UNCLE SANS NEW RIFLE.
Old krag Being Put Away to Make
Room for the New Springfield,

The work OF replacing the old black
powder Springfield rifle in the National
Guard with the Krag-Jorgensen is only
Krag is obsolete and is to be superseded
by a new Springfield. This weapon
which is now undergoing it's service
tests, is officially described in the cur
rent number of the Journal of the Mill
tary Service Institution.
1t is a magazine rifle, centrally fed by
clips.
1t has a rod bayonet which may be
used also as a cleaning rod.
It's caliber Is 80.
1t fires a 220 grain bullet-say half
an ounce-with 1873 grains Of smokeless
powder.
The bullet starts off at a velocity of
$500 feet per second, and is still going
at the rate Of 95S feet per second when
it has travelled 1000 yards, at which
point IL has left q striking energy OF
i47 .9-foot pounds. The energy at the
muzZle is 1851 .6-foot pounds, and the
bullet will penetrate over -four and a
half feet of white pine at a distance of
lfty-three feet.
The new rife is made Of eighty-two
pieces.
1t is to be provided with riot
cartridges. each containing two round
balls made of lead and tin in the pro-
portion Of 10 to Luminous ratio-and
propelled by "a grains of smokeless
powder. These bullets will have an eff
fective range OF 200 yards.

Save Your rypewriter Ribbons.

New York Press: Don't throw away
old, worn-out typewriter ribbons. This
is the advice of q veteran stenographeT
in a downtown office.
'fOld ribbons make the best Ink in
the world" he said. After n has
been so badly worn that the keys make
but q faint impression on the paper the
cloth still contains enough coloring
matter to make a pint OF high-grade
ink. Take the ribbon and put 1t In q
Jar containing about a pint of cold wa
ter. Let 1t stand there for three days,
stirring it around once In a while. The
result will be better ink than you can
buy for Is cents a pint.
The best of ink is used on typewriter
ribbons. 1t practically is indelible
when used with the pen. Moreover,
there is no sediment in 1t. Most inks
ire not solutions, as many persons
think. The coloring matter is simply
held in suspension. In good inks this
matter stays evenly distributed
throughout the liquid. In h poor inks
1t sinks 20 the bottom, and you have q
gummy deposit at the bottom of the
we'll. Black ribbons are always the
most available for making ink in this
fashion, as most persons object TO using

ASKED SHERIFF TO PULL ROPE
Story Told of Senator Joe 6lackburn's
Early Experience.


When Senator Joe Blackburn was a
struggling young lawyer, as all really
great statesmen must have been at some
stage in their career, he was called upon
to defend a negro charged with murder.
Mr.. Blackburn did the best he could
made an impassioned address to the jury
and all that sort Of thing-but the defend
ant was sentenced TO pay the extreme
penalty.
Mr.. Blackburn was then taking his first
DIP into politics, running for some small
local office. He had a hard time getting
people TO attend the meetings. at which he
was advertised to speak, and luck gen.
orally appeared to be against him.. Well.
langing day came and the doomed man
was told that he would have fifteen min
ltes in which to say his last words. Mr..
Blackburn accompanied the man to the
Scaffold, and as his eyes wandered over
he several hundred of his fellow citizens
who had come to witness the spectacle
more than he could ever hope to attract
by his own eloquence-his brain was lit
up by a flash of genius. He had a few
hurried words with his client, in which
he painted the waste of words it would
br for the unfortunate man to talk at
such a time and impressed upon him what
q godsend the opportunity to make a
speech would be to him, Blackburn. The
negro somewhat reluctantly agreed to let
him go ahead. Thereupon, much to the
surprise of the auditors, Mr.. Blackburn
launched into an effort on the issues OF
The hour. He was proceeding TO his own
entire satisfaction when he felt a Juggling
at his coat tails. CHANGING around he en-
countered the panied expression of tho
negro.
Say, Massa joe he whispered, dat
speech wot yuh made tub de jury was
bad huff to hang me, but dis yuh one
shaking his head sadly-"Mistuh Shelf,
alease pull dat rope"

The Averted Tragedy.

when my husband and were travel
ing In Italy last summer said the lady
in blue, whose suit case was covered with
foreign labels. II had an experience,
while it seems laughab!e now, nothing
on earth would induce me to repeat.
MY husband put me into an empty
compartment in one of those horrid con
tinental trains, ard went off 10 look for
our baggage. In some manner. while hur-
rying back, he got into the wrong COM
partment himself, the train pulled out,
and so he could not join me until the next
stop.
Just as the train started and | was in
a fever of worry as to what had become
of Harold, a most villainous looking fell
low got into my compartment. He seemed
all hair and flashing eyes. l felt uneasy
right away, and was not relieved by the
way he kept glazing at me in a highly
suspicious manner
"All af a sudden he took out a clasp
knife, opened it. and began to cut all the
curtain cords and TO knot them IN one
piece. l was almost frightened out of
senses. Ali the horrible stories had
ever read or heard about m.sadventures
with criminals in those nasty compart-
ment trains flashed into my head. l ex-
pected nothing better than to be stran-
gled on the spot, and began to beg the
~prigand-for / felt sure that he must be
one-to spare my life. He only laughed
a horrible, brutal l~augh-and jabbered
something in Italian, of which L did not
understand a word.
when he threw off his coat and waist
coat ! grew nearly frantic with fear, and
was almost ready to jump out of the win
dow, but just in time to save me from
dolng something rash he quietly took hold
of mis- broken suspenders and began to
mend them with the cord. Tnen he put
on his coat and vest again and sat down
in the corner and quietly went to sleep.
When my husband got IN at the next sta
ton, which was no great distance away,
he had his hands full to keep me from
going into a ft of Mysteries. After that
when he had baggage to check 1 went
along with him."

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Feb. Sth.-
Mr.. c. l.. Smith, painter and decorator.
whose home is at 300 Anne street, this
city, makes the following statement
II was laid UP with some kind OF
pains. Some said it was Lumbago, 9TH
ers Sciatica, and other again Rheuma-
iism. \ few of my friends suggested
that it was lead poison, but whatever
it was it gave me a great deal of pain,
in fact, almost completely crippled me.
| had to use two canes to walk about
and even then it was a very painful
task.
"A friend advised me to try Dodd's
Kidney Pills and l began the treat
ment. After l had used the first box
i was able to throw away II of the
canes and was considerably improved.
frhc second box Strengthened me up so
that | could go about free from pain
without any assistance and very soon
after | was completely cured, well and
happy. without a pain or an ache.

Pierre, s. D., Feb. 6.-The fate Of two
noted criminals was decided by the SUI
preme court. The first was the case OF
Etate VS.. Joseph II. Coleman from
Faux county. Coleman was last fall
convicted Of the murder of his brother.
Edward Il. Coleman and sentenced to q
hfe term In the p~enitentiary. His con
fiction was secured upon eyidence
lomewhat circumstantial in character
md some of the best legal talent in the
tate nave fought every step of his
Quincy TO the ~penitentiary, but with
tut avail. The theory advanced by the
prosecution was that he had killed his
brother In order TO secure $4,000 insur-
lnce on mis- brothers life, which was
aiken out in his favor. The defense
claimed ne shot himself, having become
respondent over heavy losses Of cattle.
h state proved, however, that the ball
entered his body from the rear at such
IN angle as to max 1t practically i'm
possible to have been fired by his own
lands. The circuit court found him
guilty of murder and sentenced him TO
ife Imprisonment. In n very exhaustive
opinion the supreme court today af-
irmed the decision of the lower court
md Coleman must serve his time.
The second case, that of state VS.. W..
?. Phillips, is q noted horse rustling
,ase. The defendant was convicted of
ltealing a young horse from the range
md sentenced TO q term in the state
penitentiary. His ounsel appealed the
tase on the ground that the court erred
in denying an application for a continu-
hnce. The supreme court today af-
hrmed the decision Of the lower court.
