How Daniel Boone Died.

The Bourbon (Ky.) Ne,cs publish
es few extracts from old copies of
the Paris Citizen, dated in 1915 and
1918. One Of them is a notice OF
Daniel Boone's death, as follows
As he lived, so he died, with his gun
in his hand. We are informed by a
gentleman direct from Boone 5 settle
ment on the Missouri river, that early
last month Colonel Boone road to a
deer lick, seated himself within a
bend raised TO conceal him from the
game. The while sitting thus con-
cealed with his trusty rifle in his
hand, pointed toward the lick, the
muzzle resting on a log, his face to
the breech ofhis gun, his rifle cooked,
his finger on the trigger, one eye
shut, the other looking along
the barrel through the sights-in this
position without a struggle or mo-
ton, and of course without pain, he
bresthed out his last SO gently that
when was found the next day by his
friend, although stiff and cold, he
looked as if alive, with his gun in his
hand just in the act of firing. 1t is
not altogether certain if buck have
come in the range of his gun, which
had been death to thousands, but it
might have intuitively obeyed its old
employers mind and discharged it
self. This hypothesis being novel we
leave the selection to the curious"

Sighted Work.

$ There! l guess that will do,
said John, as he took shovelful of
ashes out of the stove. " The pan
isn't quite empty, but it's near
enough nobody will see it. If ! can
get the store swept in about five min
utes, I can finish that story before
any one comes" The store had been
swept very much as the stove had
been cleaned. The open spaces pre-
scented rather good appearance /;
but out-of-the-way corners and under
Meath the boxes and barrels told
different story. However, John said
it was "good enough" The story was
finished and the paper hidden out of
sight before the clerks arrived. Then
Mr.. Willis, the proprietor, came in,
babe them all good morning."
glanced around the store and went
into his private Office. Presently he
called John. " Take these letters to
the office as soon as you can they
will be just in time for the 9 o'clock
mail. Come right back" John hur
ried to the office as he had been bid
den, but, having deposited the letters
safely, saw no reason for haste in
deed, he even indulgad in a game of
marbles before returning to his work
When he entered the store again Mr.
Willis made no comment on his tar
diness, but remarked F." Well, John,
I've'almost learned my lesson"
John stared What lesson, sir 2"
Why, the one you've been teach
ing me lately"
John was more puzzled than ever,
and all day long he wondered what
lesson he could possibly teach Mr..
Willis. The next morning Johns
work was done as speedily and no
better than the day before. Mr.
Willis came before the clerks and
sent John out on an errand. While
he was gone the gentleman, with a
quiet smile, began to investigate the
corners that John thought " nobody
would see." When he returned Mr..
Willis said /: 4" John, told you yes
terday / had almost learned my les
son; to-day | know it thoroughly.
Would you like to hear sir 2"
Eyes, sir"
" You have been teaching me how
we'll | could get along without you.
l thought the stove needed cleaning
and the store sweeping every morn
ing, but it seems they don't; so |
shall not need you longer than this
week"
Poor John | wonder what sort
of a lesson he will try to teach his
next employer ?

A Very Slow Train.

On some of the Western roads
they attach passenger car to a
freight train and call it mixed. 1t
ISN'T in the order Of things that such
trains should travel very rapidly,
and sometimes there is considerable
growling about the "traflic."

II Was a Shame.

A mans business has a good deal
to do with his views Of things. Two
fellows were walking up street the
other day. One of them was a SEN
sitive, high strung artist, the other
an unimaginative iron man. They
stopped and read the bulletin board.
1t stated that two well known prize
fighters had had fight and it had
been declared draw in two rounds.
The sensitive artist was shocked at
the brutality of prize fighting.
"Isn't it shame 7" be said. sits
a disgrace that such thing should
be permitted"
Eyes, it is a - shame said the
iron man. Two great, strong, pow
erful men like them. They should
have fought it out till they were
dead. "

The young man who begins to in
vest portion of his earning as soon
as he obtains situation will doubt.
less acquire a competence unless he
has exceptionally bad luck. At all
events he will begin right and the
habits of economy and saving which
he acquires will stand him in good
through life. To save little each
month, to buy nothing ON credit are
the secrets of worldly success. I'm
fortunately but few understand this
hence the country is full Of unhappy
people to whom poverty and debt
bring many bitter and humiliating
hours. 1t is an easy matter for q
young man to squander his earnings
upon himself and others, and it may
be that some people will sneer at him
as misery if he is saving, but he who
is wise will remember that there is
time coming when age or sickness
will make it impossible to earn any
thing and when he must live upon that
which he was saving in health or be
maintained by the charity of others.
1t is well to take warning by the
mistakes of others and to avoid imi-
tating their example.

Mexican War Veteran.

The wonderful efficacy of Swift's Specific as
remedy and cure for rheumatism and all blood dis.
eases, has never had conspicuous illustration
than this case affords. The candid unsolicited and
emphatic testimony given by the venerable gentle
man must be accepted convincing and conclusive.
The writer is prominent citizen of Mississippi. The
gentleman to whom Mr.. Martin REFERS and to whom
he is indebted for the advice which he owes his
final relief from years of suffering is Mr. King for
many years the popular night clerk of the Lawrence
House, at Jackson.
JACKSON, Miss, April %, 1857. /,
THE SWIFT SPECIFIC COMPANY, Atlanta Ca:
Gentlenen-I have been an invalid pensioner for
forty years, having contracted pulmonary and other
diseases in the Mexican War; but till the LIST Of
March, 1875, did feel any symptoms of rheumatism.
On that day was suddenly stricken with that dis
ease In both hips and ankles. For twenty days I
walked on crutches. Then tho pain less violent,
but 1t shifted from joint to joint For weeks would
the other. The pain never left me moment for
eleven years and seven monthsthat is from March
when was cured During these eleven years Of in
tense suffering ! tried innumerable prescriptions
from various physicians, and tried everything sug
gested BY friends but il ever received the lea,:t
ternay, am not aware Of It. Finally. about t f
first OF September made arrangements to go to th
flot ueSpdlreu OF ever
other remedy, when accidentally met old a,
quaintance. Mr. King, now of the Lawrence Hous )
of this city. He had once been great sufferer froH
rheumatism, and as supposed, had been cura
told me that his visit to the Hot Springs in vain
he found no relief On his return from Hot Springs
he heard, for the first time, of the s. s. s. remedy
for rheumatism He tried it and six bottles made q
complete cure. Several years have passed snce but
he has had no return of the disease.
Immediately returned TO try it,. In SeptemberI
took four bottles, and by the FIRST Of october
well-as far as the rheumatism was concerned. All
pain had disappeared, and HAVE NOT FELT TwINGE
OF 1T SINCE.
Ihave no interest In making this statement other
than the hope that it may direct other sufferer
to of relief, and IL IL has this result
well rewarded for my trouble. | am very re-
specially and truly your friend.

Men Who Get Side Tracked.

Perhaps the most numerous class of
men who get side tracked are those who
start in life in an occupation for which
they have no natural aptitude. There
are thousands OF farmer boys who never
should remain on the farm-the loud
plotestations of the agricultural press
to the contrary Notwithstanding. There
are doubtless men who make life
business of stirring the soil when they
ought to be stirring the senate; and,
On the contrary, perhaps there are men
who are trying to stir the senate who
ought to be stirring the soil.
Good business men are frequently
spoiled to make poor preachers; and
there are many large and heavy lawyers
who would make ideal btacksmiths !;
aud there are some slender and unsuc-
cesful blackslniths with the keen iogi-
Cal brain aud the shrewd nasterful
mind Of the lawyer. Such men are side
tracked for life unless there Is some great
event crosses their track, such as crossed
the track OF Grant the ,eamster, or
Cromwell the country squire. But no
doubt there are many Grants who al
ways team, and many Cromwe!ls who
never leave the farm. There are many
men who start out In life, like hunters,
on the wrong trail. They never bring
down their game because their game
has gone In another direction. They
are like fishermen who bob for cod in u
trout brook, or start whaling on an
inland pond.
There are some men who are side
tracked for life al their very birth.
They are born into mesh of circum-
stances from which there is no extric,.
ton. OF course it is easy enough to say
that man, like water, will always find
his level but it's hard for water to
rise plumb with It's fountain head when
confined in an underground pipe. 1t
would have been different for Shak-
spere to assert his claim to immortality
if he had been born iu Patagonia and
we would never have heard of Plato il
he had first seen the tight in Scythia.
To say nothing of the hereditary infiu-
euces that mold the unborn man, the
environment of the young humans in-
fancy usually shapes and directs his
destiny so irrevocably that only men Of
the strongest will and the toughest
mental and physical fibre can ever
counterfeit the impetus that is given
them in Yankee Blade.
