Joe Deadwyler says that Nap. Crosby
fired the last gun of the war on the on
federate side in Gen Lees army. At the
time of the surrender at Appomattox the
Federals and Confederates were drawn
few feet apart The latter were almost
starved. having been without food for
several days. While the terms of sur
render were being arranged some very
good hogs came along near the line, and as
soon as zap. discovered them he raised his
gun and took one of them in. The shoot
ing OF the hog created considerable sen
sation for q little while, as it was thought
by some that the anks and Rebs had got
into fight among themselves The facts
were soon understood, however, and Nap
and his friends had good time eating

The age at which running can be prac-
ticed, an eminent physician says, by a
healthy man in training is from 20 to 80.
Boys and girls also of 10 or 10 can run with
no apparent fatigue In boys races, for those
under IA years no previous training should
be inflicted. No one should train for run
ming until he is 18, but 20 would be the safer
Between 20 and 81 is the best age for attain
ing speed in running Between 80 and 40 a
wise man will think twice before under
going training for race running. Older
men should run on no pretense whatever.

newspaper iteration fails for two obvious
reasons The best utterances of a party

Case for Knives and Forks.

For picnics, for tenting journeys, or even
for putting away spare set Of knives and
forks at home, the case shown in this design
is very useful. The brightest steel knives
rust in damp places, and the best silver
plated ones tarnish in time if not entirely
protected from the air. The only safety is
in wrapping them neatly in flannel and
packing them away. If put each in its
proper place, in case like the one shown,
and then rolled up and tied, they win be
kept SO they can neither go astray on a
picnic nor be eaten by rust spots.
