DOING HIS BEST.

How Luke VarDUm Served His country
by Shooting Colonel Warmers Horse.
1t may seem at first sight as if the
boy mentioned in this incident, which
is given by Edward Everett Hale in his
Boys Heroes, did nothing either heroic
or remarkable; but it is good illus
tration of the value of doing ones best:
There was boy whom we will name
Luke Varnum. He was fifteen years
old, and he was lame of his left foot.
So, when every other boy in Number
Five, and every man, old and young,
shouldered his firelock and marched of
to Join General Stark and 60 and fight
the Hessians at Bennington, Luke was
left at home. He limped out and held
the stirrup for Lieutenant Chittenden
to mount, and then he had to stay at
home with the babies and the women.
The men had been gone an hour and a
half when three men galloped up on
horseback. And Luke went down to
the rails to see who they were. lis
there nobody hereP" said one of them.
YES" said Luke, Il am here"
II see that" said the first man,
laughing. "What l mean is, is there
nobody here can set a shoep'
II think l can," said Luke. II often

Any way, will start up the fire."
So Luke went into the forge and
took down the Undertook and struck a
light. He built the fire, and hunted
up half dozen nails which Jonas had
left Internationally, and he had even
made two more when fourth horse
man came slowly down on a walk.
"What luck" said he, Ito find forge
with the fire lighted"
1--WE found one," said Marvin,
with boy who knew how to light
it."
And the other speaker threw himself
off the horse meanwhile. And Luke
pared the hoof of the dainty creature,
and measured the shoe, which was too
big for her. He heated it white, and
bent it closer, to the proper size. ut
is a poor fit" he said, "but it will
do"
ut will do very WE'LL" said her
rider. but she is very tender-footed,
and do not dare trust her five miles
unshod." ..
And for pride's sake, the first two
nails Luke drove were those he had
made himself And when the shoe
was fast, he said: Tell Jonas that
het up the forge-and put on the
shoe"
1--WE will tell him." said the Colonel
laughing, and he rode on.
But one of the other horsemen tar.
ried minute, and said: "Boy, no ter
men who left you to-day have served
your country as you have. 1t is Colone
Warner"
When l read in the big books of his
tory how Colonel Warner led up hi.
regiment just in time to save the da,
at Bennington, l am apt to think o
Luke Varnum. When read that tina

When l 60 to see monuments erected

TWO TO ONE
THE WHEELING BOYS HOLD Up THEIR
END BRAVELY
In Yesterdays Game With the GAINESVILLE Club
The Contest the Best Of the
Seasons Series.

The patronage at the base ball game yes
terday between GAINESVILLE and Wheeling,
was a decided improvement on anything
this season. This may have been due
partly to the State Fair notice about tres
passing. The notice seemed to have the
salutary effect of keeping the boosters
away. The batting was very weak on
both sides, and while the home team did
the best work with the stick their hits
were scattered and consequently unpro-
ductive. Nicholson and White bore of
the batting honors. O'Bright's left field
play was, as usual, remarkably good, and
Mike is rapidly becoming a favOrite OF
Wheeling base ball patrons. Speidel play
ed the best game at short seen here this
season. one pick up of a hot grounder and
the catch of a high line fly, eliciting great
applause. Whites second base play was
mn TO his usual high standard. The bat
terry work on both sides was
remarkably good. The Zanesvilles made
their first score in the fourth inning after
two men were out, when McCann drove a
grounder to Dudley which the latter
iielded nicely, but overthrow first five feet.
McCann got to third while Nicholson was
going after the ball, and scored on Wat
sons careless indifference in letting a re-
turn ball 90 by him. The final run was
made in the sixth inning, also after two
men were out, when Darrah hit to center
and got to first on NichOl misjudging his
ay. lie subsequently scored on McCann,s
long hit over o'Bright's head; fThe. Wheel
ing club got its only run in the seventh in,
ming, when two singles by Wright and
Outright and two pass balls brought III one
rim In all probabilities the homc team
will have a game with the Duquesne club,
a strong amateur organization from Pitts
burg. Negotiations are also pending fol
a gam here with the st. Louis Maroons.

lie DIDN'T DRINK IT.
4 New Liquor that Fooled a South Side
Man.

There resides on the South Side 4 prOml-
ncnt German citizen, who flatterS himself
that he is a cOnnOisscur on all kinds OF
d~rinkables, and the other day while he was
in a certain wcll-known business mans
Office, the gentleman saw a chance for a
Joke on the prominent German citizen.
''Ivc got a new drink here | would like
YOU to try" said the business man. ut
isn't exactly 4 new one either, but you
haven't tasted it for TWEEN y-iive years, |
am sure, 50 it will appear new to you. "
As he said this the gentleman picked up II
dark-cOlorcd glass and pouring out about
two ounces OF w~hitc-colOred fluid, he
handed it to the German citizen.
That gentleman put the glass to his lips,
tasted the contents, then after screwing
his face up and smacking his lips a num-
her of times he said, in Il puzzled manner:
'Py shote; | cand dell What dot ish, und
| ncfer rcmempcr me auf drinking dot.
Then he tasted the drink several times
again, and with a rather disguised express
sion on his face, he said:
I'D must hat pin 4 lond dime ago when
| drink dot. Anyhow, | like it nod"
The business man refused TO tell him
what the glass contained, and he left say
ing he didn't carc much lash it vas no
goot.'' He doesn't know TO this day that
what he drank and failed to recognize was
water. lie will probably appreciate the
Joke when he reads this.

Quaint old John Turpin Esq, of Clinton
Crosses to the other shore.
Mr.. Turpin was horn at the Seven DialS
in a noted locality in London in lSOS, and
came to this country about 1880; his trade
was that of a butcher. For some years
after landing in this country hey kept an
English Inn at P~ittsburg., In ISIS he
took charge rs general manager of the
well known brewery of Geo. W. Smith,
which he conducted successfully for ten
Years. He then retired to his quiet
country home ut Clinton, where he has
since hvedIwith his wife, whOsurviveS him.
He leaves no children. He died ycSter-
day morning mt , o'clock and will be
buried tomorrow afternoon at , O'Clock
on the bluff overlooking his house.
Many OF our readers will miss this quaint
old gentleman from III midst. Residing
i'm Clinton, twelve miles from the city, he
made periodical visits here, often appear
ing in an old high white beaver hat dis
colored by time, upon which lie set great
store. His great delight WAS to call each
time upon "a few friends, with some Of
whom he would talk politics and recall
his appointment as Postmaster of Clinton
by Mr.. Lincoln and reappOintments dur
ing successive administrations, and how
finally when he retired from Government
employ his accounts were fOund correct to
the last cent. With some he would declalm
passage after passage from Shakespeare,
with whose writings he was rs familiar rs 4
bOokkeeper is with his ledger, and tell
quaint old English stories, OF which he
had a large repertoire, with Others
deScanting upon the Bible and Paine'S
Age of Reason, - arguing his side Oftheo-
logical questions with all the vigor of a
profound thinker and fluent talEer, and
parrying twits upon his peculiar views
with good natured badinage.
My motto" he has often said, is, an
honest mans the noblest work Of God;
my religion, to befriend widows and or
phans.'
During the last Presidential campaign
Mr.. Turpin, after giving the subject much
thought and reflection, anne to the cOnclu-
sion that 4 change was necessary in the
administration of the government, and
practiced the precepts of his motto by cast
ing a ballot for the Democratic candidate.
He was u blunt old gentleman of social in
stinctS, fond Ola joke, genial and hoSplta-
Bile. Z good liker and \ famous hatcr, and
will be greatly missed by his friends.
