Peaks" told Jim Bark, the well-known
cattleman, "the boys are all handy
with a rife. We've got a lot of guns
up there. The old-fashioned black
powder Winchester has been discard
ed, and nothing but the best goes.
Most Of the new guns were bought dur
ing the Spanish war, when we would
experiment all day with tree trunks
and rough trenches. learning the art
Of war at home. We found that a bull
let from one Of the new Winchesters
driven by smokeless powder was good
for four foot and more of pine timber,
and for o than an inch of iron.
I thought the boys had done about
everything in the shooting line that
could be done long ago, but I wal mis-
taken. I sent them up a wagon. In
hauling down ONE frewood they
broke the holsters all to flinders. The
holsters hold up the wagon bed, you
know. Well, the boys figured out all
right the rebuilding Of the wood parts,
but came near being stumped on the
iron hxings. They got some. old iron
wagon tires and cut them in proper
lengths. but hadn't q way that they
could see to punch the necessary bolt
holes. Finally the question was
solved. One of the boys carefully
marked: the places for the bolts, stood
the piece Of tire against a tree and put
. bullet, 80 caliber, through the tire
at each place marked. It was q novel
sort Of blacksmithing, but 1t worked"

His tail was stifiy horizontal. His
mouth was open and his eyes were

a rumbling like that Of an earthquake

set up q roar. Dewey's cat jumped
down on the back Of the goat and every

DUEL OF

Remarkable Contest Between Fold
Pieces During the Crimsan Wa
No duels have been arranged be.
tween the Long Tom of the Beers and
any of the favorite guns of the British,
put In the Crimean war was fought a
duel between two pet pieces of artil-
lery, which, considering all its phases
probably has not been paralleled in
warfare. One day the Russians sent Q
message to the English at the time q
flag OF truce was flying. "Your So
FOUNDER gum" said the bearer, (which
your people call Jenny, is a beautiful
gun; but we have one as good. We
should like to have a fair duel with
her." The challenge was accepted, and
everything arranged for ~ o'clock next
day. When the time arrived all the
batteries ceased firing, and the two
armies looked on. "Our sailors gun

mounted on the parapet and took OF
their hats. saluting the Russians. The
Russians returned the compliment, To
the English gun, as the senior gun,
was given the compliment Of firing the
first shot. It struck the side of thu
embrasure. Then they fred-a good
shot, too. The third shot from Jenny
went clean through the Russian EN-.
brasure. and up went two gabions. The
b~luejackets jumped up on their para
pet and cheered, thinking they had
beaten their opponent. Not a bit! A
minute afterward down went the
gabions and out came the Russian gun
again. Several more shots were fired
from both sides, all very good ones.
Jenny got a thump, but it did her no
harm. At length, I think after the
seventh shot from our side, we saw the
Russian gun clean knocked over. Our
fellows cheered v~ociferously, and the
Russians mounted the parapet and
took of their hats in acknowledgment
of their defeat. All the batteries then
opened again."

People who flock southwark during

home take on some new and strange
occupations. At present the passion. is
for whiting, says the Washington
Post. In fact, it is, the amusement Of
the hour Of the banker, the merchant
and the tired-out millionaire. But 1t is
not the same aimless chipping away
Of a stick that delights the schoolbcy;
very pretty things are made by these
grave designers, paper cutters being
n of the most general. After a num-
Der OF men congregated at some resort
have been attacked by the craze, it is
amusing to see them starting out to
find the wood. They go forth clad in
knickerbockers and armed with great
Jack-knives, as serious as though IN
search Of the buck Of the season. More
priced than any other are the woods of
the laurel and rhododendron. Both are
exquisitely white and receive as high
and fine a polish as satin. Straight
pieces Of considerable length are chos-
en- to be cut and it is desirable that
they should terminate in a fork. The
forked part is left undisturbed in its
natural state for the handle, while the
other end is whitfield down into the
blade Of the cutter. Various are the
ways of achieving this apparently
simple end and every man finds con-
tentment in the conviction that his
own knife and tools are the: best. The
INA polishing is universally done with.
s%andpaper and a broken bit of glass.
knitting needles are also popular
among the things that are being whit
tied. They are finished at the top
with a round ball, which has carved
upon 1t the initials Of the one who is
to be their possessor. The greatest
achievement in whiting, however, Is
an endless chain that was recently
done by quite an old gentleman who
had gone to the south to rest. WITH
in each link rested a little revolving
ball. 1t was truly a chef d'oeuvre.
Scientifically it is claimed that there is
something about the mechanical calm
Of whiting which is most restful to
an overtaxed mind.
