against an elevated post. 1t was picked up
by a citizen, who declared he would keep 1t
as souvenir. Another bullet grazed the
shoulder of J. H. EckhoH of 14ol Broadway,
who was sending a fire alarm in front of
the candy store 1911 Broadway. The ball
pierced the plate glass show window of the
candy store. and fell at the feet of the
pretty daughter of the proprietor she
was greatly excited.
Two other shots penetrated the show win
dow of the candy store. One ball passed
very close to the young lady's face She
laughs at her close shave and says she is
sure she felt the impact OF the air as the
ball passed her.
Col. Appleton, who is in command of the
detachment of the seventh regiment at this
point, early this morning said regarding
the shooting that Mitchell had said to him
that he understood perfectly well the or
ders that had been issued, but he had been
going in and out of the lines SO often that
he had grown careless. and thought the
order to halt that had been given was not
intended for him. Mitchell laid no blame
whatever on the soldiers, and said they had

HOW STEVENSON BEGAN.
He Tried to Express the Thoughts Of
Great Writers.

From the Globe democrat
Stevenson really began to write while he
was yet a bcy-in q clandestine way. and
principally for his own pleasure-and he
tells the story Of those crude and funlb-
ling efforts with rare candor and delicious
humcr. He always kept two books In his
pocket, he says. one to read and one to
write in, and it was his habit to sit by the
roadside, and note down the features Of
the scene or evolve some halting stanzas.
Thus he lived with words" as he ex-
presses it,writing consciously, and in obedi-
ence to q vow that he had made to learn
to write That was a proficiency that
tempted me-" he observes, and practiced
to acquire IL, as men learn to whittle, in a
wager with myself" He also often ac-
companied his walks with dramatic dia-
logues, in which he played many parts.
and exercised himself in writing down con-
versations from memory. This was good
literary training in the respect of teaching
him the subordinate elements Of the art to
which he was attracted, and doubtless his
subsequent superior Skill in verbal diStinc-
ton and selection was largely gained
through those patient and persistent ef-
forts. He became acquainted in that way
with the value OF words, and their rela-
lions to one another in point of rhythm
and symmetry, as every man has to do be-
fore he can become a great writer no mat
ter how gifted he may be by nature.
There was prOlt also, IN the plan that
Stevenson adopted of trying to copy quail

books that he read. He thus played the

ally read out of the party. Mr.. Baker, with
his usual impetuosity. entered his protest
against the law and bolted into temporary
political eclipse in 1880. His sturdy repub-
Icansm could not stand more than one
dose Of that, however, and he left the bolt
ers. and the next year he was made the
rominee in his senatorial district on the
straight republican ticket and elected by a
big majority, in the strongest democratic
stronghold in the state. He Is now serving
out that term, which will expire this year.
Populists Dismayed.
The speedy and amicable settlement of
the senatorial question has dismayed the
populists, who have been making their
boasts that the republicans would never be
able to reach choice in caucus. and would
have to come into joint session and vote
openly. thus giving the populists a chance
to exercise the great power they would
hold in such an event. Realizing the dam
ger. in such proceeding was what brought
about the combination on Mr.. Baker. The
populist senate steadily refuses to do its
duty according to the constitution and the
laws. and 50 far has only acted as a him
drance to proper legislation. 1t was bank
ing largely on its supposed strength as a
factor in the much-scrambled-for election
of a United States Senator, and does not
in the least relish the manner In which its
wind was knocked out of it, 1t was even
whispered that the pOpulist members OF
the two houses would place in nomination
the statesman whom they displaced three
years ago! But they failed to get Mr.
Ingalls, up, and his name was powerless tC
conjure with.

Cast a Line for Yourself

A young man stood listlessly
watching some anglers on a bridge.
He was poor an0 detected. At
last, approaching j basket filled
with wholesome-looking fish, he
sighed: "If, now, 1 had these ]
would be happy.fI could sell
them at a fair priev and buy me
food and lodgings.
Il will give you as many, and
just as good fish, said the owner,
who had chanced to oyerhear his
words, '.ifyou will do me a trifling
favor"
"And what isihat?a asked the
other.
"only to tend this line till |
come back. | wish to 60 on a
short errand."
The proposal was gladly ac-
copied. The old man was gone so
long that the young man began
70 be impatient. Meanwhile the
hungry fish snapped greedily at
the baited hook, aud the young
man lost all his depression in the
excitement of pulling then in;
and when the owner of the line
returned he had caught a large
number. Counting out from them
as many as were in the basket,
and presenting them to the young
man, the old fisherman said: al
fulfill my promise from the fish
You have caught, to teach you,
whenever You see others earning
what you need, waste no time III
