A most lamentable tragedy occurred
at Glover Greek School House, near
Williamsburg, last Friday, in which lit.
tie Thomas Wilcox, a lad of nine years,
lost his life. The boy, it appears was
playing by himself in the barn, when his
brother, Harry, aged, IA, came out in
the yard with revolver in his hand
which he had found in an old disused
bureau whichhe had been rummaging.
With the revolver was also box of
artridges, with which he loaded the weap.
on and went out to shoot at mark.
He found the bottom of an old tin can,
which he nailed against the barn as a
target, and standing few PAGES of, he
fired, and with the most terrible results,
the shot being followed by q sharp cry
of pain, which nearly turned young
Harry's heart to stone, for he knew that
the cry could proceed from no other than
his little brother Tom, and that it must
have been occasioned BY the bullet from
his gun striking the lad somewhere.
He entered the barn with hasty but
trembling footsteps, and there saw the
well.loved form of his brother, lying
bleeding smong the straw and litter of
the stable floor. Without the heart or
courage to investigate further, he quickly
gave the alarm, and when the little fel.
low was raised from the ground by his
horrifed parents, it was found that the
ball from the revolver had entered the
boys right eye, causing instant death.
Young Harry is ne1rly frantic with grief
and remorse. and is suffering intensely
from the terrible shock. The accicent
created the greatest excitement and dis
may throughout the quiet country side,
and the deepest sympathy is expressed
ter the heart broken brother and parents.

THE HAT TRICK.
A. It II Performed by Jokers D
the Board of Trade.

A. It II Performed by Jokers On
the Board Of Trade.
A large, good-looking and evidently
good-natured man walked into the ex.
change room in the board Of trade build
ing the other day and was soon an in
terested, not to say anxious, spectator
of what is known on change as '*he
hat trick"
The large man wore a glossy new
derby hat.
A member of the exchange walked up
to him, neatly lifted the hat OFF his head
and in a moment the newcomer saw
what he supposed was his hat flying
across the room.
It had been propelled by kick. Sew
eral others made a rush at it and it was
sent hither and thither like football.
The man looked on in amazement.
Presently the hat came his way and he
seized it. He gave the now dilapidated
headgear brush or two with his elbow,
looked it over obviously, and then put
1t on and started hurriedly for the exit
Before he could make his escape the
hat was again seized and again became
the center of rush. lHs
Once more the man got the hat,
clapped it on his head and was rushing
away when he was intercepted by the
man who had originally taken 1t from
the visitors head.
With great politeness the joker hand
ed over the visitors own hat, as glossy
and perfect as If It had just come from
the hatter's block, and took ths old hat
in return.
The visitors surprise increased. he
scrutinized the new hat. It was certain
ly his. Then he Joined in the general
laugh. He had simply been initiated
into the mysteries of the board Of trade
hat trick, the first point of which is a
bit of sleight of hand work by which
hats are changed and the stock hat
kept for the purpose, is kicked into the
ring of jokers.-Buffalo Commercial.

Don't be ignorant concerning the

The one day of the year for the U.
B. Sunday school and congregation
was July "a. The day was perfect
for an outing. Quite early in the
morning preparations were made to
take the early train over the c. v.
railroad. Five coaches were placed
at the disposal of the party and Mr.
Emanuel Hess offered his team to
haul the eatables to the station, which
offer was gladly accepted, and two
loads of provisions were taken to
satisfy the appetites of the most fas-
tidious. Two hundred and fifty per
sons in all composed the company,
and a more happy and more fine-look-
ing company would be difficult to
find. We arrived at Mt. Alto 1880 a.
M. After depositing our baskets in a
place of safety a short service was held
in the auditorium consisting of songs,
PRAYERS and short addresses, after
which dinner was served toall present.
Surely no one came away hungry, for
there was plenty to spare. The after
noon was taken up in visiting the
places of interest, principally coax
Knob" and Pearl of the Park. +"
Singing, playing baseball, ETC., were
INDUCED in. Supper was served on
the ground at $50. Promptly at 6
O'Clock the special train left the park
for the homeward journey, which was
enlivened by inspiring singing in all
the coaches. We venture that there
is not a more inviting place within
100 miles of Martinsburg to have a
picnic, and no railroad offers better
accommodation than the Cumberland
Valley. We arrived in Martinsburg
at s o clock, all happy and we'll pleased
and withal profted by the trip. Such
occasions will certainly etc better
acquaint us with each other and draw
us nearer to the church and to Christ!
The universal verdict was good and
pleasant day. The day will have
many pleasant memories, and we will
now set ourselves more earnestly to
work for the cause of Christ.

After meals you should have simply
a feeling of comfort and satisfaction.
You should not feel any special indi-
cations that digestion is going on. If
you do, you have indigestion, which
means not-digestion, This may be
the beginning of SO many dangerous
diseases, that it is best to take it in
hand at once and treat it with Shaker
Digestive Cordial. For you know
that indigestion makes poison, which
causes pain and sickness. And that
Shaker Digestive Cordial helps di-
gestion and cures indigestion. Shak-
er Digestive Cordial does this by pro-
viding the digestive materials in
which the sick stomach is wanting.
1t also tones up and strengthens the
digestive organs and makes them per-
fectly healthy. This is the rationale
of its method of cure, as the doctors
would say. Sold by druggists, price
10 cents to 81. 90 per bottle.

Elephants when kindly treated be-
come very much attached to their
keepers and will obey every command,
like good little children.
Sometimes the keepers are cruel
men. Instead Of managing the beasts
by kindness they beat and goad them.
One day an elephant in India was be-
ing TINS treated by its keeper, when
the animal suddenly seized the man
in its trunk and ran down to the river
which was near by. After giving the
man two or three good ducks in the
water the elephant put him quietly
down on the ground, as muck as to
say:
Now, behave better in future, sir,
or I'll duck you again.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen

more of protection against heat than

Many horses, especially flied grain,
eat it much too fast to get the most
good from it. A good way to compel
slow eating is to mix with the grain
few clean pebbles, that will oblige
the horse to gather his food slowly.
A still better way is to grind the
grain and mix the meal with three
times its bulk of cut hay, or twice its
bulk of straw.
