Daneerous Imitation.

Old hunters love to recall tho times
when Kentucky abounded in game, and
many are the stories they can tell of "the
good old days f"
Once upon time 1t became known In
Graves county that remarkably large
flock of wild turkeys might be found near
the forks of two small creeks. At that
time the game laws were not so rigid as
now, and it SO happened that two hunters
started out the same morning after the
flock. The purpose Of each was to kill the
old hen, for then 1T required but little skill
to call up the half grown brood, which are
Justly accounted the best of eating, and
kill many or all of them. To fool an old
gobbler or hen Is a feat of which few can
boast, but the young ones may be tolled
into range by an amateur
Well, one of the hunters gave with his
turkey wing bone caller the Peep, peepp"
of a youngling. 1t was answered by the ap-
parent "Kee-ouP' of the old hen which he
especially sought. Failing to draw the
supposed hen nearer, he began to stalk her
down, and finally drew so near the place
that he began 10 stealthily search for her
location. He saw, in "a dim way, some
thing move and drew ga bead" with his
gun, which was loaded with buckshot.
At that critical period came the Cry of,
'For Gods sake, don't shootl' and a few
explanations sufficed to show that neigh
Dor had killed the old hen, was initiating
her call and came near losing his life for a
stimulation which q brother human could

UNDER FALLING WALLS.
More Deaths mt the Union Storage Building
at Pittsburg.


Pittsburg, Feb. 16.-The south wall
of the Union Storage Company build
ing. which was destroyed in the big
fire last Wednesday, fell shortly after
IL o'clock. A number of boys were at
play about the ruins and 1t is believed
that at least five were caught by the
falling wall and are buried under the
debris. The news caused great excite
ment. as it was at first reported that
ten men had been killed. This was un-
true. The extent Of the accident is not
yet known. Two persons, Samuel Lew
is, a colored man. and Charles Cramer,
a boy, were taken out alive. They were
not dangerously hurt. Young Cramer
says a number of his companions were
caught under the wall
At 1880 p. m. the search was aban-
doned, and the workmen ordered from
the ruins on account of the dangerous
walls and the uncertainty of finding
any alive in the wreckage. No more
work will be done until the threatening
walls have been torn down.

AT THE WHITE LUNCHEON.
It Looked Very Lovely. and No One Knew
the History back Of IL.


An incident showing the determination
Of young America TO have his own way or

dinners that are voted dreams by the par

of those functions that proved the occasion
of this tale 1t was wholly white, and for
dessert all the sweets were to be masked
and smothered In whipped cream. So
big bowl of that substance was made ready
early in the fray Thon the cook and her
helpers gave their minds TO other things.
But they were very much hindered by the
son of the house. young gentleman aged
9, with a wide and persistent desire to see
the domestic wheels go around. He peeked
and pried and questioned until forbearance
ceased to be virtue but became a crime.
Then the cook rose in wrath, seized him
by the ear and led him ignominiously to
an upper region.
OF course no did not stay there. Within
five minutes he was back. But he said
nothing TO anybody-only marched
straight at the bowl of cream and planted
his pet Maltese kitten accurately in the
middle of 1t. Then there was "a howd'y-
do, sure enough 1t was too late to secure
more cream, much less to think of whip
ping it in time-and whipped cream was
the triumphant note of the coming feast.
Cook was woman of resource, besides
having "a soul beyond prejudice. She rose
to the situation, as she did to the kitchen.
"Shure, it's clane baste-mysilf al

the animal carefully by the back of its
