HER PARTIN FAVOR.
Promised Little Brother what Was
Coming to Him If He Didn't
Make Himself Scarce.

The morning of her wedding day she
expressed a desire to have a confidential
chat with her mischievous little brother,
and in expectation of some parting favor
he readily followed her to a room where
they could be alone, relates the New
York Times.
You have been very annoying at
times, Earle" she said by way of pref
ace, but l suppose it is only natural
that a boy of your age should be So"
"They always are, sis" he replied
promptly. "All the boys that have older
sisters are just like me. It's half the fun
of being a boy and having a sister"
Il suppose so" she returned, thought
fully. 81 don't know why it should be
so, but l suppose it is. l suppose a girl
who is unfortunate enough to have a
younger brother must expect to find him
hidden behind the sofa when her best
young man calls. l suppose she must
expect to have him suddenly bounce into
the room with a whoop when she thinks
him safely up stairs in bed. | suppose
she must expect to have him turn a dark
lantern on her when she is deep in con-
versation with a young MAJ in the dark
est corner of a v~ine-covered porch in
summer. At any rate, l have no feelins
of resentment, and to prove it l intend to
do you a great favor. Without knowing
it you have done me one, and l intend to
repay you"
II did you one!" exclaimed the boy,
trying his best to figure out when and
how.
yes" she replied. IF it were not
for you, my wedding day would now be
about three months in the future instead
of to-day"
But I-I-what did I do" demanded
the boy, thoroughly bewildered.
You merely made things interesting
III your own inimitable way" answered
the bride to be, "and every time you did
| some particularly outrageous thing he
| pleaded with me to shorten the time Of
our wedding day. It was originally
planned that we should be married about
three months from to-day; but, owing to
your activity, have been enabled to

NEW DEATH-DEALING DEVICE.
One That the Marksmnn to
Aim His Gun While Out of
Sight Himself.

When the Britishers were pent up at
Mafeking they learned that whenever a
head was exposed above the trenches
some Boer sharpshooter either deprived
the owner of life or sent so swift a warn
ing that the possessor of the head kept
down behind the %parapets thereafter as
much as possible. An inventor has
since patented an apparatus to be at
tached to a rifle which enables one to
aim it without exposing ones self to the
craftsmanship of the enemy. The at
tachment, reports the Nsw York Trib-
une, is composed of a lens and mirrors,
which are worked something like a com
bined camera and telescope. Three
adaptations Of the instrument have al
ready been made, namely. the adjust
ment Of a telescope for extreme range
iring, the ready removal from the rifle
for use in scouting duty, and the IN
struction Of a smaller instrument, which
ian be carried in the cartridge belt for
the use of men who have reconnaissance
work TO perform, when it is necessary
10 observe the position and movement
If the enemy without coming within
their ken. Any fern can be adjusted to
the rifle in a few seconds. The mirrors
are a trifle less than n inch square,
md q dozen can be readily carried, so
! hat ~breakages can be quickly repaired.
The psepholc through which the
marksman sights is eight inches below
the barrel. UP goes the rifle on top Of a
stone wall, across o log or over a bowl
der; it is pushed through a lcophole in
he trenches and, completely covered
from viGw, the riloman takes aim. He
can lie flat behind a nire-inch log, he
can kneel back OF a natural or made
embankment, he can stand upright With
d wall to protect him, and in any posi-
ton can use his gun with great rapidly
aid perfect ease.
When a soldier looks through this de-
vice he sees exactly what would appear
through the peepsight of a modern rifle.
The tube containing the mirrors is

THE LINCOLN BANNER.

While the demonstration was at it's
 height Chairman Cannon stepped tc
 the front of the stage. He held in his hand q banner which was waved iE
 1860 when Lincoln was nominated ard
 which has been used in every convSn
 ton since. The flag showed the wear and tear of many, contests. Uncle
 Joe" waved it vigorously and kept time
 with his body. Soon the whole con vention was swaying in exact measure
 The chairman tired, and his place was taken by young man who Srasped the flagstaff firmly in one hand and wit. a megaphone led, yelling. He started to yell Roosevelt, Roosevelt, RoOse- velt' repeated over and over again with the system of Q, college yell. It
 was taken up by the throng, and the cry of Roosevelt rolled over the hall ] in volumes so, great and so terrific that l the screeching of a, hundred steam whistles would have been dwarfed in comparison. At the conclusion of ] every secorGing speech the perform ance was repeated and the speakers i themselves were generally applauded.
 When Senator Fairbanks had been nominated for vice president there was
 no diminution in the demonstration. 1 The voices were hoarse but the noise
 for the choice was unanimous as it
 was in .the filling of the first place on the first place on the ticket. Alabama again yielded it's place at the head ol
