If Waa Never Told.

Six or eight of us had lighted our ci- gars in the smoking car when a man whom anybody would have sized mp as all eastern drummer began to cackle and chuckle and finally exclaimed:

 He picked up his grip and left the Car, and the drnmmer's smile faded away, and he pulled out q newspaper and began to read. Somehow we didn t like to ask for the story, and somehow he didn't seem to care about telling it. By and by went into the other car and found the old man and asked:
 "Were you really honest ill what you said about your heart?' "Well, nu," he replied. "What was your object?' "Simply to stop his yarn. I'm tray cling in the same line of goods for a l Chicago house, and I wanted to hurt his feelings as much as could.''

She Deals In Mines md Real Estate,

Mrs. H. c. Cosgrove of Joplin, Mo-, is said to be one of the most successful dealers in mines and real estate i'll the world, although she is a tiny woman with the quietest and most winning ways. Lately Mrs. Cosgrove has organ ized a mining company composed en- tirely of women It has a woman's name-the Helen Mar Mining and In vestment company" It is officered by women, and its stock is held by women, and one of the mines on its extensive and valuable possession is called, 'The New Woman." While this idea of a company solely composed of women is a novelty, the successful woman miner is an established fact i'll that region. One woman receives $500 per week in royal ties from her mines, and she superin- tends all prospecting herself.

HE WAS A BAD SHOT.
Eet Every Time He Fired the BuIlseye
 Gong Rang.

Yet Every Time He Fired the Bul1seye
 Gong Rang.
 A good story on the late General Dan McCauley of Indiana is related by Judge John N. Scott now of Port Townshend, Wash.
 On Judge Scott's last visit to Wash 1ngton he, with his old college chum, General Joe Fullerton, and General McCauley, went on trip up the river to one of the clubhouses.
 The two former gentlemen wanted to indulge in some target practice. General McCauley protested vigorously.
 Being pressed for his reason, he said the fact was he was such bad shot he had made up his mind to quit it last time he tried it. He had never hit the bullseye in his life, he con1ided to them, and he was a little ashamed of it.
 After somo little trouble they con- vinccd him that they were both worse shots than he, and they'd shoot for "place.
 First the judge shot and made a fair showing, and then General Fullerton, making a better, and last General Mo Caulcy, who lit the bullseye. No one Was i1ore astOniShed than tho general himself He began to be inter csted. They took another turn. Again he hit the bullseye, and yet again and again, and the ringing of the gong was music in his ear.
 The others declared they'd shoot no moro with him and threatened dire re- venge for his deception,
 In vain he assured them that it was the first time in his life he had hit the bullseye. He treated literally, and they | all enjoyed the jaunt, particularly the boy who tended the target, who was sev- l cral dollars wealthier for their visit | They came back to town, dined at Gen eral McCauley's expense, and he de- clared he had made the hit of his life.
 "Dan never suspected us, laughed the judge, "of having bribed that target boy to ring the gong every time he shot. And ho couldn't see the trick in it be- cause his bullets never even touched the target, not one !''-Washington Star.
