 in Laborersy Stewpots.

How do you Hkt your cats-roasted, fried, en casserole, fricaseed or in you lap? Or don't you like them at all? These questions all lead up to the reproduction of a story, on the author ity of a veracious citizen of Brooklyn, that a gang of foreign laborers, i'm ported to do some construction work in that vicinity, are doing with family cats what some tribes of the Filipino people make a practice of doing with such dogs as fall into their hands eating them.
 animals, but some people like them, and those who do over Brooklyn way will be wise to keep close tabs on them for the time being. The Brooklyn man stated Tuesday as a fact that these laborers are catching and eating the cats. which is interesting if not appe- tizing information And further, that one of these laborers invited a. casual visitor to the shack where the men live to have some of stew that he had just made, offering the visitor a leg, which was accepted Inquiry as to it's being a piece of rabbit brought forth this startling reply: Rabbit! No, cat; we catch him round here"
 One Brooklyn man who owned three cats has had them stolen, and the in- formation is that a considerable num- Der have been taken for food.

Fiendish Cruelty to Little Doe-Tied by Picture Wire to White Birch and Left to Hana-Case for Humane Society.

Henry Bigelow and William Long, while driving out to Charles Carver s. two miles west of the village, Sunday when about one-half mile from Mir Caryer's house heard a dog whining as if in distress. They hitched their bGrse and went over the fence into the lot where they found a dog hanging by q piece of wire used for hanging pictures It was around his neck and tied to white birch The dogs hind feet just touched the ground The person who did the deed evidently thought that the birch was strong enough to lift him clear from the ground and thus strangle him The men ioosened the dog and led him 10 the road and then took the wire from around his neck. The dog played around them for a few minutes and then started off and probably went home. It is believed that the guilty party is known and an investigation will follow. Such a case fs one that the humane society will take up. The dog was 8 small black and tan nc 1Tfd

George H. Call has received a letter containing the information that g. horse which he shipped from DanieIsou four weeks ago to Manchester, Tenn, has arrived at that far off point in good condition What may be consid- cred a remarkable feature in connec- ton with the sending of the horse by freight is that in the month that il was in transit it did not get an ounce of food or a single drink of water, be- ing sent without a. man in charge; but in spite of these facts the horse arriv ed in Tennessee without having lost a none the worse for such an experience. Incidentally. and for any doubtfoI readers benefit. it may be mentioned that this horse was a display horse dapple gray model that has been in MT.

So it is possible for horse to exSst with the right kind of a horse This horse in question was considerable valuable, too, and was sold through an adver- tisement in trade paper
