looked at her husband in tlmld way.
She said that for several days he would
not allow the least bit of noise in the
house, and that he butchered some
pigs before their time because OF being
affected by their squeal. His daughter
and ls'or husband had lived with them
for two years and they had to leave on

months-old baby. There were two

Genfus Rewarded.

Congressman sometimes adopt queer
ecpedients to gain the good will OF
their constituents. Years ago, mem.
Der from a western state was afraid
that his first term would be his last, as
he had not managed to make himself a
power in congress. While he was de-
batting what he should do, friend
said: "You live near the center OF the
United States, don't you?" "Yes." "
"Then, why don't you introduce bill
to have the capital moved to the prin-
cipal town in your district?" The
congressman introduced the bill, and
the people Of his district at once con-
cluded he was great man and sent
him back for another term. He rein
troduced the bill in the next congress,
and, although it was promptly pigeon
holed in committee, his constituents
gave him third term, as reward for
his genius

a DECEPTIVE TARGET,
It Costs Something to Learn to Hit the
Dangling Bail.

A shooting gallery popularity that
has recently came into popularity con-
sists in very light and fragile ball of
blown glass, or in some cases hollow
egg shell suspended from string.
This always attracts the inexperi-
enced marksmen, because the natural
destructiveness inherent in human ma
ture causes him to prefer to shoot at
something which he can smash rather
than at target that gets no harm
from his accuracy.
Therefore, says the New York Sun,
he wastes his three shots, at one and
two-thirds cents shot, not on targets,
but on the suspended mark. And he
never hits it.
The experienced man in rife range
gunnery wastes no time on the de-
ceitful ball He knows that it can't be
hit. Probably he knows it from ex-
perience, for it is one of those facts
that no man will believe until he has
tried it for himself.
The reason for It is that a very light
hollow glass ball, or a blown egg if
properly hung on a slender thread,
Will OOuRe any Dulleb IudU ever CdIuC
from a gun barrel. The air that the
bullet piles up in front of it blows the
light mark out of the projectile's path
until it has passed, after which the
target swings back to it's original po-
sition.
This is very provoking for the marks
man, who, if he be a good shot, has
the doubtful satisfaction of seeing his
target execute three quick lodges at
the aforementioned price of one and
two-thirds cents per dodge.
There is nothing, however, SO re-
numerative to the proprietor as these
I pendent marks, for the gunners, pro-
voked at their lack of success, will keep
on and ON and on trying to hit mark
compared to which pin head would
be barn door shot, and they only
give it up in disgust when the cost be-
gins to tell upon them or when some
wiser friend explains their lack of sue
i cess.
Two dollars Is a cheap price to pay
for the knowledge that one of these
hanging targets is better mark for
/ baseball than for bullet.

Misunderstanding Away.
The men who enjoyed prominence in
the military and civil service of the
confederacy are rapidly passing from
the arena of national politics, says the
Augusta Chronicle. Below is record
of such as are still in active life at
Washington: The senior United States
senator from Alabama, John T. Nor
gan, was a brigadier general in the
confederate army: and her other sena-
tor, James L. Pugh, was a member of
the confederate congress. Joseph
Wheeler, who attained the rank of
lieutenant general in the confederate
service, has for twelve years been the
representative in congress from the
Eighth Alabama district. The senior
senator from Georgia, John B. Gordon,
was likewise a lieutenant general in
the army Of the confederacy. Edward
C. Walthall, of Mississippi, major
general in the confederate service, and
of late the junior United States senator
from his native state, while not now in
active politics, having resigned for the
balance of his present term in the up
per house. has been elected for and IS
confidently expected to take his seat n
that honorable body in March, 1905,
The senior United States senator from
Missouri. Francis NJ. Cockrell, was a
brigadier general in the confederate
army; and the other senator from that
commonwealth, George G. Vest. held
positions in both houses of the cOnfet3-
crate congress The present senior

and South Carolina, Matt ". Ransom

sentatives from Tennessee ir the upper

A BENEVOLENT BARON.
His Big Winnings on the Turf Distributed
Among the Poor.

Among the Poor.
Rather more than year since, says
the London Telegraph, we gave list
of the charitable donations bestowed
bv Baron de Hirsch in 1893 upon the
hospitals, homes and benevolent insti-
tutions which he had selected as recip-
tents of the large sums of money won
by him upon the turf in public stakes
in 1891 and 1892. In the first of these
years the baron won about S25, 900 and
in the second year about S175, 200, in
eluding such small items as moneys
paid to the second in selling races and
the prizes attaching to second and third
places in general races. Altogether
the sum amounted to about S21O.OO0,
and this munifcent gift represented
the baron's gross winnings in public
stakes. from which no deduction was
made for the expense of training large
stud of horses, for travelling charges,
forfeits, stakes, Jockeys fees and other
items comprised in the large and
swollen bills with which owners of
race horses are but too familiar. 1t
was universally admitted that the for
tunate owner of the famous mare La
Fleche, by whom the greater portion
of the above named large sum was
won, had displayed great generosity
in giving away all his winnings for
charitable purposes without subtract
ing his expenses. What is to be said,
however. when, as in the present in
stance, the example set by the baron
in 1898 is not only followed but dupli-
Gated in 1894? During the racing sea-
son which close in November last
Baron de Hirsch's horses won in public
stakes about S37.5OO. This seemed to
him, and to the kindly almoner
through whom in both cases the
barons bounty has flowed, to be
but a small sum for distribu-
ton IN comparison with the no
| BILE contribution to London charities
made in the previous year Under
these circumstances the baron re-
| marked that, without establishing a
precedent, he had made up his mind to
| double the sum that his gross winnings
amounted to in 1888, and accordingly
he drew check for ST., 200, which he
handed to his friend for distribution.
1t was his wish that this sum should be
divided among London hospitals and
charitable institutions, and S66, 500 was
thus disposed of, the balance remain
ing having been reserved for sundry
smaller calls.
