HUNTERS HIT b¥ THEIR GAME, | tmatances Where Spertsmen Have | Reeeived Severe Blows from Bivds, Game killed in flight has a viomen tum that carries it a long way some times. The London Field relates sev- eral instances where the birds have hit the sportsman. In oue case George Monners was shooting in the woods of beaters, came fiying along fast and high up. He shot at it, and then, with the other barrel, fired at another bird. Just as he was about lowering his gun, after the second shot, he received a blow on the head that knocked him senseless. tumbled against his head. That same afternoon a wheelimnaa, riding along near the line of hunters, | admiring the scenery, did not observe | a big black cock till its feathers brush- ed his head. The black coco had heen killed and had nearly bit him in falling. The Badminton volume cn shooting tells how the late Charles Leslie was knocked out at the battery by a grouse he had shot. A strong hat probably saved him from serious injury. ican hunters have had similar nce. A man was riding along in a wagon some time ago. according to Forest and Stream, when some ting hit him on the head with enough feree to make him dizzy. An un wounded partridge flying through the woods had hit him fair. Why the bir¢ did not turn aside is as much a mys tery as the fact that partridges some | times fly against house sides and arv | killed in go doing. | Shel: | A Motion to Amend, Those people out in Colorado are cer tainly stuck on silver. Now, the last time I was out there I attended chures on Sunday, as I slways do. The min ister was one of the good, old-style ’ Methodists. He’d grown up in the country, though, and called a spade a 9 gepade when it was necessary.

Now, that just shows what the silver sentiment is in that state.” “Well, what did the preacher say? asked the listeners. “Well, gentlemen, he looked at that little peaked-nose, bow-legged runt for a minute, gettin’ madder and madder all the while, and he looked as if he was going to have a stroke of apo- plexy.

From New York Sun: “Since I came too full of emotion to say anything, | (© New York, twelve years ago,” said aving | ne man in the group, “I have been known in the laundry world as ‘R 9. I don’t suppose I could get iii of that mark whatever I should do. It identi- files me as persistently as a hand with ene finger gone. It came about in the most accidental way. I sent my clothes <o a certain laundry late in 1883, when I first moved to New York. They came back marked ‘R 9.’ Every successive laundry has put that mark back on | them until I am now so firmly fixed as | ‘R 9’ that I never expect to be desig- nated under any other device.” “I'm ‘W Z,’ answered a small, meek man, apologetically, “and I never could fathom the imagination of the washer- woman who decided to label me ‘W Z.’ My collars are only fourteens, and tere’s nothing about my clothes te lead anybody to think I ought to be branded with any such impossible com- bination of consonants as ‘W Z.’_ There are undoubtedly men that ‘W Z’ might suit, but I’m not one of them. The difficulty of the matter is that these laundresses may be picturesque enough in the first instance, although when one makes a mistake of judgment the rest follow, like sheep. Any woman who keeps on marking a fourteen col- lar ‘W Z’ shows a lack of inventiveness that is painful even in « laundress.” “My name is Jones,” the third man of the group said, “and I haven't a droy of German blocd in my body. I never had a German ancestor, and I know nothing about Germany. But in the laundry annals I am _ irretrievably known as ‘Krauss.’ Nine years ago i moved to New York, and came here af- ter having traveled for several weeks, { put all my wash into my trunk, and when I reached New York there was quite an accumulation. I went out to a laundry in the neighborhood, and told the man to send areund to the house for my clothes. Before that I had told the servant to give my clothes to anybody who called, and it happened that a boy came first for the clothes of a lodger above me. Of course, he got mine instead, and it happened that the other man’s name was known. S¢ way entire laundry came back marked “Krauss.” How they happened not to nvtice that they had never been marked Defore I don’t know. But I am still known as ‘Krauss’ in the laundry set; collars wear out and shirts fall to pieces, only to be known anew as ‘Krauss. The other man told me that 2.8 clothes came back from the laun- ary marked ‘J. Kra ’ That was the only tribute to my name, Jones, that was skown on that occasion. Whether the other man’s name stuck to him or not I never heard. But I have been ‘Krauss’ tor nine years, as much as the warks on my linen can make me that.” ®¥REAKS ALL MOVING RECORL:*. ‘ecomplished in the Removal of » Beste more Warehouse, All housemoving records have receu— ‘y been broken in Baltimore. The sargest single structure ever transport- ed from one place to another has re cently been moved over 100 feet in that city and the remarkable feat ac- complished without the slightest dam- age to the building and its contents, Jt was a freight warehouse belonging to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company which was the subject of this engineering achievement and the build- ing was full of freight at the tima Yhe structure is 449 feet long, 120 feet wide, and 60 feet high, made of wood and iron. Five weeks were required in preparation, one week in the ac- tual moving, and two weeks setting the building on its new foundations, When it was all done not even one plate in ali of the 3,000. cases of china which were in the warehouse was cracked. The operation of moving was conduct- ed in much the same manner as was employed last spring to change the abiding place of the Emanuel Baptist Church cf this city. Heavy beams, 6,000 in all, were laid down and on them forty tracks were placed. On the tracks 1,000 rollers were put. The building moved on the rollers. Along TRAMP WINS A WIFE. Runs. Off with the Daughter of His Farmer Employer. Pretty Lizzie Gordon of Mattawan, N. J., has eloped with Charles Davis, who less than a year ago was a tat- tered tramp, while Lizzie was a bloom- ing rural beauty, who might have had her pick of the eligible farmer lads in the neighborhood, Her father is Court- ney H. Gordon, a rich farmer, whose f place is three miles from Mattawan, Davis, tattered, ary, arrived at the Gordon farm and asked for work. He said he was of good family, but in | hard luck, and he begged so hard for employment that Farmer Gordca hired him. Davis seemed to put his whole heart in the work he had to do about the farm, and the farmer liked him so well that he kept him employed until about ten days ago, when the farm work slackened and his help was not needed Davis then took up his residence a Keyport. After having worked for Gordon a few weeks Davis was able to buy him- self good clothes. Upon occasions hr donned his best and made a very good appearance. The longer he stayed at the farmhouse the better he was liked by the Gordon family. It was noticed that Miss Lizzie often smiled upon him, and of late they had been seen strolling along the road together. They were seen so often together that the neigh- bors began to remark, saying “That Davis fellow seems to be shining up to his young mistress.” Nothing se- rious was thought of by the family, however, and the daughter was allow- ed to receive the man’s attentions. After leaving the farm Davis came ; down upon several occasions to see Miss Lizzie. One day last month he ‘ame to the house with a horse and buggy and took her for a drive. They went to Keyport and since then have not been seen. The parents searched the girl’s room and found that she had taken a sav- ings bank book which contained a cred- it for $100 at a bank in New Bruns- wick. HANDSHAKE OF THE WHEEL. Offspring of a Rotary Mind, It Takes a Circular Twist. The bicycle is responsible for « new salutation. From the wheel to ride has been evolved the wheel to shake. The new handshake is rotary, muscular and amusing; it is also growing popular. | The bieycle handshake is here to stay, and neither war nor rumors of war | will diminish its popularity. | The bicycle handshake is the natural | offspring of a rotary mind busied 12 j hours in the day with its own and | other people’s wheels. If men and | women ride wheels and talk little else | but wheels it is only natural that they | should soon begin to think wheels, and | thinking wheels makes the thinker look | at life as a thing circular, speedy and | puncturable. The bicycle face, the | high and low gear laugh, the puncture- proof self-assurance and the chainless conversational ability are part and parcel of the bicycle era. And now the bicycle handshake adds. the final | touch of refinement. To ride on the saddle of convention- | ality you must grasp the right grip of a friend when you meet him or her, elevate your digital handlebar above | your chin and push off into space with your hand and the hand of your friend in tandem, -describing a 100-inch sprocket wheel in the air, while you indulge in verbal scorching about the weather—and wheels. In other words you grasp the hand of your friend and , attempt to wrest his arm out of its socket by making a human windmill of him. If you don’t indulge in the bicycle handshake—well, you’re not a | Wheelman, and that means social and | business ostracism.—New York Jour- | nal. | TOOK ACCUSTOMED PLACES. | dias ‘en of the Twe!ve Jarymen File Into H the Criminal Dock. “I have just 1eturned srom a trip | to the southwest,” said a lawyer, “and | whenever I happened to be in a town j one side of the structure was placed | where a court was sitting I made it my a row of screw jacks, with two men} business to go and see how justice in charge of each.

SENATOR. - One of the Pecuilarities of Registering: ut Monaco. To be thoroughly informed about the personality and movements cf every visitor, the government at Monaco, Eu- rope’s gambling principality, supplies the hotel registers, which are examin- ‘ed daily by the police, and any land- lord who allows a guest to remain eveD for a night in his house without filling up the blanks makes himself Mable to a heavy fine. The blanks include such questions as name, residence, occupa- tion, last halting place, intended dura- tion of stay in Monaco and intended destination. So, when George appear- ed with the black-covered book in his hand I knew what he wanted. Per- haps I should explain that here, as in most European hotels, it is not neces- sary for a guest to co near the Office unless he chooses to. The register is brought to his rcom; the bills, the meals, if he likes, and the landlord, too, if he is rung for. “All right, George.” I told him, “don’t bother me with the thing. You register under any name and occupa- tion you think would be@suitable, Iam | not in the least. particular.” | He went to the mantel piece with the book and a lead pencil, and his ex- pression showed that he was going through a severe mental struggle. When it was over he brought nr the book to see “wheder dat’ll do, sua.” In his anxiety to make his country- Man appear as grand as possible, he had rather turned the tables upon me, for he had registered me as “Hon. G. W. Ingram; residence, Washington; vccupation, United States senator; last stopping place, Paris; intended stay in Monaco, two weeks; intended destina- tion, Cairo, Egypt.” Fine as it looked, such false pretenses might lead to awk- ward complications, and it was neces sary to find some way to back out eracefully. “Has my friend registered yet?” I asked. “No, sah,” said George. ‘“‘I’se jest goin’ to his room now, sah.” “Very, well, then,” I told him. “You need not trouble him. This descrip- tion you have written will answer for him very nicely, and I will put my own name and ‘pedigree’ beneath it,” which I did, and the rosy young Englishman received the greatest honor of his life by being made for the moment an American and a senator.—New York Times.

There is an art in warding off re- quests for small loans which some mep | Possess, but when it comes to polite, ingenious, not to say scientific, denials and evasions the average woman far surpasses the average man.

Just wait till I run upstairs and get my purse.” She ran upstairs. The male head of the house happened to be in the room where she kept her purse.
