The Catted Anarchist
The
Catted Anarchist
An Anarchist Orator
who had been struck in the face with a Dead Cat by some Respector of Law to him
unknown, had the Dead Cat arrested and taken before a Magistrate. “Why do you
appeal to the law?” said the Magistrate—“You who go in for the abolition of
law.” “That,” replied the Anarchist, who was not without a certain hardness of
head, “that is none of your business; I am not bound to be consistent.
You sit here to do justice between me and this Dead Cat.” “Very well,” said the
Magistrate, putting on the black cap and a solemn look; “as the accused makes
no defence, and is undoubtedly guilty, I sentence her to be eaten by the public
executioner; and as that position happens to be vacant, I appoint you to it,
without bonds.” One of the most delighted spectators at the execution was the
anonymous Respector of Law who had flung the condemned.
