A Mighty Fine Shot.

Old Capt. Prout, for whom Prout's
Neck, now we'll known summer re-
sort, is named, was a noted gunner in
the days when water fowl were plenty
in that vicinity. early one spring,
1860 or thereabouts," said an old set
tier to me, "he brought home from the
West Indies a gun, the like of which
had never been seen by the natives
1t was a muzzle loader, about a gauge,
and weighed some 80 pounds. Soon
after its arrival there came a heavy
storm, and the next morning a pond a
couple of acres in extent back of the
captains barn was covered with ducks
so thick that another one could not
possibly have been squeezed in.
"Here was an opportunity try to
the new gun, and loadingit with the
regulation charge, of a quarter pound
of powder and half pound of shot, he
sailed forth. At the corner of the
barn he cooked the piece and stepped
out with it held in readiness. When
within about 40 yards all the ducks
jumped as one bird. The captain
aimed at the middle of the mass and
fired" p"
Here my informant stopped as if
expecting some encouragement, and
somewhat against my will | felt con-
strained to ask: How many did he
get ?"
"Wal," he replied, ."he didn't get
any; he undershot, but he picked up
three bushels of ducks legs."-Forest

The parent Of insomnia or wakefullness
is in nine cases out of ten dyspeptic
stomach. Good digestion gives sound
sleep, Indigestion interferes with 1t. The
brain and stomach sympathizes. One of
the prominent symptoms Of weak state
OF the gastric organs is disturbance of
the great nerve entrepot, the brain. In
vigorate the stomach, and you restore the
equilibrium to the great center. A most
reliable medicine for the purpose Is Hos
letters Stomach Bittcrs, which Is far pre-.
ferable to mineral sedatives and powerful
narcotics which, though they may for a
time exert soporific influence upon the
brain, soon ceases to act, and invariably
injure the tone OF the stomach The Bit
ters, on the contrary, restore activity to
that all important organ, and their bene-
ficient influence is reflected In sound
sleep and a tranquil state of the nervous
system. A wholesome impetus is like
wise given to the action of the liver and
bowels by its use.

He gave an almost unconcerned glance

then walked away. 1t was "ground

secure that coin, so I walked into the
restaurant and asked the proprietor if

wooden bar that had been nailed
across a door leading from the base

There was much litter and dirt
down there, and in searching for the
coin I found many others, which had

Fooled by a Sharp Filibuster

In 1859 Harry Maury, a midship-
man who had resigned from the service
of the United States government, was
in command of brig off Mobile bay.
The vessel was loaded with filibusters
and was overhauled by a revenue cut
ter. An officer went aboard in the
night with instructions to seize the yes-
sci and bring her to Mobile. Maury,
who was equal to the emergency, pre-
pared himself by unshackling the
anchor from the chain and fastening
a lantern to a pole.
When the vessel arrived at Dog river
bar it was hailed from the cutter and
ordered to come to.
Then came the order, "Let go your
anchor" Maury let go. "Pay out
80 fathoms of chain |" was the next
order. Maury ran the chain through
the hawser hole and over the rail back
on deck. He was ordered next to hoist
a light, which he did by lighting the
lantern already affixed to the pole and
stricking the latter in the mud. He
then, when all was quiet, put off down
the bay, leaving the cutter watching
the light, which it did until morning.
In the meantime the officer from
the cutter who was in charge of the
filbustering vessel was down in the
cabin playing cards and drinking
champagne. On arrival at the en-
trance of the harbor the officer was
tapped on the shoulder and told
where they we're, and asked if he
wished to go ashore. A boat was at
his service and he took it, returning
to the cutter in time to share the
chagrin of his mates.-San Diego Sun.

A Very Pretty Story.

The favorite wife of the sultan was
once poor girl, living in the coal
mines of France. She was a beauti-
full girl, and some charitable person
found her occupation in a famous
dress-making establishment in France.
She was sent to Constantinople with
dresses ordered by the sultan's mother.
Nothing more was heard of her for
many years, until a little inheritance
was left her by relative, and notices
were published asking for her where
abouts. In answer to these notices a
wonderful equippage, escorted by
mounted eunuchs, stopped at the door
of the embassy, and the sultan's only
legal wife stepped down to declare
herself the once Flora Collin, and re-
nounce the legacy in favor of her
kindred, who are still poor.-Ex.
