GORMAN'S
LITERAL.
Shelby Thought He Meant It, and the Hoe
Suffered.
The following is to take the place of tbe
George Washington hatchet story. It is
sent in with the assurance that it can be au
thenticated if Senator Cullotn denies it:
When be was a young man, before he
dreamed of listening senates or looked like
Lincoln, he was a farmer boy. One day in
August, when the blistering heat was
parching the crops, and even the dog fennel
Lung its head, young Cullora was on the
porch of the farmhouse trying to keep cool
and kill flies. The buss of tbe farm sat
on the far end of the porch dozing. He was
aroused by a passing neighbor, who called
out to him that a drove of hogs hod broken
into tbe watermelon patch back of the
bam. The watermelon crop was about all
that was left. The old farmer had had
some trouble witb his hogs before, and this
information aroused his religious nature
and shattered it.
"Shelby!" he roared at the young man.
, "Yes, sir," was the respectful reply.
"Take the shotgun and go down to that
melon patch and shoot every d d bog you
find. I'm getting tired of this. They bav
ruined everything on the farm, and now
they are into the melon patch. Hurry up.
The young man moved away, and the old
man resumed bis seat and again fell asleep,
The city reader probably needs to be in
formed that in the country, where there is
uo such thing as cold storage, the killing oi
a bog in August or at any time in hot
weather is like throwing away money. In
those days particularly there was no way
of curing pork In summer.
'An hour later young Shelby returned to
the house, put up tbe gun and resumed li
place on the porch. The old man, hall
asleep, opened one eye on him and asked in
a lazy manner:
"Well, kill 'emf"
"Killed seven, and two got away," was the
equally quiet response.
"What!" shrieked the old man, jumping
from his chair uud standing before young
Shelby in a rage. "You don't mean to tell
me that you killed seven of them hogs my
Poland Chinas this timeof year when they
are useless? You young Kapbeodf"
. "Yes, sir," responded young Shelby, witb
a meek obedience that reminds one of the
Washington hutchet story; 1 did as you
told me, sir; only I let two get away."
. The old tuan looked at him as he would
at a curiosity. His ruge quieted, and he sat
down on the floor of tbe porch and nursed
bis head for some time. After awhile k
called out quietly:
' "Shelby M.!"
''Yes, sir," was the response.
"Come here. You say you killed seven
OI them shouts lit tho niclou patch seven
shot 'em killed 'em doadr"
"Killed 'em dead," responded Shelby.
The old man looked at him, took off bit
big straw hat, fanned himself for a mo
ment and then said, with some solemn de
liberation:
"Well, Shelby M., I wish I may be d
If you ain't tbed -dest, most obcdlentest.
d d obliging farmhand that I ever bad
around. If you keep on mindin this way,
you'll be president some day."
"Thank you, sir," replied Shelby, who
went in the house to hide his blushes. Thi
old man looked after him and said to him
self:
' "I reckon he thinks I mean It. Still thii
is a of' a country for the fooL"
Exchange.

In days of yore the rivalry tint
existed between tbe Sunset Bise Bull
-lnb. of Arcbbald. and the Browns, of
Olypbant, was a thing to make any
base ball crunk happy, but not any
more, not any more. U tst Saturday a
remnant of the once famous Sunsets
came to our town with .the wild idea
that they would take our Browns into
camp. Shades of tbe departed Marty
Swift, et al. Did you see them? Why
we did not do a thiug with them. In the
olsence of our only ''Sonny" O'Hara we
found a young man named Morgans,
a gentleman with a wide outeurve and
a very deceptive drop. He is a young-
ster and a comer sure, and tbe way be
did make those Arch baldi ana fan the
atmosphere was a caution. Four com
mon, ordinary single hits, they got no
more, and be toyed with six of them
strong batters, just six and no more.
The game abounded in pretty play on
the Brown s side. As nsual when tbey
have a weak team against them, they
put up a game of ball thut is a revola
tion to J ess tip. The third Diss play or
Wheeler, tbe backstop work of Barry
aud the left field play of Gillhooly were
features, while at the but U-illbooly
was a terror. Four hits, a base on balls,
each one timely, is the record he takes
to bmoketown to night. At the seventh
inning Arcbbald gave up the gbost, and
taking a back street wandered to that
town of Culm Dumps, Marty Swift's
town, ye glorious Arcbbald. Below
will be fouud the score by innings:

Plonty of Good Material for Seamen, but

"Although seamen's wages and food
were never better than they are at present,
our youngatera do not take kindly to the
sea, and most of those who do go, after a
voyage or two, leavo it iu disgust," said
Captain Duncan McClean. "Tbe restraint
of discipline is irksome and often offensive.
Young America : too accustomed to hav
ing his own way ashore to bend to the way
uviuvbuer UJ0HC.
"Every ship must be a despotism, and no
matter how kindly it may be adminis
tered, the young, who have imbibed tha
idea that 'Jack is as good as bis muster,
Uo not relish tbe idea of inferiority. Tbe
worK at sea is not liard not near us hard
as most mechanical lubor and if a sailor
is economical ho can save more money than
he could us a mechanic.
"A single mun in our coasting trado can
save at least $230 a year. An able seaman
in the nuvy can do even better than tbis,
and have a 'good time,' for the work is
not hard, and even if taken sick ho does not
lose any pay, but hus the best of medical
attendance free. 1
"Most of oar deep wuter business is in
the California and European grain trade.
Our East India und China trade is carried
on by British steamers, manned of course
by British seamen, who must follow the
sea or starve, for they havo no other occu
pation. On the other hand, most American
seamen are 'jacks of all trades,' and if one
thing fails, they can turn their band to
another.
"Our merchant shipowners, as a rule, do
not wish to be bothered with the care of
apprentices, most of whom, by the time
they have acquired the use of their 'sea
legs, leave the sea.
"To man our navy we must enlarge our
apprenticeship system, for we cannot rely
on the mercantile marine in time of peace.
In a popular wur volunteers would come
forward faster than they would be required.
In a very short time our navy will be
manned by men who have been trained in
our schoolships, and who regard the navy
as their home for life.
"The men employed in our coasting trade
are steady and hardy, and most of them
have families, the responsibility of which
keeps them on their gond behavior. Many
of our fishermen, who iu a very short time
make excellent sailors, belong to the British
provinces of North America and become
citizens and settle amoniMis.
"We have plenty of good material out of
which to make seamen; all we require is to
systematize it. The more schoolships we
can have the better.
"When the advantage of ascafaringlife is
better understood there will be no difliculty
In procuring an ample supply of poor,
healthy boys to train for it. Tbe flogging
and starving of other days have ceased
afloat, und if men or boys will discharge
their duty faithfully they will find life at
sea pleasant and profitable.
"Most of the tulk about the hardships of
life at sea is nonsense. Mnuy an able me
chanic suffers more hardship and privation
looking for work than aseaniancnduresin
a whole life. The cowardly fear of being
drowned ought never be permitted to enter
tbe mind. Besides, drowning is the easiest
death a man can die.
"A boy who bos no higher ambition than
to be a laborer through life cannot do bet
ter than enter tho navy und never leave it.
In old uge he will have a pension, and in
the event of accident will be taken care of
liberally.
"A law might be passed for the encour
agement of the ambitious to present them
selves for examination for officers at cer
tain periods, but it iu well known that the
navy must train its own officers, for much
of their education at present is scientific
and unknown to merchant officers. The
old yarn that mest of our officers were
trained in the merchant service before they
entered the navy will not apply in this age
of dynomite, electricity and steam." Bos

Four Elements In Religious Snccess.
Four remarkablo elements of its struct
ure have added greatly to the rapidity of
tne success which the Salvation Army has
attained.
First The use which it has made of tho
energy and devotion of women.
Second Tbe immediate use to which the
Sulvation Army puts its converts. It rec
ognized the great and nation regenerating
truth that every Christian should be God's
missionary. Many of the wavering might
have been lost forever if they had not been
from the first taught and encouraged to
come out of their evil surroundings, and
boldly to take their side with God aud
with the work of f;ood.
Third Teaching men to give. At every
meeting of tho Salvation Army there is a
collection. Giving is usually declared to
be abhorrent to tho steady gifl.g Christian.
The offertory is supposed to frighten awuy
congregations from churches. The Salva
tionists havo better understood human
nature aud better exemplified tho spirit of
tbe early converts.
They have confidently mado their mis
sions self supporting, and have wisely
taught that acts of worship are most fit
tingly counccted with works of self denial.
That is how tbis sect of yesterday, started
by a discredited Methodist, litis succeeded
in raising a revenue of some 800,000 a year.
But, after all, the chief secret of the
growth of tho array has lain in the self
sacrifice a self sacrifice not short of hero
ismwhich it hns evoked in hundreds of
its votaries. Archdeacon Farrar in Har
per's.
