The pride of q sportsman is to make
O good double at game. Take a ruled
grouse hunter, for instance. He puts
up two of the birds at once. They go
whirring off through tho brush and are
brought down one after the other. That
makes the hunter happy.
A Texas deer hunter riding along on
horseback once saw IL couple Of deer
leap from their beds and start off on u
jump. He dropped both, II with each
barrel. They were big bucks.
A hunter in Wisconsin saw three
bears fleeing away through the timber.
He killed two of them aud wounded the
third SO that he got it the next day.
A German hunting hares with a l6
gauge shotgun loaded with No. 8 shot
saw two deer running, II behind the
other. He killed them both at go yards.
Men OH the plains in the days when
antelopes were far mole plentiful than
now used to get within shot Of d bunch
and then, by shooting the leaders, man
age to get all the bunch. 1t was the
same with elk, while buffaloes were
killed by dozens. but such shots were
not pleasing to the men vino made them
in any other sense than that they
brought 80 much money. This was mar
ket hunting. New York Sun.

JUDITH.

Flower Of youth in the ancient frame,
Maid of the mettlesome lip and eye,
Lightly wearing the fateful name
And the rakish beaver of days gone byi
Pink Of fashion! Yet this is she
That once through midnight forest and fen
Guided the horsemen Of sold Santee' =.
And rode to the death with Marion's men.
Rare the picture that decks the wall;
Rare and dainty in life below
Ny century later belle of the ball,
Mocking the beauty Of long ago.
II now the MINOR should come to ride
Through such n darkness Us brooded then,
How would 1t please you to serve as guideP
And where, oh, where were Marion's menf
False tho logic that breeds the fear.
Buds will blossom, and pipes will play
30 1t was in that early year,
30 shall 1t be till the world is gray
But the petted darling. If need shall be,
As swift to the saddle will vault again.
And those that follow will rid as free
As ever Of old rode Marion's men.

Nicholas o sketch Of Joseph Francis, the
inventor Of the life boat. Mr.. Harwood
says:
He had been received one day by the
GEAR at dinner. The czar was fond Of
witnessing experiments with new in
ve~ntions, and Mr.. Francis was asked
ont into a room opening from a con-
servatory where m inventor with some
newfangled force pump was going to
give an exhibition. After they had seen
the pump the czar took hold Of the
nozzle Of the pipe and turned it in the
direction Of the ladies Of the court, who
we're in the conservatory. Winking to
Mr.. Francis. the car, in mischief, gave
them . slight sprinkiing. begging par

MARCH HAS ITS vIOLETS.
And There Is a Bright and Cheerful Side
to Everything.

And There Is q Bright and Cheerful Side
to Everything.
Edward ". Box, under the title of
"The Odor of Spring Violets, writes
most folcibly in The Ladies' Home
Journal on the theme that there is a
bright side to everythinS-even to
March, the most disagrceablc month of
the year, for it has its spring violets.
at is true he writes, that it is diff
cult sometimes to see the bright side Of
sorrow, sickness and death. And yet
there is distinctly n bright side. No sor-
row zones to us without a reason. We
never know our friends until sorrow or
illness comes to us. We never know
what loving kindness and thoughtful
ness mean until W e stand in need of
them, and our hearts seem to beat
against the walls of a cold, merciless
world. We learn something from every
grief and from each pain which comes
to us. We learn to distinguish between
friends, and what more priceless posses
sion is there III the whole range of
knowledge than this? What develops us
more than trouble? Virtues of heart,
which we never dreamed Of as existing
within us, reveal themselves when we
are sorely tried. That is why sorrow
and trials are given us-not to give
pain, but to develop us, to better equip
us for something unknown which lies i'll
the future, and which we could not
meet Oh understand unless we had first
gone through certain experiences.
I've are far too apt to regard actual
blessings as calamities, to look upon
the dark side Of things. Some sorrow
comes to us, and we rebel. 1t never &C.
ours to us that perhaps we need the ex-
p%erience which sorrow alone can give.
Illness comes, and we fret. But we can
not always be well. Ailments are very
often given to us to make our apprecia-
ton of good health the kcener. Geo has
an aim, a direct purpose, in everything
he does. His blessings come in different
forms. Nor are these forms always such
as we would choose. Lessons can be
more effectively taught i'll innumerable
cases through sorrow than through pleas
ure. We should never know what a
pure, beautiful color white is if we did
not have black to bring out the contrast.
We want only pleasure in our lives.
| When sorrow comes, we reEel and re-
fuse to recognize it for what it so often
is-a blessing in disguise. We cannot
always have it June. There must be
March. Yet March has its spring vio-
let's"

Through Uncommon Channels.
II think if all the cranks in this coun-
try We're corralled," remarked the clerk
in the treasury department, land put
under a shed somewhere it would re-
quire n bigger than all the buildings
at the Worlds fair"
would there really be anybody to do
the corralling?" inquired Il pessinistic
old party, who thinks there is none good
no, not one.
"As l vas saying" continued the
treasury clerk, sit would take the big
gest shed on earth, and still there is a
new kind. This time it is n man or wo-
man who has been sending in 10 cents
at a time as u contribution to the con-
science fund, with u name signed in
full, and there is no such name on the
treasury books and never has been. !
suppose it is merely some crank who
thinks he or she will get that name in
the papers and have that mach fame out
of it,"
"That's silly enough" Clipped in a
postoffice inspector, 'but I heard of the
oldest chap Oh my last trip down south.
You may lot know, Or, if you do, don't
there is a fine of SO for sending written
matter through the mails under any
rate except 2 cents an ounce. Very like
ly you have SEN enough stuff written
on papers, books and so on to bankrupt
you if you had the fines to pay, but IN
Gle Sam is easy, and l don't know of a
case where anybody ever had to pay the
fine. In this instance u man came into
a certain office down south and gave the
postmaster $500, being the amount of
fines he owed the government for viola
ton of postage laws as far as he could
recall them. He was a young man, and
he stated that he had violated the law
while in love with a girl to whom he
sent papers and books occasionally, and,
though he wrote to her every day, he
couldn't let the others go without writ
ing something on them. The postmaster
didn't know how to act in the premises,
and just what he would have done final
ly nobody knows, but the next day the
young mans father came to the post
master and told him that his son had
been Tilted by his sweetheart, and it had
crazed him. This was an explanation
which satisfied the official, and the mon
ey was returned"
"Ugh!" grunted the pessimistic old
party, in no wise affected by the pathos
of the little story. "Only a crazy person
or an idiot would ever think OF settling
square with Uncle Sam for a little bun
ko game like that. "-Washington Star.

A Perverse Generation.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
The father of family nudged the old
bachelor who stood beside him On the car
platform. The old bachelor knew what it
meant. The father of a family was about
to revert to the dreary old subject-his
children.
Il wonder" he said, why the boys of
the present generation are SO much more
perverse than the boys were when 1 was
young? If L remember rightly, 1 usually
did what my parents wanted me to do.
What are you smiling about? What makes
you think l didn't? You didn't say so?
OF course, you didn't say so, but your
smile did. Well. boys are very different
now. aren't they? Yes; they are. OF
course they are. What do you know about
it? That's all right. You needn't shake
your head. There's nothing in it. Well,
my youngest boy wouldn't respond to the
breakfast bell few mornings ago / went
upstairs and told him to get up Immediate
ly He's ten years old, and he defied me.
He said he wouldn't get up; it was Satur-
