,1E PAoLoCKEp REVOLVER.
Novel Sight for a Man Unsccustomcd
to Shooting Galleries.

Maybe IL was because | don't go
around much among shooting galleries
that this sight seemed strange to me-"
said a man who commonly stays pret-
ty close at home. but in this gallery
II certainly did surprise me to see a
big revolver secured to the counter
by paddock
They had lot OF rifles there,
magazine rifles, these all lying with
their muzzles toward the targets
handily across the board, but that
one big revolver was padlocked down
so that nobody could pick 1t up until
II had been unlocked. | wondered at
that. Were they afraid somebody
would carry it off?
That seemed scarcely likely, for 1t
was as big as a cannon, a IA, and a
man wouii hardly try to slip gun
like that in his pocket with the gal
lery man standing by. But pretty
soon a man wanted to fire this big re-
volver and when he camc to handle 1t
thought that perhaps we could see
the reason why ii was kept chained.
The rifles were long enough SO
that when you threw the muzzle Of
one up it went above your head and
above those of the bystanders; but big
as It was the revolver could still be
thrown up to point where by care
lesshandling you might shoot yourself
or somebody else with II. Maybe that
was the reason why they kept the big
revolver chained, so that people
couldn't pick 1t up and handle it. True,
1t would be supposed to be unloaded
when lying not In use, but somebody
who had used it might have left q
cartridge in 1t, and, loaded or unload
ed. gun is a dangerous thing to
handle; you never can tell.
Anyhow this big revolver when not
IN use was kept padlocked to the
counter"

In the Heat Of Battle.

There had been a hotly contested
football game between the Steam Rol-
lers of the Benjamin Franklin School
and the Avalanches of the George
Washington School. 1t was won By
the Avalanches. After the game was
over and the contestants had return
ed to their various homes, one of the
heroes Of the winning team complained
Of a feeling OF soreness in the lower
part of his neck.
Il didn't feel 1t until just now" he
said. but 1t hurts like sixty!"
His father examined it 1t began to
swell. and was very sore to the touch.

A surgeon was hastily summoned.
and made an examination.
"Yes," he said. the bone is frac-
tured. How did 1t happen, Walter
Do you remember anything about it?"

Crows a. Enemies Of Terraplns.

The crow is the evil genius Of the
turtle Just as OF the diamond back
and other terrapins. When the warm
days Of spring come and the female
terrapins and turtles leave their beds
In the marsh, the crow goes on guard,
knowing that a season Of feasting is
at hand. Both terrapins and turtles
seek the warm. sandy uplands near
the shore to deposit their eggs. A
hole is dug several inches deep and
from 20 to 80 oblong white eggs are
deposited and then the nest Is filled
or covered with sand. Having neatly
piled the sand over the eggs the turtle
raises herself Just as high as It Is
possible, then comes down with a
heavy thud on the sand. This is con.
tnued until the sand Is quite hard,
when the eggs are left for the sun to
hatch.
In the meantime the crow has been
on guard, and by means OF his sharp
bill and strong claws the work Of
breaking into the treasure house Of
the unsuspecting turtle is quickly ac-
complished and the feast is soon over.
The crow is considered by many to
be the greatest enemy the diamond
back has. 1t is an easily established
fact that the crow destroys thousands
Of the eggs OF all kinds Of terrapins,
not making an exception of the dia-
mond back.

Melody on the Farm.

If you like music and pretty pic
lures, you can have them at your will
by getting up early on the farm and
listening to the songs of the birds and
all the signs and sounds of natures
resurrection. You can hear the chick
ems, the cows and the hogs-the neigh
Ing horses as the farmer comes with
their feed. You can hear the voices at
the lot-as the boys or the hired hands
draw water for the stock and make
ready for the day. Then, as the first
long golden lance of light strikes
down across the silent fields, you can
see all the life and hustle of another
opening day. And all of il is sweet,
and bringeth peace and joy-as we
find out sometimes when we have left
it and pine for it again.-Sylyania

Health and Mountain CLIMBING.

If women (and men, too) would take

slowly, and get all the fresh air pos
slble, they would not in middle life ac-

averse to physical effort, or drop of
with heart failure. Even stair-climb-
Ing is better than nothing; for the last
year or two, though there is an ele-
vator, | have done four flights several
times a day. Reasonable mountain
climbing will bring or preserve health,
Joy and youth up to really old age. 1t

Drawn, nor the oyertraining which

lowing decision: The court in this

mand, because the court while this
case has been in progress has been
obliged to hold on 10 both arms OF

Friedberg lives f. Astoria, but does

by a list of names. Conspicuous in
the lot were the Mayor and Chief of

a number signifying the votes the

though receiving the benefits of it's
work, without which they would have
had but scant attention at the hands

submitted the question whether it
was worth while to urge veterans to

former governors were present-Up-
