Miss Nan she took holt in her gentle
and long-sufferin way and went to work
on him.

"Well, that is the second letter, and

till they got down TO G.

Gordon as Boy Was Up to Many
Kinds of MischIef

| When Gen. Gordon was a lad at
school he was as mischieyous as most
boys; indeed, more so. The following
story is told of him by Dr. Bixby, who
was at one time at school with him.
When the boys had done anything
wrong they were shut in large, barely
furnished room and set to write lines
from Latin author
One of the most frequent visitors to
this room was the late general, and he
used frequently to be annoyed by the
boys who were free in coming to the door,
and peering at him through the key
hole, telling him what fine afternoon
it was, and inviting him to come out
and lick" them.
Though he could not oblge them in
the former, he resolved to do his best
for them in the latter particular. He
borrowed large garden syringe from
the gardener, and, taking it with him
the next time he was sent to write
lines, went round to the various desks
and sucked up the ink into the syringe.
Several other boys were in durance
vile with him, and they eagerly awaited
the approach of their tormentors.
BY and by they heard stealthy foot
steps coming down the passage. Near
er and nearer they came, and at last
halted outside the door They're peep
ing through the keyhole," whispered
the future general, and, placing the
syringe at the keyhole, he squirted the
contents through with all the energy
he could muster.
There was smothered exclamation
OF disgust, and then an appalling 81
lence. Then some one fumbled with
the handle of the door; it opened, and in
stalked the head master, his face black
with wrath, and his once immaculate
shirt front black with ink. - London

A smarter nor better man than
I Tip Wesley never lived anywheres in
this section of country. But weary
in the flesh and bowed down in spirits.
Tip Wesley packed his wallet the other
day and moved his washin off to dis
tant landslide good Lord only knows
for certain where. In the main time,
from all can pick up comm and goin,
it would seem as if Tip Wesley had went
to work and put in his claims to the
post Office down at Flat Rock lie was
born and bread and brung up as
dYed-in-the-wool republican He had
followed the old flag in every COM
paign and voted the republican ticket
every clatter as early and as often as
he could with safety and convenience,
whilst old man Wade Sampley-which
is now doin business through the post
office at Flat Rocks a moss-covered,
iron-bound, long-haired, screanin dem
ocrat.
The republicans round about Flat
Rock helt a meetin and put up Tip
Wesley as the right man for the place,
and then Joined hands and balanced
all together in the high hope of liftin
Wade Samply outen his boots, or words
10 that extent. They put up the re-
publican plank in great shape and Tip
was greasin the seat of his breeches, as
it were, to slide right down into soft
place in the post Office at Flat Rock.
But all this time old man Wade Samp-
ley he want gone nowheres so fur as
anybody knows. He put it out through |
the papers that Tip Wesley want no
fifteen man for the place, from the fact |
he didn't even know how old he was, |
or when his next birthday would come.
And by gracious the old man proved
up the report with the best men in the
for his witnesses. More
than that, he got Tip Wesley in a crowd
md made him own the corn. Bad news,
as anybody knows, will spread worse
han prairie fire before a March wind,
md in little or no time the fact went
forth to the country at large that Tip
Nesley-a white man and a republican
which had been put up for the post
1ffice at Flat Rock, didn't even so much
is know how old he was. What did
Zip do? What could he do but throw
lis hand to the pack and quit?
Now in regards to book learnin and
native born sense Tip Wesley was '
'lenty smart enough and able to run
he post office down at Flat Rock. AS
between the two-to tell the truth and
lothin but the truth-he has forgot
more in the past three years than old +
nan Wade Sampley ever did know all ,
nut together, Aud yet they didn't tell |
% felonious big lie on Tip Wesley when =
hey put out the reports that he didn't !
ven know how old he was, or when his !
eNt birthday would come. 1t was all q
acts-facts as cold and solem as the

do everything but talk. When in use
it is connected to. the ship or shore
from which it is operated, by an insu-
lated wire, and carries above water
some visible object to show its loca-
ton. The wire with which it is con.
nected is carried on a reel in the torpedo.
and pays out as the torpedo runs its
course. By this wire it can be started,
stopped, steered. fired, sunk or raised at
