HOW TO HANDLE A GUN.
From the Burlington Hawkeye.

'sThc first thing you do when you GO
hunting with another Toy is to guard
Yourself against accident. The best
way to do this is To shoot the other boy
before he has time TO load his gun.
Then take both guns to the nearest
creek and throw them in. Throw the
powder and shot in after them. II you
have any matches about your clothes,
throw them in also. Then start at once
and go home as fast as ever you can.
And ii Won are umtlcr eighteen years
of age, the chances are, even with these
precautions, that you will get both legs
and II section of your back filled TO the
brin with bird shot before You reach
homr,'
"llnw?'
Goodness only knows, my son, !
don't. have often wondered how it
did happen, but never could ascer-
tain. am not here to advance ingen-
ions theories, but merely TO state cold
facts, and | know i: to be Il solemn
truth, that boy, with Il single-barrcl
gun twice as long rs himself, can man
age somehow to shoot himself in more
places ut once than a man can do with
IL seven shooter revolver. And am
going to buy you gun? Yes, am;
sometime in the long vacation when
time hangs heavily on my hands, and l
think would enjoy entertaining you
by picking shot out of your legs with a
nut pick"
"But you will be very careful with it?
So is a woman very careful with an
umbrella, my son, and yet science is
unable TO account for the startling im-
crease of One-eyed men every summer"

RATTLEsNAKE JAKE's DEATH.

From the Portland Oregonian.l
On Big Spring creek, i'll Meagher
county, few days ago, Rattlesnake
Jake and his partner, O'Fallon. two
desperadoes and reputcd horse thieves.
attempted to run a small place called
Lewiston, and meeting with some OPP
position they declared they would
clean out the town, and commenced
shooting at everybody in sight. There
were only three guns in The town. and
they were placed in the hands of men
of undaunted courage, who used them
with such good effect that both OF the
supposed hOrse.thieves were run down
i'm short time. O'FallOn being shot
through and through, with a Winches-
Ter rife, and lsattlesnake served in a
like manner short time afterward.
Both men showed great pluck. O'Fal-
lon. after being shot through rode back
to his partner and asked him if he was
hurt. Jake said he was. "Well," said
O|FallOp, II am shot and am Il dead
man, but | will STAY with you.' At
that moment he fell from his horse.
then raised himself upon his knees,
took deliberate aim with Winchester
ut young man named Smith, an out
slider, who was trying 10 get away
from the fracas, and shot him through
the head killing him instantly.
The citizens saw that there would be
more men killed if the thing was not
ended quickly, and shooting from pis-
lOls of lll 81 :es commenced in earnest.
O'Failon took five shots in the body
before lie fell The second time, and
then he raised himself on bis side and
continued shooting until he had not
strength enough to support himself,
and after living down he kept shooting
as long as there was life in him.
RattIesnakc Jake, after he was shot
through the body, kept shooting; then
his right arm was broken by ball, and
he changed to his left hand, and kept
shooting; another bal! broke his right
leg, and, supporting himself by the
other, he kept shooting; another ball
struck his chin, carry ing away half ofhis
jaw, when he fell Oh the ground, raised
himself on his side, and kept shooting.
From weakness, he could not support
himself any longer. and fired lying fiat
on the ground. There were nine balls
in him before he gave UP. Just before
he drew his last breath be made an
effort to draw his pistol again, but had
not strength enough, and it fell by his
side

est satisfaction! 2 During the last two
swesks it has been on trial on the
suburban trains of the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific. The poorest quality
of bituminous coal was used, and yet, at
no time, although Sat one point it ran
fifty miles an hour, did any black smoke
.'coine out of the stack. Not particle of
,cinders and DUST Was thrown outs The
smoke. that was Lemitted was thin and
WITHHOLDING much like escaping
steam. There WAS no bad toaor from
escaping gas, as is the case on ordinary
engines. Mr.. Coventry explained that
the gases on ordinary engines are usually
thrown out of the stack, which is the
cause of the density of, the; smoke, On
his engine the sgasses are e'all burned, and
thi, was what caused the saving Of fuel.
