The Amateur Gunner.

'Tis now the hunter takes a gun
Into the marshy waste.
In quest Of provender and fun
He goes with eager haste.
He wades knee deep in clinging mud
Where microbes gayly float,
Or braves the slow meandering flood
In an uncertain boat.
And when his homeward trip is made
He has a bunch that's nice,
For which he learns that he has paid
Three times the market price.

Beau Erummel and His Boots.

In the "Reminiscences and Recol-
lections Of Captain Grownow," who
was himself a famous dandy, occurs
the following anecdote of Beau
Brummel, the time being 1915: The
dandy's dress consisted of a blue
coat, with brass buttons, leather
breeches and top boots, and it was
the fashion to wear a deep, stiff,
white cravat, which prevented you
from seeing your boots while stand
ing. AL the world watched Brum-
mel to initiate him and order their
clothes of the tradesman who
dressed that sublime dandy. One
day a youthful beau approached
Brummel and said:
Permit me to ask you where you
get your blacking?"
"Ah," replied Brummel, gazing
co%mplacently at his boots, "my
backing positively ruins me. | viii
tell you in confidence. 1t is made
with the finest champagne"

TeIearaphY In China.

The first telegraph line vas open
ed in China in 1872, and there are
now about $4,000 miles of line, the
whole under imperial control. The
Chinese language being syllable and
not alphabetic, many may wonder
how a message is transmitted. The
method is simple, but ingenious.
There are as many characters as
words in the Chinese language, and
the messages are sent in number
cipher. When the numbers are re-
ceived at the other end a double
ended type is used with numbers at
one end and characters at the re-
verse. A message is set up by the
numbers and then printed from the
reverse end, which shows the char
acters.-London Globe.

The REGISTER of the Voice.

The register of the voice is some.
times COMPOUNDED with the range.
There r two registers to the voice,
whatever its quality. These are
termed the register of the chest
and the register of the head. The
chest notes are given in full, even
tones and with the natural voice.
The tones may be either open or
closed. They are given from the
chest and the back of the nose.
Head tones come from the bridge
of the nose and if unframed are apt
to develop an unpleasant shrillpess.
In a trained voice it is impossible to
detect where the chest register
ends. -New York World.

Why He Hurried.

a lower Broadway business man
summoned his diminutive office boy
the other day, instructing him to
proceed to a nearby establishment.
Find out the lowest price at
which they can give me a cinemato-

"a what" the youngster asked,
a bit dazed.
"Cinematograph," repeated his
employer. "But you needn't go for
an hour. | want you for something
else just now"
The boy dashed out and in five
minutes was back with the needed
information.
Il thought l told you not to 60

"Hully gee" the boy exclaimed.

long, and if I forgot it I might
lose me job."-New York Globe.

A FAMOUS DEBATE.
How Lincoln Forced Douglas Into the
Open at Freeport.

One of the most interesting sto-
ries of all American history-that
of the forensic contest between
Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A..
Douglas in Illinois fifty years ago
is told in the Century by Frederick
Trevor Hill. In the following ex-
tract he describes the meeting and
the audience at F%reeport:
In this part of the state Gree
port) Lincoln was almost a stranger,
and his uncouth appearance and
slouchy bearing were not offset by
any direct knowledge of his pro-
fessional attainments. On this oc-
c~asion, however, he speedily dis
PEELED all doubts of his ability by
advancing boldly to the attack. Re-
minding his auditors that Douglas
had seen fit to cross examine him at
their last meeting, he announced
that he vas prepared to answer the
seven questions which had been put
to him provided his adversary would
reply to questions from him not ex-
ceeding the same number. 81 give
him an opportunity to respond" he
announced and, turning to Doug
las, paused for his reply.
In an instant the vast audience
was hushed. Even the takers and
vendors at the outskirts of the
crowd ceased plying their trades
and strove to catch a glimpse of the
platform. 1t was a dramatic mo-
ment and an unequaled opportunity
for Douglas. But he merely shook
his head and smiled. "The Judge
remains SILENT" continued Lincoln.
81 now say that | will answer his
heterogeneous whether he answers
mine or not"
No more effective challenge was
ever uttered, and the audience,
quick to recognize its courage and
fairness, responded in a fashion that
must have disconnected and nettled
Llncoln'S cautious adversary. Ger
tainly Douglas was in no amiable
mood when he rose to make reply,
and the interruptions of the audi
ence speedily worked him into a
passion. Again and again he as
sailed his hearers as 'black Repub-
licans," characterizing their ques-
tions as vulgar and BLACKBOARD in
terruptions, shaking his fist in their
faces and defying them as a mob.
More than one Mr.. Turner, the Re-
publican moderator, was drawn into
the fray by the speakers aggressive
tactics, and the whole meeting was
occasionally on the verge of tumult,
Lincoln's closing address,, however,
had a calming effect, and when his
time expired the audience quietly
dispersed to spread the news
throughout the countryside that
this unknown lawyer was actually
mountaineering his distinguished
adversary and forcing him into the
open, beyond reach of cover or pos
sibility of retreat.

Never Aaain.

1t was a pitiful mistake, an error
sad and grim. | waited for the
railway train. The light was low and
dim. 1t came at last, and from a
a there stepped a dainty dame,
and, looking up and down the place.
she straight unto me came. ooh.
jack" she cried, "oh, dear old
Jack" and kissed me as she spake.
then looked again and, frightened,
cried, ooh, what a bad mistake, :"
l said, "Forgive me, maiden fair,
for | am not your Jack, and as re-
CARDS the kiss you gave, I'll
straightway give it back" And
since that night I've often stood
upon that platform dim, but only
once in a mans whole life do such
things come to him.

Wise Tommy.

Tommy was a very sound sleeper
and wouldn't get out of bed earlier
than 10 o'clock, no matter what his
mother said to him. So one morn
ing she tried coaxing and said to
him:
"9ou have heard of the little boy
who got up at 6 o'clock in the
morning and when he went out he
found a purse of gold?"
ooh, yes" said Tommy, 'but
what about the little boy who got
up before him and went out and
lost it?"
