HE KILLEO IT.
Young Man Thought he^Woutd go Duck
Hunting.
Friday, November 13, an amateur
l.uuter started out from the P. R. R.
ship yard, ducking. Ho borrowed a
gun from “ Wlieeler. ” Tho gun was
longer than ho was. After scooting
around for some time lie . discovered a
duck a few yards from tho steamboat
dock. Crawling up to within shoot
ing distance, lie mndo up is mind not
to let the “diver” get away from him,
so lio let go both barrels of the gun
at ouco. Ho sang out “I’ve got him!
I’vo got him” and handing his gun
to a freight agent on tho dock, he
jumped into a small boat and standing
up paddlod to where the duck was ly
ing on its side, as he supposed.
Suddenly his arms were seen to go
up in tho air and lie dropped on the
seat of the boat and buried liis face
in liis bauds. Whether he nad bean
stricken witli remorse for having kill
od tho duck, those who had boon wat
ching him could not tell. Suddenly,
Richard was himself again and shout
ed, “My kingdom for my horse,“but
the horse would have boon of no avail
to him there as ho had drifted oat in
the stream.
After considerable paddling ho man
aged to reach the shore, when a
mighty shout arose from the men em
ployed in the shipyard, who wore
watching him.
“He lias killed it!’’ He has killed
it” “What a Georgia Pine piling?’’
“Yes. ’
Tho ametenr hunter lmd .fired at the
head of au^old piling which showed
a hove water. It hart an iron bolt
driven in'tlie top whioh caused it to
resemble a wild duck. What Richard
said is not known, but lie was seen
going to the office talking to himself.
Friday evening on firoadwaylhe was
asked by a yonng lady “Did you kill
it?”
j POST OFFICE DOORS.
The manner in which the interior
postoflice doors move back and forth
is rather dangerous. Parties going
out behind others, unknown to them,
havo oome very near being bit byj|the
party a head going in a great hurry
and,’ letting the door swing backward
without looking and it is the same on
entering th9 office when there’s a
nrnsh. One is just as liable to be
stuck in the face as not. -
It could he avoided if oach one was
particular to look aronnd. but they
aren’t. I know of one party alone
who received part of tho force of the
door aginst her head and just savod
it perhaps from being broken by jerk
ing it away. That was the third
time Bhe'hnd come very near being
struck by one of the doors. A man
will rush out. push the door wide
op3ii and by the time ho or slio will
lmve reached the outer doors the door
will swing back and aim for the next
one’s nose as they start for it. They
make a sudden grab for it to save
their faoe and probably go out with
their fingers tingling with pain. The
doors should swing no farther than
the center. I entered the office one
evening as a nmit was coming out I had
not, gotten uir hnnd off of the door.
I entered before the other flew back
against it. It tooK a very quick
move to save my hand from being
crushed. I will venture that many
others have had the same experience.
SENTENCE SUSPENDED.

Children'* Prayer*.
“The two nicest children of my ac
quaintance have a way of resuming the
lay’s quarrels In their evening prayers.
God forgive Frances,’ prays one ,of
them, ‘for pushing me into the fountain
to-day while I was standing on the
3dge and then daring to say that I tell
in.’ It is not etiquette, of course, to
Interrupt a praying companion, so
Frances reserves her answer for her
own prayers. ‘God forgive Marjorie for
daring to say that I pushed her into
the fountain when she truthfully
knows that she fell in her own self.’ ’’
Wonlilns; Flannel*.
It is possible to wash fiannel3 with

cheese cloth is perfectly dry. The gar
