SAVED BY A BUTTON.
A Bullet Struck the Bit of Metal and
Veered From Its Deadly Course.

A Bullet struck the Bit of Metal and
veered From Its Deadly Course.
A tiny metal vest button turned death
aside from Ferdinand Succo OF New
York one night recently
Succo, while in Salino's saloon near
his home, met Christian Picard, car
penter A dispute arose, and Succo
struck Picard, who pulled revolver,
pressed the muzzle to Succo's body and
fired. The wounded man fell to the
ground in agony.
An ambulance was summoned, and
an examination showed that the car
penter's bullet had struck the bottom
button of Succo's vest. The button had
been driven through the clothing to the
wearer's body. There the spent force of
the shot barely bruised the skin.
But for the button Succo would doubt
less have been fatally wounded. PICARD

although an increasingly large per cent
of them are not bought with any view
to actual use in the field, )" said mem
Der of gunmaking firm recently. in
the case of shotguns, large per cent

shooting, intended originally for the
purpose of giving hunters opportunity
for practice without going aiield, has
become most popular sport III itself
and has been adopted by hundreds who
never enjoyed the delicious thrill Oh

ing "a squirrel from the limb OF some
lofty tree.
"Thc demand for target rifles is also
constantly increasing The gross sales
of guns carrying % cartridges and III
tended for short range target practice is
in excess of those of larger caliber. SO
we have the seeming contradiction that
the less game there is to kill the greater
the popular demand for shooting,

finely made and with less regard to cost
than those for actual field use, 1t FOL

has graduated from the Clinton high

NJ Goettler. a halter at 1860 South
Broadway. st. Louis. tells a strange
story concerning the alleged appearance
of the astral body of the late Joseph b.
McCullagh. who was one of the most
prominent journalists of the country
According to Mr. Goettler, the shade OF
the departed recently visited the tenn
pie Of spirits in Towards hall and
made itself manifest to the faithful
The dead EDITORS spirit brought great

sound of a voice that is still, " have not
yet ceased to speak reverently of the
visitation.
AS the story goes, we'll known me-
dunn was giving test seance in public
at Towards hall. Suddenly the sum-
moner of spirits sank into a chair, his
limbs grew rigid, a CHASTITY paleness
overspread his features, deep trance
settled upon his being, as though he
were weighted down by superior,
almost supreme, intelligence. When the
medium opened his lips, they trembled
and his words came in jerks and starts
Suddenly he got up from the chair and
filled all the adjoining seats on the
platform with hymnbooks. Resumine
his chair, he requested those who hao
been unseated to sit down.
Taking a newspaper in his hand and
looking out on the audience, the medi
um, according to Mr. Goettler's recol
lection, thus spoke:

conc back to explain the mystery sur
rounding my death. The suppositiol
that l committed suicide is not true, no
is the theory that / accidentally Tel

sick and Oh the night of my death wa
delirious. In fit of mad frenzy, cause
by my long sickness, l threw mysel
from the window, not knowing what

which was placed upon the manner

because I was always spiritualist an
