Hard on Joseph.

Outside the photographers establish. ment in the little country town stood two figures-evidently father and son. At last they went in. --.s.-
 "Ot want yer to take picture of our Joseph ere, maister," said the fond parent, and Joseph was promptly placed in q chair and requested to compose his features for awhile
 The photographers speciality was quick developing, and soon several negatives lay before the purchaser.
 The father gazed uneasily at them for space and then said nervously:
 "YOu say in the window, maister, as low yer can touch up the pictures to give any effect agreeable to yer GUS toner's"
 "That is so," assented the artist readily. hastening to add, with his best professional smile, but In your sons case any retouching is absolutely un- necessary"
 "Ow, ayev said the father That be main like Joseph, but to tellee truth he's got to send un wi his testimonials for job, an I'd like yer to alter his photo to make him look honest liker'- London Mail.

SPORT IN THE MIDDLE AGES.
Hawking Then One of the Most Popu-
 lar Forms of Huntinu,

hawking Then One of the Most Popu-
 lar Forms of Hunting.
 Have you ever noticed a hawk soar ing and floating high up against the sky2 Have you seen him busy ap- parently in embroidering a wonderful pattern of loops and curves, putting in wing beat here and long float there, and then suddenly, without a moments warning, seem fairly to drop to the ground, pause a moment and then rise slowly and fly to some near by tree?
 The splendid flight was made with purpose. He was looking out for his prey and when he saw with his keen eyes some field mouse scamper- ing across field, or tiny bird cow ering in bush, or picking up meal among the grass, he fell from the sky, seized the little creature and took it of in his talons to eat 1t at leisure in some convenient tree.
 This method of pursuing his prey was taken advantage of in the middle ages and later times to provide for man one of his most popular forms of hunting The birds were chosen with greatest care, each kind was trained to hunt for his own particu- lar sort of prey, and great parties of lords and ladies, followed by many at tendants, rode out into the fields and marshes to "fly" their birds, as they called 1t, and watch them "strike their quarries."-N. Hudson Moore in St. Nicholas.

MAKING A BALLOON.
The Way It Is Patched, Varnished and
 Powdered.

The Way It Is Patched, Vanished and
 Powdered.
 A balloon consists of patches of cloth about yard square sewed secure ly together. This is not because of any difficulty in making the fabric of a globular shape, for that could easily be done if the pieces were shaped like the skin on the section of an apple
 The reason is that no absolutely re- liable fabric has yet been invented, and there is always the possibility of the balloon bursting. Should this hap pen to one of these patches, the escape of gas will not be dangerously rapid, as 1t would be if larger sections were used. .a ..r ..~ 5s
 When the balloon is made 1t is care fully vanished, three coats being giv- en, and each being allowed to dry thoroughly before the next Is applied. If one coat is left moist the fabric will be attacked by species of dry rot, which will make it as fragile as the paper this is printed on In the early days of ballooning many fatal accidents were due to this defect, but now the utmost care is exercised.
 When a balloon Is packed up for a journey, powdered chalk is sprinkled between the folds, as otherwise they would stick together and tear.-Pear. sons Weekly.

Not to Be Baked.

? A comparison made by an old car penters twenty years ago may be ap- piled in much wider sense than he had in mind. He was speaking of two boys, brothers, who had been sent to him to learn the trade. They were bright boys, and their father. in telling the carpenter of his pleasure at their progress in their work, said he could not see but one had done just as well as the other.
 Um-mv' said the carpenter. "I pre- sumA to say their work looks about of piece, but I'll tell you the difference betwixt those two boys. You give Ed just the right tools, and he'll do a real good job, but Cy, if he hasn't got what he needs, he'll make his own tools and say nothing about it.
 ''If I were cast on desert island and wanted a box opened, should know ther'd be no use asking Ed to do 1t without could point him out ham, mer. ~ <
 'But, CyT' added the old carpenter with snap of his fingers, "the lack Of hammer wouldn't stump that boy. He'd have something rigged up and that box opened if there was any open to 1t. expect Cy's going to march ahead of Ed all his life"
 Twenty years have proved the truth of the words, for while the boy who "'made his own tools" Is rich his broth CT is still an ordinary workman.

Disputes over debts must FIRST be sub-

The United States is opposing this

Farmer Killed by a Negro.

In the presence of his wife and daugh-
ter, Henry G. Motley, a prominen.
farmer of Franklin county, was shot to
death Saturday afternoon by George
Dudley, a young negro farm hand, about
twenty years of age. Dudley was arrest
ed yesterday in Henry county, and is
now in jail at Msrtinsville.
Henry Adams, young white man,
with whose pistol the negro is alleged to
have done the shooting, and by whom
Dudley was employed, is wanted on the
charge of being an accessory to the kill
ing.
The shooting occurred On Motley 5
large plantation, rear Dickensons, and
grew out of Motley ordering the negro
not to pass through his farm. Saturday,
Dudley started to drive through the
place and was intercepted by Motley,
who, it is alleged, went to his house
and came back with shotgun. Henry
Adams was also in the wagon with Dud-
ley. Motley was accompanied, upon
his return to the scene, by his wife and
young daughter. The quarrel was re-
newed and Dudley, drawing his pistol,
fred four times at Motley, who fell dead,
with bullet in his head and stomach.
He was also shot in the leg. Dudley
and Adams both fed after the shooting.
Dudley was captured at Chatmoss.
He offered no resistance and will prob
ably plead lfdefense. He declares
that the farmer was attempting to shoot
him, and that his daughter was in the
act OF hitting him with an axe when he
opened fire.
Motley was about fifty years Of age,
and highly esteemed. His friends were
enraged when they heard of the killing
and the negro would probably have been
lynched if he had been found by the
posse which secured Franklin county
Saturday night and Sunday.
