One little voice piped out: me want
a dun too" In fact, that was just what
they all wanted. They were too young
to be trusted with real guns, but wanted
something new and something that
would shoot.
Charlie, who was little more than q
baby, though he never liked to be called
one, was the first to be served.
His was a very simple corn-gun, a
straight stick of hickory about a foot
long and split at one end. Fig. l shows
how it is made and used. The split is
pulled apart, and a grain of corn put in,
then by pressing on it the grain is made
to Fly out with considerable force.
1t worked so we'll that all the other
boys wanted to make corn-guns too,
but Uncle Malon said he had some
thing better for them.
Several, at his request, went to hunt
some pine shingles, which were soon
found. These were cut into darts
slim tapering shaft, sharpened to q point
at the larger end as in Fig. ..
They were then balanced on the edge
of penknife so that the tail end just
tipped down, and from this place q

one end.
This string is two or three feet long
and fastened to n stick, by which the
dart is thrown.
In throwing, the dart will pass from
behind you forward, the knot slipping
out of the notch, leaving it free to sal
far away almost out of sight.
Once the dart is made so as to hang
with the point upward, you will find Nc
difficulty in learning to throw it.
Fig. shows a very clever springguI
which he next made. The boys hat
brought several good strong stalks o
elder, Sambucus Canadensis. Now don
try to remember this big Latin name
Every country boy knows better wha
is meant by elderberry, which we will
call it for the present.

Blockade Breaker !
BY T. c. DELEoN.

Tho g1bbous moon hung low in mid
western heaven, cleaning clear and
white on the snowy plain all about the
camp; but nearer in-on this side-the
high wall cast dense shadows, blacker
by contrast, for many yards. Then, as
the wall sentry walked back, Fauntle-
roy unroled tho Irvine, passing 1t
through his mouth to dampen out the
twist. With steady hand, but wildly
throbbing heart, he dropped 1t slowly
down. The depth to ground he could
not even guess, ignorant of the slope
beyond and If the wall were ditched;
but, after anxious space, he felt a
light touch, as perch were feeling the
line. Another pause and two distinct
pulls signalled him to haul up. The
sentry turned again; and he swiftly
drew up the hne-taut and heavy now
hand over hand, to avoid the noise OF
friction on the sill.
At length the end of heavy rope was
in; eager hands seized it, nimbly secur-
ing it to ring, used for refractory
captives. Then the four men listened
for the stoclSade sentry, scarce breath
ing rs he approached the window. This
time he paused, peering mechanically
into the shadow, while Evans heart
beat loud tattoo. But the soldier turned
carelessly, paced slowly away, and the
boy, forcing himself lightly through
the bars, grasped the rope securely
Down he went, hand over hand, his
feet carefully steering him from the
wall.
Halfway down, he heard the sentry

bail would be refused until the accused
had had another hearing, which was set
for next Saturday morning.
PrTTsBURG, Aug. A death notice has
been handed in to the newspaper Offices
announcing the death Of the five weeks
old child of H. G. Prick. This is the child
that it was said would be named for G. A.

With Fixed Bayonets the Soldiers Dis
persed n Riotous Gathering.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Aug. 4.-When 1t be-
came known in Homestead yesterday af-
ternoon that deputies had entered the
Carnegie steel works with warrants for
the arrest of Nevin Mcconnell and James
Dewey, Pinkerton detectives, on the
charge of murder. strikers to the number
of several hundred gathered in the vicin-
ity Of the works, but were dispersed. On
the depot platform was a crowd of
strikers, who began jeering the prison
ers. The few militiamen and deputies
found themselves unable to handle the ex-
cited throng, and the situation grew seri-
Gus.
Word was sent to Gen. Wiley. Five
minutes later a company from the 18th
Regiment arrived, fixed bayonets and
charged upon the crowd, and arrested
Thomas Bowen, who brandished a knife.
When the train pulled up Dewey and
stepped aboard. Major Crawford re
quested two deputies to take Bowen to
Pittsburg and lock him up.
This was not relshed by the crowd,
which made move as if to attempt Bow
ems rescue, but the bluecoats drove the
crowd back. Major Crawford detailed
eight members of his command to do
duty on the train.
At City Farm station was gathered an
other body of strikers, but to this place
also had been despatched company of
soldiers. The scenes convinced the Off
GERS in command of the provisional brig
ade that, despite the repeated protests of
the people Of Homestead, the presence of
the troops is still necessary.
More non union men arrived at the
Homestead mills this morning and went
to work at once. Supt. Potter said that
| the company was getting all the men il
needed.
The strikers profess to-day to feel as
| confident as ever of winning the fight, and
| they say that the satisfaction OF
the mill managers will soon give
place to chagrin and disgust when they
come to figure the cost of the material
| which the new men are spelling. Nearly
| all the work turned out SO far, they
claim, is imperfect.
At a meeting last night the men of thu
{ mechanical departments of the mills ant
+, the day laborers decided to remain firm
| David Lynch made an address, in which
| he said that if the men went back nov
they would be working at so cents a day
in a few years.
1t is stated to-day by Acting Chairman
| Crawford of the Advisory Committee
that Hugh O'Donnell has gone away fol
recreation by advice of the committee.

Searching For Money that q Thief Hid
Near Lock Haven, Pa.
Lock HAVEN, Pa, Aug. A senea-
ton has been created in this city by the
appearance of two men from Altoona, who
state that they are in search of fortune
of $72, 900, which a man by the name of
Lufold a noted thief and gambler now
serving out a sentence in the West ern
penitentiary, stated he buried on the
mountain above Lock Haven.
The story as told by Lufold is that he
obtained the money by theft and gam
bling, and, fearing arrest, he had one
night, while out coon hunting with Mer
chant Winner Of this city, buried the en-
tire amount at the root of an old stump.
Shortly afterward he was arrested tried,
convicted and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for IS years.
He has yet about. five years to serve, but
he thought with money to employ counsel
he might get pardon, and hence sent the
two men to get his buried treasure.
An accurate description was given of
| the place where the money was alleged to
have been buried, but at this writing it
has not been located.

than the former. Near the other end
on the upper side should be a notch, c.
Lastly, procure n good piece of tough
hickory or ash for spring. 1t should
be about one foot long by one-fourth of
an inch wide, and thin enough to bend
readily. a fiat piece of spring steel is
excellent If you have it.
One end of this spring is thrust into
the notch at c and the other bent
around and passed through the larger
opening, and so that the end just pro-
jects through the lower one, as is plain
ly shown in the illustration.
Beans and corn grains furnish the
best ammunition, but small pebbles
will serve. Now, with the spring in
position, place n bean against it, then
with the forefnger of the left hand
push the spring up from below until it
is out OF the notch, when, quick as a
wink, it will Ego off"
Last of all, Uncle Malon made sling
of a piece of leather and some string,
but cautioned them against carelessness
with it. A diamond-shaped piece OF
leather with a small hole in the center
has two strings about eighteen inches
long fastened to it as seen at Fig. 4.
Wrap the end of one string securely
around the forefinger of the right hand
and hold the other between the thumb
and forefinger. Lay n small stone in the
piece of leather and whirl 1t around
several times, letting go of the free
string at just the right time, and you
will be astonished to see how far you
can throw.
OF all these toys 1 think the dart is
really the best, for it flies so far and SC
gracefully, but the spring gun will
probably afford more enjoyment
most boys.
But, boys, be careful how you USE
them, and don't shoot about the house
and scatter beans and corn grains ovel
