At last the elevator in the shoe shop is ready

more will he fancy himself upon the briny deep

no! Boys, heave!" For the past two weeks he
has been compelled to haul up all small packages
to the second and third floors by the use of a
block and tackle; now, he has but to touch the
cable, and anything from shoe string to car
load of leather will be conveyed to the upper
stories on a perfection" elevator that neither

Charles M. McCluer an esteemed young bust
ness man. and prominent in the social circles of
Saltwater. also officer in the National guards,
took his own life last Wednesday. No cause
can be assigned for the act other than temporary
insanity, as he was most exemplary young man
and very successful in business. The suppositlon
is strong, that an accident he met with short
time ago, in being thrown from horse he was
riding, striking on his head, and from which he
had never fully recovered was the cause of I'M
balancing his mind. And this theory is strength
ened by the fact that for three or four days
prior to his death he had been laid up with
severe pains in the head.

Never shoot at a dead animal.
Be sure and hit something, if only barn, when
shooting at an elephant.
Be sure it is wild animal you shoot at, and
not peaceful barn-yard fowl, or tame ferret.
Be sure you hit the object shot at in the head,
if only bumble-bee, or you will not be per-
United to wear its tail as trophy. These are
but few of the general rules to be rgidy en-
forced upon all members; and THE MIRROR
would advise all successful applicants for MEN,

grapnell, attach fuse 100 feet long, touch it off
and run. and you will be sure of hitting SOME
THING in the HEAD. You will find an album
dance of tails scattered around, anywhere within
a mile.

The chiIdren.s Picnic.

Mrs. VIM. Campbell, in charge of
eleven children, most of them very
young, spent delightful evening on
Tuesday last at Rafting Spring.
The children were only allowed to go
after earnest solicitation on the part
of Mrs. Campbell and the assurance
that the best care in the world would
be taken of them, and each one would
be given at least one new Rattle
also photograph be taken as SOU
venir of this special outing, but they
come high. The only accident was
the sickness of one of the children
on their return, caused by the rolling
and lurching of the coach over the
trough" pike. The cold tea was
very warm. The ribbons were
handled by the veteran AID Allen,
who drove the coach and four in the
most approved style. One special
feature was q genuine surprise, max
ing the right lead horse change sides,
by passing in front of the left lead
and coming in between the wheel
horses, where he gazed contentedly
into the faces of the tswee tots
His acrobatic act was another
feature, turning a double somer-
saultfrom the drivers seat and alight-
ing again in the same position; this
would have caused a professional
acrobat to have hung his head in
shame. The young misses were es-
pecially delighted with it and many
exclaimed-'tHow GRACEFUL" The
evening was spent in eating a most
elegantly prepared LUNCH. boating
and star-gazing. One of the couples
succeeded in anchoring their boat by
sitting side by side in the stern, and
the Current failed to move them,
despite the most persistant effort. If
patented others might derive much
benefit from it. The entire party
voted the outing a complete success
and spent the next day in sleep.
The children in charge of Mrs. Camp
bell were Misses Magma and Aaris

ridge and Sue CoIston. Messrs. A.
