A REMARKABLE SHOT.
Fired In the Dark, 1t Injured Three
Men Half a Mile Away.

"O,sk of the best and most remarka-
BILE SLOTS made during the war with
Spain," said a gentleman who made an
effort to get into the thick OF the
fight, ''was, in my judgment, made at
Miami, and the man who fired the shot
was a Louisiana boy and member OF
my company. He was doing duty as
provost guard at the time. 1t was late
at night when the soldiers were reused
by the quick, clear crack of a krag-
Jorgensen on the outskirts of the camp.
No particular attention was paid to
the matter at first, as only one shot
was fired But with couple of Off
GERS we went out to where the guard
was stationed in order to find out just
why it was that he had fired at that
time of night. He explained that he
had seen man slipping through the
bushes some distance away and had
called Oh him to halt. He failed to
obey the command, and the guard
blazed away at him, more to brighten
him into a stop than anything else.
, Of course, the fellow never halted. He
was probably too badly frightened to
stop at that time.
"While we were talking to the guard
we heard a fearful noise at least half
mile from the guards station, and we
made break for the place to see what
| the matter was. We heard several
people screaming as if in great agony
Down the road we went at full speed
and in a short while we came upon
little cabin which stood on the road
/ side. The noise was in this cabin, and
never heard such grooming and wall
+ ing in my life. We found three men in
the house. They were in great agony,
and we asked them what was the mat
ter. we have been shot, they said,
and sure enough they had been shot.
zone was shot in the right arm, an
other in the back and the third in the
hip. They had all been wounded by
the same bullet The man who was
wounded in the arm was lying on his
right side. The ball passed through
his arm. Next to him one of his COM
panions was sprawling out on his back,
and the bullet split the hide on this
part of his anatomy as smoothly as a
knife. Then it passed through the
fleshy part of the third mans hip and
sped on.
eve could not find the ball. 1t had
passed through the side of the house,
wounded the three men in the way in
dicated, bored through the wall on the
opposite side and kept on going. Now,
that cabin was fully half a mile from
the point where the guard was sta
toned, and yet the shot he fired had
wrought all the havoc we found."-

The Ascendencx of Beef.

Eight cents a pound for cattle on the
hoof at Chicago, practically the high
est price in twenty years, indicates
clearly that beef farming continues in
the ascendency. If, however, other
testimony were needed, this might be
found in the record Of recent auction
sales. At Chicago $1,000 was paid for
an Angus cow and relatively good
prices for breeding animals in other
markets. What the farmers now hope
for is splendid crop Of corn the COM
ing season. This realized, cattle feed

FIRST OF kLL tViCTlONS.
Magyar Version of the yDulsion
From the Garden OF Lien.

From the Garden OF Lien.
Among the folklore of the peasantry
of Roumania and some of the adJoin-
ing Magyar states. of eastern Europe
is found the story of the expulsion or
our first parents from tta ~ den OF
Eden. 1t runs thus:
When Adam and Eve fell, God sent
Gabriel, the Magyar angel, to turn
them out of Eden as a punishment for
their sin. Gabriel was received most
courteously, food and drink of the
best being set before him. Now, Ga
briel had a kind heart and took pity
upon the poor folk and would not ac-
cept their hospitality, remembering his
Grand So he returned and begged
that some one else be sent to evict the
sinners, as he really could not do it.
The Raphael, the Roumanian angel,
was sent and was received as Gabriel
had been. He, however, was very fond
Of a good dinner, and so he sat down
and thoroughly enjoyed himself. The
feast over, he told the erring pair his
errand. They at once began to weep
most piteously and beg for mercy.
Their bitter sorrow so touched his aft
er dinner heart that he, too, returned
and asked that some one else be sent,
as he could not possibly turn out the
poor folk after accepting their hospital
ity. Then it was that Michael, the
German angel, was sent. He was re-
ceived as the others by the trembling
pair and treated even more sumptu-
ously. He sat down and enjoyed him
self till the last morsel of food had
vanished and there wasn't a drop Of
liquor left. Then he arose, and, turn
ing to his host and hostess, said, Nov,
then, out you go. and be quick about
it." Most piteously did Adam and Eve
beg at least for time, even reminding
him that he had partaken of their
bread. All in vain. Thus it was that
our first parents were driven out of
. Eden.

BULLETS AS EVIDENCE.
Odd Facts Developed by Their Prom
fnence In Murder Trials.

tnence In Murder TrIalS.
The important part played in many
murder trials by fiattened and mis-
shapen bit of lead or steel, once in the
form of bullet, often leads to the de-
velopment of some curious facts, says
the Baltimore American. A leaden bull
let will lose appreciably in weight by
being fired, and the form of the barrel
may tend to reduce it's size. In a rifle
some Of the lead is taken off by the
grooves. The friction also heats and
tends to partially melt the outside OF
the ball, and because Of this it changes
it's shape in the air.
One peculiar fact about a bullet is
that it will very often make wound OF
entry smaller than the projectile itself
even in so brittle a substance as glass.
Another strange fact about a bullet is
that it will often pass through inter-
vening clothing, making hole that can
hardly be noticed, and yet carry on it's
point circular piece of cloth. The car
rying of bits of clothing, hair or dirt in
to wounds in such a manner greatly
Were it not for this latter contact the
bullet would not be nearly so danger
GUS, as it's rapid flight and heating
make it practically sterile.
Blackened edges of wounds are more
likely to have been caused by lead
bullet, although the ball with lead tip
could also produce this result. Regard
ing powder stains, smokeless or other
wise, nothing of great value is to be
gained when the shooting occurs at a
distance greater than twelve or fifteen
feet. At recent trial a doctor stated
that from powder marks on the face
he judged that the shot had been fired
at a distance Of not more than three
feet, which conclusion was later backed
up by the assertion made on the stand
by the prisoner himself.

produce valuable forms of humus rich
in nitrogen. The humus produced Is
capable of combining with the phos-
phoric acid and potash of the soil to
form humates. Sawdust, straw ana
carbohydrates produce a humus rich
In carbon. This hulnus naturally has
less power to combine with the phos-
phoric acid and potash of the soil than
that formed from materials richer in
nitrogen. The humus from soils which
have been cropped for series of years
contains less nitrogen and mineral
matter and more carbon than that
from soils which have not been cult
waited. Those who live in the sheep
feeding districts are more fortunate
than most farmers in this respect
