Quick Shooting in Border Days.

"Have you any idea how fast man
could shoot a pistol in the border daysf"
said j. W. Delany, Montana ranch
man. ga man who couldn't pull a
trigger so fast that you couldn't distin-
guish between the successive shots was
slow. When they emptied their guns it
sounded like one long report. And pull !
Why, I've seen men that could kill you
before you could shoot if you had a gun
leveled at them. Fact. Take the time
when Doc Hamilton, the notorious bad
man of Colorado, killed Sheriff Harrity
in Denver. Hamilton had been wanted
for several killings aud was dead shy.
When he turned corner he'd walk
away round near the edge of the pave
ment. Afraid somebody would get the
drop on him if he turned too sharp, you
know. One day he was in a hurry,
however, and ran around corner and
looked square into Winchester held by
Harrity.
"'Well, Doc, got you, says Harrity.
"'You've got too strong hand, Har-
rity, and can't call you,' says Hamil-
ton, taking it cool and easy as you
please.
"'Yes, full house, Doc; guess you had
better travel on in front.
"Hamilton, was standing with his UNI
brella on his hip, leaning on it. He
looked the sheriff square in the eye.
Mind you, the rifle wasn't four feet from
him, aud leveled straight for his head.
Just as Doc started to move runaway
horse came down the street. Involun-
tarily Harrity glanced in that direction.
Doc saw his eyes waver for an instant,
pulled his gun-y0u see he had his hand
on his hip-and shot Harrity stone dead
before he could pull the trigger of his
rifle. Washington News.

A UNIQUE Industry.

One of the unique industries of Key
West, Fla, is the catching and curing
of sponges, and there is not anything
about this queer animal that one of the
gray haired old colored sponge fishers
cannot tell. The sponges grow in beds
on the coral reefs from nucleus very
much as coral does, and the complete
growth occupies but seven or eight
months. The sponge fishing feet of a
score or more of small sloops go out over
the beds and drag for the sponges with
an iron claw at the end of line. Then
from the brown mass OF oozy, sandy
sponges the different kinds are sorted
out and laid on racks in the sun to dry.
Then the sand and coral and shell are
worked out and the "trimmer" with a
pair of shears trims the edges and irreg-
ularities off, after which the sponges are
ready for shipment, unless they are to
be bleached for bath sponges, for which
purpose only comparatively small nun.
Der are used, for it is to the various arts
and trades that most of them go. The
coarsest grade is the rough brown "grass
SPONGE" then comes a close fbred,
tough variety called "glove sponge"
but the fine soft variety that make man
in a bath tub smile is the "lamb's wool, "
and it is this kind that is bleached to a
snowy whiteness and sent to the drug
gist trade. Washington Star.

Singing to the Herd.

Some cowboys and cattlemen laugh.
ingly assured me that they only sing on
watch to keep themselves awake; others
say they sing, talk loud or make a noise
Just to let the cattle know they are ap-
preaching so as not TO frighten aud
stampede them, but the greater number
hold-as I myself had read and been led
to believe-that the sound of the human
voice, singing, talking or calling out
cheerfully, quiets and treasures the ami
mails. However it may be, they all sing
aud talk or whistle to them, aud among
my most vivid and picturc-like recollec-
tions is one of certain night when an
aching head and heavy heart held me
awake, and, slipping from the house in
the little hours, l went aimlessly across
the level plain towards where a big herd
was camped.
When within three or four hundred
yards of the bunch could see, under
the white Texas moonlight, the dark
mass of cattle and occasionally a sIl-
houette, between me and the sky, of one
of the guards on his pony, and in the in
tense loneliness of the plains night the
singing of the one boyish voice holding
his untaught, unconscious way through
"a Fountain Filled With Blood" and
the whistling of his companion on a lit
tie harmonicum, "Home, Sweet Home, F"
as they came round past me in turn,
were as lovely and touching sounds as l
ever heard.-Kansas City Times.

And helpless in his agony. Is fain x

With shadows, silent waits, on bended limb

As weary sons Of toll long for the night,
And as the fettered spirit longs for flight,

A Trick of the Eve.

By cutting three strips of white paper
of the Same length exactly, with one OF
them half as wide as the others, one OF
neatest tricks of optical illusion can be
produced. If those of the same width
are laid crosswise, the narrow strip
placed in the centre, 1t will invariably
seem as if the broad strips were con-
siderably shorter than the narrow Que.
The illusion is enhanced by laying the
pieces Of paper on black surface. By
placing the three strips in the form of an
inverted en-" and using the narrow
strip for the diagonal line, the latter in
turn will appear much shorter than the
other two. To an Impractical eye the
illusion will seem very remarkable iu-
deed when it is demonstrated that all
the strips are of the same length. st.

The labor troubles in Lancashire,
England, which ended by compromise,
take rank as the greatest struggle be-
tween capital and labor which the world
has seen. The campaign lasted evenly
weeks, involved directly aud indirectly
125, 900 employees, aud cost IN loss of
wages alone $40, 900, 900. Each side was
equally willing at the outset to engage
in test of strength, aud at last they
were just as glad to call truce with
the honors even. Great sacrifices have
been endured, with no result, save that
both parties to the conflict have had all
desire for fight taken out OF them, and
the advantages of mutual compromise
are for the time being fully conceded.
The operatives have in the terms of
peace conceded just shade more than
the masters, but there has been really no
victory for either side. The plans agreed
upon for settling future disputes seem
to be the best ever devised thus far.
They assure the necessary stability in the
cotton market by limiting all future
changes to five per cent. at intervals of
not less than one year.

Three Tall BROTHERS.

''The life of Maine woodsman and
hunter is very healthy" said Charles E.
Hayden, OF Auburn, sand it is not an
unusual thing that men who follow the
life from boyhood develop into the verit-
able giants of old. While l was at
Castle Hill, Aroostook, made the ac-
quaintance of three brothers, who were
said to be the tallest men in the county.
Their names were Allie, Elihu and
Elidad Frank. These three brothers,
laid along ina line on the floor, would
measure twenty-one feet to an inch in
their stocking feet, and without their
caps on. Two of them were more than
seven feet tall, and the other one was a
little less. Old Mr.. Frank, their father,
was taller than any of them. Their oc-
cupaHon is that of woodsmen, farmers,
hunters and horse swappers. Lewiston
