You astonish me! had heard something of your abil- ity for killing, but I thought it was merely patients.” “Now quit your kiddin’! If you are looking for well-known charac- ters, get busy with me. I'm unquestionably it! Why, Bryan always stopped at my house when he was in New York until I voted for Tom Watson, and Alfred Henry Lewis aiways reads his manuscripts to me before he dots his i-s; I've got enough deadly microbes in bottles at my office to kill the live insurance yellow dog! But I cherish my rep- utation as a swordfish sticker more highly than all the rest of my laurels. How is it done? W! first you get him by the tail with a block and tackle. and then you tow him around with a small keg fastened curely to your feat until he is exhausted—this is the critical period, be- cause at any moment he is liable to get peevish and puncture your keg. When he is thoroughly tired out—probably after a run of some eighteen miles or such a matter—you place a chloroform sponge over his mauth, holding him firmly with a ‘half Nelson’ at the same time; watch his left eye and, when it turns glassy, kick him savagely in the solar plexus and he will throw up the chlorofolm sponge and everything else he's got. Then you simply stick him with your harpoon between the heniochus macrolepidotus and the glyphidodon smaragdinus. “What was the longest sword vou ever captured?” “Thirty feet—er, approximately.

The buffoonery of the caricaturist is out of place in dealing with the hero of tLe Battle of Piedmont, the friend of Lincoln, the man who fought in both battles of Bull Run, the man who organized Volunteers, who gui arded the appro the Elghth New York Regiment of ach to Washington when Lee’s army threatened an invasion of the National Capitol, who served under our flag from the day of Lincoln's first proclamation to the day upon which hostilities had ceased, and who has to-day among his treasured posses- sions the “medal of honor,” conferred by the Congress of the United States for gallantry on marv battlefields of the ctvil war.
