DEADLY INVENTION "A Swedish gun has
been invented, which is claimed to be much
superior to the Calling gun. 1t is worked
after the manner of piano-forte playing, it
moves to and fro in a section of circle, and
sweeps all the ground that 1t covers in a
most marvellous manner. 1t Is something

the operator. The Russian navy has this
wonderful Swedish invention ready for use in
their fleet. 1t can be carried up into the

would sweep the enemy's deck of combatants.

he STOPPED HIS PAPER.


Some years ago when writer on the Indi-
annapolis Times was a reporter upon an east
ern paper, it devolved on him to write for the
same edition an account of the presentation
of a gold headed cane to Rev. DR.. Nudge, the
clergyman of the place, and new hog kill
ing machine that had just been put in opera
ton at the factory. Now, what made Rev.
DR.. Nudge mad was this The inconsiderate
bucaneer who made up the form got the two
locals mixed up in frightful manner, and
when we went to press something like this
was the appalling result: Some Of Rev. Mr..
Mudge's friends called ON him yesterday,
and after brief consultation the unsuspect-
along the beam until he reached the hot water
tank. His friends explained the object of
their visit and presented him with handsome
gold-headed butcher, who grabbed him by
the tail, and swung him around, and in less
than minute the carcass was in the water.
were times when the feelings overpowered
one, aud for that reason he would not do
more than attempt to thank those a
round him for the manner in which so huge
an animal was cut in fragments was aston
ishing. The doctor concluded his remarks,
the machine seized him, and in less than it
takes to write it, the hog was cut into frag-
ments and worked into delicious sausage The
occasion will be remembered by the doctors
friends as one of the most delightful occasions
of their lives. The best can be obtained for
fifteen cents per pound, and we are sure those
who sat underhis ministry win rejoice to hear
that he has been SO handsomely treated"-
Mad WE'LL about nine o'clock that morning
the office had been abandoned by every man
but the advertising clerk, and he assembled to
the roof so that he could see the clergyman
tearing around down in the street with his
congregation, all wearing the panoply of war.
The next day we apologized, but the doctor
stopped his subscription.
