sick just before the Fair. Last night
they were out by o'clock, and a pc

dangerous to pass br the stout obstruc-
ton in front of the Carrollton, without
the aid of the electric light. Night be-
fore last they were not in view at II
O'Clock.

presses and types are shown, and that
the development Of the art Of printing
Is illustrated from its very earliest
stages. 1t Is claimed that more than
afty Of these volumes were printed
prior to any issued by Caxton's press
and many are from presses which never
issued more than one or two books. So
says the Public Ledger. In some casee
specimens Of the work OF that particu
lar press are not known to exist else
where.
1t Is gratifying feature Of the col
lection that a large proportion Of the
books are in their original bindings.
Among other books of exceptional
rarity are the first Bible Concordance,
issued probably about 1466; the first
octave edition Of the Bible, by Froude.
printed In 1491, and known as the Poor
Mans Bible; two of the five books
printed in Greek capital letters in the
fifteenth century; Latin Bible printed
In Lyons in 1479. and regarded as the
rarest Of all the Latin Bible editions.
1t is so scarce that noted photographers
doubted its existence. This copy is the
only known specimen of the work of the
press that issued it.
1t Is said of twenty Of the works thai
copies are not to be found even In the
British Museum.

Clocks for oueer U.es.


One Of the latest developments Of tn.
common domestic clock Is worthy of Sc
rious attention. 1t comes from Switz
erland, and takes the form Of a phonO
graphic attachment TO an ordinary
clock. which at any disired hour Of the
morning will shout, "lt Is "a O'Clock;
get up! Now, don't go to sleep againi"
The possibilities Of an extension Of this
principle are immense. There might
be clocks for the boxing ring, saying
Time, gentlemen" and clocks FOR the
parliamentary bore, with cry OF
"vide! WIDER Church congregations
which have suffered many things at the
hands of long winded preachers might
subscribe for a clock which should utter

BATTLE WITH WILDCAT.
Hunter Uses Red Pepper to Good
Advantage on q Wild Beast.

Hunter Uses Red Pepper to Good
Advantage ON q Wild Beast
For the first winter in many years
wildcats have been numerous along the
Fulton Chain. 'BilP' Harwood, an old
time Adirondack guide, arrived in
town last week with his head and
arms done up in bandages, as evidence
Of the willingness Of a wildcat to fight
when In close quarters.
HarwOOd and his big deerhound,
Spot had been making a tour of the
lakes for winter game, when they were
caught in snow storm on Black River
mountain. near Rocky Point. They
camped for the night In a shack left
by a party Of surveyors. Along in the
morning HarwOOd was awakened by
the barking Of the hound. Turning
over In his blankets he saw two shining
eyes In a corner Of the shack. Har-
wood knew that it was a wildcat The
cat had crawled to the entrance, when
the hound leaped ahead and blocked
the way out A terrific battle follow
ed. The cat leaped for the hound and
literally tore the dog into shreds Then
the decayed trees holding the shack
fell over the entrance and the cat and
HarwOOd were literally penned in to
fight duel to the death.
The odds were plainly with the cat,
for Harwood's gun had fallen with the
brush, outside the shack. He was
crawling to reach the weapon when
the cat came down upon him, tearing
it's claws through his face and down his
right arm. If the cat had followed the
attack Immediately the battle would
have been over then and there Har-
woods life was saved by luck and a
clever idea. AS the cat leaped back for
a second attack, Harwood fell for
ward. His hand struck a box of red
pepper which he had brought with his
provisions. Quick as thought he
snatched a handful of pepper. and aris-
ing threw it at the head of the cat The
aim was good. The cat was blinded un-
til HarwOod could crawl outside and
reach his rifle. Then he dropped under
the edge of the shack, and. locating the
cat by the noise, fired until the animal
was dead.-New York World

Possibly. father: but I have all faith
in Sellars' Judgment"
Little wonder, son: but Sellars in this
case has made an egregiOus blunder. My
theory now il that there were two parties
to this crime-tramps, probably. That
one was secreted in the house, perhaps in
the bath room adjoining the bankers
chamber, perhaps in the closet under the
stairs, and that the other was on the out
side of the house."
"WellY'
THAT the object was to rob the banker;
that Unexpectedly Robert Campbell ap-
peared before that had been accomplish
ed and was admitted to the house. The
tramp on the outside waited perhaps half
an hour after he had entered the house.
Perhaps through the open window on the
east side Of the house he had a view Of
the two men seated in the library. Final
ly he ascended to the piazza and rang the
bell vigorously. with a design Of separat-
ing the two men. Possibly he thought the
younger one would come to the door,"
VERY naturally So"
well, after ringing the bell he dashed
away in the darkness. Robert went to
the door, as he stated. There was no one
there. He walked out on the piazza and
examined that. Next he descended the
steps and peered round in all directions in
the gloom and darkness. Presently he
heard a grOan from within the house. He
retraced his steps quickly. The murder
had been committed. The tramp had Sc
cured the bag Of coin and in some man.
ner made his exit from the house."
"Your theory is"
"Wait! Robert was appalled, at the
sight that confronted him. He cried,
Help! Murder! and drew forth the reek-
ing blade from my old friends breast: but
only to find himself moment later charg-
ed by the nephew with having committed
the crime"
You draw a fearful picture, father!'
"The picture was a reality, my son. Yon
could Save made your cese stronger, much
stronger! You could have shown all these
possibilities. You could have shaken the
founded belief Of that jury, as you did not
do
II know it, father. and but for Sellars l
would have done so. He protested against
such q course, as you know, and Robert
Campbell has such implicit confidence in
him that he directed me to be guided by
him in relation to all matters pertaining
to his defense

sentence of death. and for a crime that
he dfd not commit. As for Sellars, he has
not been frank enough with us. II he has q
hope of material evidence-anything aside
from suspicions-he should have made it
apparent"
Remember, father, Lang Sellars is q
man Of action, not Of words. At the pro-
per time he will speak in thunder tones!
Have patience, and waitv'
