scared out of His Wits.

The most laughable incident of the
season happened the other night.
There was an old man going down the
street-one who could not hear the
best in the world. They boys were
bursting topedoes, and one of them
was finging and making a charge on
a crowd of boys. The old man was
meeting the torpedo boy, when one Of
the largest size struck him in the fore.
head and bursted. At the fash the
old man thought he was shot, and fell.
Murder! murder! murder!" went
ringing up the streets, and a great
crowd went rushing to the yelling
mans relief. They picked him up
but could find nothing to be the mat
ter, and the old fellow was scared SC
bad as to be unable to tell what had
happened. After administering cam
tphor. and rubbing pretty freely, h,
was restored enough to talk, and thu
first words he spoke was to ask for hi
horse, swearing that he would be muir
dered before morning if he stayed il
town, and he left for home under
whip. Some one has since explained
to the old man that he was struck with
torpedo, and now he wonders why
they were not used in time of war, 70
his firm belief is that they would hav'
been as beneficial in soaring men t.
death as an eighty-pound howitzer. -
