How to Garry O Gun.

There arc only two directions in
which the muzzle Of gun can safely be
pointed; these are up or. down. A shot
fired in air can scarcely injure any
one or anything and one discharg-
ed into the ground is. equally harm
less. Therefore, in all the, different
positions which the gun assumes, see
that it is pointed either up or down.
Sometimes a man will be seen who
carries his gun reversed, holding it by
the muzzle while the fore end rests
on the shoulder and the stock projects
behind. Happily. this practice Is not
common, for it is extremely dangerous,
and many men have been killed by
carrying their guns in this way. If q
man stumbles or steps in a hole or
catches his foot on root and falls, his
gun will very likely be thrown for
ward with the muZzle directly toward
his body and may easily enough be dis
charged. "'' -...
Sometimes one may see a boy or
even a man who will carry the gun
across the back Of the neck, with one
arm over the stock and the other over
the barrels, sometimes win the hand
resting on the muzzle. This is certain
to give a very uncomfortable feeling
to any one who happens to be walking
by the side of the person carrying his
gun in this fashion and opposite the
muzzle end. While the danger of a
discharge is perhaps not great it is I'M
pleasant to be walking along with a
gun pointed at your neck or head

The Presbyterian Pastors Farewell.

Rev. Chas. Oberschmidt, the beloved
minister who for four and a half years
has been serving the Presbyterian
congregation at this place, preached
his farewell sermon before his people
here last Sabbath. 1t was full of ten
derness and deep concern for the spir

were few dry eyes in the house when
the farewell words were said. Mr.. and
Mrs. Oberschmidt leave this week for
Ellisville, where Mr.. O. will serve as
pastor of the Presbyterian church.
The undivided and unrestrained good
wishes of all Brookhaven follow the
able divine and his good wife. Our
city can never give them up wholly, for
a part of their life lies buried in Rose
Hill cemetery, where rests the mortal
clay of their two little babes. Above
the ashes of their dead, like incense
from an altar, the prayers of our peo-
pie will oft ascend for the parents so
sadly bereaved and so nobly bearing
life's burden,
For what are men better than sheep or goats
That nourish a blind life within the brain,
If. knowing God, they lift not hands in prayer
Both for themselves and those who call them
friends?

Mr.. A. G. Lake moved his family and

home three miles northeast of Summit
to Crystal Springs. He intended to
move to Brookhaven, but could not find
a house there, and hence went.to Crys
tai Springs, where we wish them health
and all prosperity.-Sammit Sentinel
We judge the kind of house wanted
could not be found. There may be
others, but this editor knows of two
splendid houses-one for sale, the
other for rent or sale, at reasonable
terms, in Brookhayen. However, at
the rapid rate the building of resi-
dences is going on and the demands
still made for houses, the influx of

such unerring aim that the missile
caught the sergeant just above the eye,
inf1icting a nasty cut.

a Yoke on q Professor.

Among some intensely amusing COLI
Iege scrapes told by "a Graduate in
The Ladies' Home Journal is the story
of q certain professor not much liked
by his pupils who was to be married.
The lady lived in Cleveland. And the
students that loved 60 him were not
of course invited. But they determin-
ed that in some way he should hear
from them. And he did. On the day
appointed the professor took the train
at 10 o. m, due to arrive at Cleveland
at 1890 D. m. About II o'clock Jim
Townsend rushed to the telegraph Of
flee and sent off this dispatch:
Chief of Police, Cleveland: Man
coming on train No. 6, tall, we'll dress
ed, frock coat, silk hat, side whiskers.
Escaped lunatic. Hold. Shrewd, there
fore beware. Strange case. Will say
name Finalli. Mistake. Thinks he is
professor in a college. Delusion. Es-
cort to home of friends ait No. - Euc-
lid avenue"
This message reached it's destination
long before train No. 6 reached Cleve-
land, so that when Professor Finalli
alighted it was to walk straight into
the custody of three detectives. They
would listen to no words Of reason, but
escorted him out to the house on Euclid
avenue, the home of his intended bride.
