that we showed any extra
ordinary foresight, wisdom,
or courage when we decided
this season to add n Boys

pIexity the manufacturer

til WE KNEW the proper
time was ripe to buy, and
we pitched in and obtained
our stock at almost OUR

our Boys Clothing is so
EXCEPTIONALLY CHEAP.
The public know everything

tised" at our store. We
have never been accused of
violating this motto. So if

SHOOTING DEER GROM TREES.
Curious Sport Indulged In By The Apple
growers of Arkansas.

In tue apple-grOwing regions OF Ar
kansas the natives have way Of deer
shooting entirely original with them
lseyes. Deer love apples, and in the
vast orchards they go to feed. Not
only do the deer eat the apples, but
when the fruit is all gathered they
turn their attention to the bark OH
the young trees and the branches of
the elder ones. In the fall, when the
apples are plentiful, the native watch.
es for deer signs, and when he locates
the trees which the deer frequent he
goes to work gathering the fruit, al
ways leaving two or tree unpicked
that bear the favorite apple OF the
deer. After the fruit gathering Is
over he turns his attention to harvest
ing venison. The deer come to the
orchard to feed in the night, and when
daylight comes HE away in some Sc
cluded hollow and sleep. When the
moon is in the first quarter the native
takes his gun and goes out in the ear
ly evening to lie for the deer.
Generally two or three hunters scat
ter out about the apple trees that are
left full fruited to lure the deer to de-
struction. They climb into the
branches of the trees short distance
from the ones that bear the fruit, and
remain silent and mOtionless to await
the coming of the game. ShOtguns
are the weapons and buckshOt the am
munition used Usually the hunters
do not have long to wait before they
can hear the deer approaching. The
game comes cautiously and it is some
times an hour after the game has been
sighted or heard before he presents
himself at the apple tree where he
feeds. From a station in tree, says
a writer in the st. LOUIS Republic, l
watched one night for an hour and q
half and during all that time deer
were in sight, but not close enough to
shoot. At last splendid buck came
up on the opposite side of the trees
and began reaching up and picking
the apples. Presently doe put in an
appearance. sat there admiring the
pair, waiting for them to move around
} little to give me better shot, when
Bang" Bang !" in rapid succession
my companions gun sounded about
100 yards from where was stationed,
startling the beauties that had con-
sidered as good as dead, and as they
started off l tried to get my gun in
position to shoot as they ran, my foot
slipped, and down | went in heap on
the ground. My companion, however,
who had fired the shots was more sue
cessful. When l reached him he had
a buck and doe lying beside the ap-
pie tree, and was just in the act OF
cutting their thr0ats. He said there
was no use remaining, as the deer
would not come back again until near
morning, and maybe not that night.
l killed a doe the next night and the
native duplicated the performance of
the previous evening. His record for
the season was q deer, all killed in
the same orchard which covered an
area of about 100 acres.

No Rose Without a Thorn.

Editing a newspaper is a pleasant
busness-ifyou can stand it-says the
st. Augustine News. Ifsit contains
many advertisements subscribers COM
plain that they take up too much
space. l there is lack of advertising
it is unpopular and the people won't
have it. If weattend church regularly
they say we 60 for effect. If we stay
away from church they say we are
monstrously heathenish. If we ac-
cept an invitation to wedding they
say we are to ''write it up" If we 60
to theOpera house they say we go on
free tickets. If we are seen ON the
streets too often they say we neglect
our business. If We avoid going on
the street they say we don't hustle
around for the news. If we neglect a
long communication the author gets
furiously enragcd and discontinues
his paper. If we publish lengthy
communication our readers will say
that we lack discretion, and put in
anything to ''fll up.' five swell out
in a new suit Of clothes and celebrate
grounding day they say we got our
clothes in payment for advertising,
and that we are by far too fOppish.
If, in our fIailty, we sometimes per-
petrate joke or make a stagger ut a
poor little pun, they say we are ex-
ceedingly light and won't do. If VIC
omit the jokes they say We are poor,
miserable, fossils. II we are married
they say it is pity for our wife. II
we are not married they say we are too
homely to get a wife. Ii we publish
a man who has brought disgrace upon
his family, the friends of the family
never forget us. lf We, out OF good
ness Of heart, decline to say anything
on that subject, the mans enemies
are disappointed and We are branded
as a white-livered coward. We are
able to stand these raps, and many
more, and we are always ready to re-
ceive visitors, whether accompanied
with dog or not. OF courseswe do
not claim that there Is any work In
running a newspaper, everyone knows
it IS Il snap.

Her Hair Turned White.

st. Louis Republic.
Last week the attention of the peo-
pie passing down Market street was
attracted by the contrast between the
youthful face and snowy hair of a
faced lady, who for several days
was seen on that thoroughfare.
Judging by her face, she could not be
more than thirty years of age at most,
but if you formed your opinion of her
from the hair which crowned her with
Il thickly waving, sn0w-white mass Of
curls and coils, she might be at least
twice that number Of years. Her COM
plcXion was as fresh as that of a girl
in her teens No wrinkles marred the
fair surface of brow, cheek or neck,
and envious time had not touched in
his telltale lines at the corners Of her
eyes.
This contrast between face and hair
1T was which drew so many curious
eyes after her, and many and varied
were the suggested reasons for the
strange anomaly. 1t was as If a drift
of winter snow should lie cold and
chill above the crimson rose bloom of
June.
Illness, sudden fright, terrible s0r-
row, and half a dozen other causes
were suggested for the untimely
bleaching of the abundant tresses.
Terrible fear it was which had, not
in night, but within the short space
of one month, turned the once dark
locks to premature whiteness.
The lady was the wife of one of the
most popular captains that ever COM
manded ship out Of an eastern port.
Ten years ago he was captain of one
of the finest ships sailing out of Bos-
ton. He had been in the same employ
since boyhood. growing up under the
eye of the owner and builder of the
vessel, had passed from boy to man,
from forecastle into the cabin; had
been promoted from sailor to second
mate, then to first mate, and now
was, at the early age of twenty-five,
placed in command of the fine new
ship just of the ways. The Fox was
one of the best ships built in that IA
nous yard of McKay's in East Boston.
She was 1900 tons burthen, and it was
quite a feather in the cap Of the young
man that his employer should offer
her to him for her first voyage.
He had been for two years engaged
to young girl who had been his ear
liest companion, who had grown up
by his side until the time came when
he left home for the sea, his chosen
place Of life.work. On each return to
the little d0wn-east castle he had
found her dearer, and they had been
waiting for him to get command Of a
vessel, then they would marry. But
nothing like the wonderfulluck which
had come had they dared to hope for.
Now there was nothing to stand
between them. They could marry at
once and make their bridal trip to
England on the vessel, which they
fondly hoped might be their home for
long years to come. SO they had mar
ricd, and when the ship sailed n.ajes.
tlcally down past Boston light and
away, away across the wide stretch of
the stormy Atlantic, she carried with
in her staunch sides about the lluppi.

Softly flow, oh, softly flow,
Placid, broad, mysterious stream!
On thy bosom dies the beam
OF the sunsets ruddy glowl
While adown the shining river
In our bark we sail forever.
Silvcry queen, approach thine own =
Tread the star-entangled sky;
Countless heavenly blossoms die
As she mounts her yapory throne,
While adown the shining river
In our bark we sail forever.
Cast, 0 palid queen of night,
Chastened rays on yonder stream;
Clasp, 0 river, ev'ry beam
To thy bosom-clasp them tight
While adown the shining river
In our bark we sail forever.
Hark the moon kissed air is filled
With the rapture of note
Issuing from an unseen throat,
And our hearts are wonder-thrillcd,
While adown the shining river
In our bark we sail forever.
For the music haunted wave
Sendeth forth low, sweet tone,
Sad, mysterious and lone,
Weird as song in elfn cave;
AS adown the shining river
In our bark we sail forever.
Pilot, tarry here awhile!
We would longer list the sound
Which is murmuring all around,
So it doth our soul bcguile,
AS adown the shining river
In our bark we sail forever.
All, the music, mystic, sweet!
Let the world be all forgot,
Lingering in this tranquil spot:
World for us thou art complete,--
While adown the shining river
In our bark we sail forever.
Graded in the melody
OF this strange, enchanted stream,
We would rest and ever dream,
From all care and sorrow free;
While adown the shining river

A MOVING INCIDENT.
Which Was Also an Accident i'm q
StreetCcr.

StreetCar.
a handsome woman, elegantly dressed and
circlet of black silk surmouuted by a silver
buckle. assisted by rule that requires people
who ride on streetcars to pay cents for the
of the Suburban line yesterday afternoon. says
the 81. Louis Republic. The lady took seat
near the rear of the car. There were but few
passengers abroad, and they were seated near
the 'front.'
The conductor went to collect the lady's fare.
She reached for her pockeibook. She shook
out her handkerchief and looked on her lap and
OIL the seal beside her. Then a blush over
spread her face, and with embarI ssment she
asked the conductor TO return TO the platform,
saying that she would pay her fare In few
moments.
The conductor evidently had an inkllne of
soon as lie bad gone the woman's right shout
der was seen 10 suddenly stoop, as though she
was about 10 pick something from the floor.
Then her left hand went over TO assist her
right, and after few moments OF iumbling she
resumed an upright posture ana Il sigh OF relief
escaped her.
After proper time elapsed the conductor
again went forward, and she at once paid her
fare. taking be coin from n small purse and
slightly flushing as she murmured a few words
OF apology for having kept him waiting
She lett the car at Ninth street, and a few
seconds later the conductor, happening to pass
the seat She had just vacated, stopped, looked
down, and then reached for something he saw
on the floor. 1t was a neat black silk garter
