OId-Time Squirrel Rifle.

When Col. w. A. Toombs returned
recently from the old homestead near
Coiltown he brought back with him
his fathers squirrel rife. which has
been continuously in possession Of the
family since 1876. 1t is handmade
throughout and was of that full
stocked type common among the hunt
ers of Tennessee and Kentucky three
generations ago.
The barrel is AZ inches long and IL
furnished with the finest level sights
for long range shooting Its original
caliber was 120 bullets to the pound,
but having been dressed out and re-
rifled several times 1t now carries 60
to the pound. The lock is of the back
action type and il in as good condition
today as when Ii left the makers
hands 30 years ago. The triggers are
a marvel OF workmanship. They are
OF that kind known as double" or
hair" triggers and are governed with
a set screw which regulates them un-
til they will respond to the slightest
touch.-Madisonvi Hustler.

others who worship his romantic he
roes. says the New York Telegraph.
The following story concerning him Is
worth repeating. Two young girls
were discussing him: Il just dote on

lanoeance In hiQh Place.

Funny stories are current of high
oflcials in England at the present
day. Grant Duff answers for one.
School boys ought to know that there
is q town on the Persian Gulf called
Bushire. once great and still of high
importance strategically. A person
age was sent there from India on dip
lomatic business. In due time he for
warded the items of his expense at
Bushire to the foreign Office. along
with others incurred. The amount
was transmitted to him with these
latter deducted. On inquiry he was
told that the foreign office could not
recognize bus hire. May one dare to
impute ignorance to Charles Darwin?
Certainly he was the first to laugh If.
In after years. he recollected advising
Sir Joseph Hoofier to write to .'Wien."
that unknown place-where-they-
publish-so-manyb books. Where Is
1t, by-the-by?" When his fame was
already worldwide, Darwin did not
know that Wien Is Vienna.
