Richard Cole, the seven-year-old son

fault, for with the assistance Of his
mother, he was getting ready to go as

somebody or something else, interfered,
and all at once stopped Richard and
plans. The lad was bending over q
trunk, getting out pair Of shoes, when
bolt Of lightning struck the house,
entered the room and struck him In the
small of the back and ran downward.
Richard set up a yell, and his very
much frightened mother rushed In and
picked him up. The first thing the lad
did was to ask who it was shat shot

at tho place which was to have oc.

For Sewing on IA Button.

One day Paul tells his servant to sew
another button on his trousers. An hour
after she brings in the trousers, and with
an undecided, anxious air, as if fearing
the effect of her demand, says, ut is a
SOU"
Paul draws out sou in silence and
gives it to her Jeanette retires on tip
toe as far as the door, thinks better of it,
returns, takes up the trousers and shows
the button.
"Ah, that is a fine button! CA pause
did not find that in my box. (Another
and longer pause.) bought that at the
grocer's. 1t cost a sOu!'
She draws herself up anxiously. The
proprietor of the trousers, still without
speaking, gives a second sou.
1t is clear that she has struck upon a
mine of sous. Jeanette goes out and a
moment after reopens the door. She
has resolved on her course, and in n
shrill, piercing voice, with admirable
volubility, proceeds:
Il had no thread. | had to buy some
thread. used good deal of thread
good thread too. The button won't
come off. | sewed it on fast. The
thread cost SOU"
Paul pushes across the table the third
sou.
Two hours later Jeanette, who has
been bordering on the matter, reap
pears. She prepares breakfast with the
greatest possible care, lowers her voice,
walks noiselessly and is charming il
her little attentions. Then she says,
putting forth all sorts of obsequious
graces:
81 ought not to lose anything; you
would not want me to lose anything.
The cloth was harsh. | broke the point

THE ELECTION RETURNS

In IA Newspaper Office.


TE"ro is one night in every year in
every great newspaper office when work

of fever attends the excitement and
strain of the most intense work that
falls 10 the lot of any men, except sol.
diers IN war. That is election night.
That is the night when few men sit
down at o'clock before virgin sheets
of paper with the knowledge that be-
fore : O'Clock the next morning they
must cover those sheets with the cleo
ton returns of nation, digesting
mountains of figures and apprising the
public of the results in the most con-
densed forms, weeks in advance of the
official announcements, as sparks might
be counted while they fly from the
shapeless iron on blacksmith's anvil.
And these calculations must stand tho
test of comparison with those which the
rival newspapers, working without col
liberation, as eager competitors, will
publish at the same moment
The election figures come in driblets
and atoms and must be put together as
the Florentines make their mosaics.
Some of it, we shall see is plucked

Expert Dealers In Live stock DO Not

often Use Scales.
The dealers in live stock who buy and
sell the thousands of cattle, hogs and
sheep which arc daily handled ut tie
Bourbon stockyurds must be expert in
guessing the weight Of live animal at
glance In conversation with well
known stockman few days ago he oX-
planned why this is necessary:
1T would be impossible to weigh the
cattle in many cases because of the inn
mense labor involved and the length of
time it would take, while the market
price which is subject to constant tluC-
tuations, might easily vary from its
highest to its lowest limit while we
were weighing the animals III one of
our big scales. For instance, today,
which has been the biggest day of the
year thus far, there have been received at
the Bourbon yards over ?, 400 head of
cattle and about 5000 hogs. Suppose
we had to drive all of those upon the
scales to ascertain their weight? There
are dozens of old stock men who can in
spect herd of animals and form an es-
innate of their average weight which
will he readily accepted by purchasers as
the basis of trade.
I'm test case which was made some
time since man who has had life
long experience in buying and selling "a
herd of cattle, after inspecting herd
of 500 animals, guessed their average
weight within ne-third of pound of
the actual figure ascertained by weigh
ing the cattle individually. The feat
was accomplished by Mr.. Ben D. Offutt
of this county and is not SO extraordina-
ry as it appe.rs, because similar in
