DANGEROUS TOYS.
Air Guns Are Poor PIaythinqs for
Small Boys.

one Of the things that parents in
this town as we'll as elsewhere should
keep i'm mind as Il dangerous thing to
do. is to buy their young sons air rifles
or other "semi-toy" shooting appara-
tuS. Although it is doubtless great
sport for Il young lad to pace stealthily
up ana down the back yard with an
air gun in this the hunting season of
the year ana make believe he is up
around Mt. Katahdin or the Moosehead
lake region. it should be borne in nina
that there is not any great likelihood
of his shooting any bigger game than
some of his little playmates.
An example of this sort of thing took
place on the East side only the other
day, when Il young boy shot his brother
in the eye with an arrow. ana it is the
greatest wonder in the world that the
sight was not destroyed
The first impulse of 90 BOYS in 100
after he gets an air gun or some kim
dred shooting machine is to make
believe" shoot someone, and quite fire.
qucntly h" presses the trigger little
! harder than he meant to. and then
he's done something NOR, than make
believe"
The Journal man has noticed quite
few of these juvenile huntsmen in his
trips about the thicllly settled parts of
thu city, and he has not yet encoun-
tered any dangerous animals that pub
lie safety demands should be anni-
inflated by 10 or 12-year-old bov
with an air gun. It's bad enough for
full grown mon tn hlnIy onob al how,
heads on, as they do now and them
even When they are away back in the
llinber' ana its a blamed sight worse
10 let a boy go fooling around the
street with these toy guns
Better put the money in his little
tin bank with which to buy farm or
a gold brick when he gets grown up
than to buy guns.

Ky an accident which happened at
HalloWell. Saturday evening, the ar
rival of the steamer Gardiner was de-
layed until nearly O'Clock. The acct
dent happened just as the steamer was
leaving the wharf at HalloweIl. on her
way 70 Augusta, and was due to the
parting of the wheel rope. The steamer
was stopped and backed in to the wharf
again and an examination and the
necessary repairs We're made. Capt
WcGtfnan was not decided, Saturday
night. as to the cause of the rope part
ing. The rope passes up through the
baggage room on its way to the pilot
house and while it was thought posi-
bic that ii may have been cut in con-
tact with the sharp edge of a trunk
from the fact that the rope was cut
off. it aroused a suspicion that the job
might have been done with knife.

PEOPLE at the Maine Central station
were amused. Saturday afternoon. by
The antics Of a baIky horse on Winth-
rop hill. There was no apparent raa-
son for the animals refusal to do what
WIS expected of him, as he was hitched
70 hght road cart, and had but little
more than his own weight to pull up
the hill, but for all that he had evident
ly decided not to go until he was ready.
me llrst manifestation of his contrary
min6edness became apparent when he
was crossing the railroad track. when
he stopped directly in the middle OF
the crossing. covering both the east
ana west tracks. The shifting engine
with some cars was coming down the
line. and there was a freight train
shiftlnE in the upper yard, so that for
few moments it looked as if there
would be holdup on the railroad if
the horse did not move. Those who
were watching the horse We're wonder
ing how the affair was coming out
when one Of the men with the horse
took handful of earth and threw it
IN MS mouth. This acted like charm
and the animal at once started up the

feet was to distract the attention of
the horse from the contrary feeling
which possessed him. The relief was
only temporary. how ever. for he had
gone but few rods when he again
baked. The remedy was once more
applied. with the same result. and WAS
repeated several times before the
horse reached the top Of the hill. ami
passed from view. What happened af-
ter that is not known, but it was

\ paragraph which appeared iii the
Saturday iSsu" Of the Journal, WAS the
means of stirring up a spirited discus
sion among the sport Sncn at the State

When the two men referred to read
the paragraph above quoted, they did
not 50" it in TIA" light that it was a
plain statement of the fact that a gun
had thrown four shot through a piece
of paper across the river ut AN cSti-
mated distance Of from l25 to $50
yards from where the man behind the
gun WAS located but thought the state
mcnt reflected in som" way upon their
shooting, rs recorded upon the roll Of

Their shooting WAS done at Il dis
tanCc Of 40 Yards from the target. with

shot. and they succeeded in putting -
per cent. OF the shot into the target.
| And when they read that someone had
| put four shot through Il piece of paper
| at over three times the distance at
which they shot. they became skeptical
| at once hence tn" discussion.
That such shot as the one referred

ed To the reporter that he had. with

distance of 100 yards and other birds

was. Ill measur". Il chance shot,
where some bone was broken. or where

fact remains. And it is thought that

RAILROAD YARNS
Spun by Some of the Old-timers in the
Business.

One often hears interesting warns.
about the early days of railroading in
this vicinity. A railroad man tells the
story of an Augusta man who is well
known in the city at the present time
who was at one time employed in the
Maine Central car shops in this city.
In those days the locomotives We're so
constructed that when there was no
steam in the boiler water could be
turned into the boiler through the cap
of the safety valve. One day dead"
engine-that is. one without steam up
WAS in the shops, when the foreman
told the man in question to fill up the
boiler from the hose, and went away
to some other part of the shop. Before
long he heard water running all over
the shop and thought there must be
something serious the matter with the
water supply about the building
Imagine his surprise when he came
to the engine and found the worthy
whom he had instructed to fill the
boiler manfully playing the hose into
the fire box. The water was runnin.
out of the bottom of the fire box
enough to run Il saw mill, but this did
not jar the man with the hose a biz:
he stood his ground just the same. and
II the foreman had not rushed up and
called him everything but a wise man.
the man would probably have con-
tlnued at his post for an indefinite
period.
Another good story is told of the late
John Ellis. who was for many years
the master mechanic of the Maine Cen
trail system. When Mr.. Ellis first be-
gan railroading he WAS employed at
the shops i'm this city and one day
alter he had been employed in the
shops a few days he was instructed
To build Il fire in the furnace of one of
the engines. Instead of fixing some
waste on the end of a stick and ignjt-
ing it and fnen reaching down and
touching fire to the oily waste and
k'ndllnS wood placed at the bottom OF
the furnace. Mr. Ellis thought he would
jump down in and touch it off. He
got down all right and touched off the
ire all right but when he came TO
climb out-that was different matter
and before he knew it he was pinned
up against the nues with the fire in
creasing about him every minute and
In imminent danger of being roasted

be heard all right and men soon res
cued him from his precarious position,

Mr.. Ellis, a good wetting down with
the hose
1t was Il close call for Mr.. Ellis. but
IL was not without its ludcrOus aspect.
and Mr.. Ellis often related the incr-
dent in after years when he rose to one
or the highest positions in the com.
pany, rs showing that his first experi-
ehces in railroading We're not the most
suspicious things imaginable.
