The causes of the accidents were varied: Stumbling, fence climbing oAroles-s loading, stacking guns against trees, heedless aims and Ipnorance that guns were loaded. In no case 's it reported that a hunter was mistak en for game, as often happens In the bigger hunting grounds of Mr.ine and tho Northwest.

Alluring Surroundings. A young limn who had Just gone to Phihidelphiii to take employment In a business house was casting ubout for a suitable room for himself lu Gcr mniitowii when he chanced upon one lu n fine house overlooking n ceme tery. He was n little doubtful about the terms mid more than doubtful about tho cemetery. "Your rate Is pretty high," he mur mured hesitatingly to the landlady. "But consider the cheerful view, sir," ventured the mistress of the house. "Cheerful view!" exclaimed Unit up pllcntit for lodgings. "Is that what you call n view that embraces a grave yard V "Why. certainly," was the response. 'Just think how comfortln' and cheer lu' It will be when you look out of your window mid think you're not there!"-Cliicinnntl Commercial Trib une. Blackburn's Eloquence. The story is told of tenntor Proctor of Vermont in reminiscences by Vice President Stevenson that w hen invited to go out of the senate chamber Just before the day's session began he re plied: "Excuse me. 1 am paired with Blackburn ou prayers." Wtieu the Iiev. Dr. Butler retired from the chaplaincy of the senate Blackburn's speech surpassed all others for ardor and felicity of expression. "The coun terpart of tho scene that followed his closing words had never been wit nessed In legislative assembly. All were In tears. It was even sold that venerable senators who had never shed a tear since the ratllicatlon of tho treaty of Ghent actually sobbed aloud and refused to be comforted. At length, amid silence that could be felt, nn ndiournment was effected, mid the senators passed out to their homes. As he passed the chair Senator est lu an uudertone remarked to tho vice presi dent. 'Joe never saw him.' "Wash ington Herald. Dog Law In Constantinople. 'When one of the street dogs of Con stantinople gets too old to be of use to the blind the captain dog decides that he is to die." says Albert Blgeiow Paine iu Humor's Weekly. "A day conies when the captain Issues an edict that he is no longer to have roou. From that day until his death not a morsel passes Ills lips. With longing eyes he looks at the others eating, hut he makes no m tempt to Join them. Now and again a bit of something falls his way. The temptation Is too strong he readies toward the morsel. The captain, who overlooks nothing, gives a low growl. The dying creature shrinks hack without a murmur. He knows the law. Perhaps he. too, was once a captain. The minister's wife told me that she had tried to feed one' or those dying dogs, but that even when food was placed lu front of him he would only look pleadingly at the captain and refuse to touch It "Window Leaves."
