It Should be Your Aim
to buy the beat gun your pocket can afford. Many of the cheaper
makes are good for a time, but have not the quality that insures
durability, or the finish that gives them accuracy. We carry a line
of
Sporting Guns and Rifles
which are the production of high-class factories. They are not high
priced, but the prices are sufficient to pay for fine material and
workmanship. We certainly give excellent value. Buy every thing
you need in the way of wire at. onet —you will have to pay very high
for it soon. If you want to paint your house, come to see me.

j HIGH KENTS IN LONDON.
Some parts of London are the
most highly rented places in the
world, far exceeding the most ex
pensive localities of Paris or New
York. Cornhill is absolutely the
dearest rented district in the world,
i One room near the exchange was let
a short time ago at £2,500 per an
num. Six rooms on the first floor
of a house at Throgmorton street
were advertised recently to be let
at a rent of £2,000 per annum.
Bond street is the dearest neighbor
hood in London for a man to start
business in. A small shop in Bond
street will cost its tenant £I,OOO per
I annum, and be it observed the word
1 shop has strict limitations and only
includes the shop and basement, the
! rest of the house being let separate
-1 ly. The rents in the Strand have
increased hugely during the last
twenty-five years, and a lease of a
shop renewed lately cost the tenant
an increase of £2OO per annum on
his rent. —London Tatler.
Nice Prison, This.
It is very doubtful if there is any
where a more delightful prison than
that of Tobel, in Switzerland.
There are very few guards, not
more than one to every twenty-five
prisoners, and they never think of
carrying arms.
The prisoners’ cells are constant
ly open, so that the inmates can eas
ily communicate with one another
and can tell at any time what the
guards are doing. Moreover, the
prisoners are allowed to have paper,
ink, newspapers, cider and various
dainties from the kitchen, includ
ing fried eggs, of which they are
very fond.
One would suppose that prisoners
would not desire to leave such an
earthly paradise as this,yet three no
torious murderers—Lohrer, Schmid
and Hess—quietly strolled away
from it recently and, it is said, have
not as yet shown any inclination to
return.

Versatile in literary matters, but has
her moments of domesticity, recent

of Harper’s Bazar, asking her to set
a date for an interview in regard to

“Unable to come owing to quince

The editor, being a woman, rec
ognized the force of the excuse and
rejoined:
“Are you doing them up or are
they doing you up?”

A BRAVE IRISHMAN.
Orderly *lley. Who Met Death With
a Laugh.
“Courage, fidelity, honesty, are the
soldier’s cardinal virtues, which, sum
med up, read the plain and simple do
ing of one’s duty. And it was in Rice
Graves’ battery before Fort Donelson
that the virtues of the Confederate sol
dier were 4ried to the uttermost,” said
the old staff officer.
“Among them all Tom Riley, the or
derly, shone out resplendently, for he
went to certain death against orders
because he thought it was his duty.
Graves’ battery had been got up in the
lower part of Kentucky. ‘No married
man nor men with sweethearts need
apply’ had been the order of the cap
tain in organizing it. And the battery
looked the part. They were the dare
devils of Donelson. They would sing
while they shot and crack jokes repuls
ing a charge. The captain had made
Riley orderly to keep the wild Irishman
in order. Between the two there was
an affection almost brotherly.
“On the second day of Donelson
Graves’ battery was in a mighty tight
box. The battery had been ordered
into the rifle pits, and it seemed to the
men that about a million bluecoats
were shooting at them. For hours they
lay under the leaden storm. The enemy
kept coming closer and closer. Some
thing had to be done. To show one’s
head above the trenches meant death.
“ ‘Run out a gun and let ’em have it,
boys,’ said Graves.
“One round was fired, but it seemed
only to bring down on that spot every
Federal gun in reach. To reload the
Confederate piece one man had to show
himself. The gunner sprang to his
place, rammer in hand. The piece was
reloaded, but the cannoneer fell dead.
Again the gun from Graves’ battery
spoke. A second time it was reloaded,
and a second cannoneer lay dead beside
his piece.
“Time after time this was repeated.
The dead piled up about the gun. The
entire Federal fire concentrated in an
effort to silence It It took two men
now for one shot. The battery boys
had quit joking. They lay grim and de
termined In the pit. As one fell the oth
ers moved up toward the gun. The
nearest would say, ‘Goodby, fellows,’
and jump to his place, only to fall a
minute later. The captain had ordered
Tom Riley to stay behind when the bat
tery went Into the pits, but scarcely
had the-men got settled before Riley
appeared.
“‘I couldn’t help It, sir,' he said to
GrAves and took hla place among the
taeh. Slowly death worked Its way
along the line toward Riley. Now he
was three, then two and one before the
captain knew It Then Graveß saw the
danger.
“ ‘Come here, Riley.’ he cried. ‘You
are not a gunner. You are my orderly.
You have no business there.’
“The cannoneer before Riley fell
dead. The wild Irishman seized the
rammer and turned to the captain. ‘lt
is my duty, sir,’ he said.
“Then, as though on parade, but with
desperate swiftness, he began to load
the gun. A shot knocked “him to his
knees, but he staggered up again and
finished the work. Then he turned and
bowed in the direction of the bluecoats.
“ ‘Why don’t ye learn how to shoot ?’
he yelled.
“He stepped back into cover and fell
bleeding from half a dozen wounds.
“ ‘I wouldn’t ’a’ given ’em the satis
faction o’ knowing it,’ he murmured
faintly.
“Two of the men picked him up ten
derly and began to carry him to the
rear. They passed Graves, and Riley,
looking up, saw tears in his captain’s
eyes.
“The orderly, already dying, was re
called to lift. He forced a bloody laugh.
“ ‘Shure, captain, darlint.’ he cried,
‘don’t ye mind. Why, I ain’t had so
much fun since me mither died.’
“And Tom Riley tried to salute, but.
died before he could quite manage it.”
—Louisville Courier-Journal.
Canaries as Weather Prophets.
“I have'heard of all sorts of barome
ters, or, rather, weather signs, but I
know of no more reliable weather
prophets than my birds.” said a Balti
more lady who owns several canaries.
“I can almost always tell when it is go
ing to rain by the distinctness with
whicli If can hear the trains at night,
but the birds are even more reliable
than that. If I hear them singing in
the morning early, before I take the
coverings of their cages off, I know
that the day will be a good one, no
matter if it is raining at the moment,
but if they do not sing I am sure there
will be bad weather before the day is
over. 1 have never known them to fail,
and 1 never think of going shopping or
calling unless the birds sing in early
morning. That is why I never get
caught in the rain, as many of my
friends do. That poor weather bureau
man, who makes so many mistakes in
his prophecies, ought by all means to
get himself some canaries.”—Baltimore
Sun.
Tie Cautions Cossack.
Says a Russian traveler: “The Cos
sack bears himself as if there was al
ways a Kirgheez with a spear before
and a Bashkir with a drawn sword be
hind him. He always appears angry
and extremely cautious, as if he were on
the battlefield watching his enemy and
careful of attack from behind. Com
ing into contact with a stranger, the
Cossack looks at him with a searching,
scrutinizing eye; his talk Is like that
beard In a cross examination at the
bar; bis Interrogations are catching
questions. So they are all, the men and
the women, the young and the old.
The insolence of their yonng children
and aged persons makes a revolting im
pression. rrobably all Russia was In 1
the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
as the Cossacks are at present—power
ful, harsh, insolent, half savage.”

Skin, Scalp and Blood
Humours
Speedily Cured by Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills
When the Best Physicians and
All Else Fail.
The agonizing itching and burning
of the skin, as in eczema; the frightful
scaling,as in psoriasis; the loss of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in scalled
head; the facial disfigurements, as in
pimples and ringworm; the awful suf
fering of infants, and anxiety of worn
out parents, as in milk crust, tetter and
salt rheum,— all demand a remedy of
almost superhuman virtues to success
fully cope with them. That Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills are such
stands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement is made regarding them that
is not justified by the strongest evi
dence. The purity and sweetness, the
power to afford immediate relief, the
certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, ttie absolute safety and great
economy have made them the standard
skin cures, blood purifiers and humour
remedies of the civilized world.
Bathe the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the '
surface of crusts and scales, and soften
the thickened cuticle. Dry, without
hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Oint
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation
and inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, take the Cuticura Resolvent
Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood.
This complete treatment, costing but
one dollar, affords instant relief, per
mits rest and sleep in the severest
forms of eczema and other itching,
burning and scaly humours of the skin,
scalp and blood, and points to a speedy,
permanent and economical cure when
all other remedies and the best physi
cians fail.
HARD TO MAKE IT HOMELIKE
Far be it from me to make light
of any one’s sorrow, but when a wo
man still swathed in widow’s weeds
sees fit to betake herself and her
garments of mourning to a friv
olous matinee she —well, respect for
her grief need not keep me from
repenting what I heard her say. I
couldn’t help hearing her, for she
sat beside me, and after the first act
she talked across me to a woman
on my other hand.
“I was afraid I wouldn’t get here
at all,” she said, “and I’m just tired
out. I was out at the cemetery all
morning.” ‘1
“Are you putting up a monu
ment ?” asked the woman addressed.
“Oh, I had that done long ago,”
answered the widow. “I was just
out today looking after the plants
and the ivy. I’m having an iron
vase fixed up, and I want it to be
green all winter. It’s so hard”—
and here she signed—“it’s so hard
to make a cemetery look homelike,
you know.”—Washington Post.
Used It For a Pass.
President Ingalls of,the Big Four
road writes an execrable hand, and
a farmer living near Springfield, 0.,
is glad of it. One day Mr. Ingalls
was riding over a division of the
road and came within smelling dis
tance of a particularly emphatic
hog pen owned by the farmer. Next
day lie wrote an autograph letter to
the agriculturist, complaining of
the hog pen. The farmer could not
read a word of it and showed the
missive to a Big Four agent. The
latter could not make anything out
of it either, but said it looked like
the passes sometimes issued by
President Ingalls. was a sug
gestion to the farmer, who declares
that he made several trips on the
road, using the illegible scrawl as a
pass, before conductors discovered
that it was a protest instead.
