And there won't be any wake.

Would a carrot cure the pip?
Would dose of spuds cure collie

TWO BOYS
BURNED
Played With Powder and a
Lighted Match Causes
Explosion.

James Kirkpatrick, aged Is
years, and Vernan league, aged
10 years, were probably fatally
burned last Saturday in pow
der explosion at Crestmont. The
younger boy ran 300 yards to
the creek where he plunged into
the water in an endeavor to eX-
tinguish the flames, but he is
lying in a precarious condition as
the result of his burns.
Last Saturday the boys went
to an old house in which four
cans of powder had been stored
and in some way they touched
fire to some loose powder on the
floor. The flames spread rapidly
and two of the cans exploded
throwing burning powder in
every direction. The clothing
of the boys were almost immed-
iatly enveloped in flames, and
their faces and hands were burn
ed by the flames.
The older boy ran into the
yard and removed his clothing,
but in so doing his hands and
face were burned beyond recog-
milton. The little league boy,
not being able to. remove his
clothing ran to the creek and
plunged into the water, but not
until his clothing had almost been
burned from his body. His hand,
face and body were burned into
a crisp and it looked like he
could not live but a few minutes,
but he is still living, although
his condition is pitiful.

1t will surprise man, sports-men,
who "pet' favorite weapons with
much cleaning, wiping and oiling, to
know just how much neglect a gun can
stand, if necessary, and function pro-
perry.
Two cases have been reported this
week that throw much light on this
point. The first story comes from w.
A. Hills of Portland, Oregon, who
submits a Remington autoloading shot
gun that was stolen. from a gun club
near Portland and thrown by the pursu
ed theifinto the brush along the Column
bian River where il lay for nine month
in mud aud for three months under
wa er-- turing the Colutubian's high
water period. When Mr.. Hills found
the gun, he simply squirted little oil
into the action and shot ii several times
without the least trouble. Beyond a
few easily removed "barnacleS," the
gun required no special attention.
From w. ). Stickney, a southern
I League pitcher, comes news of Il long
bath taken by another gun Of the same
model, which was lost in Il river near
Montgomery, Ala. The gun was recoy-
cred after having reposed on the river
bottom for four months, and has been
shot by Mr.. Stickney throughout the
hunting season with only cleaning
require to bring it to 'form.'
These experiences are not related,

Origin of croquet.

The origin OF croQuet is certainly in-
volved In mystery. Some authorities
are of the opinion that it is founded on
the old game of "pale maille, or pell-
nell, from which we have the street
Pail Mall. This is described by Cot
grave in his dictionary as "a game
wherein a round box bowie is with a
mallet struck through a high arch of
yron," and a picture of this in STRUTS
sports and Pastimes" shows that
these had strong resemblance to the
croquet implements of today.
