Gun Flints.

} Grin Belknap's story Of the old
>hintlock gun, which he found in a
pile of rubbish, reminds me of a cir
cumstance which occurred away back
In the twenties, in a newly settled
part of Erie County, New York. It
was here that q man, while cutting
out a new road, had occasion to roll
out an old rotten log, which lay
bedded in the decayed leaves and
rubbish, under which lay rifed gun.
the barrel and lock covered with rust
and the stock mostly rotted off. Near
by was a blacksmith shop built of
logs, owned and occupied by an old
uncle OF mine, not 50 very old, how
ever, at that time, as it was about
seventy-fve years ago. The shop was
quito a resort on rainy days, and sew
eral men had gathered here, when
along came the man with the old gun
barrel, and stuck the breech end into
the red-hot forge, thinking. perhaps,
by heating he might get the breech-
pin out. AS it became sufficiently
heated the barrel did not go off, but
the charge did, and sent a bullet into
the hardwood side logs of the build
ing, barely missing two or three men
in its course. The surprise could bet
ter be imagined than described. OF
course there was no clew az to how or
when the gun had been left there. It
had evidently been secreted for some
purpose, and nothing more was yer
learned about it.
In my boyhood days. when I began
my shooting, it was only hintlocks
that were known or used, and every
store kept gun fints IN plenty, and
they sold cheap, at one two or three
cents each, as near as l can remem-
ber.-Forest and Stream.

TWO NEWSPAPER STORIES.
Young Men Who Were Ready to Dare
ANYTHING Fer Fame.

Over in Vincennes. Ind. there
lived a Young man who. on reading
of the destruction Of the battleshlp
Maine, became filled with 4 desire to
invade Cuba with the first batch OF
war correspondents. His name Is ).
Willoughby Weep, and he Is SAID to
have written to Bob Paine. manaS-
ing editor Of the Cleveland Press, as
follows:
For SO per week | want TO go TO
Cuba as your correspondent, and Will
Cuban army, and, if necessary, fight
by the side OF General Gomez
The recipient Of the letter IS a wit,
and IL a caustic reply TO Mr.. Weep
inquired what sum would lie demand
TO go and die with the CuhaHs. he
was amazed a few days later 10 be
handed a letter from Nincen2es IN
which tie would-be WAY corresnon-
dent made this answer
Fifteen dollars per week and ex-
penses."
1t goes without saying that Mr..
Weep was employed, and, most
strange to record, he was one of the
best men in the field. He is now
numbered with the regular writer's for
the Cleveland Press and at more than
'S15 per week and expenses"
About the same time Managing Edi-
tor Paire al surprised to reach his
desk one afternoon and find o telegram
awaiting his arrival, on which $3.50
was due. 1t Tas a carefully wOrded
application for a job from ! young
man who resided in GAINESVILLE, Ohio.
Such assurance appalled, Paine, and
he sat down and dashed off an answer
in keeping with a popular song he
had heard the night previous.
"Read your answer in the stars"
read the dispatch, and it was sent
''collect."
But on the second day he tore open
a second telegram from GAINESVILLE.
Here it is:
'The stars say come" Within
t~wenty-four hours the applicant was
on hand in Cleveland, and the editor
gave the young man a position on the
paper.

a Penny a Month.

A money-lender obtained judg-
ment 10 his favor recently at Br-
mingbam but it will take him sixty
years to recover the debt.
The plaintiff was Julius Jones,
aud he sought to recover GA from
Daniel Blower on promissory note.
Jones offered to lend Blower 81, aud
the latter signed note for f12,
payable IS a week. When defeud-
ant got home he repented and sent
back to Jones fS, asking him to can
eel the note. Jones refused, and
afterwards defendant agreed to pay
a further f5 to get quit Of tho mat
ter, He had not paid the amount,
and Jones sued for the "a due on
the note.
Judge Harrington said Jones was
legally justified in claiming the e3,
which the defendant had agreed to
pay; but the defendant had been
induced to go to Jones by lying
scandalous advertisement. Under
these circumstances he thought this
was one Of the rare cases in which
he ought to interpose the jurisdic-
ton he had, and order such install
ments to be paid as made the judg-
ment absolutely futile.
He gave, judgment for the plain
tiff for SD, payable by instruments Of

OF late he had appeared to be in fair
health and during the winter was not con-
fined to his home except by the bad wealth
er. His trembling walk showed the weak
ness Of the body. He had complained Of
nothing save his weakness, and there was
nothing to indicate anything dangerous in
his condition, and his family were totally
unprepared for the shock of his sudden
death.
In the death Of Richard ]. Oglesby the
State Of Illinois loses one Of the last Of the
group Of great men who took so prominent
part in the political affairs of the State
during and Immediately after the civil
war. Like Yates, the great war Gov
ernOr Of the State, and like Beveridge and
Palmer, he had himself borne arms in the,
service Of the Union and had done in the
field under Grant the work that lincoln
was designing at Washington. His war
record was conspicuously brilliant and he
left the field, wounded and unfit for fur
Their service, with the rank of major gen.
eral. His eligibility for the post Of Gov
ernor was instantly recognized. 1t was
his deserved distinction to be elected Gov
ernor three times, in 1864, again in 1872
and again in 1884, although he resigned
at the beginning of his second term in Or
der to accept seat in the United States
Senate.
Gov. Oglesby's record was one in which
his State may justly take pride. He was
a man Of sterling integrity, solid Judgment
and considerable acuteness of perception.
He was. an earnest follower of the party,
but kept his own Independent judgment
upon pending issues. The regret which
must be felt at his death will be softened
by the recognition of the fact that his long
life was well rounded with useful activi-
ties on behalf of State and nation. He
was one of the men whose life and
achievements have added to the reputation
and honor Of Illinois,

The Siamese Baby.

A Swedish explorer who has spent
several years in Siam gives an ac-
count of the way the Siamese baby is
brought up, that may shed some light
on the perpetually perplexing servant
problem. When the Siamese mother
wants a nurse for her lambkin she
HES her to the nearest elephant keep
er and hires at good wages a four
footed maid for her baby. The ele-
plant is fond of his charge and per-
forms his duties more zealously and
conscientiously than do most nurse
maids. In the parks and sometimes in
the public streets wee toddlers may
be seen, taking their morning walk
between the unwieldly limbs of their
big attendants who step with scrupu-
lous care to avoid hurting them. At
the slightest signal of danger, such
as a horseman passing or a snake
rearing it's head in the grass, the Dig
nurse seizes it's charge with its trunk
and deposits it upon its own broad
back. The babies grow very fond OF
their attendants, and probably are
quite as we'll hammered as the baby
reared on slaps and shakes and adj
monitions in bad English or provincial
French or German.
