“ Satan nt last In harness” should not
be construed as meaning that the cloven

spicuously in Dante's Inferno has been
suddenly halted in his travels to and

of Dougherty County, Georgia, who al
lowed himself to be hitched to a plow
and did the work of his deceased mule.
Sam had owned a mouse-colored mule
for a number of years, hut hard work
had hurried It to the bone factory, and
money was not plentiful with Sam, and

HE CRACKS A WHIP.
B u t H e Is
a
P h e n o m e n a l A r t is t In th e Use
o f th e Lasli.
A decided sensation has been created
iu Vienna by a man who probably stands
alouo in the world in his particular line
of performance. This gentleman's name
is Piskslug, and he is an Austro-Hun
garian by birth. He is uu expert, or,
rather, a phenomenal artist, iu the use
of the whip.
The first thing he does is to take a
long lashed, stout handled whip iu each
hand, and, with orchestral accompani
ment, proceed to crack or snap them at
a terrific rate. The sound made by his
whips in this manner is graduated from
a noise like a rifle report to the soft click
of a billiard ball. It makes a curious sort
of music and serves to show how he
can regulate the force of each stroke.
More interest, however, is evinced
when he eeizes a vicious looking whip
with au abnormally long lash. It is pro
vided with a very heavy handle of medi
um length. This is his favorite toy, and
what lie can do with it is really won
derful He first gives an idea of what
fearful force there lies in a whip lasli iu
the bauds of uu expert.
A large frame, over which is stretched
a calf or sheep skin, is brought on the
stage. This is marked with dots of red
paiut. The man with the whip steps up,
and, swinging the lash round bis head,
lets fly at the calfskin. With every blow
he actually pulls a piece right out from
the leather, leaving 11 clean cut hole.
These pieces are distributed among
the audience to show that there is no
trickery about the performance. After
this he takes a frame with three shelves.
On these there are a dozen or more of
medium sized apples lying very close to
gether and provided with large numbers.
Any one iu the audience may desiguate
SAM SATAN IN THE PLOW-
which apple he wishes struck, and the
mule, and did the work in a masterly unerring lash snatches it out like a flash.
A still more difficult feat is the snap
manner that created jealousy among

When Mr. Leicht, of the Paepcke-

the dog would pay for itself a hundred
times over ami save property worth
$.1.000. Such, however, is the fact, and
had it not been for the sagacity of Jock
twenty-five horses belonging to Mr.
Leiclit’s firm would have lost their
live« in the tire which partially destroy
ed its lumber-yard on Tuesday night.
Tlie horses were in a stable iu the rear
o f the building in which the tire was
discovered, and though the night
watchman cut their halters they would
not leave the building. Jock seemed
to understand the situation, and, rush
ing into the stalls, drove the animals
out one by one. lie harked ami bit at
the heels of the frightened animals,
and did better work than a score of
men. One of the animals after he was
outside ran hack into the burning sta
ble and was followed by Jock. But the
efforts of the dog were of no avail; the
horse was •’tire mad" and was burned
to death.
Jock is four yeai*s old and is the
nightly
companion of Watchman
Arndt. The dog discovered the fire
and hy harking attracted the atten
tion of the watchman. When his work
of rescue was complete he took up a
position by the yard gate, and neither
streams o f water nor showers of sparks
would dislodge him from his place.
Jock is of pure Scotch breed, and, ac
cording to his owner, Tuesday night’s
occurrence was not the first exhibition

characters away from the yards, and
