ATVBAIi HIMTORV—THE BARV
(Dotroi) Free Press.)
What animal is this?
That is a baby. He ia now about
three years old, and at the wickedest
point of hia early eareer.
vVhat country does the baby mofctly
inhabit?
He can be foond in every inhabited
country ,on the globe, the same as mos
qnitos and bo\la.
C.in they be tained?
Yea, quite easy. After a little judi
cious dircipline they oeaae to struggle
Mid become subservient to the will of
man.
Do« a baby eat grass?
Yrs, or anything else. They swallow
pockul knives, thimbles, buttohs, apools,
or any other obj»ct a little, smaller than
a tea-cup. If offered milk they seldom
refuse it.
Do they graze during the day, or only
at night?
They are alwaya a graying, paving not
tlie least heed to the hoar. When not
actually rating tbey generally give ut
terance to a peculiar cry. Strong men
often jump out, of bed at midnight in
the coldest weather when bearing that
cy-
What meaning is attached to the
cry?
Man of deepeat thought bare agreed
that it signifioa to wake up the neigh*
borhood and have aome fun.
Of what bebefit to mankind ia a do
mesticated baby? .
They are of no earthly aeooant for the
first few years, but by and by they can
slide dows hill on a cellar door and
carry articles oat of the bouse and trado
for a wooden aword, or loae them in
the grate.
l>o TOO know of any ins tan oe where
the baby baa attacked tbe houaehold and
killed or injured any one?
Such instancea have been related by
saoh Ontasut naturaliata aa George
Itaanola Train and Texas Jack, but we
dou't.tMt muck faith in then. How*
ever, if fhe baby waa maliciously pro
voked, there's no knowing what it might
do.
Are they a healthy animal?
No; on the contrary, no druggist
eonld make enough profit in a year to
boy fcim a |*ir of Artio overshoes bnt,
for the nreeenoe of a baby in every bousa
bold. There ia hardly an hour in the day
that the baby doe* not demand peper*
mint, paregoric, ipicao, or something else
coating money.
Wbnt machinery ia made nee of to
compel the baby to take a dose of castor
oil?
There m esversl patent machines for
the purpose, bnt most people follow the
rule of knocking him senesleoa, and get*
ting the done into hi* month before he
recovers.
la the bald-beaded baby more domeetis
than others?
. Not a bit- kicks around after the
same fashion, bbd has even a worse time
figbti»g fliee and mosqnitos.
WfeatmuJWdo (hey seem to nee.
for?
A base iron ia tbeir first nhoiee, bnt
they havo n bea*y leaning toward the
sound of the stove-handl* Knocking the
none of the pitcher with the emptying?
• in it.
This ia all abort the baby. Take
anothpr look at him, for neat week
we ahail write about eonse otber reptile.

One of the officials ot Justice alley
was lately waited on by a man who saiit
his name was Smith and who had vol
unteered the further information that hi*
was about to get married. The onl)
stumbling block was the fact that he
would not agree to leave off drinking.
He had come to consult His Honor on |
that point and see what was advisa*
ble.
"Well, I'd promise, I guess," replied
the Justice. "It's a bad habit any bow,
and the sooner the belter."
"Well, I guess I will," answered the
man and he went out. In an hour he
returned and said:
" What do you think ? After I prom
ised that she wanted me ty promise to
Wave olf chawin' tobacco !"
"Well, I'd do that tco," said His
Honor, "It is another bad habit, and
you'll feel all the better for breaking
ug
Smith went away again, ani whan be
rbi iirned he looked twice as soleain as a
Qosen white-fish.
•' And now she waats me to promise to
stop swearing!" he gasped as be fell into
a chair.
"Is she • nice woman?" asked His
Honor.
"She is."
41 And yoo truly lore bet?"
"I do."
"Well, tben I'd quit swearing. It ia s
senseless habit ftnyhow, and you lose
nothing by promising.*' 1
The man concluded to promise and
departed quite bappy, but when he ono*
more returned after an interview with
the bride-elect be was mad.
"There won't be no roarrisge," he
announced, aa he sat down and pounded
tho table.
"Why? What now?"
"What now? Whv, when I promised
to atop drinking, quit ebawin' and leave
off aweanng abe said I must promiee to
olean up, share up and go to cborch witb
her!"
"And yon won't do it?"
"Judge," replied Smith, after a atrug
gle with his mental agitation, "do you
•oppose I'm going at it and ehange my
self over to a gentleman just for the Hake
of marrying a forty year old widow witb
a mole on her chin? Never! You can
go home! There won't be any splicing
to do, and from this time out I'll drink
and ehaw and swear around four times
worser than ever! It'a too much—lt's
the last straw on tho camels back!"
