" Don't rend thorn I Well, I will show you." Next morning's pnpor oontnlned n short editorial on oats and told how oat ur had recently come Into great demand In fash ionable circles In New York, and how tho long, coarse hairs were eliminated and the real fur was made Into tippets mid muffs, and every fashionable lady wore a feline, cto. Not fur off In another column wan a displayed advertisement that said: " Wanted 1,000 oats, for whioh BO oen'.s each will bo paid." The merchant's name was signed to it. By noon the oats began to roll In. Small boys., white and black, brought them in baskets and bags. For mvlillo tho merchant enjoyed tho joko, but soon got tired nnd wont away tc dinner. Dy the tlmo he returned tho boys and darkies from the suburbs wore coming In, and tho sidewalk was blookaJod. Henry bad laughed until h" was exhausted and sat on a window Bill across tho street, threatened, ho said, with n cataleptic lit. Neighboring merohnnts and their clorks gathered nround and laughed and shouted and cried nt every new arrival of cats. As fast ns tho merchant drove off ono crowd auothor filled their places. Ho ormod himself with n big stick, but at Inst ha closed his doors lnsboerdospnlr, and night relieved hlra from tho pressure But the next morning tho oatastroph was worse. The oatalogue was not ended, 'or the country people had heard the news and brought oats In on their wagons and under their buggy seats and tied up In ootton baskets like chickens. Henry took als stand near by and leaned against a tel egraph polo for support. Ho and the folks Who loved fun were till thero, and while It was fun to tho boys and death to the frogs It was such a rare and racy joke that the merchant couldn't got mnd, and flunlly surrendered. Ho mado on appropriate lit tlo speech to tho orowd nnd told Henrj that If ho would promise never to do sc any more ho would glvo him the biggest "ad." ho lirdt .-or had In his paper.

Harvard and Tale have at last signed a definite treaty, and a complete athletic recon ciliation haa been effected. Walter Camp and William Brooks, Jr., drew up the agreement Saturday evening:, but It was not signed until yesterday. It provides Tor baseball, football and track athletics to be agreed to by the undergraduate managers, and for an arbitration committee In case of a dis agreement. As to the boat race this year, Cornell appears to hold the key to the situation. The signing of the agreement puts an end to a long suspense, and will be received everywhere with great relief. The plan is tacitly that which Har vard presented to Tale months ago, but which, without being actually re fused, was strongly objected to. Every one In Cambridge Is delighted. It Is understood that the llrst base ball game will Be played In Cambridge on June 26, which is the day before class day, with the second at New Ha ven on June 30. If a third game Is necessary It will bo played a week later. The track athletic games will occur at New Haven May 1G. Why the Treaty Is Opposed. Washington, Feb. IB. Senator Tel ler, when asked to furnish the Associ ated Press with a statement of the reasons for seeking a postponement ol the Anglo-American arbitration treaty, prepared a lengthy article detailing the duty of the senate on such an Import ant matter, urging against undue haste, and concluding as follows: "I am decidedly In favor of arbitration In nil cases that can be arbitrated, but this Is no reason why I should Join in ratifying a treaty that lacks the great est essential of a treaty. "When the treaty is put In proper form, as I hope It will be, it will be ratified. I regret that the agreement has not been con sidered in open senate, so that the peo ple could see the defects in it." Serious Charge Against a Blnyor. Bloomington, Ills., Feb. IB.

Sulleru for the Guilty Ones. Fiom Mnhanoy City Record. One of the first lessons for a nowspapor puhllslier to learn and ono of the hardest to learn, somotimes never learned is that it is always unwise and sometimes dangerous business, to be engaged in pulling other people's chestnuts out of tho Arc. When trouble comoa as a result, it is not the parties who have been so ready in suggestion, so eager to urge on the conflict, who havo sufJ lered, but the complaisant publisher, who Is thereby twice injured. Meplilstophelea iu tho newspaper oflloe may well bo represented in the fellow who urges tho publisher on to a conflict while ho takes safe refuge behind him and rolls the balls for him to fire. Tboso remarks have a very special application to tho case of two young and inoxporienced newspaper men of this county, at tho present timo. Oascarets stimulate liver, kidneys and bowels.

Besides Its delightful ulimate, whii-h to one esi aping from the cold and iinhealthful clinnses or the North seems almost ethereal, it is pre-eminently a laud of Kportand pleasure, Along Its eleven nunuroa miles of salt-water coast aud iu its twelve hundred fresh-water lakes are Ash of almost every conceivable variety, from the migra tory tribes common to Northern waters to the tin lion, poninniio, uud others of a more trunlcal ohaiuctcr. Nowhere iu all our broad land can tho angler flud a greater variety of gamo or better sport. Hero also tho most enthusiastic hunter finds aatletv. Doer, turkeys, bears, panthers. nnd wild rats roam at largo through the more sparsely settled regions, wliilo birds ot all kinds may be found iu abundance through out the State. The moro novel sport of al lismtorand manatee hunting may also be in dulged in by tho muro adventurous tourist. Wltu its malcmess climate, its orange groves, its rivers nnd lakes, its boating and Itatlilng, its fishing and huutiug, nnd its extensive foretits, Florida presents unrivaled attractions for the valetudinarian, tho lover of niturc, the sportsman and the oxplorer. To tills attractive state the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has arranged four personally-conducted tours during the season of 1807, leaving by special train January 20, February 0 and 83, and March 0. Tho first three ton r will admit of a sojourn of two weeks in this delightful land; tickets for the fourth tour will bo valid to return until May 31 by regular trains.
