ACCIDENTAL SHOT WAS FATAL.
Charlie Holbr Ooks, Nine Lears Old,
Died Within Ten Minutes.

Last Wednesday just as we went to
press we had information that a child
had been accidentally shot ct the
nome OF its parents a short distance
above Walhalla, but the facts obtain
able were very meagre at that time.
Charlie Holbrooks, the unfortunate
child who lost his life, was 9 years of
age and his brother, who shot him
accidentally, is only two years older.
The parents of the children, Mr.. and
Mrs. Porter Holbrooks, had left them
to take care of the house while they
came to Walhalla on business, and
Mr.. Holbrooks left his wife here and
went on to West Union. 1t was less
than an hour after they came to Wal
halla that they received word Of the
fatal accident. The older child, see
ing gun hanging on the wall, climb
ed on chair to take it down, and It
is supposed that the gun was in some
way accidentally discharged then or
little later. David. the child who
mad the gun in his hands, has never
been a. lie to tell an entirely straight
story Of the accident, but we are in
formed that he yesterday admitted
that the gun was in his hands when
it was discharged, though at first he
was so badly frightened that little
could be gotten from his statements.
The unfortunate little fellow who
was shot died about ten minutes
later. Mrs. Johnson, a near neigh
bor, heard the shot and screaming at
the Holbrooks house and ran over to
see what the trouble was, and the lit
tie fellow died few minutes later.
MIR. and Mrs. Holbrooks have the
sympathy Of their friends in their
sorrow. The body of Charlie Hol-
brooks was buried at the Phillips
burying gro"nd, on Long creek,
Thursday evening. There is no other
theory advanced than that the two
boys were playing when the gun was
accidentally discharged with fatal re-
suits.
Coroner Kerr empanelled n jury of
inquest, and an official inquiry into
the facts Of the case was begun, but
the facts obtainable were SO meagre
that the deliberations of the jury
were continued. Another session of
the jury Of inquest will be held at
the scene of the supposed accident
next Saturday. The fatal shot took
effect in the child's body slightly to
the left of the righC nipple, exposing
the lungs, ranging downward and
penetrating through the body on the
left side few inches above he hip.

ACTOR WAS BOWED WITH GRIEF.
But Not Altogether Because of the
 Death of His Wife.

A certain well-known actor vas curiously enough-very much attached to his wife. She died. after a finger ing illness, and the poor old Thespian was all broken up about it. One night a friend went to the actors dressing room and found him in tears. He was making up and having hard time of it.
 Excuse me. old chap he muttered. brokenly. This is weakness, of course, but I was just thinking of my wife. I'll never get this makeup on right-the tears spoil it as fast as I put it on. Ycu see my wife was my pal-always at my side always sym pathetic. I can't get used to her ab. sence.
 Why, when she knew she was dy. ing. she said to me, I want you to put your photograph in the coffin with me. Promise! l promised, of course. That's what I was thinking of when you came in. I had no photographs left. at the time. but l had some taken on purpose. Oh, dear, oh dear!-

WILL NOT BE CALLED GRANDMA
Writer Explains, Somewhat Venom ously, Why Women Dislike Word.

"The word grandma is dying oct" said Photographer, or maker of die tionaries, pausing in his labor on the letter c. By 2000, at this rate, no such word will exist
 What will take it's placer"
 "Oh, mamie, mans, loveloeks, 'dearest'-some such rubb sh. You see" explained the Photographer, women think that they have learned to slave off old age. A woman of 50. because she has dyed hair, painted face, figure here distended and there cramped, thinks that she looks young. As matter of fact, she looks neither fish, flesh nor. fowl. No man can bear the sight of her. But she thinks she locks young, and, therefore, she won't be called grandma. Youth is over for good, you know-beyond perad- venture we are done with the long. long dreams of youth-when little one is lisping grandma or grandpa at our knee. So this old fool trains her grandchildren to call her mans or kitten, and getting into her wadded street gown, she trips on rheumatic feet to the beauty parlor for face-steaming. New York Press.

Human Eirefljes.

Purveyors of Chinese inceuse sticks may rejoice in the fad which has de veloped over on Riverside drive. says the New York Press. It is the fashion for the young people who throng along the park wall and saunter up and down from the Schwab mans on to Grants tomb to carry a handful of burning joss sticks. These they wave gently back and forth the glowing red tips rivaling the fairy lamps of the fireHies. which sparkle among the trees. Groups of merry girls thus il lumine the night and the soft sum mer air is perfumed with this rich oriental odor The fad started. of course. out of a crusade against the mosquitoes. which at times frequent the park. But now the mos 1uito is mot cons dered The girls carry the jess sticks because the sparkling ta pers add to the pioturesGueness of the scene and because it has become a fad

PERIOD OF REST PROCLAIMED.
Absence of Light Regulates the Hours
 of Slumber.

If it were always daytime, We should never sleep. So says a scientist, ac- cording to Answers. There is no par ticular reason why we, or any other animals, should rest, on an average, eight or nine hours a day
 The period of rest has been deter mined by the fact that eight hours is the average time when there is a lack of sufficien light to enable us to move about in comfort
 This most fundamental distinction between night and day is wholly rela- tive to the sense of sight It only affects those types of life which have developed eyes.
 Plants being dependent for their growth upon the action of rays of sun light which fall upon their leaves, have wide distinction between day and night functions.
 They eat and digest in the light, and grow during the hours of dark ness.
 The lowest forms of animal life the sightless denizens of ocean depths do not rest at regular intervals. They prowl around necessarily seek ing prey by the sense of touch alone. When they rest, it is at irregular pc riods. In other words, they have no distinct periodicity of their own
 But as soon as eyes are developed. and in proportion to this development, animals begin to divide their time into two main portionsa waking and a sleeping time. While there is light they perform all motive functions, When darkness comes they retire to nest or lair to rest

MADE THE PASSENGERS SMILE.
Absent-Mindsd Mar clings to Strap.
 Though Seats Were Vacant

lean passenger with newspaper climbed aboard a car, looking as pre- occupied as a man who is trying to think where he put the receipt for that bill that the mans dunning him for over again.
 He hitched himself up to a strap, put his paper in front of his face and started to peruse the news of busy and vexatious world without saying "nethin to nobody" He did not even look around
 By and by he had skinned through the tidings chronicled in the paper and he showed the sheet into his overcoat pocket.
 Then he made a discovery. The dis coyery was as follows, viz: There were only eight other passengers on the car Of course there were plenty of seats and had been ever since he got on He looked sort of foolish when he noticed that everybody was smiling quietly about something. You see it looked funny to see a man wearily holding on to strap when there were seats to be had at the same price as s. R. O. space.

ARE MASTERS OF EvAslVENEss
6edouin's Answer Typical of the Peo.
 pie of the East.

In the far east when men converse together an evasion is equal to an answer. Riding down to Egypt over the old caravan route from Jerusalem to Cairo, Norman Duncan and a party pitched their tents outside a Bedouin village and by so doing offended against the laws of hospitality which the people so reli Siously maintain. MT. Duncan, writing in Harper's Mag azine, says that he was obliged to turn aside their reproaehes-and avoid the abominable quarters which were still being offered. Turning to his guide, he said: The man must be diverted. Ask him if the world is round or flat" The reply was a pure philoso- pher's jewel of the east. If the world is fiat" came the response. after heavy pondering, T am content: if it is round, it is by Gods wisaom.' And the men softly applauded, in their pleasure forgetting thelr injury, for getting everything except the joyous native craft of words.

The Inquisitive Man.


 Wet paint as a test of human curlos. ity has a rival in the chewing gum slot The apparatus at the One Hun. dred and Tenth street subway station was out of order the other morning The first person to discover the fact was a small boy with a yearning for gum. He confidently dropped penny in the slot, but the toothsome wafer held coyly back Repeated thumpings and shakings failed to induce it to ap. pear. and the boy, looking disconso late, was finally persuaded by his mother to go downtown. without it. A dozen or more persons had witnessed his futile attempt to coax out a piece of gum, but they were in no wise de tered from following his example Evidently each thought his prede 'cessor had not manipulated the ma chine properly. and that he could dc better. for before the next express train came along five men who appar- ently had never known what chewing gum tasted like had sacrificed pen nies on the altar of their curiosity New York Times.
