THE LITTLE SHOOTING IRON.

The elder Weller has become famous
because of his oft quoted advice to ''be
ware of the vidders." Mr.. Weller had
experience and his advice was oracular.
A Brillion man named Davis will shout
''aye" as loud as the lustiest yell of Gabe
Bouck, to the sentiment of Mr.. Weller.
Davis put his trust in widow and hence
his SORROWS. Davis is in durance vile,
the guest of Sheriff Bibinger, because in
the economy of nature there are such
things as widows.
Davis loved and thought he was be
loved. He adored,-bu here the poets
simiie fails,-for he was not worshipped
after any fashion. He was not ''full of
gentleness or calmest hope, not he
He bought revolver; Davic did, and
swore he'd WOO her "as the lion woos his
bride" She was proof against leonine
or manly wooing, and had made prepare
tions to come to the city with another
fellow, whose "ducky dear" she had
promised to be. She is resident of
Reedsville and in a roll call would an
swer to the name of Mrs. Link. Davis
knew her while he was hostler in
Reedsville hotel, and gave her his heart
upreservedly.
He came to the depot with revolver
in his hip pocket, and with pleading in
his eagle eye. CThe last is figure of
speech, Davis has an eye of his own, two
of them.) The widow scornfully reject
ed him, even in the presence of his sue
cessful rival. Davis departed both in
sorrow and in anger, but the "boys" of
the place said something about ''faint
heart never winning fair lady" and other
things which stirred the rejected swain
clear down to his hip pocket. He again
went to the depot and offered himself
and was again disdainfully rejected
Then his shooting iron flashed on the
vision and Tragedy leaped to the fro ut
prompted by the mild hammered lover of
the obdurate widow. He tried to shoot
the woman who stole his heart. John
Meaney, the station agent, seized the
revolver and the bullet whistled over the
heads of the crowd. Meaney had his hair
singed by the explosion, and Davis lam
cuisines in Jail.
He didn't want the account printed in
an English paper. He wanted his acts
to be chronieled exclusively in German
text. But while The Pilot grieves for
him, it Cannot respect his wishes in this
particular. Oh, no, victim of the con-
Stunning passion. You must live in Latin
text. What if Jove assumed swans
shape for love, are you, poor victim, to
be denied the right of using little re-
volyer on a widow? And do you fear
public condemnation

LIEUTENANT SLAMM of the Andy john
son gives quite an interesting description
of what is known as the coil spot in the
Gulf of Mexico. This is a section of the
gulf about mile in length and three
fourths of mile wide. When a storm
is raging and the sea dashed into fury,
this section is calm, and the waves break
on its confines. This is said to be due
to the oil which comes from the bottom.
In storm its color becomes quite mark
ed, also.

teachers. Their schools are to be con-
graduated on having secured the services
of teachers thus conscious of their duties.

For some time Grube's method has
been used in the Two Rivers schools.
At first the teachers say it was difficult
TO give it any degree of interest for the
pupils. But the teachers persisted un-
til they fully comprehendcd the system
themselves. They showed, during the
Teachers Institute, that the subject re-
ceived considerable attention at their
hands Work is now done according to
the system in these schools, and no one
can hear the little ones recite in numbers
without being deeply impressed with the
excellence of this system as means OF
mental development. 1t leads to thought,
expression of ideas, and correctness of
language. 1t will pay teachers in the
neighborhood of Two Rivers to witness
q recitation in numbers and learn the
possibilities of Grube's method.

A Visitors impression.

Bishop Warren, after the close of the
M. e. Conference in this city, was taken
in charge by Hon. G.. Wiley Wells,
whose guest he was during his stay in
the city, and driven to the San Gabriel
Winery, to Sunny Slope, Santa Anita,
Kinneloa. and the Sierra
Madre Villa, making the round trip in a
day. in time to catch the evening over
land train. The eminent clergyman is
a gentleman of large travel in foreign
lands. and of careful observation, and
made diligent use Of all his faculties in ex-
amining objects Of interest in and around
Los Angeles. To say that he and his
accomplished daughter were highly
pleased with this country is too feeble
an expression. They were delighted
to enthusiasm and we have no doubt
but that the General Conference at
Philadelphia will transfer the learned
gentleman to the diocese of California
according to the unanimous wish of
the Conference in this City, and locate
him at Los Angeles. The Bishop is
one Of those minded, progressive
men. just adapted to California. where
he could do great work for those OF
his faith and order. In addition to
his love for California, which he thinks
is the finest country in the world, the
Bishop is pleased with the people Of this
State, and will doubtless, If his health
is preserved, be the next bishop of
the M. Z. Church of California.

freed by a Grizzly.


On Monday last, our well and favora-
bly, known friend, Mr.. G.. Washington
Buffer, while angling for speckled beau
ties in San Antonio Canon, was fright
ened beyond recognition by his most
intimate friends, by the sudden appear
ance of a monster grizzly bear, which
made straight at him. and showed every
evidence Of longing for Canibal
feast. Bruin did not manifest the slight
est inclination to spare our friend, even
after George had tried to bluff her,
[BlufferL by various gesticulations and
yells, calculated to rob her bearship Of
her fondness for gentlemen out Of town.
All attempts to Brighten the brute away
proved vain, and every moment brought
her nearer, and showed the long, white
fants and mnrderous claws, that would
speedily convert Washington into fish
bait, assorted sizes, unless he found
some means of immediate escape. which
fortunately stood near him in the form
of tree, up which he climbed in less
time than it would require to see that he
was the worst scared man in Cal. He
realized that unless he succeeded in kill
ing or binding the bear with his six
shooter, the small tree that supported
him, would soon be torn from the
ground. After shooting five times with
out effect, he steadied his nerves with a
few whiffs from Tansill's Punch Sc.
cigar, with which he was plentifally
supplied by Ball, at the p. o. Cigar Store,
and killed his prosecutor with his last
cartridge. jy3l-tf.

The Water supply.


The light rainfall for the past three
years is sensibly felt in Los Angeles
county, where the springs are low at
present, but the mists of the morning
prevent any drying up of vegetation to
any injurious extent. In the San
joaquin valley the effect is important,
concerning which the Kern County
Californian says, that +. H. Cotton, who
has charge of the Kern Island, and
several other irrigating canals in Bakers
field, and has had an important charge
in the irrigating system ever since its
construction. states that in this long
period he never has observed such a
scarcity of water or such marked effects
of drought in the delta of Kern river.
About enough water reaches the head
of Kern Island canal to furnish power
for the Kern Valley Touring mills only.
This is used for that purpose during the
day, flowing on for the benefit of the
farms on the canal and its branches
below. AT night it is turned into the
channel Of the river and goes to afford a
scanty supply to other canals and bitches
taken out lower down for watering
stock. Irrigation, except little in the
town and vicinity, is out Of the question.
