A pair of weary wanderers drifted
into the local Gospel Mission during
an afternoon service this week, and
were welcomed by the good people in
charge, who do all they can to tighten
human burdens. When the collection
was taken up. one Of the wanderers
put small coin in the box, the other
said that he had no money, and Of
fered to sell a water filter worth q
quarter, for a dime. One of the Ia
dies, in the kindness of her heart. took
the filter and gave the man a quarter.
He took it and produced another of
the filters, which he offered to another
lady who was present. She did not
want it, and he started for the door
without giving his first patron her
change. When asked for it he protest.
ed that she had given him dime, but
one of the men present convinced him
of his mistake. and recovered the
quarter. giving the fellow his hitter.
Many people who are willing to lend
a hand do not care to be buncoed by
those they seek to help.

The work of getting rid of the ledge
under the Mccormick building at the
corner of Oak and Dickman streets is
still in progress but the men doing the
blasting hope to finish 1t today. The
work was commenced with blasting
powder but owing to the toughness of
the ledge but little Roadway was made
and a change of explosives was made
this week, dynamite being substituted,
and though but small cartridges can
be used on account of the location of
the ledge the men have got along
faster. The ledge, which is the same
one that crops out where the Nash
printing office stands and which runs
from southwest to northwest across
the city showing just north of the
west end of the Kennebec bridge, is
blush drab in color and the men work.
ing upon it state that it is some of the
toughest that they have encountered.
It is hard to force a drill into and a
blast skaters but little of it at a
time. 1t is much harder to work than
is granite.

Herbert Gay had very disappoint

Herbert Gay had a very disappoint-
ing sequence to his hunting trip on
Wednesday. for after hunting nearly
all day he shot at and wounded large
buck. which he followed and found that
the animal had come out on a road
near Cross Hill, where it had been fin
ished and carried away by some other
hunters. who did not even stop to bleed
the animal, evidently being afraid of
being seen by Mr.. Gay. On his arrival
at the place he found where the deer
had fallen. but no trace of the animal
or those who had taken it was to be
found While there is no law to pre-
vent this, doing such a thing is vio-
lation OF the code of true sportsman
ship, and very few real sportsmen
would stoop to such a method of get
ting game.
