Roer Artillery Firing.

In his testimony regarding artli-
lery firing during the South African
war General Butler told the British
war commission ali interesting story.
He said: II think the foreign sys-
TEN of intercepting the recoil, which
has been adopted by the Beers, was
far superior to ours-that is to say,
q big Bocr gun would fire at an ex-
treme range q saw il happen my
telf) a shell, and that shell fell and
made a great hole in the ground.
A native got into the hole to see
how deep it was, and the next shell
that came went into the same hole
and killed him. | do not think we
had a gun that would put two shells
running ipto the same hole"

the subject Of Ducks and this i.
what he wrote: 1.-THE duck is a low
heavy-set girl, composed mostly OF
meat and feathers. He is might,
poor singer. having "A hoarse voic,
caused by getting too many frogs il

only two legs and they are set so faI
back on his running gears by natur,
that she came purity near missing hi
body. Some ducks when they get biz
have curls on their tails and are called
brakes. brakes don't have to set O

THOUGHT HAM HAUNTED.
Why Southern Negro Would No
Move the Meat.

Why Southern Negro Would Not
Move the Meat.
ut is often curious to observe the
play of superstition in the nature of
the black man." said writer in the
it is really astounding at times to note
the total ignorance of the law of cause
and effect which is to be found among
members of the black race. Recently
| had occasion to observe rather
striking instance Of the point l have in
mind. 1t was during hog killing time
out in my country home. Part of
hog had been left out on platform
and the thing have in mind happened
along late ip the evening, just as the
day was merging into darkness.
Now. it is a well-known fact that
the negro, in common with other peo-
pies who believe In ghosts, associate
these uncanny members with darkness.
One Of the negroes Of the place was
engaged in taking the meat from the
platform into the smokehouse, where
it was being sailed down. Now note
what happened. 1t is dusk. The
shadOwy part Of the day had set in.
1t was bordering OH ghost time. When
the negro was on his way to the plat
form to get the last piece Of meat
which had been left he noticed that
it was moving restessl y on the plat
form. Did he get it? Not much. He
md not get close enough to touch it.
He not only remained religiously away
from the piece of haunted meat, but
he refused positively to leave his
white friends. and when they pressed
him for an explanation of his con-
duct he told them just what the matter
was. Boss he said. seriously. dat
ham suttenly is ha'nted.'
Cf course, the trouble was soon
Strengthened out. There was cat I'M
der the platform. and the feline men,
Der was pulling away at the meat with
vigor. The white men explained to
the negro that there was no ghost, that
1t was nothing but cat that had been
hanging around all day. But note the
darky's skepticism: 'Mebbe so boss
he said, but l hasn't seed de cat"
