Making Him Happy.

Uncle Ike, as they called him in
Montezuma, has always been a queer
character. Years ago, as the story goes,
he lived up in the edge Of Taylor co1n-
t., and every Saturday would come To
town to get drunk and have a rousing
time with the boys. The old man final
ly decided to emigrate to Texas, where
he remained several years and then re-
turned to his old place.
The old man looked sad and detected
when he was told that since his depar-
ture Montezuma had become civilized
enough 10 have sidewalks and the tele-
graph. He could not believe il till he
went TO town and saw it with his own
eyes, and when he realized the truth,
the old man wept like child.
He hunted up the mayor and told him
he was go years old and had no hope of
living through the winter. He had come
to town expecting to get drunk, ride his
old mule through saloons and do consid-
cradle shooting and yelling, and it sad
dened the mayors heart 10 be obliged
to tell him that any such conduct would
down his aged cheeks as he asked official
permission TO ride through just one sa-
loon and shoot six holes in the mirror
behind the bar. When the mayor had
to refuse it, he begged to be allowed to
gallop up and down the street and shoot
at glass insulators ON the telegraph
poles His honor couldn't sanction that
either, but after discussing the matter
he made a compromise with him. 1t
was agreed that he might stand ON the
public square and utter a dozen old
time boots and then 60 and get drunk,
but there was to be no riding or shoot
ing.
Old Ike selected O'Clock in the even
ing as his hour, and the city marshal
was on hand TO count his boots. The
first three brought everybody into the
street, and the next three started half
the population out of town. The last
one was a grand wind up which Jared
the shingles ON the roofs, and when he
got through the old man felt himself
ten years younger. An hour later he
was blind drunk, and by the mayors
direction he was laid away on bed of
sbavings in a carpenter shop.
The mayor didn't deny that it was
against the ordinance, and he certainly
had no legal authority TO permit it, but
he wanted TO make old Ike happy once
more, and he was willing to take the
responsibility.-Atlanta Constitution.

Deer Hunters Quite as Good StOry-TeIers
as Anglers.
Next to a fish story, or probably a
snake story. the deer hunters can be
depended upon to get up and circulate
the most exaggerated stories of their
achievements upon returning from a
hunting trip. This is again forciblJ
illustrated in the appended special"
which was sent TO the Ledger by cor
respondent in the interior of Pennsyl.
yania, and who was serious in all he
said: THE deer-hunting season, which
closed to-day, has been marked with
greater success to the sportslnen of this
part of the state than any season for a
number of years. To the writer's GER
tain knowledge there have been well
on to two score of these creatures
brought to earth. and one improvement
over past years is noticed in the face
that not one Of this number was
killed purposely for market. as has been
done to such an extent in past years.
Among the number killed were some
very large ones, notably one killed by
Harvey Mann, which weighed 255
pounds; another by Robert Gunsallus,
weighing 225 pounds, while a dozen or
SO tipped the scales at from rs to 200.
Naturally, the season could not pass
without a number of tales that sound
like old hunting stories, but the fol-
lowing is all true, and so the more in
teresting therefor.
Bat one of the most remarkable
deer-hunting stories, and which is
vouched for as true, is told as happen
ing to Joseph Mann. of Bald Eagle vail
ley. Mr.. Mann and a friend were on:
on the hunt for wild turkeys. and in
going down a decline Mr.. Mann saw a
deer get up behind log and stretch it.
self. He fired, and when the smoke
cleared away. there stood the deer.
Having a double-barreled gun he pulled
up and fired again; as before when the
smoke cleared away there stood the
deer. BY this time his friend was
near. and asked him what he was
shooting at. He beckoned him 70
approach, and, pointing at the
animal. told him that he had
shot twice and the deer never moved.
and that he should try his luck The
second man shot and the deer dropped

10 my childish mind that literature was
a cinch. Of course l do not use slang
now nor even think slang, but that was
the way the matter struck me in my
callow days. But the practical poet Of
today is careful to write in such way
as TO fill out columns that need one or
two stanzas only Milton today would
be unpopular, and if he sent Paradise
Lost" to one of our old season cracked
editors be would send the poem down
the dumb waiter TO the room of pale
girlish youth, with orders to boil it down
to Is lines to Justify" with the Holmes
murder.
But since my real estate deal in the
comet line have been reading up more
in regard to these cratic bodies. l am
surprised to find that they are irregular
in their habits and move in parabola,
like presidential candidate.
had made some calculations covering
both sides of the barn and was sure that
was coming at the date of my comets
return when l ran across this caution:
''It has been remarked that when an
ephemeris of geocentric positions Fright
ascension and declination) for any length
of time is required it is convenient TO
calculate with rectangular equatorial CO.
ordinates instead of by the process we
have followed in comparing the orbit
with the middle observation. "
So then 1 had to buy new barn and
begin all oves again.
At one time l had the whole back
yard full of logarithms, and a person
going out after coal in the cleaning
would fall over and skin his nose ON an
equation almost invariably.
After I bad worked my multiplier till
I had to build on lean to for my null
tiplicand l ran upon this little para
graph of instructions:
''We may now refer to the calculation
of ephemerides of the geocentric places
of comet from the parabolic elements
which are required during its visibility
to facilitate observations. "
Now, what sort of reading matter is
that to place before family?
The general respect and esteem shown
by comets toward the sun have endeared
them to the thinking mind 1 have read
of every comet since the savant was en-
abled first to ramble through the sky,
and no comet has ever been known to
turn its tail toward the sun during that
time. Comets for many years were re-
garded with disfavor and were unpopu-
lar among the masses, the general opin-
ion being that they preceded pestilence
and congressional legislation. In the
fifteenth century to the cave Maria"
was added Lord, save US from the
devil, the Turk and the comet -
The chemical construction Of comets
has for many years occupied the atten-
ton of our greatest scholars and atmos-
pheric explorers. Generally they are
thought to contain nothing but carbon
ferrous gases and scenery. As one may
comfortably observe the stars through
the tail of comet. says the astronomer,
we are led to believe that the whole
substance of the comet is merely neb-
ulous gas illuminated by other bodies,
such as the sun or moon.
II had known that in April, it would
have been worth something to me, but
am too apt to purchase things and then
read about them afterward.

general satisfaction. 1t was here in 1858
