Casual Meeting with . Citise. Who
Wore shoes That Were Thus
Consolidated.

Clearly il was not the paying OF .
freak bet, but a freak of fortune, that
had compelled this man to wear the
shoes he had on, which were one black
and the other tan. Nor did they match
in shape and size much closer than they
did in color; but they were a close pair
in dilapidation, and Thought the man
approached by the wearer Of this cross
matched footgear), il that tan shoe
could be blackened they'd do; they'd do
better, anyhow. There was a place in
town, he knew, where they did that sort
of thing; that Is, wher they changed
tan shoes to black, and he told the man
with the odd shoes where this was, as
nearly as he could remember, giving
him, at the same time, a sum sufficient
10 enable him 20 get the shoes thus
mated up in color; not much was re-
quired, because there was here only half
q pair TO be treated, says the New
York Sun.
Clearly the man with the shoes was
pleased. Despite his seeming lack OF
pecuniary resources, as evidenced not
alone by his odd shoes but by various
other corroborative indications about
him. he was not an uncheerful person,
but the receipt OF the money made him
more cheerful still. As to whether he
would actually devote the money thus
obtained TO having that tan shoe made
black, however. or whether, more or
less careless Of his personal appear
ance, he would spend it for something
else likely to give him greater meas
ure OF immediate enjoyment, the giver
OF il found himself unable-with GER
tainty--to determine.

QUEER ACCIDENTS TO GUNS.
Mishaps on n british Baitleship That
Caused Fear Among
the GreNN.

While the British battleship Thur
derer was off Milford Haven, Wales.
not long ago curious accident TO
one Of her guns caused much alarm
among her crew. \ target had been
put out for practice with the ten-inch
breechloading guns. When one was
fired by electricity only portion of
the projectile was discharged, the
base plate of the shot and a portion
of the frame being left in the gun
When the plate was removed the pres
sure Of gas forced a portion of the
projectile from the breech of the gun.
On the second gun being fired a hole
about three inches in diameter was
blown through the projectile, the
other part Of the base plate being left
behind. The base plate was in this
case separated from the rest Of the
Projectile.
Such accidents are believed never
previously TO have occurred on board
any ship. There was much alarm
among those in the turret, as the
bursting OF the guns was for time
feared. IT is suggested that either
the powder in the projectiles was
damp or there was water in the guns.
So far as can be seen both guns are
sound.

FOUND IN AN OLD STUMP.
Original Manuscript OF the Book Of
Mormon II Discovered In
Illinois.

nsiderable excitement has been
created recently in southern Illinois
over discovery made by Marshal PEN
rod. who lives on a farm close TO the
village of Dongola, in Union county,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean. Penrod
in digging black stump out Of po-
tato field, close to his residence, found
stone which was about foot long and
eight inches in diameter The peculiar
shape Of the stone, which resembled a
pocketbook, attracted his attention.,
and upon close examination he found
carved on its face in English the fol-
lowing words: This stone contains
the original manuscript Of the book OF
the Mormon. Joseph Smith"
The ravages of time had apparently
made little Roadway on the stone, and
upon close examination he found the
stone was hollow. A hole had been
drilled entirely through it, and at both
ends red cedar plugs had been driven.
Upon removing one Of the plugs, sever
al sheets of paper, containing writing
in hieroglyphics that could not be de-
ciphered, were found. The characters
are peculiar, following no known line
Of ancient writing.
At the bottom Of the last page was
found written in English: The finder
of this manuscript will deliver the
same TO the elders of the Mormon
church" The stone still remains with
Mr.. Penrod, and already communica-
tion has been made with the Salt Lake
church, giving the incidents Of the find.
1t is thought the Mo~mon church will
take steps at once to secure the stone
and also the manuscript.
