Shooting Q PeIican.

If any of our readers contemplate hunting pelicans they should see Uncle John Cole, who can give them pointers Uncle John was up on Brady's lake "Wednesday morning in search of the succulent duck. While creeping up on the game he espied what he thought to be pelican standing under tree, and, without more ado, blaZed away. At the crack of the gun q man rose hastily from behind "blind" and clapped his hands behind him as though adjusting his hustle.
 What in the blankety-blank did you shoot me for?N demanded the man, ils he took his hands off his pants and cooked both barrels of his gun.
 Did I hit youY' inquired Uncle J Johnnie, innocentIy. Beg pardon. I thought was shooting at Felican."
 "Pelican be blankedln said the vic. tim. That's my pillowslip full of grub" and investigation showed this to be the case. The man, who is q tenant on Judge Parrott's place, had hung his sack of provender on limb while he secreted himself behind a "blindN and waited for the ducks 10 swim round and be shot. Four of his little boys were lying upon the ground under the ''pel- ican," and the wonder is how they escaped. Uncle John did some very rapid and satisfactory explaining, after which he summed up the damage. The stem of pipe carried in the man 5 hip-pocket was split and the bowl broken by the shot, which accounts for the slight injury sustained. Several shots penetrated the skin, notwith- standing the obstruction, but the wounds are of an insignificant nature. It was close shave, however, and it is pretty we'll agreed among our sports men that when it is ascertained Uncle Johnnie is in the woods they will either wear armor or return to town uatil all danger is over.

A WORD FROM NEBRASKA

Mr.. T. H. Leavitt the gentle man who has taken
such deep interest in promoting the Chautauqua
movement in the penitentiary at Lincoln. Neb.,
says in a letter of Oct. q "Our Prison Circle will
commence their readings next Sunday, 4th inst
We start with sixty members, thirty-fve of whom
are Of last years class and some of these have
read two years. There is a good degree of en-
thusiasm among the members, and anticipate
in the future, we have had in the past, some
close study and good work among the members
and beneficial results. We simply help these men
to help themselves. They seem to appreciate the
opportunity and have improved it in manner and
degree commendable to them, and encouraging to
Us. Shall improve somewhat on the supply and
distribution Of books and magazines We provide
fifteen sets OF books and twenty copies of the
Chautauquan This gives one set of books to four
men and one magazine to three men. We
| are much gratifed to note in the last MIRROR
the report of your Circle already commenced and
the encouraging features concerning it which you
note. We very much hope that Miss Kimball
will 60 to the forthcoming Prison Congress
to be held this month at Pittsburg, Pa, and talk
to them-as she can-about this work as she has
seen 1t here and learned of it from you and us
and others-and that in some way it may be more
generally introduced into our PRISONS"

connection with the current studies, and any other

cause some of you to abandon old methods for

members of this class, and for this one the only
thing that be said in its favor is that it is not

that there is not member of this class who,

nightly meeting which took place in the chapel OF
this institution on Sunday last. There was not a

the rOll-call with an appropriate quotation. which
is good augury for the continued success Of the
Circle. The question.box was brought into requi-

extensively availed of, the number of questions
submitted sufficient to predict successful is
