from different places OF interest In
virginia. One mountaineer who came
to pass judgment on the work could
not conceal his disdain, and blurted
out: "There amt no use for you-all to
work on that little house; the SHOWS
going to melt them chimbleys, surel"
He referred to the towers. Another
man of the same kind looked on at the
building for some time with q pitying
smile, and said: what shame them
two young ladies is childish!" II was
afterwards learned that he regarded
the builders as harmless lunatics.
After four months of not uninterrupt-
ed labor the castle was finished. One
of the architects carved little figures
out of wood, and dressed them to rep
resent the household of n baron. The
knights are clothed in tinfoil armor,
each carrying lance and battle-ax;
all the ladies are arrayed in brightly
colored silks. An armed sentry stands
on guard in each watch-tower, and a
captive princess peeps through the
bars of a lofty easement, imploring aid
from every brave knight-errant.
The castles height is about two feet
and half, and the rocf on which it
stands measures ten feet in circumfer-
ence, and is three feet high. The APP
proaches to the castle is by causeway
rising gradually from the ground at
the rear. and forming semicircle OF
wall until ii reaches the entrance gate,
where 1t stops abruptly. Across tho
space between the castle walls and the
causeway is thrown drawbridge,
which can be raised or lowered by it's
iron chains at moments notice. A
portcullis and two watch-towers guard
TINS entrance to the courtyard. which
lies within. surrounded on all sides by
high walls. Across the courtyard ON
both sides, opposite the watch-towers,
rise the two high towers; the round
tower being on the right hand, near
which is the postern leading into the
strong keep. The banner, which floats
from the highest tower. has the ar
mortal bearing. or, a lo0 rampant,
gules, that is, a rampant red lion on a
yellow fed. The same standard waves
proudly over the great gate.

windows in the watch towers. After
the box had been built over on all
sides with rocks, held in place by
mortar, another. smaller box was
placed on top of'it, and covered in like
manner. Both were first rooted with
tin to prevent leaking; but this has
been carefully concealed. There are
also hidden drains both in the castle
and causeway.. The towers are built

where spaces are left to give the effect
of rooms. The ''workmen" expert
enced great difficulty in finding the
necessary number of properly shaped
stones for the battlements, which re-
quired such eXactness. ~
Every one on the place was requested
to look out for small stones, and walk

see a snake-charming exhibition. The

ther exclaimed, and the Snowman
pulled back in alarm for the child's
safety.
Then I'll take this one" said Edna,
turning quickly and picking up q
smaller reptile that lay coiled at ono
end of the platform. And before any
body could interfere she had it up in
her arms and it was crawling all over
her.
Don't worry; she's all right" said
the Snowman, she's born to it, and
the snakes know their friends at once.
She won't be hurt"
And she wasn't. Since that time this
miniature prototype of Elsie Venner,"
that strange, wild creature of the gentle
poet-moralist, Holmes, has developed
not merely penchant, but perfect
craze for reptiles.
"They are better than dolls" says
Edna, "for they are alive and they
creep up so close to you and they hug
you and love you better than any doll
ever could. Yes, they are little bit
cold and at first that used to sort of
make me squinch up, but I've got used

Capt Houghton himself received

MINIATURE CASTLE.
An Architectural Curiosity TO De
Seen Among the Rugged Noun
tnins of virginia.

In ST. Nicholas, Ellen Garnett tells
of n miniature stone castle in the
mountains of Virginia, and how it
came to be built.
While spending the summer of 1897
at Earlhurst, Va. amid the wild and
rugged scenery of the Allegheny
mountains, two young ladies, who
were fond of exploring the beautiful
country, were seated one afternoon at
the base of waterfall. Being deeply
impressed by the beauty of the spot,
one exclaimed: How charmingly ro-
mantle! i can almost believe that
Flora Maclvor will any instant appear
seated on that moss-covered rock, dis
coursing sweet music on her harp"
Carried away by such romantic
thoughts, they began to build an i'm
aginary castle, peopled with baron and
serf, besieged and defended, of n cap
tive princess and valiant warrior
knights.
Lets make one!" they cried. Ac-
cordingly, the next day the under
taking was begun.
Alarge purplish bowlder, overgrown
with moss and lichen. on the lawn of
Earlhurst, the summer home of the
builders, was selected as the site on
which to construct this miniature cas-
tie. Building material then became a
serious question. Rocks there We're in
plenty, but sand and mortar had to
be carried for some distance. Tools
were limited, and using screwdriver
in lieu of chisel the slight indenta-
tion in the foundation rock, which
was designed to be the dungeon,
proved but slow work.
This task accomplished, square
box was placed over the excavation, in
which were cut openings for windows
and door. The windows-1s in all
were put together with greatest care,
every stout wooden frame being
crossed and recrossed with a heavy
wire to initiate gratings, then built
in the stone walls over the openings.
They vary in style and size, from the
large easements in the protected
parts of the structure to the small

rain.
at was soon noised about that the
command had been halted while the en-
gineers reported as to whether the
stream in front was fordable, or, as the
boys put it, whether it was more than
chin deep. A cavalryman galloped
back from the front, rode up to the
porch, threw the reins of his horse to
an orderly, and started up the steps
with his saber clanking, when a young
lady standing in the door sprang for
ward, threw her arms around his neck
and kissed him. This unexpected greet
ing caused the company standing near
to cheer, and there were shouts of
Pass it around; don't keep good thing
all to Yourself Gen. Palmer turned
and, taking in the scene, said, grimly:
Pleasure before business. When you
get through, young man, will you re-
port to me?"
The cayalryman turned embar-
rased, saluted and reported that the
stream in, front was not fordable. and
that the water would not probably run
out for four hours. And you are glad
of it, l suppose said the general. L
don't understand this way of doing
business, but you probably do; but I
want to say enc thing, the next time
you carry message attend to business
before pleasure While the general
waited on the porch our regiment
marched off and went into camp in
what the boys called goose pasture.
When the men learned that the young
lady who had given the cayalryman
such hearty greeting was simply
sweetheart of his at Murfreesboro
they lost interest in the case. They had
hoped that she was some southern girl
who had met him previous to the war.

Farthest North Civil War Fights.

During the last term of the Schuyler
county court discussion arose among
the attorneys one evening as to the To-
cation of the most northern battle of
the civil war. Several of the United
States histories refer to Lees attack on
Meade at Gettysburg as the scene of the
most northern battle. There was a
skirmish at Lancaster in November,
1861, and regular pitched battle at
Athens, in Clarke county, Mo-, in which
several were killed on both sides. The
latter fight occurred the first Monday
in August of that year. Both of these
points are 60 or 10 miles north of Gettys-
burg, and were close to the Iowa line.
In all three of these northern battles of
the war the federals were Victorious

The State Shoot was Pulled off in
a Very Satisfactory Manner.

The state shoot was grand sue
cess, the climatic conditions were
very favorable and the attendance
was large.
One peculiar feature of the
tournament was that all contest
ants who entered the first event,
shot the entire program through.
The tournament was represent
ed by a large delegation, from
Pueblo and was also well repre-
sented by Colorado Springs, Den
yer, Canon and Leadville. GO
J w. Garrett, of Colorado
Springs, won the state Champion
ship the first day and E. l.. Del
bert high average. A. F. Miller
and j. W. Garrett won second
high average.
The second days tournament
was even more interesting than
the; first and the contestants shot
with vengeance.
The Florence team won the
Salida team cup by a large major
|ity and J.sW. Garrett was again
lucky, having won high average.
E. Z Deibert, of Florence, and
w. W. gSbemwell, of colorado
Springs, won second high average.
Every body was we'll pleased
WITH the results of the shoot and
should another tournament be held
in Florence the attendance will be
very larges The members of the

serve credit in the infringement
