Draughon, of Nashville, Tenn., who doubtless owns one of the best packs of fox hounds in this country, while talking with several fox hunter friends recently, told some practical jokes on himself, What makes the stories more inter esting is that Professor Draughon is a man of considerable means, being president of thirty husiness colleges, the biggest chain of business colleges in the world, One of the stories related by Pro fessor Draughon is as follows: “One of my greatest pleasures— perhaps my greatesti—is to take some of my friends in my automobile with the {railer attached—the former car rying five passengers, the latter carry ing fifteen or twenty dogs—and go to the country for recreation. “Some time ago I had an engage ment with a party of gentlemen— Captain T. M. Steger, his son Will, J. J. Aaderson and Judge MeMor- Tough—to go on a chase. They were very enthusiastic in the matter, ex becting to emerge from the chase full fledged, experienced hunters. Wish ing to get as early a start as possible, and being naturally of a hospitable disposition, I invited them to dine with me. They declined my invita tion, pleading impossibility to leave their business as one eicuse, and a fear that I would not give them enough to eat as another; and as I would have to go through town to reach the hunting ground selected, they vroposed to join me in town. I agread to this, as also to the hour and meeiing place they suggested. The blace of meeting was on Broad street, near the depot, at 6 p. m. I rushed home, made the necessary prepara tion. and drove hurriedly back to town. stopping at the appointed piace, 'but as I arrived a little hefore the ‘time agreed upon, the colored boy who looks after my dogs asked per mission to ‘bum around town’ for awhile, which was granted “I remained in the car, whiling a,way the time by watching the nu mercus passers-by. In a few min utes a traveling man, on his way to the train, stopped and looked at the outfit and me. He began to admire the trailer attached to the auto, it be ing, as he said, the first vehicle of the kind he had ever seen or heard of. He then began to notice the dogs, asking, ‘Whose dogs are they?’ ‘They are Professor Draughon’s dogs,’ I replied.l ‘How long,” said he, ‘have You been working with dogs?’ ‘I have been working with dogs off and on all my life,’ said I. He next made this inquiry: ‘Are you fond of hunt ing?’ I replied: ‘I am very fond of hunting.’ He then became more com municative, furnishing, me with the following particulars about himself: ‘While I am a traveling man, I am also a member of a hunting club in the North. Our club owns a kennel, and we have some very fine hounds. 1 notice, however, a remarkable dif ference between these hounds and ours. Isee that Professor Draughon’s houlgds are marked black, white and tan, English style. They are the most beautiful dogs I have ever seen. I have no doubt but that the South has better fox hunds than we have, because Southern people know better how to train fox hounds than we do. ‘And, by the way, do you know where, Wwe could get a man to train our fox hounds—some one who is fond of hunting and has the Southern experi ence in the work?’ I replied: ‘No, I do not know where yYou could get such a man; it is very difficult to get a good man, one who understands his business and who is reliable.’ “About that time the traveler spied a brush lying in the car. Of course, the brush immediately got all his at tention. ‘You have a brush here, 1 see,’” said he; ‘and it is from a red fox, too.” ‘Yes,’ I replied, ‘we always carry one along for good luck.” ‘I would certainly like to have that brush,’ he said. T preserved a digni fied silence in response to his implied request for the brush; in fact, T was rather opposed to parting with it. e continued to admire it, however, say ing: ‘lt is the most beautiful brush I rever saw, and there is nothing I would like better or appreciate more than a brush from a Southern fox.’ I could stand his importunings no long er, so I said: ‘Take the brush home with you. It is a fine one, but Pro fessor Draughon has more at home.’ His gratitude was overwhelming. ‘With all my heart I thank you,’ he said. ‘I shall preserve this brush as long as I live.” Then, taking a quar ter from his poecket, he handed it to me, with these words: ‘Here, my man, take this and buy you some ci gars to take with you to the chase.’ It is needless to say that T was visibly touched with such liberality, He then took from his pocket a card, and, writing in the left hand corner the name of the kennel club of which he was a member, he handed the card to me. ‘Now, here is my name, with my ‘address,” said he, ‘and I want you to remember it. If you ever get out of a job just write to me or to the club whose name is on the card. This is a recommendation from me, and will be accepted as such by any member of the club. , My train is now about due to leave, and I must go. Good-bye.’ He was gone before I could thank him, but on the chace that night I smoked to his memory.” ON SIGNAL WATCH. It Is customary for a man-of-war to fire a national salute (twenty-one guns) wheneéver she enters a foreign port. The port acknowledges the sa lute, gun for gun. This time in en tering Yeddo Bay we were requested to waive the salute, probably because we come so often it is like one of the family coming home to dinner. The Emperor’s birthday was so } very similar to 365 other festivals an nually celebrated in Tokio that it is ‘not worth chronicling. 1 saw their royal highnesses, the Emperor and the Empress—Dbut so have millions of others, and the pageant impressed me less than a little affair of my own that subsequently occurred. I was on signal watch on the after bridge; an ordnance officer four feet away - stood looking shoreward through his binoculars as the admir al's barge rowed straight for the ship. At the proper moment he command ed: ‘“‘Bugler, call the guard.” Then all the red tabe required to get an admiral aboard was unwound. This accomplished, Lieutenant Dorn came at me fairly foaming at the mouth, “What are youdving on that bridge?”’ he roared. “I am on signal watch, sir.” “Then why did you not report the admiral’s launch coming?”’ ‘“Because you saw it, sir.” “Because I saw it! What right have you to say I saw it?” “I saw you looking at it through your glasses, sir.” “You.don't know that I was look ing at the admiral’s barge; you have no right even to think what I am looking at. Your duty was to have reported to me what you saw coming toward the ship. Failing to do, you shall answer cn Saturday morning. I put you down for carelessness, diso bedience, neglect of duty and inso lence.” I swallowed my heart and my rage, as I have done many a time and oft since I have worn this aniform, and, in faney, saw myself go down into the brig for thirty days. The brig means handcuffs or ankle irons, a diet of two hardtacks and a tumbler of water three times a day, with full rations every fifth day. I have seen men come out of the brig looking like the end of a forty days’ fast in a monas tery. I have seen men in for three days wearing double irons. They looked like pirates. Their crime was smoking out of hours. * Toreturntomyown case. On Friday night Lieutenant Dorn sent for me and gave me akindly talk, winding up with the promise that he would make a sailor out of me. I was on the shore list for the next morning, but for reasons of my own tarried on the ship. This same officer, noticing me, agked why I was there. I answered: ““Broke, sir.” He told me to go to his room and where to find $lO, which I was to take, get ashore as quickly as possi ble, and not to forget to return it on the next payday. — From “Three Years Behind the Guns,” in St. Nich olas. CAUGHT IN PRAIRIE ‘BLIZZARD. “Last Sunday was the twentieth anniversary of the great blizzard of 1888 in Nebraska and Northwestern Towa,” said G. D. Riggs the other day, “I was living in O’Neill, Neb., at the time and had just left the office to g 0 home to dinner when the blizzard struck. ' “I started to cross the street to a drug store, but when I reached the other side I found myself half way down the block from my destination. “The fine wind driven snow flakes filled the air so that I couldn’t see my hand before me. I finally worked my way back to the drug store, where a number of other men had taken refuge from the storm. “School had just been dismissed for the noon recess, and we knew that nearly 300 children were out in the storm. Securing long ropes the crowd started out to rescue them, We found them huvddled in doorways and by the sides of buildings. The children caught hold of the ropes and were led to shelter by their rescuers, whose sense of direction gradually re turned to them. Every one of the 300 school children in the town was got home in safety, : “But seven school teachers were frozen to death in the. country during the blizzard, and thousands of cattle died. The thermometer fell from about the freezing point at noon to twenty degrees below zero that night. It was the worst blizzard I ever saw, and I never want to experience an other likeé it.”"—Des Moines Register and Leader. STORY OF A KEY AND DISASTL... You may be interested to hear of a thing which happened to me in Brit tany last summer. I had to sign some railway transfers before the nearest British Consul, who was at Brest. I locked up the papers and railway stocks in a Breton cupboard as high as the ceiling and very solid. I kept the key in my pocket. When my cou sin and I were ready to start I took out the key and it would not open its own cupboard. The servants came in turn and tried in vain. We had to miss our train to Quimper, which was our first stage to Brest. Now our village blacksmith was very rough and ready, so the next morn ing I said I would try the key myself once more, before he perhaps ruined my lock. The key fitted perfectly and we went. But, imagine, we found at the station great placards posted up tell ing of the awful wreck of the Brest train the day before, and it was the train in which we should have been but for the obstinacy of the key. We saw the carriages all fallen into the river, and the dead and dying were in the hospital at Quimper. We feel this to be a preservation wrought irom the next world that is so near, —Mrs. Hodgson Pratt, in Light, . ’ eden King and Qu weden, - T ey TR ":"‘;}'i“';"\\?‘\‘-‘-7.'.-:s\%' e TR S, e‘ A ‘\: Ri A% "‘.{""-L."';‘.&\'L,v \ll%l(‘.’9&?}:\: 5&{;;3% IR AT ARG R T e {«,_r'v,::\» e ORISR e v“?zh'y}‘i :{( h %2?:\;32}) SRR T e N R R R ~«&gwff\ e TS N SRS 3 CUUE S TR e s TN SBN RN : SR RTR R R "“_ G : e S i SRR TSR Y \P' RS % Vo eSSR RAR vSR RN "'3;{«'3‘?.7.‘\‘ o M Gia T G SR » Tlactena ii o BRERRER R e WSR e SR LA ST Set N --P\<(§}.'l.%;*_ ORI S AR 5 S ’t“\"\ 3 % LR R X R OSSR iy 3 AR R G 1 PSR BN SRR e PN i : e R o R SRR o M R SFas et S e "‘%‘t‘-&:fi:_‘ SAVLN RN v»-l_:.t A LTS REAARN T 1 as 7 A;:_.\\; ’3??‘ .“‘u S 5 SR L ATR SRR * PSR AR Y 3 R SRRERSROEES (A QBRI et SRR S R RN fhoiee? - - AR B fiufix sl SR oddßN Tey SRR o eSR NRARSS Ty e S SRR EF .

In playing billiards and pool it s the cuStom of the player to crook the index finger of one hand to use &5 a holder and guide for the cue, while the butt is grasped by the other hand to make the shot. There Is one decided disadvantage in this use of the cue when the hand is damp or moist from perspiration. The moisture checks or retards the for ward motion of the cue. Experts use lotions to prevent this perspiration, and other expedients have been adopted for the purpose. The flesh of the index finger also prevents the 77 SR ; o 3 il ////':‘fi'% 2, e N\ i > \ i) =<\ =\ _ \ = 3\ A ESA 2 4 %‘ (& i sfi_}i n% ‘\‘r:/ \ ) . “\f 2 Prevents Cue Slipping. ; delicate and accurate holding of the cue. These objectidns are overcome in the device shown here, which is merely a sleeve or tube through which the cue passes, and is encircled by the index finger. The inner end of the sleeve fits the hollow between the thumb and finegr, while the for ward end rests against the second finger. The hand which hold§ the cue does not come in contact with the cue, so that any perspiration cannot in any way retard the movement of the cue. The exact amount of pressure necessary to insure correct move ment can thus be gauged with ac curacy and nicety. — Philadelphia Record. A ‘ Would Help Music.

And yet there is no crop more easily grown. Make a piece of land very rich with mabure worked in deeply and sow the seed in rows four feet apart and thin out to two feet apart, and the very next spring vou can cut | some to eat, and if you keep the bed{ well manured every fall it will iu-( crease in product year after year.

Plant some Adams Early corn, and as soon as it shows plant some Mammoth Sugar corn or Stow ell’s Evergreen, and then save your own seed. Homegrown seed will al ways be best. Plant a succession of corn, too, till early August and have corn till frost. Plant Wood's Bush Lima beans, and keep the green podg well picked, for if they are allowed to ripen they will stop blooming, hut they will keep bewring if well picked. The tall Dreer's Lima bean is the best of the large Limas for the South, and is best grown by planting in rows and thinning to two feet apart and then using some’chicken netting for them to run on and not bothering with poles. : ‘ n o - Oniong and Beets, — Sow seed of Tait's Queen onion very thickly to ake sets for planting in ‘the fall to Dfi-gyaow) z‘?&. ;M :f very thickly, A piece of bed six by ten feet will hold a pound of seed, for the little drills may be almost filled with the seed, the object being to get sets no larger than a small marble.
