Too Ill to shoot

"They tell a funny story in the army
about Capt. Patillo, the crack shot,"
said n of a party of late diners to q
New Orleans Times Democrat man.
According to the yarn, Gen. Miles and
a high Washington official once visited
a western post where the captain was
stationed and sent word that they
would like to see a little exhibition of
his skill. Patillo happened to be
quite sick at the time, but he couldn't
very well refuse, and presently ap-
peared on the long-distance range. He
blazed away and an Irish sergeant who
had been sent out to act as marker
waved a small flag. what does that
mean? asked the distinguished visitor.
1t means l missed the whole target
replied Patillo, gloomily. He tried
again, with the same result. L don't
know what's the matter with mel he
exclaimed, in deep modification, I
never did such work in my life!' At
the third shot the distant figure varied
the wig-wagging and the assembled
officers %applauded. The signal meant
a bulps-eye. Thereupon he fired
twenty consecutive rounds and each
time the flag waved back the news that
he had pierced the inner circle. 1t was
a marvellous record, an unparalleled
score; the distinguished visitor was

Hoodwinking the Duke.

The Duke of Wellington used to re-
late how he got famously taken in on
one occasion. The troops had taken to
plundering a good deal Che said). 1t
was necessary to stop it, and l issued
an order announcing hat the first man
caught in the act should be hanged on
the spot. One day, just as we were
sitting down to dinner, three men were
brought to the door of the tent. The
case against them was clear, and l had
nothing for it but to desire that they
should be led away and hanged in
some place where they might be seen
by the whole column in it's march next
day. l had a good many guests with
me on that occasion, and amongst the
rest, l think Lord Nugent. They
seemed dreadfully shocked, and could
not eat their dinner. l didn't like it
much myself, but, as I told them, 1 had
no time to indulge my feelings-I must
do my duty. Well, the dinner vent off
rather gravely, and next morning, sure
enough, three men in uniform were
seen hanging from the branches of a
tree close to the high road. 1t was a
terrible example, and produced the de-
sired effect; there was no more plum
dering. But you may guess my aston
ishment when some months afterward,
| learned that n of my staff took
counsel with the hospital surgeon, and
as three men had just died in hospital,
they hung them up, and let the three
culprits return to their regiments.
Weren't you very angry, Duke?" was
the question. well, I suppose 1 was
at first; but l had no wish to take the
poor fellows lives and only wanted the
examples, and as the example had the
desired effect. my anger soon died out.
and l confess to you that l am very
glad now that the three lives were
spared"

Katy's Experience.

I wish you could have known Katy.
She was one of the dirtiest little crea-
lures l ever saw. The first glimpse had
of her was as she lay on the floor
asleep behind the kitchen stove, with
her pretty white dress all brown
with dirt. On the floor behind
the stove! Funny place, wasn't
it? Well. Katy's mother was dead,
you see, and her life was full
of experiences. She was neglected, of
course, like many another little orphan,
and everybody wished her out of the
way. Finally, mother took pity on
her and took her home to live with us.
And we had some experiences also.
Young as she was, her heart seemed
filled with gratitude from the first, and
she wished to be always near her kind
henefactors. This was not always
agreeable, and at times various meth
DDS had to be devised to keep her at
home, for she had a great habit OF fol-
lowing after us. / remember one time
in particular we were going away
for a few hours and did not wish to
be troubled with Katy. so we locked
her in and felt quite content. Chill
dren are fond of investigating things
for Themselves when left alone and
many accidents have occurred simply
by leaving the children locked in. Well,
we didn't find the house burned down,
neither did we find Katy burned up,
but this is what we did find. In one
corner of the wood house, or general
storeroom, stood the barrel of soft soar
and Katy had evidently wondered what
was inside, so she investigated. or per.
haps had simply climbed up to look al
something else. and the v had tip
ned, dropping Miss Katy inside. How
funny she did look, all daubed ant
coated with soft soap! OF course sh'
