The shillelah is not a mere stick

skillfully cut off. With constant care it

root that can be shaped into handle

New style of Coon Hunting.

The inhabitants Of the mountains west
Of this place are great coon hunters.
Some nights ago Bill Benchoff and
Colonel Yingling started out with half
dozen dogs and two boys to carry the
p!no torches. A coon was raised on the
east side Of the Monterey, and the dogs
chased 1t down through a deep and
rough ravine and up a rocky spur on
tho west. After a climb of an hour
Bcnchof and Yingling at last came up
with the dogs. They had run the coon
into tree and were snarling and bark.
ing around underneath. The bovs
whirled tho torches and Benchoff banged
away at what he thought was the coon.
but no animal tumbled.
Yingling in the meantime had been
tearing paper and trying to ignite a
match, but it was damp and would only
splutter. Benchof was deriding him
when suddenly great ball of fire illu.
minated space. Yingling had succeeded
in igniting his match and was emptyinp
roman candle into the tree.
The first ball struck a branch and
burst and the second hit the coon
plumb center" Its fur caught fire
and with yell it came rolling down
among the angry dogs. The third ball
revealed two more coons in the tree. and
Benchoff's rife dropped one, while Ying-
hing, with the last ball in the candle. hit
the limb on which the third coon clung
with pitiful terror, and it lost it's hold
and tumbled into the mouths of the
waiting dogs.
They got six more coons that night
with the help of Yingling's candles, and
now the colonel regularly shoots the
romans and Benchoff shoots the gun.
They are the most successful coon hunt
rs In all the region.-Gettysburg Pa.)

A nautical term comes with kind Of
shock in art criticism. but there was a
certain pertinency in the remark of the
good mayor of Gloucester. Mass. who
said. speaking of the picture of a prede-
cessor in his Office, that it was a pretty
good likeness. but with a man of his
style of features profile view would
never be as effective as though it were
taken a little more "head on."-New

WAITING.

Af1oat at her moorings my frafl shsllop lies
BY the brink of the mystical river
Deep, deep Is the water, and no one who tries
Can fathom Its depth with mis- bodily eyes
To look is to shrink and to shiyer;
And the rushes shine, and the tall tules blow,
And asphodel tangles, they blossom and grow
Like gateway here by the river
Like an awesome gateway they bend and they
Their shadows, which kiss and which CULVER
Down, down through the depths Of the river
And darker more dark than the river.
sit In my shallop-I watch and wait
BY the brink of the mystical river,
And though it be early or though It be late
There are many who pass through the asphodea
And some they look downward and SILVER,
And some OF them smile as their shallop un-
ties
They smile with their lips and they smile With
their eyes
As they drift with the now OF the river
AS they drift and they sail toward the country
that lies
Affair from the shadows that culver
Down, down through the depths Of the river,
And darker, more dark than the river.
know not how long my frail shallop shall lie
BY the brink Of the mystical river;
know that its moorings will loose by and by,
And out and between where the asphodels tie,
In shadows which kiss and which culver,
Ny shallop must pass with the wind in its sail,
And when It is set there is laught will avail
must drift with the flow Of the river;
must drift with the flow, must head With the
gale
Nor let me look downward and shiver,
Though chill with damp Of the river
The awesome, the mystical river.
