DNt1 EpQh Proved he Was Not FOol-Ei-
Speciality.
One Of the speakers at a banquet
given here recently dweit at some
length upon mans natural aptitude
TO the vocation In life he pursued, and
attributed as q result Of so many fail
ures the fact that a majority of man
kind were following vocations not in
bent with their natural inclinations.
He told an interesting story iliustIRt-
ing his meaning from one of mis- school
boy recollections, as follows:
"At my first school there was a boy
to whom the teacher could not succeed
in imparting the simplest rules Of
elementary knowledge. Try as she
might, her efforts were failures. Her
patience, after exhaustless trials,
turned to despair. One day, when he
seemed duileF than usual, she sent him
from the recitation bench to his seat
with a severe reprimand, promising to
recommend his dismissal to tho
trustees.
shortly efterward she observed him
bending over some pursuit at his desk,
His eyes were lighted with an express
sion that inspiration. Anxious
TO know the cause of this almost mirae-
ulous Transformation from sloth that
was sluggish to activity that was life.
she passed down the aisle by his desk
on some pretext that would not disturb
him, and found the cause of his glow
ing study to be the examination of a
fly, which he had caught and was ex-
aiming, having dissected it into
parts. The truth dawned upon the
teacher, The boys mind ran to en-
tOmology. He was born naturalist.
"The teacher said nothing, but that
afternoon called up the entire class for
general recitation. The Buys appear
ance was as dull ever. Boys, said the
teacher addressing the entire school,
I want to see how far your general
powers Of observation on trivial sub
jects 60. For instance, you have all
seen thousands of flies. Now, I want
each one of you to tell me his impress
sion Of fly Beyond the fact that a
fly is fly and had two wings not oneof
the school could say anything further.
At the first mention of the subject the
dull boy was all aglow. He held up
his hand and snapped his fingers. He
realized his superiority. 1t was his
day. He told Of the fly from a general
and analytical standpoint, its interior
and exterior construction, its habits,
its food, its generation and its propen-
sites. The rest of the school sat as
tonished The boy went on and
launched into a general description of
bugs and insects he had caught in the
woods.
From that day the teacher encour-
aged his peculiar aptitude and trou-
bled him no more with the rules of
grammar and arithmetic. She went
into the woods with him and helped in
his studies Of nature. She brought the
attention of the school trustees to his
case and, to make d long story short,
he was sent to Europe for study. In
Leipsic he was made moderator of the
National Conservatory of Science. He
held for time an important position
in the Smithsonian at Washington,
and ne is now in Paris,on of the lead
ing entOmologists ofthe world"-

the fathers threats being repeated, the
girl in her predicament, grabbed 8
loaded gun and fred at him. The ball

Two Young Texans Fight to the Death,
Every Bullet Taking Effect.
SWEET HOLE, Tex, May 31.-The
neighborhood was assembled at Salem
church, eight miles from here, Sunday,
in observance of Decoration day. Two
young men, viii Lewis and Wit Bos-
worth, were among the number. Bad
blood existed between them, too much
talk being the cause. They walked
away from the crowd together, and
stopped after going some distance, ap-
pearing to talk the matter over very
calmly. One turned as if to
cave, when the other drew a
revolver. The other wheeled, and
both fred about the same instant
and continued until their revolvers
were empty. Both were dead when
their friends got to them. Every bull
let fired by each man took effect in his
opponent.

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
4 Train Dashes into q Wagon Loaded with
Children.

Children
DENVER, Col, June AT eight
o'clock last evening a spring wagon
driven by Henry Marsau. a carpenter,
and containing eight children, ranging
in age from three to nine years, was
struck by a special train on the Den
yer & Rio Grande railroad, and as a
result four of the children are dead
and the others are terribly IN
jured, two so badly that they
will die. Marsau, with his three chill
dren, had been spending the day at
the home of Christopher Schoneweiss,
in tine southern portion of the city.
When ready to start for home he took
load of children, gathered up in the
neighborhood, for short ride. 1t is
claimed by the police that Marsau was
intoxicated and paid no attention to
the signals of the engineer, but drove
upon the track while the train was in
plain sight and but a few feet away.
The engine struck the wagon, demol-
ishing it and crushing and mangling
the children in a horrible manner.
