Hitting the Bulls Eye.

friends to a target painted on barn
door with a bullet hole exactly in the
center of the bulPs-eye
AS his friends were lneredulous he
offered to bet a dinner on the PROPOSE
ton. Upon the acceptance by one of
the friends Of the wager the chap with
the supposed bad shooting eye produced
witnesses whose yeracity could not be
questioned, and they testified that he
had, indeed, accomplished the feat. So
the bet was paid.
During the dinner the loser Of the
wager inquired how his friend had man.

When man buys dress shirt nova
days he can depend on the bosom be-
ing absolutely spotless, since, owing to
a new device that has been thought of,
the shirt is protected from the touch
of soiled fingers that so often were
wont to leave their mark on the fair
surface.
This new style of protection consists
Of an envelope Of transparent paper
that is large enough to hold the shirt,
keep it absolutely clean, and yet en-
abling one to see the size numbers
through it. Without adding much to
the cost, the envelope is a great econo-
my to the dealers and makers, since
with its use there is never any cause
for the return of shirts to the factory
that have been soiled in the handling,
as there is in the case of collars and

Henry Tweed had no frlenda. He
had never given human being his
confidence. While he had not quar-
relied with men, he had been m!sery
and hard hearted and exurt!ng Very
little could be said In hts favor and 4
great deal against him. One Of the
things remembered against him in his
own town was that Of dispOssessing q
man who had borrowed money Of him
and then failed through no fault Of his
own. He was i'll when Tweed ordered
the law to carry him out of the house.
He always claimed that he was right
in this. though he realized that all
others berated him for his finty heart.
After his death it was found that he
had made restitution. lie had left all
his property to the man who had call
ed him a Shylock and a scoundrel.
He had appointed as his executors
two men who had been most Outspo-

The will was found. admitted to pro-
bate, and the executors began their
work. The heir had almost been put
into possession when man claiming
to be a cousin of Tweed appeared and

There was once {: man whose name

study and activity. lie was sent to
school, where he soon surpassed his
masters, while in athletic sports a1Al
feats of daring no one could cope
with him.
When Chlacas was seventeen years
I old a neighborng king invaded the
aominions of his sovereign, and the
boy enlisted in the army. At the first
| battle he rallied his legion (or reyi-
ment, as we call it now, it having

rose rapidly in the military service

drove back the invader. He was ac
corded a triumph, receiving the thanks
OF his sovereign and his countrymen.
Unrest seemed to drive him on

march against one of the neighboring

days had annexed the territory to his
own country. From this starting point
he proceeded with other conquests till
he had subjugated every land of tue
continent on which he lived, and. to-
| gether they formed IN empire. -
| When there were no more conquests
for Chlacas he was made prime min
lister and as lawgiver proved himself
as great as soldier. His king died
childless,. and, the legal heir to the
throne being a weakling, the people
demanded that Chlacas assume the
crown. He deferred to the unanimous
call, and the government was made
| perpetual in him and his family.
Up to that time Chlacas was the
greatest man that had ever lived. He
was initiated later by Caesar. who was
both general and lawgiver, and in the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
A. D. by Napoleon Bonaparte. But,
unlike either of these men, he was not
ambitious for himself. He loved his
people, and Ills only wish was to make
them great and prosperous. This he
achieved. From petty kingdom with
no markets for their products except
within their own borders he made them
an empire, with the neighboring ma
lions tributary tothem, and forced pur-
chasers Of what they produced All
he desired from them was their graft

The Canadian Boundary

The boundary line between Canada
and the United States is marked with
posts at mile intervals for great part
of it's length. Cairns, earth mounds
and timber posts are also used, and
through the forests and swamps a line
a rod wide clear of trees and under
wood has been cut. Across the lakes
artificial islands support the cairns,
which rise about eight feet above the
high water mark-Pearson's Weekly.

different men as executors. The law
says that the last will stands. This
will upset the other. but 1t did not
stand for long. A woman who easily
proved that she was cousin came on
from distant state and exhibited
letter and will making her the sole
legatee. This was dated two weeks
later than the second. 1t was perfect
~ legal, and again there was a change
of executors. Things had scarcely be-
gun moving under the new will when
food of relatives appeared. There
were uncles and aunts and cousins ga

1t transpired that one lawyer had
drawn up all the Wills as a sort Of job
lot. There We're fourteen Of them in

sale rate. Each one down to the last
had later date than the other and
named different executors. Not one of
the relatives had known Tweed in life
or cared about him in The slightest,
and he stated to the lawyer that he
wanted revenge on the whole crowd.
There was bitter feeling among the
heirs and much loud talk about law
suits to break the will, but the final
legatee agreed to give each one GER
tain sum and thus brought about
peace. In due time he entered into

fishing columns about the eccentric
Henry Tweed, and people who knew

when there was new development. A
lawyer who had not before been men

witnessed reading that the last and
true will had been concealed and that
1t named different legatee from any
of the others. Whoever was in pos.
session when this paper was presented
should remain so until the will men
toned should be found.
All the old excitement was at once
revived. The heirs under the other
wills returned and began searching,
and at one time over 100 persons were
hunting in every likely spot for the
paper. The man in possession had the
house taken to pieces and every inch
