says, IF you are not pleased with the
barber's work, tell the proprietor.

pie of times Il week and always get a
good shave except when | get into the
proprietor's chair. His razors are al

results bad. Now, should / tell the

told him he ought to be fired and his
chair given to a real barber? OF

A FRONTIER MARKSMAN.
Wild Bill Hiokok's Skill In Use Of the
Six Shooter.


Wild Bill Hickok was The first iron.
tiersman who recognized the impor-
tance of proficiency I'm the use e. the
six shooter. This was the real secret
of his supremacy. He was an unerring
marksman and shot as accurately un-
der fire as when firing at mark, ap-
parently taking no aim.
Probably no man has ever equaled
him In the llghtning-like rapidity with
which he could draw weapon in time
of emergency and in the thorough self
possession that made it possible for
him to take advantage of every oppor-
tunity in savage conflict. He had
standing order to his deputies that
they should not rush in on him in any
of his affrays and especially should
not come quickly up in the rear.
By forgetting this Il man named VII
liams met his death at Abilene. Hickoi
taking him for an enemy and firing so
rapidly that it left no opportunity for
recognition. He readily killed wild
goose across the Smoky Hill with his
revolver. Riding ut his horses highest
speed, he fired shot after shot into Il
tin can or post few rods distant.
Standing at one telegraph pole. he
would swing rapidly on his heel and
fire pistol ball into the next telegraph
pole. These were some of the simpler
feats he performed day after day on
the street TO settle little wagers. He
could shoot a hole through Il silver
dime at fifty PAGES and could drive the
cork through the neck of bottle at
thirty PAGES and knock out the bottom
without breaking the neck. He could
do what the fancy shots of the present
day do, and possibly some of them
equal him as marksman with a re-
volver, but it must be remembered that
he was the first to acquire the skill,
and the so called crack shots of his
day were poor limitations at best, al
though most of them boosted of their
fame
He shot just as well with others
shooting at him and at man as stead
lily as at any other target. There were
certain traits of his character, however,
that were almost womanly. He was
fond Of children, and they liked him.
He declined to quarrel with the peace
full settlers of the community, the busi-
ness men, on any provocation. There
was no foolhardy bravado about him.

A WAR OF MAPS.
Bolivia Wiped Out England and the
British Isles.

British Isles.
Bolivia is the only country that ever
wiped England off the map" said
Frank Robertson. at came about this
way: The British ambassador several
years ago gave dinner for the official
and social circle people of Bolivia.
"When they arrived at the embassy
they found that he was not married
to the woman seated at the head of the
table, and they left. In the name of
his government he demanded an apol-
ogy, whereupon the government gave
him twenty-four hours to get out of
the country.
"Inasmuch as little Bolivia is way
OFT the ocean and practically lost in
the eternal mountains Great Britain
could not by guns get the retraction
that she wanted, but her mapmak-
ers got revenge by issuing maps who'll
ly eliminating Bolivia.
"Finally this information reached Bo-
livia, whereupon with stroke of the
pen new maps were ordered for the Bo-
livian government and the Bolivian
schools. They showed more ocean
than any other maps ever printed. The
British isles had been sunk into the
sea. And so far as the people and
school children Of Bolivia are concern
ed there is no Great Britain. ."-Indian-

C0NJURED A TREATY.
How Houdn, the Magician, Awed the
Arabs Into Submission.

During the French conquest of AL
geria QS30-3) negotiations for peace
were entered upon with the sheiks Of
certain Arab tribes, and meeting for
the settlement of terms was arranged
to take place at the French headquar-
ters. The French officers received
their guests with great hospitality, and
after the banquet given in their honor
at which the utmost splendor was em-
ployed in order to dazzle their eyes
and captivate their simple minds, an
adjournment was made to large hall,
where NJ. Houdin, the celebrated con-
jurer, who had accompanied the French
forces, gave an exhibition of his skill
They stared in open mouthed wonder
at all the tricks that were performed,
and a feeling of awe crept over them
as they witnessed the mysterious ap-
pearance and disappearance of various
objects. But what appeared to them
most marvellous was the apparent
manufacture of cannon balls. NJ Hou-

fully, but without suspecting anything
unusual in either its make or its ap-
pearance. When the hat was returned
to him the conjurer placed 1t on the
floor in the middle Of the stage in full
view Of his audience. He then proceed
ed to take from the hat cannon balls
apparently without number and rolled
them across the floor into the wings.
With this the performance terminated.
The chiefs then consulted among
themselves and came to the conclusion
that it was useless to offer any opposi-
tion to an army that could turn OUT its
ammunition in so easy manner.
They therefore signed the required
treaty and departed to tell their friends
in the desert of the wonderful power
of the invaders.

Why Their Bones Are Found Near
Salt or Sulphur Springs.

SAT- or sulphur springs.
"Wherever you find salt or sulphur
springs" says gentleman connected
with the United States geological sur
vey, you may expect to find the bones
of mastodons and other huge creatures
that have now become extinct. Many
persons suppose that the presence of
these bones in great numbers indicates
that the animals had sort of common
cemetery, like the llamas of Chile.
which when they felt death coming on
always made for the nearest stream or
pond and, If they could get there, died
in the water
"That, however, is likely only a su-
perstition. The mastodon bones in
salt or sulphur marsh indicates that
the animals went there to drink the
water and occasionally one got mired
and was suffocated The great num-
bers of the bones do not prove that a
whole herd OF mastodons was drowned
at once. but that one being mired ev-
cry year or so during several centuries
would in time cause great accumuln-
tion OF bores. Missouri has bone
marsh at sulphur Springs; there is
great mine of them at the Salt Springs
in Kentucky and at several places in
Ohio and Indiana where there are
saline springs. A great spring in Flor
ida, one of the four or five huge out
lets which are grouped under the name
of Silver Spring, is called "the bone
yard" because the bottom and sides
are masses of mastodon bones."-StI
