Herr Krupp is man OF decision.
The other day he received letter in
forming him that his vast establish
ments for making monster cannon
workshops which cover hundreds OF
acres--were to be burned down. He
called his thousands OF workmen all to-

.If any one OF You has made this threat,
let him go ahead and execute 1T; but
warn you that / shall not rebuild.

cannon-making."
Isaac Hoffman, of Caryerton, Pa,
whose only means Of locomotion 10
upon his hands and knees, is one OF the
famous hunters Of that region. He has
never been able to walk. He can oper-
ate mower, reaper or horse rake equal
to any one. As loader OF hay and
| grain he Is hard to excel. He has often
driven one and two horses, and has no
fears of their getting away. He assists
| in most of the work about his fathers
farm, and, as chopper Of wood, none
| but those who have witnessed his WELD
ing Of the axe would believe the amount
| he can cut in short time. During the
last dozen years OF his life his chief en-
| joyment is to travel over the hills with
his gun and dog, and as marksman he
is pretty hard to excel In coming
down a flight OF stairs he always de-
sends head foremost. When he comes
to stream OF water not more than four
to five feet wide, he actually springs
over like cat alightlng upon his knees
