In the present Wesleyan Memorial

children crowd for Sunday instruction.
The original school was less in number,

70 scholars, but from all accounts there
were few if any Indian boys in his ear

Charles Reed, M. p, LII. D., of Eng

wild Bill was nervy man and did
some killing in his day, and he might
have lived longer If he had not grown
careless. You see, Bill. like all men of
his class. was always expecting trouble
and was always on guard. Bill for years
had never allowed himself to get into

revolver were not master Of. the situa-

first time was present, and the next
time-well, Bill was was gone himself
when the second time came to climax.
Il will tell you the story Of the time

to pull his gun to kill unless il was in
self defense or there was no other way
to secure the peace and quiet Bill al
ways hankered for and would have
peaceably if he could, forcibly if he
must. Jim Curry was coward, but he
was determined to acquire q reputation
as bad man, and, as Bill Hickok held
the championship Of the world at that
time as killer, Curry thought he
might safely run bluff on Wild Bill.
$50 he sent Bill word he would kill
him on sight, not that he had anything
against Bill, but Curry had gone into
the killing business, and he proposed to
hold the center Of the stage and show
that he was displaying energy and apt
itude in his business Bill paid no at
tention to Curry's talk, not considering
him in his class.
Zone day / met Curry on the street
in Hays. We went into saloon kept
by little, nervous, excitable German.
Wild Bills tall form and long, black
hair loomed up at table in the back
part Of the room. His back was toward
Curry and myself. Curry walked over
to the table, standing directly behind
Bill. Before any one suspected what he
would do he had his gun against Bills
head and said, Now, you long haired

A QUEER LITTLE ANIMAL.


Tho Australian DuskbiIl Carries . Sting
In Ono Leg.
Australia certainly holds the palm for
queer and uncouth animals, says The
Literary Digest. Chief among these is
the duckbill or ornithorhynchus, which
Sydney Smith described as "a kind of
mole with webbed feet and the bill Of q
duck, which agitated Sir Joseph Banks
and rendered him miserable from his
utter inability to decide whether it was
bird or beast. It was only recently
that it was proved beyond doubt that
this curious animal lays eggs like
bird, though this had long been reported
by travellers. Now comes the news that
it has sting ON its hind leg. capable of
killing by it's poisonous effects. We
quote from Tho Lancet:
"FOr long timait was considered to
be quite harmless and destitute Of any
weapon OF offense, although the hind
legs OF the males were armed with
powerful spur, apparently connected
with gland. Then the opinion was ad-
vanced that this might be a weapon al
lied to the poisonous armory of snakes,
scorpions and bees, all of which possess
a sort Of hypodermio poison syringe.
Though one set Of observers asserted
that this was the case, another set de-
MED it, and so DR.. Stuart determined to
solve this question. il possible. He re-
ceived two independent accounts which
coincided perfectly, and from them he
concludes that, at certain seasons at all
events, the secretion is virulently poi.
sonous. The mode of attack is not by
scratching, but by lateral inward move
ments OF the hind legs. Two cases are
reported in dogs. One dog was 'stung'
three times, the symptoms much rcsem.
bling those Of bee or hornet poison. The
dog was evidently in great pain and
drowsy, but there were no tremors, con-
WILSON'S or staggering. It is worthy Of
note that certain immunity seems, OBJ
tainable, for the dog suffered less ON the
second occasion and still less ON the
third. Two cases Of men being wounded
are reported, in both of which the ami.
mails were irritated, one by being shot
and handled, the other by being handled
only. The symptoms were the same as
III the dog. No deaths are reported In
human beings, but four in dogs"
