While Z. T. Taylor was cleaning
his revolver, last Saturday, ho for
got that it was a double-action wea
pon and accidentally pullod the
trigger too hard. The revolver was
discharged, sending a bullet through
the calf of Mr. Taylor’s loft leg.
The bullet ranged downward through
the ilesh, severing an artery, but
striking no bones. After making
the wound, the bullet passed nearly
through the lloor, was deflected by
something and again came to the top
of the floor, being fouud almost out
of the wood. The injured man is
getting along nicely and will soon
be well again.

TRY TO MISLEAD DOCTORS.
Too Many Patients Refuse to Speak
the Truth as to Their Ailments.
It was late, the doctor's patients
had either passed away or were mend
ing, and he was sitting with a num
ber ot his acquaintances in a corner
of the clubroom.
“It’s a strenuous life we lead,"
droned the uian of medicine, "with
tho grim side turned uppermost as a
rule, but now and then we get a
laugh out of it—a laugh with the lid
on, of course; we can't afford to show
wo're amused. I often wonder,” he
went on, genially, “why some of you
chaps over send for a physician. You
don’t tell him the truth once in twen
ty time-. You’re in a bad way and
you’re sorry, and to hear y.ou talk
I’d think your mouths were cold stor
age boxes for butter. You suspect that
lobster or a rich sauce you ate the
day before yesterday is at the bottom
of the trouble. You know what’s
curled up In you and you're fright
ened out of a year’s growth for fear
I’ll learn.
“Accordingly, instead of taking me
into your confidence you tell me an
impossible story. And if I cross-exam
ine you closely and hedge you In you’ll
reluctantly admit that you’ve been
somewhat indiscreet. You smoked
four cigars Thursday and took six
drinks. Doesn’t it ever occur to you
that I know by your flutters that you
smoked from breakfast to bed and
took sixteen drinks and six more for
good measure?
"If I were to believe you and dose
you for your ailment as you describe
it you’d never get well. Now and
then I have to give you strychnine
and nitro-glycerlne to restore the 'ac
tion of the henrt and to listen to you
I might conclude that you’d had too
much pink ice at a children’s party.
"As I hinted, we doctors get some
fun out of you, hut what do you do
it for? We were not always doctors,
we haven't always taken the best care
of ourselves and we’re not fools."
HER DIGNITY AT STAKE.
Weighty Reason for Desiring Change
of Dressing Rooms.
“Speaking of the ways of stage folk
with dressing rooms, reminds me of
something that happened to me Just a
fortnight before our season closed,”
said a theatrical man who is home
for the summer. “In the company I
manage there’s a middle-aged women
who has a small part. Her husband Is
in the company, too, and when you
have a married couple in the same
company it's a sure sign of trouble.
Well, the lady didn’t like dressing in
tho dressing rooms her position in tho
company called for, but there wnsn’t
much she could do till we struck al
most the last stand on our route. Then
her husband asked me if I wouldn’t
come up to their room in the hotel,
because she wanted to speak to me. I
went. She told me she was ill and un
able to climb stands, and ns a special
favor couldn’t I arrange It so she’d
have a downstairs dressing room? Of
course I could, and I said so. Nobody
who was ill should ever lack for con
sideration in my company. Then I
went to my own room. It bapnenorl to
be the one adjoining theirs, but they
didn’t know it, and I didn’t either, till
I lay down to take a nap, and found
I could hear every word they said.
And what do you think I hoard?
“ ‘There,’ said that woman, ‘l’ve
fixed that. Of course I’m not ill,
Charlos. I never was better In my
life, but I must maintain my dignity.’ ”
•—Washington Post.
FOUND AN EASY VICTIM.
Boston Photographer Falls to Very
Old Trick.
A man went into a Boston photo
grapher’s gallery the other day. Men
have done this before and survived —
even though taken from life. The
man was on the usual errand, a fact
that ho carefully imparted to the
artist.
“Make the best presentation you can
of me. gentle sir,” he said In a court
eous way. "And while I need hut one,
a dozen will not come amiss. Let
them be your premier cabinets, for I
would not curtail the expense.”
TRe photographer rubbed his hands
together In a purring way.
"I will try to satisfy you, sir,” he
said. “Pray be seated.”
The subject smiled as the artist
posed him.
“I will admit,” he said, “that I de
sire to look my very best. A heart’s
happiness this portrait makes."
"I fully comprehend,” said the artist
The sitter glanced at his vest.
"Seems rather dull and tame to
me," he said. “Ought to be bright
ened up a little. Here, supose you let
mo wear that watch and chain of
yours Just as a catchy outward dec
oration.”
So the smiling photographer passed
him the gold watch with Its heavy
chain and the sitter donned them with
perceptible pleasure.
"That’ll go fine with the rest of the
makeup.” he said, and a moment or
two later after the photographer had
stepped out to get a dry plate or
something he returned to find that the
watch and chain had gone with the
rest of the makeup to parts unknown.
And all this happened In simple old
Boston.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
TOMMY HAD HIS JOKE.
But Probably Something Happened
When Visitor Had Left.
One evening Miss Passe stayed to
dinner and Tommy, as a great favor,
was allowed to have dinner with the
compuny. Growing restless at des
sert, he was sent out of the room, but
in a few seconds he returned with a
little dresden clock from the sitting
room mantelpiece.
"Gracious, child,” exclaimed the
mother, "what mischief are you up to
now?”
"Goln’ to try a sperlment,” replied
Tommy with importance.
Miss Passee tittered, "The dear lit
tle fellow 1b going to try an experi
ment,” she gushed. “How clever of
him.”
While Miss Passee was speaking
Tommy had carefully placed the clock
on the table in front of her. With a
mysterious gesture he laid his finger
on his lips and enjoined silence. No
one stirred.
After about two minutes Tommy’s
strained expression relaxed and he
clapped his hands in exultation. "It
goes!” he cried triumphantly; “It
goes; You were wrong, papa.” Tom
my’s father said nothing, but looked
apprehensive.
“Of course it goes, child,” laughed
Miss Passee. “What made your father
think it wouldn’t?”
“V/ell ” replied the little fellow,
simply, "he said your face would stop
a clock.”—The Tatler.

VALUE OF KEEN OBSERVATION.
"Scotty” Cites Billy tho Kid as an
Example of Shrewd Deduction.
"Scotty,” the alleged Death Valley
millionaire cowboy, was regaling a
circle of friends the other night with
anecdotes of the plains. Previously
some one had spoken of the clever
capture of two alleged sisters of char
ity who had been arrested for solicit
ing funds. Detectives who were
watching the supposed sisters as they
climbed the stairs of the elevated
road say that they wore red stockings
and high heeled shoes, and their ar
rest was made on the strength of that
discovery.
“That reminds me of Billy the Kid,
when he was floating around the Pan
handle country,” said "Scotty.”
“There was a reward out for his cap
ture and a slick detective from the
East thought to corral It. He located
Billy all right at a ranch and rode up
bold enough. Billy was suspicious of
every stranger and kept a sharp eye
on this chap, who let on that he was
a granger looking for a site to culti
vate. He was waiting his chance to
find Billy alone and get the drop on
him.
"Billy sort of edged around to the
fellow and, suddenly whipping out his
gun. ordered hands up. The detective
threw up his hands all right and
Billy took a squint at the palms.
“ ‘You’re a of a granger with
them hands,’ says Billy. ‘Why, they
never done a day’s plowin’ In their
life.’
“Billy’s gun cracked Just about then
and the detective went to trail ghosts
In some other sphere. Nothing like
observation In this world. Here, give
us another drink.”
AN AUTOMOBILE IN FIJI.
King of the Islands Insisted on Fast
Traveling.
Charles J. Glidden, the world-tour
ing automoblllßt, tells some interest
ing stories about the King of the Fiji
Islands, who received the American
tourist very graciously, and was only
■orry that he could not stay longer,
so as to give the dusky monarch more
rides over his seabound domains.
"The king was educated in Sydney,
Australia, and is a very gentlemanly
fellow,” said Mr. Glidden, “consider
ing the fact that his father was a can
nibal. He had never seen a motor
car before I landed mine on the isl
and, but he possessed some of the up
to-date enthusiasm on the subject, for
his first question was, 'Can it go sixty
miles an hour?’ I couldn’t go fast
enough for him, which was in marked
contrast with the sultan of Java, who
wouldn’t let me go faster than four
miles an hour, and it was the most
difficult driving I had to do on my
whole tour. The - Fijian king is as
black as the ace of spades. The old
cannibal days of Fiji are passing
away, however, for one of the first
things I saw on landing was a low
house with a big sign reading:
‘American Iced Drinks.’ Not so far
away from home after all, I thought.
It’s a warm place, and iced drinks
ought to pay.”
Harvard’s President Appreciated.
Some years ago a physician was
summoned in haste to attend a patient
at N . On arriving at the island,
and lnqulrlng for a conveyance to the
nouse no wisneti to visit, he was di
rected to a farmhouse. Here the doc
tor found a man, whom he requested
to harness a horse, at the same time.
In tbe interest of his patient, desir
ing him to be lively.
The man pleasantly and promptly
complied, harnessed the horse, and
was speedily driving over the road at
a good rate. The doctor discussed
farming, and was struck with the gen
eral information and conversational
powers of the driver. On arriving at
tho house half a dollar was tendered
the man, but it was politely declined.
“What is the name of your intelli
gent farmer?” asked the doctor, after
he had finished his professional visit.
"What, the gentleman who brought
you to the house? That was Presi
dent Eliot of Harvard.”
Free Certificate for Himself.
The following story is told of the
late Dr. James C. Swan, a physician
of the old school, who practised his
profession for a great many years in
Bridgewater, Mass., and the surround
ing towns.
This generous if not alluring offer
was made by him to the pernicious
father of an insane young man:
The old man wished to secure his
son’s admission to the Insane asylum,
but seemed unwilling to pay for the
necessary certificate. After hearing
his plea of poverty, which the doctor
knew to be false, and hearing him also
tell of the many expenses to which he
had put by his ungrateful children, the
physician waved his hand to end the
recital.
“Now, see here,” he said, sharply;
“you just pay me for this one, and I’ll
give you a certificate for yourself,
whenever you wish it, for nothing.”
The Mission of the Cossack.
It is worthy of notice that the czar
of Russia depends for his safety al
most wholly upon his regiments of
Cossacks. These mounted soldiers
have proved themselves to be despic
able warriors in the far east. As a
factor in the war the Cossack has
tumbled from the high position he
once held to an exceedingly low level.
On the other hand, as the arm. prop
and buttress of a despotism, the Cos
sack has proved himself to be an un
qualified success. His function, the one
in which he excels, is to charge with
sword or loaded whip upon crowds o f
unarmed men, women and cliildre:
where the probabilities of effective*
retaliation are exceedingly slight.—
Boston Herald.
Mr. MacQueen as a Minister.
The Rev. Peter Mac Queen tells this
story on himself: It seems that Mr
Murphy, the famous temperance ora
tor, made one of his great speeches ir.
the West Somerville Cong: egational
church some years ago. At ti e plose
of the service one of Mr. McQue. u s
I arishloners. a worthy Scot addicted
to strong liquors, came up to sign
the temperance pledge.
Mr. Murphy talked to the Scotch
man and asked him if Mr. McQuicn
was not a brother Scot. “What kind
of a minister is Mr. Mac Queen?
said Murphy to the convert d tippler.
“He’s r foin moil, that Mister Mac-
Queen: a grawn meenictrr that:
there’s nane o’ this dom’d relee ; or.
aboot him." replied the old Scotch
man.

‘Queen Quality Shoes.”
