A Man OF Many Wounds.

Henry Gibbs, who was shot through
the body Sunday night, is again able TO
be ont. This man is walking bullet
pouch. He is man 81 years old, and
was born in Clay county, Kentucky
Two years ago he moved to Jellico, and
since his residence there ne has become
involved in many difficulties.
The first was with Thomas Cotton, who
shot him in the left ankle, the ball lodg-
ing in the joint. The second time he
was shot by Nathan Collins, the bah
taking effect in his left knee Joint, and
remaining there. The third ARRAY origi.
mated at Cumberland Gap, when he was
ambushed by seven men. Colan Turner
shot Gibbs i'll the right side with two
loads of buckshot and birdshot. Over
200 shot have been picked from his side
and shoulder. AT the same time Al
Cole shot him with q 44-calibre in the
right breast, the ball coming out under
the shoulder blade.
Gibbs got three of his wounds in this
battle-the fourth, fifth and sixth times
by Andy Griswold, one ball taking effect
in the right breast, another through the
right shoulder, and the third entering
his left thigh, and. ranging downward,
lodging i'll the fleshy part of the leg. The
sixth time was Sunday night, in diff
Guilty with Harry Broughton. who shot
him through the body, the ball entering
on the left side, and was cut from under
the skin on the right side. This laid
him up for seven days.
He has been cut fifteen times, and
carries the scars to prove his assertion.
He does not seem any the worse for his
wounds, and talks in joking manner
about his many shooting and cutting
.affrays. Louisville Courier-Journal

May seek some neighbours lighted room.
Though snow may show no path before
The house. we still can flnd the door,
And there, as round the brands may spread
The creeping fire Of CHEEKY red,
Our feet from snow, from wind our head,
Are warm in winter weather.
Wherever day may give our road,
BY hills or hollows oversnowed,

Or bridged ice of frozen brooks,
Still may we all, as night may come
Know where TO ilnd peaceful home,
And glowing fire for fingers numb
With cold In winter weather.

Avoiding a blockade.

One wagon was loaded with about six
tons of plate or sheet iron. The other
was held down by several thousand
bricks. One traction car was going up
the avenue and another was crossing it
Behind that was horse car. Just then
bakers wagon cut in on one side, and
yeast nordescript came from the other
corner. when the big "off" mule in the
iron wagon wagged his left ear and
stopped. The brick cart stopped. So
do did the up car and the cross car, with
the horse car humping up behind it. 1t

the red bearded man walloped it with

SNYDER AND thu Wild Cat.

Chauncey Snyder, who resides upon
the road leading to the Overlook mount
ain. for some time past has missed sheep
from his flock. and after light snow
which had fallen he saw the tracks of a
huge wild cat in the field. BY the light
Of the new moon he lay in wait for the
lover of lamb and mutton should he
make another nocturnal visit He had
his faithful dog with him. and it was
near midnight before the sheep destroy
er put in an appearance.
He made straight for lamb, and Sny-
der bid his dog to Ego for him" Jack,
a huge bulldog, with bound left his
master, and soon the cat and dog were
in a deadly conflict. The wild cat was
a monster, with claws full half an inch
in length and as sharp as needles, and
when Snyder neared the combatants the
snow was crimson with blood. The cat
had n decided advantage over the dog
when Snyder came to the rescue, but he
dared not shoot for fear Of killing the
faithful animal.
He raised his gun and brought it down
with full force upon the wild cats skull.
The animal reeled and seemed staggered,
but it was for q moment only. With
glaring eyes it sprang upon Snyder's
shoulders and sent its teeth deep into
the flesh. Jack was up in time and
grappled with the brute, and then came
a rough and tumble fight IN which all
three engaged. Snyder rained blow after
blow upon the cats head with his gun
barrel MIL the ferocious beast lay quiv-
ering in death.
Both Snyder and his dog had paid
dearly for Their victory. The former had
a deep wound In his shoulder while the
latter's flesh was lacerated and torn, and
the blood ebbed from. dozen gaping
wounds. The animal weighed thirty
four pounds and is the largest of its
species ever killed in the CatskillS-
Kingston Argus.

Of the Lake Erie and Western, wheeling

A Curious Operation.

Did you ever sec a spider change his
skin7 1t Is an interesting sight, one
that will repay any one for the time lost
in waiting for the novel event to take
place. When preparing for the change
tho spider stops eating for several days,
and makes his preliminary arrangements
by fastening himself with &. short thread
Of web to one Of the main lines of his
snare, this to hold him firmly while he
proceeds to updress. Firss the skin
cracks all around the thorax, being held
only by the fore part.
Next the abdomen is uncovered, and
then comes the struggle to free the legs
He works and kicks vigorously, seeming
TO have very hard time Of it. Fifteen
minutes Of continued perseverance, how
ever, brings him out of his old dress,
the struggle causing him to appear limp
and lifeless for some time after it is fin
ished. Gradually he comes back to life,
brighter and more beautiful than before
the trying ordeal was begun. -St. Louis

The newspapers have done their
full duty toward the people in try
ing to make this Legislature stay at
Lansing and attend to its duties, but
it must be given up as a hopeless
task.
Regularly every Friday both
houses adjourn until Monday night.
They might as we'll make it Tuesday.
Regularly every week, like all its
predecessors, this Legislature really
robs the state treasury every week
of about 81 900.
The real cause of this Is the rail
road pass which all the railroads
excepting the d. L. & n. system,
have supplied the members with in
in defiance Of the peoples wishes.
The people need not expect any
legislation seriously antagonistic t"
the railroads. These passes are
bribes-are given as such, and must
have the effect Of brides.
There are many of the present
members of this legislature who will
never again darken the doors of the
capital as Legislators. Their places
will be taken by men who can be de.
pended on to keep pledges. The
honorable ones excepted in this legis
lature will be remembered and recog.
nized by the people. The faithful
conduct OF the few who now ignore
passes, and constantly express them
selves as DESTROYS Of remaining at
their desks or in the committee room
