Htisquelmnna, Ocf. 10. Sam Felton,
of the Cascade section, had a startling
experience near Gulf Summit on
"Wednesday night. He had attended a
political mectliiu at the Summit, and
on returning he had occasion to pass
through the dooryard of Farmer Gil
bert, .who was away from home. Pass
ing through the yard, Felton saw a
large wildcat in a tree. He was not
armed, but he at once made an attack
upon the cat by throwing stones into
the tree.
With a savage yell the beast sprang
from the limb and landed upon Fel
ton's shoulders and commenced to tear
his clothing and person fearfully. Sam
defended himself as best he could with
the means at hand, but was fast be
ing vanquished when there was a sud
den crash, and man and cat fell
through some rotten boards and Into
a well twenty feet deep. Felton was
partially stunned, but the wildcat fell
upon him and escaped injury. The cat
Immediately renewed the attack with
tooth and nail when Sam, with a su
preme effort, loosened a stone from the
well wall and clashed It upon the head
of the cat, crushing Its skull, and kill
ing it almost instantly.
Then Sam set up a lusty shout,
which was heard by some men who
were passing by In a wagon. They
procured some ropes and brought him
to the surface, where he was soon
given medical attention. He was bad
ly torn and lacerated, and his clothing
was in tatters. When next he attacks
a wildcat he will use a gun.

MISS BETTY MAYNE had been
back in Lindcnthorpe for a
week, and for a week Lindcn
thorpe had been shocked. MIs3
Mayne felt hurt. When sha
returned she had been homesick for
the sea and the seaboard folks, left be
hind when her aunt carried her up
to London years before; and friendli
ness was In her heart toward them.
Instead of receiving the same, she
had been met with envy nnd Jealousy
and all unchnrltableness. Partly It
was her fault, partly theirs. They
only remembered her as the Imp and
scapegoat of tho village, who played
on the rocks all day long with bare
feet, and they resented her grown-up
fashlonablllty. She could not help
realizing that sho was better dressed,
knew more of the world and was In
many ways a hundred years ahead of
Lindcnthorpe. Then, again, Mr. Silas
Attonborough, who always did the
right thing, and whose actions, accord
ingly, were viewed with an indulgent
eye. had seemed in dunner of dolus
' the wrong thing. "Moonstruck," Miss
Cirlggs declared him to be. And tle
Minx was not even fluttered.
It wan on Sunday that tho shock of
shocks occurred. To begin with, sev

Miss Betty Muyno walked In almost

youngest church warden LInUenthorpo
hod ever had rose in hla Sunday best
to show her to a place.
People were more delisted thun
surprised when Miss Muyne, after fun
nlni; herself ostentatiously for sointi
time, rosu and stalked out of church
by the front door, Such behavior wan
tu be expected from u Minx, It was
what followed that left Llndonthorpo
resigned to anything ehort of an earth
quake. Miss Mayne wandered down
toward the beach in a pensive mood
and tool; a seat on u bit of sand

ONE THING IMPOSSIBLE.
Former Senator Edmunds Points It
Out to a Foreigner.
George F. Edmunds, for many years
a notable leader among American
statesmen, and for a quarter of a cen
tury United States senator from Ver
mont, is quietly rounding out his long
llfeho Is now over 70 in a fine home
in the neighborhood of the famous Rlt
tenhouse square, in Philadelphia, re
lates the Saturday Evening Post. He
has a. genial manner, and a certain
humor which his friends think very
delightful, and this humor ho quietly
indulges In expressing unexpected
ideas.
He likes to visit Washington occa
sionally, and to see again the scenes
of his many triumphs.
He wns visiting the capltol recently
in company with a distinguished for
eign visitor who was traveling exten
nlvely In the United States. After the.
ex-senator had shaken hands with his
former colleagues of the senate and
had Intioducod the foreign visitor he
escorted him out to the portico of the
capltol, upon which tho old Congres
sional library opens. The visitor was
admiring tho fine view of the city from
that point and was led to speak of
the cities of the country and the great
capabilities of our people. He was full
of enthusiasm about what he had seen,
and exclaimed:
"It seems to me that nothing Is Im
possible In America!"
"Oh, yes, there is something impos
sible," said Mr. Edmunds, glancing up
the broad expanse of Pennsylvania
avenue, upon which were visible a
brass band and a- dusky, moving
throng.
The visitor shook his head in vigor
ous dissent.
"What can possibly be impossible?"
he asked.
"Why," replied Mr. Edmunds with
a twinkle, "to march a band of music
up that avenue and have the negroes
march the other way."
ELECTRICAL GUN.
Three Thousand Shots a Minute
Without Heating the Barrel.
from the London Times.
Our Newcastle-on-Tyne correspon
dent Informs us that a machine gun
of a novel character has been in
vented by Mr. James Judse, a we'l
known engineer of Newcastle, who
thus describes it: "The gun is a pat
ent centrifugal quick-firing muchlu?
gun; it Is five feet high and weighs
about live hundredweight. It is in
tended for a battleship, earthworks
and garrison purposes. The motive
power is electricity, transmitted to a
motor causes a disk to revolve at a
very high rate of speed. The bullets,
which are introduced into the interior
of the disk at the axle, travel along
curves in the Interior to the circum
ference and are there impelled through
a barrel. It is claimed that this disk
will rotate, under the influence of the
motor, at tho rate of 12,000 revolutions
a minute, and will eject shots from
the muzzle of the gun with an initial
velocity of 2,000 feet per second. One
of the chief characteristics of tho gun
is 'that it will maintain a continuous
fire. If necessary, a shot may be dis
charged every half revolution, but in
practice one shot every fourth revo
lution will be found sufficient. The1
bullets nre sperlcal and measure 3-16
inch in diameter.
The following are the results of the
ABOUT
ion might bo. A church warden Is)at
liberty to differ on a question like this,
and Mr. Silas Attenborough, as he
walked from church down to the sea,
and 'saw the Minx on her rock, dlflercd
in toto from Miss Griggs. He felt a
desire to rebuke the Minx for her con
duct In church that morning, but was
It wise to venture to the rocks? He
was In his Sunday clothes, and not
very sure of foot among slippery
weeds. Nevertheless, his sense of duty
being strong, Mr. Attenborough cross
ed the rublcon and at length reached
the sandstone rock. The Minx nodded
to him. "I saw you In church this
morning," sho said.
"I zee you," said Mr. Attenborough,
ginvely,
"It was very funny," she went on.
"Tho very first thing I noticed was
a chalk mark on your coat from lean
ing against tho pillars, and 1 do, be
llovo you've got it on still."
This was hardly the conversation Mr.
Attenborough had pictured to himself,
and he tubbed the chalk away before
replying,
"It seemed you left church avore the
sermon ?"
"Dieadfully ventilated, Isn't It?" she
said, nodding, "i really wonder people
don't get sulteated sometimes."
"It were a powerful sermon."
"Short ones always are, I think, Or
did you coine after me before It was
finished "
"Come after?" Mr, Attenborough
was taken aback. He had hurriid,
cortululy; but ho hud. hardly expected
the Minx to notice that,
"Coom after avore t' serinou was fin
ished?" He recovered himself Indig
nantly, t shouldn't think oft. But"
"You didn't epeet to seu ine hero?"
.Sieo the Minx sat on a rock In full
view of fho shore, '.Mr. Attenborough
evaded what seeinpcl a fruitless Ques
tion, "It's agreeable by t' sea, here avore
dinner?" he remarked, f
"Tho same, as over," she said "all
Llndcnthorpe's the same as over tio
sea and tho villa'go und the folks. They
might have, slept and never waked
since the (lay I left sVyen years ago.
Oh!" she roused herself to sudden ani
tests already made with the gun: 18,
000 rounds of shot at 4he rate of 8,000
a minute have been discharged from
(he Run, Those shots consisted of
nickel steel, some of brass Ju used
in France), lend, nnd chilled motat.
It. was tested seven times privately
no motor was used, nor is ono yot
attached to the gun, although tho gun
Is cpnstrueted for nn electric motor.
The tests were made by means of a
bolt driven by a steam engine. Under
these conditions the velocity required,
and which it !? malntajncd an electric
motor will produce, wns not, of course,
attained, but tho practical working of
the gun was fully1 demonstrated, A
long range could not be had because
of the necessity of secrecy, and the
testing was done in a covered shed at
Dlyth dry docks. 4 steel target, 3-32
inch thick, was shattered, the disk
of the gun revolving at a speed of
2,600 revolutions per minute. Front
the penetration of the turget It Is cal
culated that at a distance of 400 yards
a penetration of a similar character
will be effeoted of a plate 7-1 6 inch
thick under the Influence of an elec
tric motor. There Is no ..heating of
the barrel of the gun, nccausei of the
continuous stream of cold air which
is Impelled through It by the turning
of the disk. The disk Itself is also
free from heating on account of ths
special bearings on which it Is con
structed. These bearings are a highly
complicated mechanical contrivance,
and are similar to those used in Par
sons' turbines, which can revolve at
the rate of 22,000 revolutions a minute,
and LevauVs motor, which revolves at
the rate of 30,000 revolutions a minute.
To test tho gun thoroughly It will be
necessary to affix a motor, which wilt
he a five horse-power motor coupled
direct on to the shaft.
DEFENDS THE GRAND JURY.
It Is a Shield of Protection, Says
Judge Yerkea.
A remarkable charge to the grand
Jury was delivered by Judge Yerkes
recently at the opening of the Bucks
county court. Concerning the Jury sys
tem Judge Yerkes had this to say:
"In my humble judgment there Is no
movement more deserving of the care
ful watchfulness of the citizen than
that which occasionally reveals its
purpose to strike down the Jury sys
tem from Us Influential participation In
tho adjudication of personal rights and
business differences and to confer on
courts composed of lawyers alone an t
unmixed and uncontrolled power to ad
judicate the dearest rights alike to the
lowest and the highest citizen. That
the attacks come from sources en
titled to the highest respect and of
consequent great influence, should ex
cite Increased vigilance. The grand
jury stands as a shield of protection
between the power and oppression of
authority and the helplessness of
simple citizenship, thereby strengthen
ing the institutions of free government.
The abolition of the grand Jury will
leave the accused citizen no security
against the prejudice or mistakes of
an unjust or unwise judge or district
attorney, or possible contrivances and
falsehoods of the unscrupulous prose
cutor and cunning lawyer.
"Of course, the grand jury, when
placed In leading strings and locked
in a room with a district attorney'
officer, without a disposition to assert
its prerogatives, 'te a useless appendage
to the court. But In times of great
public peril, or In presence of deep
seated and long neglected abuses, long
er unendurable by the people, when no
private prosecutor dare take the re
sponsibility alone of initiating proceed
ings, the divided, yet powerful, and
also combined, responsibility of the
secret session of the grand Jury, acting
honestly and Independently, has work
ed out great problems of reform and
conectlon, and when has this sreat
power been abused by a grand jury?"
'TO A GOOD SOLDIER.'
Remarkable Tribute of Richard
Harding Davis to Private Brass.
From the Saturday Evening Post.
That Mr. Richard Harding Davis
knows how to gain tho good will of
soldiers is shown by an incident that
occurred while he was correspondent
with the army about to sail for Cuba.
Massachusetts troops had had their
first death that of a young man
named Wcslle A. Brass.
Mr. Davis was anxiou-j to pay some
A MINX
mation "but I'd like very much to
shock them!"
"Shock 'em?" said Mr. Attenborough,
aghast.
"Shock you all because I detest peo
ple who ran bo shocked. And if I
knew for certain that I detested Lln
denthorpe I'd be content to leave it and
never see it again." She sank back
against the rock.
"Would you now?" said Mr. Atten
borough, astonished.
She nodded. "It's quite true," she
said.
"I don' think I'm easy to shock," he
said, guardedly,
"You?" she shook with laughter,
"You? Why, you were shocked In
church this morning. You'd be shocked
If I were to push you into 'that pool;
you're shocked now at hearing me sug
gest such a thing,"
"T' church Is different," remarked he,
hastily edging from the pool, "But out
of t' church I'm not easy f shock."
"You think so?"
"Solemn trewth," said Mr. Attenbor
ough, decidedly.
'"Perhaps you're right," she said.
"But," sho pointed a finger toward the
shore, "Is that Miss Griggs over there?"
He followed tho direction of her fin
ger, and saw that most of the congre
gation were assembled in groups about
tho Hhore,
'"Tls Indeed," ho groaned; "uu' Miss
Chiflln and t' whole Sunday school
watching us, I think that we shud be
getting back."
"Don't let me keep you," she said,
"It Is not keeping me. 'Tls only"
lie looked about him for an excuse.
"Zip mo! T' sea"
"What do you mean?"
'"J." sen!" said Mr, Attenborough.
"It'3 como up"
Sho spiang to her feet In great In
dignation; "Till; comes of your tulklng. Why
couldn't you keep your eyes open
what U to be done?"
"Could yow wade?" suggested Mr,
Attenborough, apologetically, Ho knew
nothing of the rocks and what depths
cut him off from the shore, Only he
remembered that In old days the Imp
of the village knew every Inch
mark of respect to tho memory of
this young soldier,
He wanted flowers and out Into the
siln he tramped, From place to place
he went, but not a flower wns to be
had. For two- hours he kept Up his
search, but money could not buy a
blossom. He was told, however, that
eight miles away, at a lake side, he
might get some.
Along tho single main street of
Lakeland the petty shopkeepers were
dozing through their noon hours; no
one was abroad who did not positively
have to be: but out Into the (blistering
heat Mr. Davis started away on horse
hack for a. sixteen-mile trip. He
found the flowers, brought thorn back,
protecting them as carefully us pos
sible from the heat of the sun, and
then, with his own hands, he made a
simple cross of laths and tied them
on,
He still needed some colors. A flag
was not to be had. Front store to
store he tramped, waking up the pro
prietors, till ho got some red, white
and blue ribbon, and that night his'
tribute, a rude-shaped, flower-covered
cross, tied with the ribbons, lay upon
the "casket In the clapboarded church.
He remained in town for the burial,
and when another service was held,
a week later, in tho boy's home town,
Mr Davis' tribute, "To a Good Sol
dier," lay, faded and battered, upon
the casket, and later was placed on
ttie grave.
SHOWED HER SHREWDNESS.
How a Woman Illustrate. Her Devo
tion to Economy.
She was the wife of an official of a
St. Paul street corporation. Her one
pet hobby was economy. Though her
husband made an excellent salary, she
was rigid In her rules pertaining1 to
the buying of tho necessaries for the
household. Sho would haunt bargain
counters and market stalls for hours
in order to get tho benefit of a reduc
tion of a few cents on the article de
sired. ,The corporation official, with much
laughter, used to tease his better half
about what ho called her "stinginess."
So one day, feeling hurt at his ridicule,
sho resolved to take him to market
with her, and demonstrate beyond a
doubt that she was a most economical
buyer. Ho consented, stipulating that
he was not to be asked to carry the
basket.
Arriving at the market, she made
several purchases, and then at one stall
Inouirsd the price of eggs.
"What!" she exclaimed; "16 cents a
dozen? No, indeed, that is too high."
She dragged her reluctant husband
after her from one stand to another,
still Inquiring the price of eggs, 'and
always receiving the same answer, un
til the upper end of the market. Here
she found a-dealer who offered to sell
her eggs in any quantity for 15 cents.
To her husband she said joyously:
"There, I told you so. Why, those
others were robbers."
Turning to the salesman, she ordered
half a dozen eggs, gravely handed him
the 8 cents asked In payment, and
went home, prattling away about tho
worth of economy in marketing, and
the alleged willingness of dealers to
gouge the unsuspecting customer. And
to this day she does not know that her
husband and his friends laughed over
it at the club.

AVOID TRAILING SKIRTS.
For They Collect All Kinds of Dead
ly Disease Germs.
From the Spiinetleld HepublitJii.
Dr. Casagrandi recently read a paper
on the danger of trailing skirts before
a medical association at Rome. He
stated that ho had employed a number
of women, wearing long skirts, to walk
for one hour through tho streets of the
... .
"Wade? In my best things?" Her
scornful tone made hjm feel more at
fault than ever.
"P'raps they'll send a boat." he said.
"After we're drowned?"
"P'raps I could take yew over to th'
shore?"
"See how deep it Is first," sho said,
imperiously.
He let himself down gingerly, and
the water closed over the knees of his
best trousers.
"Think vew would lolke to be car
ried?" Jie asked, dolefully, stretching
out his arms for her to hurry. But she
kept him there while sho struggled to
hide her laughter, and then said
threateningly;
"If you drop me, I skull never for
give you"
"And It I doan't drop yew?" said he.
"Lindcnthorpe never will."
"Coom!" ho said. And at that she
let him tako her Into his arms, Tho
folk of Llndenthorpo on the beach
were taking much Interest In the pro
ceedings. "The Minx!" said Miss
Gtiggs; "did you ever?" The church
waiden was splashing through pools
of water, regardless of his appearance,
and only careful to protect the affected
burden In his arms. Mof of Linden

"Shall I set yew doon?" he asked,
"No," sho said, "jt's damp I should
wot my shoes. Carry mo right up to

Ho breathed hard, not because of her
weight, which was nothing, but be
cause of the publicity of thu thing.
"Whom be I cauylng?" he ashed,
"Be I currylns ma Biveetheurt?"
"If you will," she said, .stormed by
his unexpected boldness. He put wv

her head archly at the church warden.

Jonas Long's Sods
city, and after their promenade was
over, he had taken their skirts and
submitted them to a careful bacteriolo
glc examination. He found on each
skirt large colonies of noxious germs,
including' those of Influenza, tuberculo
sis, typhoid fever nnd tetanus. Numer
ous other bacilli were also well reore
sented on each skirt. Dr. Casagrandi
maintained that in view of these facts,
women, and especially mothers, should
at once stop wearing long skirts, and
the other members of the congress un
hesitatingly expressed the same opin
ion and passed a resolution to this ef
fect. That women should willingly sub
ject themselves to the filth, to say
nothing of the possible dangers of trail
ing skirts, has long been a wonder to
sensible people who are acquainted
with bacteriology. For street wear
they certainly cannot be considered In
ajiy sense either cleanly or hygienic.
However, we cannot expect reform In
this matter until those who set the
fashions can be Influenced, for women
aro bound to be In the fashion regard
less of any ordinary considerations.
There is some encouragement in the
fact that at present bicycle skirts nnd
golf skirts arc liu vogue, and we hope
they will become still more popular,
for while we arenot nware that any
previous scientific Investigations have
been undertaken In this line any well
Informed medical man could have
readily predicted the results of such
Investigation.

make the slightest dir "
