But this is not enough. Tho cause of truth,

Gilbert Stuart as a School Boy.

When Gilbert Stuart was a boy, he
went to school in Newport, r. l., where
he, together with companion of the
name of Charming, getting into a scrape
IN consequence of the tale-telling of an
old shoemaker of the place, they both
vowed vengeance, and adopted the fol-
lowing mode eff carrying it out They
provided themselves with an old gun,
syringe, and some blood from butcher.
They gave the gun liberal charge of
powder, and filed the syringe with
blood, SO mixed with hot water as to be
about blood-warm. These preparations
were made in the evening of summers
day, and, thus prepared, they crept to
the open window where the shoemaker
was at work, and, while one fred the
gun, the other, at the same instant,
squirted the watered blood upon the
bald head of the unsuspecting victim.
Startled by the explosion within five feet
of him, and feeling the moisture trick
ling down his neck, he raised his hand
to his head, and, seeing blood, rolled
over among his lasts and lap-stones,
calling out that he was murdered. His
wife ran in, and with some assistance
got him into bed, where he was washed
in order to find the wound, but as no
wound could be found, and as in short
time he felt as comfortable as ever, he
suspected the trick, and Immediately
ran to the school to inform against his
enemies. AS Stuart and Charming were
found in bed Witb their shoes on, they
were held RESPONSIBLE and suffered the
application of birch that was customary
in those days. Years after, when Stuart
returned from England, he found the
old man still alive and at work. He went
into the shop and asked if he remem,
bered him. "No," said the shoemaker
