An En.otixs shot.

Bill Philip, big, good -natured
Irishman, Red Bill we called him.
told me he never shot gun In his
life. He always had a fine dog,
usually hound, and was fond of Ro-
ing hunting with some one of US
hunters, taking dog along on a chain.
Passing his cabin one morning L" mo-
ticed his dog-a powerful hound
and / said to Bill: what did you cut
his tail of for?" swell, tell ye,
saws Bill. "Jim Mason and me went
hunting up the Hog Meadow Creek
the other day, and just below where
the tote road crosses it we jumped a
big buck. The dog sees him and
gives big jump and jerked me down
on hands and face, and away ne
went chain and all. The deer run
across the alder bottom, and was just
at the culass when Jim shot at It,
We went and looked and Jim says
We'll get it; here is lots Of blood;
and sure the blood was spattered al
over. We followed the trail 'dowr
across the hardwood ridge to TIT
river and over into the big blow
down about a mile, finding BLOOD
all the way, when the dos
came to us. And phat do think
Every bit that Jim hit the deer wa

Col. KeIiar Anderson, the Man Who De-
ned Desperado Lindsay.

ned Desperate Lindsay.
All who are at all familiar with the
insurrectiun OF the coal miners In
Tennessee know the story OF the
heroism OF Col. Kellar Anderson, OF
the Tennessee National Guard, and
his calm determination to sacrifice
his life rather than betray his trust.
He was In command OF the stock
ade at Coal Creek with $50 men.
The telegraph lines had been cut
and the little garrison was cut on
from all communication with the
outside world. The first assault OF
the miners was made after repeated
warnings. So severe was the return
fire that the miners retired, though
they carried several dead and wound
ed with them. Soon another attack
followed, and there were cas-
ualties on both sides, but the
result was the same. Then there
was third attack, with like
result. This time squad OF miners
got separated from the main BODY
and In sortie from the fort they
were captured. Then there was q
pause, A flag of truce was raised ano

Ianansse and America.

There is strong desire on the part
of Young Japanese to come to the
United States to acquire or perfect
themselves in the English language
and complete their education.
The welcome given to earlier stu
dents has led many who have entirely
insufficient means to undertake the
tourney to come, indeed, with scarcely
more than enough to pay their pas
sage to this country.
Others, better provided for, nave
no idea OF the increased cost OF living
here, while many hope to receive aid
from persons who may become inter
ested in them here, or to hnd some
employment while they are carrying
on their studies. :,
The practical results are not al
ways fortunate, and many of the stu
dents referred to would be better OF
| at home.
The reputatian Of having been edu
Gated in Europe or America has
certain value at present in Japan
however, and the japanese students
are, almost without a single excep
ton, a credit to their native country

The Great Krupp Gun. 81 rect Long
That shoots fifteen Miles.

Amo 0HtAN AAheFF
That shoots Fiftesn Miles.
Through the courtesy OF Herr Lau-
ter. an expert German engineer, we
have obtained a cut OF the biggest
gun on earth. The sketch was made
by Herr Lauter and shows the gun as
il will probably be exhibited at the
Worlds Fair. When Lieutenant Ba-
ker suggested to the Krupp represen-
tatiye that this gun be left on the
trucks, Herr Lauter said 1t would de-
pend altogether on whether they had
their own car or were compelled TO
use one manufactured in this coun-
try. A special track will nave to be
laid to the fair grounds, over which
to haul the gun. A heavy foundation
will have to be prepared on which the
gun can stand. In speaking OF the
matter Lieutenant Baker said: "Our
biggest guns are about forty-ive feet
feet In length. The Krupp gun Will
be, l think, about eighty-seven feet
long. II 1t were fred on the lake
front the conclusion would be so great
that it would shatter nearly all the

a marley ensued. The miners SAID
that they were ready for compro-
mise and that If Colonel Anderson
would bring the prisoners in person
to the railway station and speak to
the people everything might be ami
cably adjusted. They promised him
safe escort. Then Colonel Anderson,
who up to this time had been the
only man in Tennessee in the Held
who had stood up with uncompromis-
ing faithfulness and loyalty in favor
of the law, mounted the ramparts
and told the men that though he had
wept over their grievances he could
make no compromise with them.

II will make no compromise, but II
YOU think can help you l will &c
with YOU"
Then, unarmed, he left the stock
ade alone with the prisoners and ac
companied the mob to the railway
station. There he began speech U
the people, and pleaded with them u
respect the law. The miners listened
in silence, and were very quiet The.
were evidently waiting for something
to happen. There was burly rutfial
approaching Col. Anderson from DE
hind. When he reached within arm
length of the soldier he showed tn
muzzle of a revolver against Col, An
derson's temple and handed him
paper to sign ordering the garrison I
surrender. The man who held In
pistol was the notorious Bud Limo
saw. who had already killed eight 0
fen men. Col Anderson slowl
turned, lifted his eyes to those OF tn
outlaw, and dropped them in col
tempt. "Shoot, you ID coward

treacherous rioters who had wit
false promises enticed the gallant SO
dier from his command were awe
The pistol fell, and no shot was fire.

Mosquitoes.

There are very few people who at
tempt to deal with mosquitoes as
they do with other insects. Suner-
ance seems to be the general rule. In
many places in the mountains this
insect disappears early in July, but
in the lowlands near the seashore ne
takes up his quarters for the season.
There appears to be no remedy quite
so effectual for this pest as the odor
of pennyroyal. The essential oil sold
in the drug stores is hardly so effect
ual as the fresh herb itself. A bou-
ouet of these fragrant herbs will usu-
ally drive away this troublesome pest
When mosquitoes attack community
in force, they are best exercised by
smuge or smoldering fire of pine
boughs or fragrant wood, smothered
to give forth thick smoke. rms
smoke is not especially disagreeaDle
to the people in the open air, but It's
effect in driving away mosquitoes Is
remarkable.
The best antidote for the bite OF a
MOSQUITO is undoubtedly ammonia,
weakened with little water or salt
and water. Some people go so far as
to press the poison out OF the bite
with some small metal instrument
like the point of watch key, before
applying the antidote. This pre-
vents the painful swelling that some
times occurs. AS in other cases, zone
mans meat is another mans poison,
and the same remedy will not apply
to all individuals. Some find cam
phor most efficacious, and salt ant
water will not avail. Ammonia
however, seems to be generally sue
cessful as a neutralizer of the mos
q quito poison. Where there are larg'
, quantities of mosquitoes and no rea
son for their appearance is apparent
IL is we'll to look about the premise
for something which attracts them
Q An uncovered barrel OF rain waite
! will bring them in hordes, and dam
( places and stagnant pools are spot
= where they delight to congregate.
There are great many objection
TO mosquito bars, the chief OF whic
Is the sense of suffocation which thel
p use engenders. They keep out mos
v ouitos, but they also keep out tn
:. pure, fresh air. 1t is better to endur
y the presence of the pests or to us
# other remedies against them, than
S keep out fresh air by the use OF me-
/, at the windows and doors, or In Cal
