A DISCRIMINATING SHOT.

The following is told Of a couple of
Hoffman and Cowan, and both were ex-
cellent shots, and not a little given to
boasting of their skill. One day they
went on a deer hunting expedition, and,
after getting into the woods where they
expected to find deer, they separated.
Shortly after Hoffman heard Cowan's
gun fired off, when he Immediately went
over to the spot where he heard the shot,
expecting to be obliged to help Cowan
hang Up a deer. He found Cowan very
busy loading his gun, and shouted out
Hello, Gowanl What did you shoot
at just 1o"?"
"None O. your businessI Go along
over the hill"
Surprised at this short and crusty an
swer, Hoffman looked around and discov-
cred a calf among the bushes. Again he
81 say, Cowan, did you shoot at that
calf?"
eyes, I did; but it's none of your bust
ness!"
why, what madeyou shoot at it?"
"I took it eor a deer"
"Well, did you hit it2
"No; I missed it."
Chow did you miss it?"
81 was quite sure that it wasn't a calf"
"You are a pretty sportsman, rejoined
Hoffman, "to shoot at a calf for a deer,
and miss it at thatI"
"Don't make a fool of yourself" re-
piled Cowan. 81 shot at it just so as to
hit it if it was a deer and miss it if it was
a calf r'-New York Ledger.

The lawyer had been badgering with
the witness for some time and finally
asked:
"Was any member of your family eve
hung?"

"Ah, hal I thought as much. Now,

"Myself."
Yourself! Do you mean to say that

"Come now, no triaing! Tell the jury
what you were hung for, and how you
happen to be alive to-day"
"Well sir, a man was killed, and I
was suspected of having committed the
crime. A mob took me out, put a rope
around my neck, and had just hauled me
up to the limb of a tree, when some one
in the crowd shouted that the murdered

How the Kicker Man Settled His
Libel Case. One of the first libel suits
started against this paper wa brought by
DR.. King, the druggist on Sioux place.
We stated that the doctor was a quack
and a fraud; that he was a skipper from
the east; that he did not know q~uinine
from arsenic, and that this climate would
be sure to affect his health if he stayed a
few weeks longer. A shyster lawyer
named Davis made the doctor believe that
he had been damaged, and he brought
suit for a quarter of a million.
Six months ago Davis spit on our hat
as we were coming out of the p~ostofice,
and we had to pay $13 to bury him.

the case would have been tried was

: HINTS TO HoUsEKEEPERs.

Powdered chalk and vinegar are good
"for a burn.
= A little ammonia in tepid water will
soften and cleanse the skin.
Hot fat or cutting bread will soon dull
the edge of the sharpest knife.
A red-hot iron passed over old putty
will soften it so it can be easily removed.
IA damp cloth dipped in salt will remove
egg stains from silver, or tea stains from
china dishes.
A sink or other home drain should be
thoroughly washed out with boiling suds
at every weekly wash-day.
A canton flannel case for silver knives
and forks is the best thing to keep them
in when they are not used every day.
Of warm water will often restore colors
carpets; it will also remove whitewash
from them.
Yellow stains, left by sewing-machine
on whithe, may be removed by rubbing
ne spot with a cloth wet with ammonia
before washing with soap.
If breakfast bacon or ham is to be served
for breakfast the fat that is drawn out in
cooking should be used for irving its &C
c9mpanying hominy or Indian mush.
To clean so-called brass lamps rub the
SSlamp thoroughly with a mixture of crocus
and sweet oil, stand it aside to dry.
When dry polish it with dry crocus and
chamois skin.
Il a crumb Of bread must rot be wasted,
but dried, pounded and put away in a tin
box ready for breading Goldfish balls, rice
croquettes, etc. Remains of cooked
vegetables must be saved for soups; not
even a leaf of cabbage should be thrown
away.
To romoVe ink from paper, if not of too
long standing, wet a t~easpoonful of
kehloride of lime with Just sufficient water
3 cover it. Pat Cnot rub) the spot gently
or a few moments, using a soft cloth
yet with the mixture, and the ink will
fowly disappear. If one application is
= not sufficient, try a second.
IF you have been travelling anv dis
lance on the cars, don't wash vour face
IN cold water the moment Won reach a
FaShstand. 1t you want to remove all
trace of dust and smoke, rub vour face
well with vaseline or cold cream, and
wipe it off on a dry towel. The towel
etter the wiping will show you where
the dirt has gone. Then you may wash
your face in hot water if you will. There
is nothing like hot, really hot, water, for
the complexion. 1t keeps not only clean,
l(ut clear.
III We know of one -housekeeper, SAYS the
Ladies Journal whose husband had con-
structed for her a special chair for baking
days; 1t was Of such a height that she
could sit at the table and mold her bread

HE COULDN'T SAY.

"Who's running this hotel, anyhow"
asked a landlord of a travelling man, who
wasn't disposed to accept the situation as
meekly as he might have done.
"Who's running this hotel ?"
"That's what 1 said"
"Wel, I can't say. I haven made up
my mind yet whether it's the cockroaches
or the nocturnal insects that make sleep
nothing but a fantastic dream of hope.
You'll have to figure it out for yourself"

of the State Business Agent, and the in
creasing business of his Office, render it
necessary that the above ordes should be

BY PAoF J. P. STEELE, MOBILE, ALA.
Once upon an evening bleary,
While / sat me, dreamy, dreary,
In the sunshine, thinking over
Passing things in days of yore;
While 1 nodded, nearly sleeping,
Gently came a something creeping
Up my back, like water seeplng-
Seeming upward from the floor.
'''Tfs a cooling breeze " L muttered,
From the regions meath the floor
Only this, and nothing more"
And distinctly I remember
It was in one wet September,
OF creation that 1t bore,
Had for weeks and weeks been soaking
In the meanest, most provoking
Foggy rains that without Joking
We had ever seen before;
So I knew it must be very
Cool and damp beneath the floor
Very cold beneath the floor.
So sat me, half way mapping,
In the sunshine, stretching, Gaping,
Craving water, but delighted
With the breeze from meath the floor,
Till l found me growing colder,
And the stretching waxing holder,
And myself a feeling older
Older than I'd fell before;
Feeling that my joints were sitter
Than they were in days Of yOre-
Sitter than they'd been before.
All along my back the creeping
Goodness Don was rushing, Ieaping,
.3if count ess frozen demons
4 Were attempting to explore
AL the cavities (the varmints)
'TWiXt me and my neither garments,
Up into my hair and downward
Through my boots into the floor;
Then l found myself a shaking
Slight at first, but more and more
Every moment more n more.
Soon I knew what twas that shook me;
Twas the ager, and it took me
Into heavy clothes-to every
Place where there was warmth in sto'e;
Shook me till my teeth were Gathering,
Till the tea they brought went scattering
From the cup, while all my warming
Made me colder than before;
Shook me till it had exhausted
All its powers to shake me more
Had not strength to shake me more.
Then it rested till the morrow,
When it came with all the horror
That it owned, or cen could borrow
Shaking harder than before;
And from that day damp and dreary,
When 1 sat all dreamy, bleary,
1t has made diurnal visits,
Shaking, shaking, oh, so sore !
Shaking off my boots, and shaking
Me to bed, If nothing more
Fully this, if nothing more.
And to day the swallows fitting
Round my cottage see me sitting
MeOdily within the sunshine,
just inside my silent door,
Waiting for the ager, seeming
Like a man forever dreaming,
And the sunlight on me streaming
Throws no shadow on the floor;
For I'm now too thin from ager
To make shadows on the floor
Nary shadOw-any more!
