THE QUEEN ANNE MUsKET.

One of Mark Twain's fellow passengers
in a Western stage was bantered about
his timidity, whereupon he stated that he
had never been scared but once, and that
was when he fred an old Queen Anne
musket belonging to ..the old man" Says
he: "You see the old man was trying to
learn me to shoot blackbirds and beasts
that tore up the young corn, and such
things, so that could be Of some use
about the farm, because wantsbig enough
to do much. My gun was asingle-barrel
shot gun, and the old man carried all old
Queen Anne musket that weighed ton,
and made report like a thunder-clap,
and kicked like mule. The old man
wanted me to shoot the musket some time,
but was afraid One day, though, i got
her down, and SO took her to the hired
man and asked him how to load her, be-
cause the old man was out in the fields
Hiram, said he:
"Do you see them marks on the stock
and X and V on the Queens crown?
Well, that means ten balls and five slugs,
that's her load"
..But how much powtler?''
'.Oh, he says, sit don't natter, put in
three or four handfulls."
Sol loaded her up that way, and it was
an awful CHARGE had sense enough to
seethat--and started ont. ! leveled on
good many blaekbirds, but every time
went to pull the trigger, shut my eyes
and winked was afraid of her kick.
Towards shutdown, fetched up at the
house, and there was the old man resting
on the porch I s

And he took aim at a saplng on the
other side Of the road, and | began to
drop back out OF danger. And the next
minute / heard IN earthquake, and saw
the Queen Anne whirling end over end in
the air, and the old man spinning around
on one heel, with one leg up and both
hands on his jaw, and the bark flying from
the tree. The old mans shoulderwas set
back three inches. and his jaw turned black
and blue, and he had to lay up for three
days.. Cholera nor nothing else can ever
