■" What kind of a gun have you got
there 1 "
" W-a-a-1, ye see, mister, that gun's
an old residenter ; bin into our family
ever since the first old Hertzog moved
up liyar. That uuti's a rifle, mister, an'
she shoots mighty quick. Handle her a
little careful, mister," he continued, as
lie handed the old thing over foi my in
spection; "she lias a way of tuiubliu'
apart if she's used rough like."
The old rifle had a barrel about as
long as a fence rail, with iron enongh
in it tor rt young Gatlinj; trim, and a
bore not larger than a healthy rye straw,
while all the stock it had was absorbed
in a brass trap door leading into a cellar
smelling; <d' verdigris,-and tilled with
grease and little pieces of ra-rs.
"How do you kill anything with this;
knock it down ? "
"W-a-a-1, yes! sometimes. That's
the way I bursted the stock fhnr whar
the rawhide bandage air, a knockiu' a

At this point the investigator sudden

moved oil' into the country. As they
climbed the fifteenth fence, the old man

dooily blazing into the bushels, where
upon his mean looking dosr would rush

The Easton pai-ty hunted faithfully,
according to their lijrhts, and shot upon
the imwtsi-ientitic principles ; but, some
how, the old man got the gafne, as the
couutshowed five quail and a pheasant
ainouir the three for the day s work,
while Mr. Hertzog toddled along under
twenty-five quail and four rabbits; and
as they sat «m the board pile at the

he remarked : .
" Ye see, gents, Ohl Residenter be'ant

( JI iix . Alleler in >cw York Weekly ]
' The Atkinsons have had a terrible
time over their baby. Mr. Atkinson
sent home a folding crib, with (lie slats
m. nie in two pieces and hunn upon
liing«s. When they open turn - crib
ami p. il the mattress in u Mr. Atkinson
it,Hilled lo tix securely the calcucs lliat
ho.d the slats. Mr. ami Mis. Atkinson
wein to bed early that iiijrnt, a». I about
11 o'clock, wliUe they were asleep, the
baby ji01 awake and bepiu to kick
j vlsroroiisly. Tiie result was that tnc
slats slowly descended and deposited
flu; mattress and baby on the floor,
'i'lie baby hem;;particularly wideawake,
crawled out into the room, and seeing a
hjrhr in the entry, went through the
door just as Mr. Atkinson's aunt, Miss
line's, was coining; up stairs to bed.
blie picked the baby up, and finding
that us father and mother were asleep,
she. catried it to her room in the third

was getting along. No sooner had she
j done so thau she jumped from the bed
I in alarm. The baby was not. there!
! The bottom seemed to have fallen out
•of the whole contrivance. Her first
thought was that the baby was lyinjr
under the inattiess smothered to death.
She pulled the mattress aside, but there
were no sijrns of the baby.
Then, wild with alarm, she shook Mr.
Atkinson, aud told him to get up. At
kinson giowled out, in a sleepy tone:
" The paregoric bottle is in the closet;
go and uet it yourself."
"Alouzo!" shrieked Mrs. Atkinson,
"'you don't understand. The baby is
jjoiic ! It is frone !—stolen !—kidknapped!
murdered, uiay-be ! Oh, what shall do?—
what shall i do ? "
" Now be calm, Julia," said Atkinson
getting out of bed: "don't get hyster
ical. The child, most likely, is under
the bed."
" No, it isn't ; no, it is not there ! " ex
claimed Mrs. Atkinson, upon her hands
and kuees.
" Possibly," said Atonza, beginning to
feel uneasy; "he has crept into the
closet ; let lis look."
" This is horrible !" said Mrs. Atkinson,
clasping her hands.
"Doyou think," asked Mr. Atkinson,
"that lie could have crawled into a
bureau drawer aud pulled it to after
liiiiiï"
"Certainly uot!"sai:l Mrs. Atkinson.
" You know lie couldn't."
*' 1 think 1 hear liiui now. He ha
fallen out of flu; window!" said Mrs
Atkinson, as a faint wall fl.iated tlj
I roui I he back aril.
"No, it's only Mrs. M isrruder's ca
yowiiiitf on the fence," replied Atkinson
as he closed the sasn. "Have >oe
looked iu tlie bath tub m the next room?
Perhaps he has gone to take a bath."
"Drowned!! know it ! I'm sure o
it !" yelled Mrs. Atkinson, rushing ml«
ill.- bath room.
" He's not here," said Atkinson.
" Could lie lia ve gone down stairs aim
fallen into the sug«r bucket iu tin
pantry ? "
" We mii't. search the whole house fo
him," said Mrs. Atkinson.
8o they b. g in ï lie liant. They looke
eveiy ivlieie. lu the dot lies-hamper, ii
the kitchen cupboard, in the parlor, ii
the pantry, aud even iu the cellar, bu
without avail.
" He, couldn't have gone up stairs,'
said Mr. Atkinson, "because he can'
ciimb the steps."
No; he must have been stolen ! Hi
" t) ,,,'t jrive way, Julia. Be calm,
will >ro at oijee for the police."
Mr. Atkinson dressed himself hurried
ly and dashed down stairs and out int.
the street. He met a policeman almost
at the door, and in frantic accents, laid
the case before him. The policeman
sounded an alarm and soou had six otliei
policeman at hand. They entered the
house and proceeded to examine the
fastenings. Eveiything was right, and
one of tin* policemen said:
" In my opiuion, the buglar is in the
house
yet."
" We'll go for him," said another. So
they drew their revolvers and proceeded
to search the building. Presently Mr.
Atkinson heard the report of a pistol in
the kitchen. He rushed down.
" I think I've killed him," said Police
man Jones, " Bring a light, quick !"
"And killed the baby, too! shrieked
Mrs. Atkinson.
" By George, I forgot about the baby,
said the officer.
Taen the light came, and they found,
that Policeman Jones had shot Iiis iloj;
which had followed him into the house.
Then Policeman Smith's pistol went ofl
accidentally, ami the bullet hit the
kitchen clock, which at ouce struck 981,
and the confusion aipl racket so tin
strung Mrs. Atkinson's nerves that she
went into hysterics and emitted succes
sive ye|l of a terrific character. This
brought Miss Bogirs dovyn from tlie
third story iu great alafiu.
" What on earth is the matter Î" she
called.
"Matter!" said Atkinson. "Don't
you know that burjrlars have broken
HH o the house aud stolen the baby f
Why, we've been having the awfulest
timu you ever heard of for the hut two
hours."
" Why, I 've got the baby np stairs
with me," said Miss Boggs; I ve had
Jiim all ui^rlir."
' You have Î " exclaimed the party iu
a breath.
" Certainly."
" D î you mean to tell nie, 0 asked At
kinson. with supernatural calmness,
" that that baby was qaietly asleep in

' "Yes."
Atkinson simp'y looked atVr. fell

pressions of his feeliu««. Mrs. Atkin

The policemen laughed and tilléd out.
Jones pullinii his deceased dog by tin
tail. Atkinson went to bed with rflgiug
augi r in his soul, a id tiie next moriiinu
he piit a sheet-iron bottom, fastened
with rivet s, ir on that folding crib.
A Hard Te st.
[Detroit t'reu frew.J
• Ten or a dozen men were enjoying
the hot weather which baked the shin
g'es on a ferry flock saloon yesterday,
w hen a stranger stalked ill and inquired
of the bir-tender;
" H î ve you any mint ï "
"Yes, sir," was the reply.
"Am! you have su-rir, lemons, gin,
brandy, and so forth ï 1
I Jiave."
The strenger turned around to thi
crowd, noted the sudden increase of
interest in each face, and kindly said :
"Gentlemen, I'm going to treat every
liar in this room. Let the liars—the
monstrous liars—come forward."
Not. a foot moved.
" Gentlemen." continued the stranger,
in a plaintive ton«', don't, be backward.
Juleps wait for all. Every one of you
is known as a liar will please stand up."
Not a man stood. The stranger's
face betrayed keen disappointment, as
beordere«! a rousing big "mint" for
himself, and not a word was spoken in
the place, while he slowly sipped the
cooling liquid through a straw, When
he had finished, he wiped off his mouth
and said: . ,
" WeJJ, every trnth-telier in tue crowd
will now stand up."
Each man stood up with the prompt
ness of a sol.dier.
"And sit down again,' softly saiu the
man, as he made for the door.
They would have sat down on him,
but great truth-tellers are poor runners,
Fattening Stock.
[I'rair.e r'ariucr ]
I One of the great difficulties in luing
jiligstock to full degree of fatness is
that they often break down in their
limbs through the excessive accumula
tion of tat. This is particularly notice
able in » wine, ami < specially when they
ate fed exclusively on Indian corn.
This may lie obviated in a great meas
ure by giving fattening animals a va
riety of food during thi* earlier stages ot
fattening, and finishing with corn.
Plenty of salt is also essential its office
; being, among oilier uses, to eliminate
fr« in the blood noxious principles. Very
j finely ground bone meal is als i used in
! the finishing stages of fattening iu
I con in ctioii with salt ami ashes.
Many persons are in the habit of mix
ing salt and ashes and also bone dust
regularly in the food given to stock, oi
else at stated intervals. This, however,
is objectionaole, since thus the stock are
obliged often to take an undue portion,
and in the latter case often at irregnlai
intervals. The better way is to keep salt
always where stock may take it at will.
The same may be said of wood ashes.
When a good variety of food is given,
stock will not requirec bone meal. In
fact it. is not altogether certain that her
bivorous animais will assimilate crude
bone though f î oui the fact that cattlc
are apt. to gnaw bones when they tiud
tlieni, it is altogether probable that i.
is digested. Swine, however, undoiited
ly do. Bone is composed of cartilage,
gelatin, fat and salts of litius magnesia,
soda and potash, combined with phos
phoric and other acids. There is no
reason why in a finely ground state it
may not beassiniilated even by herbivor
ous animals. Practice would seem to
show that it is. Hence the use of it in
fattening animals in particular cases.
\V lieu the animals are intended for the
shambles it is important that they have
bone enough to sustain them, it is es
pecially important that this be the case
in the show ring. To accomplish thi.
eud, while young they should be kepi
steadily growing. They must have
plenty of nitrogenous good. For young
animals there is nothing better iu con
nection with a flush pasture in summer,
than sound oats, bran and middlings ol
wheat flour mixed. In summer when
I lie pasture is flush they will eat bill
little. Iu wiutei they should have all
they will eat clean, but at this season
one-third of the feed may be corn meal,
or the. food may better be alternated
giving the oats crushed, the bran airf
middlings mixed, and the corn ground
to meal. All three of these may b.
mixed with cut hay or fed separately
iccordiug lo the ineansat hand. Indeed,
nany feeders, where grain is cheap
arefer to feed if whole. It is largely :
u itter in which the cost of grinding i
'oncerned.
While the plan given above for in ik
ni; animals fully lat will apply to all

Oné «lay last week the gray liars.* be
ataging to Pliill. Nippert, that had dorn
gootl service in his ice wagon, lo.-t a shoe.
Allowing that a shoe was needed tin
muse left his stable, marched np ti: Mc
Kinuey's blacksmith shop, where at the
time there were some flower-pots in the
door. The horse seemed to fear that iu
stepping over the flowers he might hurt
î hem, and gave a loud neigh to attrack
the uotic of the workers, who gave a
careless glance and went about their
work. But the horse wanted something
done, and neighed much louder than
before, when the obstruction was remov
ed aud the animal came in, held up his
foot and showed where the work ot a
liorse-shoer was needed, saying as plain
as a horse could say— "Pu ta shoe on."
The missing shoe was replaced, and the
animal put up his foot, took a critical
look, ga ve a nod, put his foot on t he floor,
stamped the newly-shod pedal extremity
two or three times, took a glance at the
shoer, aud if horse language could lie
translated would be—"That isagood job
thank you,'" and trotted out of the shop,
going to his stall at Ins master's stable^.
As the animal cantered off Jolmn Lake
laughingly remarked,"I'll hetthat horse
has twenty-five cent iu Iiis pocket-book
to pay for his shoe" This story may
seem an exaggeration, but can be proven
to lie true by a dozen credible witnesses.
The same animal during the "heated
term" hauled 4,pOO pounds of ice through
our pity.
