Hail overcome by the reeking odors oi t lie place she had just left, she lean ed against the area railing, oblivious of the chattering, shrieking group of small children playing in the gutter across the street. Presently their shrill shouts at tracted her attention, and she watched them intently. They seem ed to be playing some game. On the top of a garbage box, standing at the curb line, sat a wee and dirty faced boy, attired in a pink under shirt, a blue calico skirt and a vest of his father’s, at least twenty sizes too large for his gaunt little shoul ders. All about him in the gutter were gathered a dozen or more lit tle girls. Each of them was armed with some instrument of torture. A majority carried pins and needles, one or two hairpins and the lender and largest a long hat pin. They were “ taking turns" sticking their respective weapons into the tender leg of the baby of the garbage can, “ The little fiends 1” said Miss Edith aloud and rushed across the street to stop the torture. As she came near she heard the girl with the hat pin cry out, “ I went in de furderist dat time!” “ You wicked, wicked children!” cried Miss Edith. “ What do you mean by abusing that poor little child?” The “ poor little child” on top of the garbage box looked up at Miss Edith and grinned complacently through his dirt. The rest giggled aggressively. “ Don’t you know you might lame him for life?” she demanded. “ Aw, go an,” said the girl with the hat pin finally. “ It don’t hurt him none. He’s got a plasker cask on his leg. See?”— Chicago Trib une. A H ig h C la s s C onvict. A minister was in the county jail having a talk with the prisoners. He is a kind hearted old gentleman, and he wandered about shaking hands with the unfortunates, at the same time giving each a word of encouragement. Finally the minister reached the top tier, and there he found darky doing some work along the range. As it was Sunday, ihe min ister asked him why he was work ing on that day. The darky re plied that the work had to he done and he thought he would do it when he had a good opportunity. “ How long will you he here?” asked the man in ministerial garb. “ Well, I dunno, boss,” replied the colored man, continuing his work. “ Do you think it will be long?” “ No, I guess not, boss.” “ Are you serving time for disor derly conduct?” The darky drew himself up to his full height and replied, with considerable dignity: “ No, sah. I’zc no common criminal. I ’ze a high way robber.” — Pittsburg Press. T a lk . Talk is the ultimate basis of po lite society. Money is the main thing, of course, but only as it talks. In business or politics talk is a mere utility; in love, a superfluity. But in polite society talk rises to the plane of the Boze arts. It is a boor who talks when he has something to say. The true gentle studies never to have any thing to say and is thus able to talk freely all the time without fear of violating the proprieties. Only scandal mongers are suffer ed to talk shop in polite, society. Talk is cheap, but a couple of eeks of diamonds skillfully worn o wonders overcoming the effect of this.— Life. S A B arg ain . IS TH E CIR CU IT COURT OF THE MOST DEADLY OF SNAKES. B ra z ilia n Reptile W h o se Bite m o st In v a ria b ly Fatal. It 8 TATE OF OREGON, IS AND FOR Magazine A t; The fer-de-lance is one of th« most deadly poisonous snakes in the world. It is common in Brazil and some of the West Indian islands. The head is flat and triangular, the length five to seven feet. A horny spike at the end of the tail rasp* against hard objects. The bite ii almost instantly fatal, and even when immediate death is averted serious and eventually fatal trou bles may set in. The creature which fears the monster least is a brave cat. See ing a snake, she at once carries het kittens to a place of safety, then boldly advances to the encounter She will walk to the very limit ol the serpent’ s striking range and be- in to feint, teasing him, startling in», trying to draw his blow. A moment more and the triangulai head, hissing from the coil, flashes swift as if moved by wings. Bui swifter still the stroke of the armed paw dashes the horror aside, fling ing it mangled into the dust, say* the San Francisco Call. Nevertheless pussy docs not yet dare to spring. The enemy, still alive, has almost instantly reformed his coil, but she is again in front of him, watching, vertical pupil against vertical pupil. Again the dashing stroke; again the beautiful coun tering; again the living death it hurled aside, and now the scaled skin is deeply torn, one eye socket has ceased to flame. Once more the stroke of the serpent; once more the light, quick, cutting blow. But the trigonocephalus is blind, is stu pefied. Before he can attempt to coil pussy has leaped upon him, nailing the horrible flat head to the ground with her two sinewy paws. Now let him lash, writhe, strive tc strangle her. In vain. He will nev er lift his head. An instant more and he lies stilL The keen white teeth of the cat have severed the vertebra just behind the triangulai skull. f I T il E THUS TY OF OOOj . | G. E.

P aten ts An aeronaut at a county fair had made rather an unlucky ascension. His balloon had gone high enough, but the wind had carried him a mile or two farther away than he antici pated, and the car jn descending had become entangled in the top of a tree in a village street and spilled him out. He struck the ground with some violence. A crowd quickly gathered about his prostrate form. “ Stand back and give him air!” exclaimed three or four at once. The aeronaut was not seriously hurt. He raised himself feebly t - a sitting poature. “ A ir?” he echoed in a tone of deep disgust “ Don’t you think T’v. had air enough In the last ten rn'iv u te s r $5 Per Ton NOTICE FOR BIDS FOR ADUST) CONTRA!
