Probably the most respected citi-

tricts is old Shackelford, who lives at
the head OF Poor Fork creek, in Per
~ county. ShackelfOrd is getting old
nOw-he must be about 20, but there
is no adventurous, fire-eating youth
who cares to try conclusions with
him Too many have attempted that
and died. He has a record OF thirty
eight killings" TO his credit, a rec
ord that no western desperate from
Las Vegas to the Canadian line has
ever equaled. He has been shot from
ambush, but he has survived his
wounds, although this much cannot
be said OF the man that shot first His
neighbors stand in awe OF him. and
ne is said to bear a charmed life. His
cabin is decorated with coon skins,
and over the front door is nailed the
skin Of the biggest rattlesnake ever
killed IN the Kentucky mountains
Sheckelford's most dreaded antagonist
in a fight was his wife, and he killed
her several years ago in a domestic
brawl. The militant old lady was Civ
en- an imposing resting place. She
was buried on the top Of Harlan Peak
and her grave was dug eight feet
deep. Shackekord has directed that
he be buried just above her when he

A teacher in one Of the primary
schools Of New York recently read to
her pupils 'The Old Oaken Bucket" "
After explaining the song to them
very carefully, she asked the class
to copy the first stanza from the
blackboard where she had written it,
and try to illustrate the verse by
drawings in the same way a story is
illustrated.
In short while one little girl
handed up her slate with several lit
tie dots between two lines, a circle,
half a dozen dots, and three buckets.
Il do not quite understand this,

What is that circle2'
"Oh, that's the we'll" Nanny re-

And why do you have three buck

"One," answered the child, els the

WasGefuI in an EIstorF.
From President Eeighley's Addres
IN Mines and Minerals for February;
The American nation VIII go down IN
history as the most extraTagant na-
ton that ever existed 1t commenced
by exterminating the Indian. IT next
turned attention 70 the forests. and
has almost eliminated them These
things were serious, but they were
not beyond repair The career We have
launched on now is resulting IN some
thing than can never be repaired We
are skimmfng the cream OF the min
eraI riches with which this land has
been so endowed in our haste to get
rich We are destroying at least so
per cent OF everything in the mineral
line we lay our hands on. Nothing
but the richest gold mines are worth
looking at; the same thing applies to
all the mines OF precious minerals
and precious stones When we come
to our iron deposits nothing but the
richest OF the ores are shipped away;
the leaner ore is wasted, much OF it
destroyed forever.
