That was enough for the boy. He ran

liquor as he orGered it. His head was
bandaged in a manner that showed he
had been his own attendant, and now it is
assumed that the ugly cash under the
towel was caused by bullet he intended
to be messenger of death.
The hotel people discovered an exploded
cartridge in the bathroom, and there was
another in the revolver which Nord hau en-
handed over, showing that two shots had
been fred. The second, and main wound,
was found about an inch above the left
nipple, the bullet ranging inward to the
ribs and around to the back, where DR..

under the sFin.
The Baldwin people wired to Mrs. Nord-
hansen at 1922 Adelne street, Oakland,
the wife of the wounded man, and she
reached the hospital yesterday afternoon
with her nephew, G. J. Heesmean, who,
with his uncle, has been in the clothing
business at 1851 Broadway, Oakland.
Neither of the relatives could under
stand the cause of the mans rash act,

is hardly any danger of his death from the
wound inflicted. they gave strict instruc-

NECESSARY FLATTERY.
The Experience OF n Young Woman Who
Tried Plain Speaking For a Week.

The Experience OF Young Woman Who
Tried Plain Speaking For a Week.
1t was the first afternoon of the club
meeting, and the girl who prides her
self on the earnestness of her aims and
objects in life came into the room with
the light of a noble resolve clarifying
her countenance.
''I've been reading the loyelies5 book
in the world, girls, she exclaimed en-
Enthusiastically, "and henceforth shall
never fatter or deceive anybody! The
author says that flattery is the worst of
sins and that
"Tellus your experiences next week, "
interrupted the sarcastic maiden grim
ly. They'll be lot more interesting
than an account of the books preach
ings, and besides''- But the earnest
girl had flown off in indignation, aud
she was decidedly meek and Crestfallen
when next the club members met.
"You needn't laugh" she remarked
TO the sarcastic maiden, who was grin
ming expectantly, "for believe what
the book said was true, only we're not
sufficiently developed to live by such an
elevated standard. You know, l said
should never flatter anybody again all
my life. Well, that was last week,
Now I'm going to fiatter everybody.
I've had enough of plain speaking to
last me lifetime. Last Monday told
mamma she was getting crows feet
when l knew she wanted me to say she
wasn't. Next day Mamie asked me how
old l thought she looked, and l told her
honestly. Mamma hasn'tgot over being
vexed yet, and, as for Mamie, don't
suppose she'll ever speak to me again.
Wednesday our pastor called and
wanted my honest opinion Of his last
sermon. 1 told him, and he was awfully
hurt. Friday 1 told my dressmaker that
considered her awfully careless with
nice material, and she left the house in
anger, with my new dress half done
and not soul among US who knows
how to finish it. Other dressmakers
won't, you know, so what shall do?
"That's the way things have gone
all week Now I'm going to say love-
ly things on principle again, whether
they're true or not. You girls do look
perfectly stunning" she continued
sweetly as her listeners sighed sympa-
thetically 81 do think we have the
prettiest set of girls in the city in our
club and the incest"
And then she wondered that they
didn't really seem grateful for the COM
pliment. "They acted just as if they
didn't think l meant it," she told her
chum afterward. Chicago Times-Her-

IN PISTOLS,
They Have Lowered In Price and In

They Have Lowered In Price and In
creased In Reliability.
There has been more progress made
in the revolver trade in the past ten
years." explained a Connecticut
er manufacturer to Washington Star
reporter, than in any other line OF
trade that I know of. There was a
time when even the old fashioned sim
gle barreled pistol could not be manu-
featured to sell for less than 81, or even
more. That time has gone, and the sin
gle barreled pistol is thing of the past.
In its place came the revolver, which
is now made in all sizes, from vest
pocket revolver to that which is carried
in a holster The prices have kept on
going down as the revolyers have i'm
proved in manufacture so that now q
perfect working and reliable revolver
can be bought at retail as low as 81,
and even the best makes for So or So.
1.-THE self cooking and hammerless
revolver, which five years ago sold at
retail at $40 and s12, can now be
bought by the carload as low as 50 or
So, and the better goods at from 81 70
Sc. In these arms the best steel is used.
The German revolver, which was the
only one which ever seriously competed
with those Of American make, has about
run out its race and is never offered
any more except in country stores,
where it is bought 10y boys. 1t is clum-
sicr made and heavier than the Ameri-
can revolver and no noIo compares
with the latter than than does the Eng
lish line Ct revolvers, which at one
time were very freely sold in this coun-
try. Likewise the American rife and
shotgun have outdistanced all other
makes, though the German cheap shot
guns still find a good market with those
who do not care to put much money in
a gun. The American double barreled
shotgun, which sells at retail for about
SIC, is a much cheaper gun in the long
run than the German make, which sells
at from So to SO, as all of those who
have had experience with them discov-
cred long ago"

GARFIELD'S CABINET.

How SENATOR KIRKwooD CAME TO BE SELECTED
AS A MEMBER OF 1T.
The late Justice Miller of the Supreme Court
once told me, writes Moses P. Handy in the
Chicago Tmes-Herald, how President Garfield
at the last moment was led to make an impor-
tant Cabinet appoin tment.
Justice Miller recalled the fact that at the
inauguration ball he met President Garfield
in the crush of promenaders and presented to
the President lady on his arm. The Pres-
dent bowed and said q pleasant word to the
lady, ana then, tapping the justice on the
shoulder, said: "By the way, Judge, what do
you think of Gresham for Secretary OF the In
terior?"
"He is an admirable man for that or any
other place. Upright, able and industrious.
and has had fine record on the bench"
"And what do you say to klrkwood Tor the
sa me placer
''Well, Mr. President, that is hardly a fair
question after my frank answer to the other
But when You speak of Kirkwood you touch
me on a weak spot. We have known each
other all our lives. and love him like a
brother. AS the war Governor OF Iowa he was
second to no war Governor of them all. He
has served the public in many ways aad al
ways with credit and distinction. Put him
anywhere and you will not regret it,"
Garfield said "thank you" and passed on.
1t was then midnight of the 4th OF March, and
SO late as that the President was UNDECIDED as to
the composition OF his Cabinet. The next day
the nominations were sent 10 the Senate, and
it was seen That the decision was in favor of

appointment to the same Cabinet was not de-

Dorsey he wanted to bet me $1,000 that Mac
Veagh would not have a portfolio, and that if
any Pennsylvauian were appointed it would
be Wharton Barker.
