HOW HE MISSED A BEAT.
A Reporter Tells an Interesting Story
About Henry Ward Beecher.

Not long ago the writer, while ex-
changing experiences with we'll
known Brooklyn newspaper man,
heard very interesting story in con-
nection with the last illness of the
famous pastor of Plymouth Church,
Henry Ward Beecher.
Il had a regular assignment" be-
gan my friend, "to cover the Friday
night prayer meetings at Plymouth
Church. They were of more than
ordinary interest and many a good
story l got for my paper.
"On the particular Friday in ques-
tion. several men were sick or off
or something, big story broke loose
In the Eastern District and the city
editor told me that he guessed I'd
have to let the Plymouth. prayer
meeting go and take the assignment
referred to.
"Well, l took it, and by doing so
missed the chance to score beat for
my paper that should have added at
least $40 per- to my salary.
That night Mr.. Beecher did not
appear at the prayer meeting, it be-
ing announced that he was i'll. Now
there were reporters there, but they
failed to grasp the Importance of this
information and it was passed by
practically unnoticed.
las a matter of fact the great
preacher had a paralytic stroke and
1t was not till late the following night
that an outside newspaper man
picked up the information, hustled
himself into a cab and hurried to
the office of one of the big New York
papers and sold his story, the paper
in question scoring a clean beat.
Mr.. Beecher never again left his
bed. 1t seemed to be the working of
fate that 1 should cover that prayer
meeting month after month without
missing a session, and then wind up
by being beaten by an outside re-
porter.
This simply goes to show that It
is a very risky thing to leave an as
signment uncovered. Since | have
given up the reporting act myself TO
direct the work of others, | always
keep in mind the chance | had for a
big scoop and lost it.
Il could name other instances that
have come under my observation, but
they are of minor Importance. 1t is
not safe thing, however, to pass up
assignments because they do not look
promising. We can never tell what
Is going to break loose In department
work, and the only safe thing to do
Is to be always on the spot"

THE MIDDLE AGED MAN.
He Laments the Decay of the Old
Time Chopping Knife and Bowl.

1T rejoices me, mildly" said the
middle aged man, Ito hear, as / do
still. coming from a house in the
nelghborhood where l dwell, the
sound of a chopping knife in a bowl
IT these days so many things are
done by machinery. Even in the
household so many things that once
we pored over with patient and low
ing care we do now without
thought except of the work involved,
by the aid of mechanical appliances.
I'VE make hash now in q machine.
We put the ingredients into a recep-
tacle attached and turn a crank mo-
nOtonously, and there Is the hash.
What a descent is this from the old
time ways!
The scrupulously clean chopplng
bowl and the equally trim knife. The
materials, good materials, prepared
with care, and placed with care in
the bowl; something worth the added
work that Is now to be bestowed up
on it.
''The muffied sound of the knife,
at hrst, as IL rails in the heaped up
mound; its clear really musical ring
later, when 1t strikes with regular
strokes on the wood The momen-
tary intervals, when the good house
wife, with the fiat of the knife, is
sweeping the now somewhat spread
out chopped up material together
again, and then more regular chop
ping; with little chops now and then
on the side, giving finishing touches
to little capes or promontorles that
may 1ut out from the centre, here
and there around.
Musical sounds all, telling of pro-
per and patient and loving care and
labor And the hash
Alas! for the hash of the days Of
old. Hail, and farewell TO the van
ishtng chopping knife and bowll"--

that, following the custom of the
period, due allowance had been made
for the sum to which Phipps was sup
posed to have helped himself AS to
the King, he was certainly had" in
proper fashion. II only 10000 ac-
crued to him as his share, but the
writer to whom the story is due wrote
before the facts were fully known.
That his Britannia Majesty was fully
satisfied with the results of the expe-
dition is apparent from the honors
which we're subsequently bestowed
upon young Phipps. The King made
him a knight and presently Governor
OF the New England colonies, which
are said never to have had a better
down to the time they found It more
fitting to govern themselves without
the benevolent aid of the Defender of
the Faith.
The foregoing shows the openings
In store now for the successful search
ers OF buried or sunken treasures.
Certain II Is that the chances of sue
cess are far greater to-day than they
were then, thanks to the mechanical
appliances which can be profitably
utilized nowadays as contrasted with
the crude methods of 200 years ago.
However, the Duke of Argyll appears
to have had less success with the
treasure hunting operations on his es-
tate at Tobermory than the other
peer who so profltably patronized
young Phipps. 1t is announced that
the divers employed by the Scottish
Duke have suspended the operations
for the season, but are confident that
next year they will raise from the
deep the treasures carried by the
Spanish galleon Duque de FlorencIa.

Rihe-Shooting.

1t il not only the muscles of the
arm which are tested by properly or
ganized ri6e-shooting. 1t supplies
an excellent exercise for the chest
and lungs. One of the first things
the young rife-shot has to learn is
how to take deep breath, to fill the
lungs with air, and then to hold the
breath while the rife is kept abso-
lutely steady and the finger is grad
ually tightening on the trigger. A
glance at any successful rife-shot
Will show you man with a deep
chest and full powers of breathing.
ANY form of recreation which
trains the muscles Of the arm and
exercises the chest and lungs would
seem likely to be beneficial to health:
but II that is not enough, there liz
the unequalled training which rifle
shooting gives to the eye and to tho
hand working with the eye. The
writer remembers hearing mus.
kerry instructor boast that he had
heightened not only his own sight,
but the sight of scores of boys whom
he had taught how to use their eyes
In aiming at target. by two or three
hundred yards, simply by continued
practice at long-distance shooting.
1t Is astonishing what results can be
obtained in this way by placing a
rifle on a sandbag raised on a tripod
and making the pupil aim as accur-
ately as he can at any distant OBJ
ject. The eye can be trained, of
course, equally well, though the
sight will not necessarily be length
ened. by aiming at objects close at
hand.-London Spectator.

Charles j. Glidden, the ''globe grid
ling" automobilist, wrote to some
Boston friends as follows concerning
his impressions of the first part of his
journey from Boston to Mexico by
road and railroad tracks: six years
ago l drove over the road from Bos-
ton to New York, and considerable
improvement was noticed on this trip,
but on the average the road can be
considered only fair. in comparison
with the good roads around Boston
and the excellent roads of France.
Closed roads necessltated detours in
Connecticut, increasing the distance
twenty miles. and the roads we were
obliged to take were wretched The
trouble and expense we have been put
to in arranging for our permits and
numbers for New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland give the impress
sion that we are not In united coun-
try, but driving through small coun-
tries in Europe. Special numbers. I
am informed, are not required in
other States. Motoring can be made
ideal between New York and Boston
by improving the roads In Connecti-
cut and Massachusetts, east of Palmer
and south of Springfield to the State
line. New York Sun.

UNARMED. KILLS A WILDCAT.

Unarmed and all alone, Thomas
Dyke, a prominent young man of Mt.
Carmel Pa, was attacked by a wild
cat on the Locust Mountain.
Dyke had driven TO Ashland, and
when he had come two miles toward
home his horse tramped on nail
and was placed in a stable. He then
decided to walk home, and was on
the top Of the mountain when the
cries of a wildcat caused his hair to
raise. Crouched on the side of the
road, not ten feet from him, was the
cat.
The animal finally sprang at him,
but he jumped aside, and as the body
OF the cat struck the road he jumped
ON II.
For several minutes the fight be-
tween the wild beast and the man
went on, when, by quick swing, the
man broke the animals back. The
balance of his journey home was un-
eventful. A physician dressed sew
eral deep scratches on his face and
hands. Philadelphia Record.

vania town, one of the jurors, after
the ussal swearing In, arose and with
much dignity protested against SER
vice, alleging that he was the general
manager of an important concern
and was wasting valuable time by sit
ting as juror at an inquest.
The coroner, turning to his clerk.
said; "Mr. Morgan. kindly hand me

Then, after consulting the book. the
coroner observed to the unwilling
juror:

In view of the many precious les

to be characterized by a kind of sol
emn merriment. Let our "a Merry
Christmas to You" be charged with
conceptions Of the profound signifi
cance of the day. The early church
seized upon many a heather festival
and stamped it with ecclesiastical
authority, seeking thus to make easy
the crossing over from paganism to
Christianity. So Christmas came to
have, among our far-back ancestors,
the boar's head feast and the drinking
bouts of Scandinavia and Germany.
Let there be festivity, but let there
be also songs of gratitude, and the
bestowment of gifts to the needy in
remembrance Of Gods mlspeakable
Gift to US.

satisfaction IS not. Being contented is
accepting ones present assigned place

to be contented for the moment, but
not to be satisfied for all time to
