LEAVE THE FLAG ALONE.

FREDOSIA. Kan, Aug. 1l.-Yesterday,
before K. T. Wells. at Neodesha, the case
of the State VS.. Grant Bromfield. Mont
Hays, John Wilson and Frank Ringle,
charged with tearing down and destroying
a United States flag, came up for trial.
County Attorney Young appeared for the
state and Z. j. Fritch of Independence,
for the defendants, Hays and Ringle.
Bromfield entered plea of guilty and was
fined s25 and costs, aggregating about S45.
Hays stood trial. John Wilson was used
By the state as a witness, in consideration
of which he was Iii scharged. There being
no evidence against Ringie he was also
DISCHARGED.
After the trial the justice took the case
under Amusement, and in an hour found
Hays guilty, and assessed his fine at SO
and costs. i'll all S4720. Both Bromfield
and Hays promptly paid fines and costs
The two parties last named are bright, in
telligent looking young men, Bromtield,
especially, being fairly educated aud show
ing experience with men and business.
The trial failed to disclose any adequate
motives for tearing down the flag. They
had come 20 town, were bent on having
good time" aud prompted by "A spirit of
malicious mischief, became lswless, for
which at the trial they puid dearly.
About 100 persons from Wilson and
Montgomery counties were present, and
deep interest followed the trial from be-
ginning to end.

CATCHING BULLETS.

One of the Seemingly Dangerous Tricks
of Conjurers.
The adage that there is nothing new
under the sun has only been questioned
on the matter of tricks performed by
magicians, conjurers, prestidigitateurs
and others who deal in that which is a
mystery to the eye. The catching of
bullets by Prof. Hermann seemed to
climax series of mysteries for which
that clever dealer in the mystic art
was responsible. Speaking of the bull
let-catching trick in particular, Prof.
F. D. Hewes, who is also a dealer in the
art of mystic, says:
'There are literally but few tricks in
magic. The so-called new ones pre-
scented to the public from time to time
by our leading magicians, conjurers or
whatever they call themselves, are sim
ply the revival of some old expert
ments clothed in a new form. The
catching of bullets is not by any means
a new trick, for it is almost as old as
magic itself. | remember seeing the
old 'Fakir of Ava perform the same
trick, only in different manner, when
| was a small boy. The catching of
the bullet is very easily explained. In
the first place, to accomplish it the
conjurer must procure an old-style cap
lock, smooth-bore musket, some pow
der. caps and a leaden bullet. All these
must be perfectly free from any de-
ception. Now we come to the ramrod.
Therein lies the whole mystery of the
trick. 1t is constructed with a small
metallic tube, closed at one end, and
so arranged as to become detached
from the end of the ramrod at will.
Having explained the construction
of all the appliances, we will now pro-
coed to do the trick. The gun, bullet,
powder and caps we're freely given for
examination. The performer requests
some one to put the charge of powder
into the gun. Next he Inserts small
piece of paper, and rams it down, and
by twist of the ramrod to the left,
the small metal tube is dislodged from
the point and remains with the gun
barrel. Now the bullet is marked and
placed in the gun by one of the audi
ence; again the professor rams it down.
Now, by q contrary twist, the metal
tube becomes fast to the ramrod, SO
that in withdrawing it the bullet is re-
moved
''The performer now palms the
marked bullet, and all that remains to
do is to go through the motion of
it when the gun is discharged,
and the spectators are thoroughly mys-
titled. You see it is all very simple
when you know how. boston Post.

WOLF HUNTING in RUSSIA.
One Who Has Tried 1t Says 1t is the Most
Dangerous Sport.

| One Who Has Tried 1t Says 1t is the Most
Dangerous Sport.
Wolf hunting is probably the most
dangerous sport there is. With SER
want and a couple of fast horses at
tached to sleigh, have gone out and
baited the ground for the brutes on
numerous occasions A fat hog tied to
tree never failed to collect pack.
The trouble was that it drew too many.
The wolves would gather to the num-
Der of two hundred or three hundred
and devour the pig. Then we would
dash upon the scene and the fun
would commence. They are as fleet as
deer. To say that they are as feet
as wolves would be more like.it. They
can outrun the horses every time, and
if they are not picked off as fast as
they come up. you might as well give up
the fight and permit yourself to be de-
voured.
Imagine yourself making a running
fight with a band of three hundred
hungry, maddened wolfes and with the
knowledge that if one of the feet little
brutes reaches your horses you are
QedQ man, duu yOu Ouh POooAoig AhAns
inc what a nervy sport it is. Itrequires
a cool head and good eye. Ifyou miss
your mark, you're gone. Your only
chance of safety is in keeping your
horses up. 1t is generally long fight.
You look back and see the carcasses of
the animals dotting the snow for mile
or two in your wake, and still they
pursue you in great numbers. Slowly
the pack Trims out. Many have dropped
bleeding to the ground. Others stop
to devour the carcasses. The more that
fall the more timid the rest become.
When you finally outdistance the pack
YOU have been through the most trying
ordeal that the most ardent sportsman
could wish.
consider wolf hunting the most dan
gerous sport there is. Tiger hunting
in India is tame beside it. II you go
into the jungles of India to shoot a
tiger you are accompanied by a long
retinue. You shoot your prey from the
howdah of an elephant. IL you miss |
your victim there are twenty bullets
ready for him before he springs. A per
SON might as well go tiger hunting in
The only unsatisfactory !
part Of the sport which wolves afford
Is that after you are all through you
haven't anything to show for your
efforts. But it is great sport-San

BIOGRAPHICAL.

Oliver Wendell Holmes was born at
Cambridge, Mass, Aug. 20, 1S09 He
graduated ut Harvard college in 1929 and
began the study of law, which he soon
abandoned for that of medicine. After
taking his degree of M. ID. he spent some
time in the hospitals in Paris and other
Eurpean countries. He returned to BOs-
ton in 1896 and began practicing. In 1888
we was elected professor Of anatomy and
philosophy in Dartmouth college and in
1S4S was elected to similar professorship
in the medical school of Harvard univer-
sity, from which he retired in 1852. But
it is chiefly as writer that DR.. Holmes is
known, as early as 1881, his contributions
appearing in various periodicals, and his
reputation as poet was established by
the delivery of Il metrical essay entitled
"Poetry," which was followed by others
in rapid succession. In 1857 he began in
The Atlantic Monthly u series of articles
under the title of 1.-THE Autocrat Of the
Breakfast Table," which were followed in
1850 by the "Poet at the Breakfast Table" I"
and in 1885 by '"The Newport Folio" AS
a writer Of song, lyrics and poems for fes-
tive occasions, he has long occupied the
first place. The latter years of his life
have been spent in quiet retirement ut
Beverly Farms, broken occasionally by Il
lecture to the Harvard students.
