PittstOn, oct. 10.-George. the r.
ycar-old son of Rev. w. r. Macarthur,
shot and killed his 9-year-old brother,
Paul, yesterday afternoon at the resi-

Wyoming Camp ground.
The boys were returning from a
chestnuttng party and stopped in the
Ferguson house for a drink. George

pointed it at his brother and said. "Tll
shoot you" lie pulled the trigger and
Paul fell dead.
George was wild with grief and has
been hysterical ever since. The shoot
ing was purely a boyish trick and
meant in all innocence.

DON'T ADMIT YOU ARE OLD.
A Travelling Mans Secret About One OF the
Secrets of Old Age.


A New York travelling man, after due
elaboration, has come TO the conclusion
that 1t is unwise for old people to tell how
old they arc and thereby gain fame IL
they want 70 live much longer He cites
a number of cases where centenarians, nom
ogenarans and even octogenarians, had
been hunted up by people who bad fad
for that particular thing and soon after
ward died because of the effect of notoriety
upon their quiet lives.
The latest theory advanced in behalf OF
old age Is therefore, Don't think yourself
old nor allow anybody else TO think that
you are old, and you'll live a good many
years longer.
This particular New Yorker went about
the country good deal seeking for CEN
tenarians and persons whose years were
approaching the century mark.
"My contact with them was so fire.
quent, said he, THAT IL was surprising.
Many of the people who had reached the
age Of 100 or over were sound of mind, and
some persons at 80 were quite youthful.
George La Barre, in Monroe County, Pa,
who had passed his one hundred and sixth
birthday, l found with pipe In his
mouth, flask of whisky in his pocket,
chopping cordwood for all he was worth.
He had lived among the mountains all his
life. His memory was fresh, and he could
talk of things that had happened a century
ago. He had chewed and smoked tobacco
for 90 years and drunk whisky for more
than 90
"Then there was Cook St. John of Wal
ton, Delaware County, n. Y. He was 100
years old and remembered his mother
carrying him in her arms when the British
captured Norwich, Conn, during the Rev
dictionary war and flying with him to-
the woods to escape. He remembered when
Greenwich street was the water front of
North river, and he worked on the wharfs
along that street when he was boy. In
Orange county | found a man who was
III years old. He was colored man, who
had been slave from the day of his birth
until no was 70 years old.
"My investigation among old people"
continues this hunter after human relics
to reporter, has convinced me that 1t IS
not any trick at all TO become an octo-
genarian, and l never took any note of
people of that age unless there was some
thing very remarkable about them like
my old friend, Captain Moses Benner Of
Ceres, Pa, who, at the age Of SO, was the
father of two children that were younger
than his youngest create randchild, ana
his youngest great grandchild was only
years old At that age Captain Benner
was able TO put rifle ball, with his gun
held offhand and equipped with only tho
ordinary sights, into a copper cent three
times ont of five at 40 rods or such octo-
genarians rs the Bethany triplets--Mrs
Bushnell, Mrs. Lippencott and Mrs. Camp
bell--with only 20 minutes between the
ages of the oldest and the youngest, and
the three, at SO years of age, in the enjoy
ment of the most vigorous and robust
health. "-Exchange
