBJECTED
TO ABOMINATION
NIiddle-Aged Being in Shape of Man
Commits An Awful OF
Tense Here.
SMALL nov IS his VICTIM.
Fellow is Now Behind the Bars Ia
Await the Action OF tho =,
Grand Jury.

A man who makes your picture
while you wait, weighing about $50
pounds and wearing high hat and
a Prince Albert coat, giving his
name as Count st. German and ad-
dress as Syracuse, N. Y, and alleged
to be an oculist artist and middle
aged man, is in the county jail 20
await the action of the grand jury
upon a grave offense.
The fellow was taken into custody
by Chief Of Police Richard Scott and
Policeman Nicholas Whyte at
O'Clock Wednesday evening at his
stopping place and rushed OF to jail,
but not without physical resistance
on his part, which required more
than the usual means by the police
Boy Pilots Him.
German apparently came here to
operate privilege show at the fair
and two days ago ran across an
eleven-year-old boy and employed
him to pilot him around the city.
Wednesday morning at about Ii
o'clock the man took the boy to his
room and kept him there until
o'clock in the afternoon, when by
clever ruse on the part of the latter,
the boy escaped and the authorities
were notified.
During the time the man had
the boy in his room he subjected
him to
An Abomination
known as the worst of all vices, and
in order to accomplish the hendish
purpose whipped the boy without
mercy.
Indignation is thoroughly aroused
against the man and expressions
have been numerous that lynching
is not too good for the fellow. It
is believed the grand jury will act
promptly in the matter and that
German will be on the road to the
penitentiary in another week to
serve long time, or a punishment
more severe may be meted out to
him.
The boy viii likely appear before
the grand jury Monday morning,
when that body reconvenes.

Story of a Clever Jackdaw.

In small cottage i'll Herefordshire
there lived a family who owned a very
large but clever jackdaw which was
noted for Its very witty sayings. One
day the jackdaw saw the lid of the
stewpot partly off, so thinking he
should like meat dinner he went out
and caught a frog and put it in the
boiling water in the stewpot, which
had in some pieces of beef. After this
the jackdaw went quietly back to his
perch and waited till dinner time All
went we'll till the cook began to share
the dinner out before the family
Every time she pulled a piece Of
meat out of the pot the jackdaw said
That's not mine that's not mine" till
at last the cook pulled out the frog
when he exclaimed In very triumph
ant voice. That's NINE that's mine"
The shock nearly made the guests faint
away, but nevertheless the jackdaw
got his meat dinner while the others
did without for change. London An

A Thinu of Many Nanaa.

The Thames has been the cause OF
much controversy. Its name has been
variousy stated as Tameses, Tamese.
Tamises (at the juncture of the Isis
and Tame, near Dorchester, Tamlsa,
Tamesa, Thamisia Thamesls and final
ly Isis (where 1t flows between the OK.
fordshlre and the Buckinghamshire
shores. Thus at Oxford it is still of
ten called the Isis until 1t receives the
shallow river Tame Just below Doches-
ter, from which point it is called
Thames. Historians trace this error
to an early attempted division of the
Latin word Tamesis into two words,
Tame ess or Tame isis, suggested per
haps by the existence of the Tame In
Bucklnghamshire. The Saxons called
it the Thames, ancient maps and docu-
ments designating it Thamesis Fluvius.

OF Bishop Short, who held the see of
st. Asaph. many curious stories are
told. Occasionally he put questions to
candidates for ordination that appar-
nelly had no connection with the dis
charge of their parochial duties They
tested probably their wit or tact two
necessary qualifications to public men,
but nothing more. One such question
proposed by the bishop was the fol-
lowing; (Which has the greatest num-
Der of legs. Il cat or no cat?"
AS might be expected, this created a
litter, but the bishop would not take a
laugh as the answer. and consequently
he repeated the question and desired
some one to solve the problem. At last
one Of the candidates, smiling, said, ~
should think my lord, cat"
NO" retorted the bishop; there you
are wrong, for cat has four legs. and
no cat has five" -London Telegraph.
