A Tough Wolf.

I was thinking the forest held nc
wolves when an enormous one came
''louping" along i'll an open space
straight to my neigbbor. stationed &c
yards to my left. When we'll within
sho,. he fired both barrels. ''Well tina,
fellow IL a duffer." thought 1, as the
brute. unframed. merely changed his
course and came along parallel with me
at 80 yards distance. When he was
abreast of me. l fired, but, alas for my
conceit. lie die not even swerve a foot,
but continued OH, yet l am sure nearly
every pellet of both barrels struck him.
He was finally killed, but not till he
had received the charges of O dozen
guns.
The amount of shot which wolves
will carry away is wonderful. A tough
old wolf will sometimes receive the fire
of the whole line Of sportsmen and es.
cape. yet a single lucky shot may bring
n down at GO yards. l should explain
that wolves in these drives prefer tc
trust to the chance Of bad shots and
their own thick skins rather than to the
hounds and beaters' sticks, for when
fired at they do not double back, but in.
variably make for the sides of the wood,
thus receiving the fire of the line. When
the beaters came up to us. we had an.
other long, cold wait, while they wen,
round and entered the wood at the net.

in wolves. -Blackwood's Magazine.

In the fourteenth century windows
were apertures filled with glass SO as to

A coming theatrical event Of much
more than ordinary interest 10 the
engagement of Otis Skinner and his
company at the Burtis opera house
Monday evening, Oct. 5. The name
OF Otis Skinner is at the present time
almost as we'll known among the
lovers OF the drama as the name of
the president Of the United States
among politicians. He is an actor OF
great force aud intensity. and has
become q very great iavorite with
the theatre going pubic. for his
work is most artistic and he can al
ways be relied upon to give an even
performance. free from any OF the
stage trickery go often seen even in
the work OF some of our best actors
aud actresses. for he always reaches
the c~ulmiDations Of his great scenes
and his climaxes by purely legiti-
mate methods. Not the methods Of
the so called Legitimate drama. but
methods Of his own. which he has
thought out for himself. His sup.
porting company ISIS very large ons
and among its numbers are some OF
the best known people in the theatre
cal profession. Otis Skinner will
present two of the best known OF
Shakespeare's plays-"The Merchan,
OF Voice" and Katharine and Pc.

would send a rousing delegation to
the national convention for him.
South Pittshurg Republican.
We showed the above clipping to
Major Coffman and asked him
what he thought of the matter, his
reply was, that no man in Tennes-
see had greater admiration for
Mr.. Evans than he had. But that
he thought this blooming" business
for Vice President was all out Of
place, and that Mr.. Evans was the
logical candidate for Governor and
should be nominated whether he
wanted it or not.--Roane County
Republican.
1t seems to us the above indicates
a decided and sudden change of
heart on the part of the Major.
Not long ago he was whooping it
up for Mr.. Evans for vice-president
an in an alleged interview while
still in Illinois the Major declared
that Tennessee would be solid on
this matter. Now the dear Ma
jor comes home starts paper, con-
fers with the Houks, Arch Hughs
and men of that caliber and behold
he says this blooming business
for vice president is all out OF
place." Why this complete flop in
so short a time? Well, dear read
er, the Major hasn't been ip politics
these many years for nothing and
if he knows himself he will not be
in them for nothing in the years to
come, so he has another scheme, in
conjunction with Others, and he is
in Washington right now trying to
fix it up. Arch Hughs was in
Washington, also, last week.
You ask what is this little
scheme? Well, it is well known
fact that at least nine-tenths of the
republicans in Tennessee would be
in favor OF having our delegates in
