LAVERTY DISCOVERS
BUCK WAS SPEED!
Hollow-Ankled Deer Almoat Got
Away from Crack Adirondack
Hunter's Gun
HAD AIR CELLS IN ITS LEGS
Noted Markman Had to Walt Until
Leaves Fell for His Annual Shot,
but Is Amply Repaid for the Long
Delay.
Hunter's Home, Adirondacks, N. Y.
James Laverty, or "Mr. Jim," as he
is known In this tremendous neck of
woods, has sot his annual buck of
course. This one, the biggest and
fattest deer shot on the mountainside,
with the exception of that killed on
the jump by Helen Mlddloton of At
lantic City on the opening day of the
season, gave him a shock when he
skinned it
"Mr. Jim" would have got his buck
long ago If it had not been for "Mrs.
Jim." There being more hunters than
deer here on the opening of the sea
son, she would not permit her hus
band to' go hunting for that buck un
til most of the leaves had fallen, thus
-educing the danger of having her
helpmate shot by mistake, to a mini
mum. Therefore It was that Jim
watched the frost and the early show
er of leaves closely. Those who don't
know him thought his expression of
delight at the beautiful coloring along
the mountain slope following the first
heavy frosts was from his pure love
of nature beautiful. But those who
have seen his restiveness along about
this time of year knew he was wait
ing for the leaves to fall, so that his
wife would let him go hunting.
It seemed safe enough on last Sat
urday, and with the permission of
"Mrs. Jim" he shouldered his repeat
ing shotgun .and started along the
miles of slope toward the John and
Fred Mllholland place, several miles
awuy toward the wildest of the wilds.
For, like the real hunter who always
is careful of the lives and rights of
others, he hunts deer with buckshot
not that he is in fear of missing with
a rifle, but that a rifle bullet travels
so fast and far no one knows where it
Is going to stop, especially when Im
pelled from one of the modern high
power guns.
Confident of her husband, "Mrs.
Jim" stood long and patiently In the
chill air in front of the famous Hun
ter's Home. Then came re-echoing
from the mountainside, mellowed by
distance, the unmistakable roar of
Jim's gun.
i "Well, he got him," she remarked
serenely, for be it known that Jim
never shot a doe, and never missed a
luck.
But this buck was a curiosity, as
Laverty learned when skinning It, for
it had no "horseshoe" nail, or "tooth
pick" In either front ankle It is
called ankle for lack of any other
name to express exactly where this
'"bone nail" Is located. Just above
the deer's hoof, where the pulse would
"be in a human, there Is an unattached
hone, the perfect shape of a horseshoe
jiall, lying snugly between the ten
dons, head down. This "nail," with
the bunch of muscles Is Nature's pro
vision to prevent a deer from break
ing Its front legs In jumping It acts
as a sort of rubber cushion to ease
the shock.
In looking for this nail to-day, to
add to his trophies, Laverty was
amazed to find they were missing from
both ankles. Instead, there was a
marked hollow, a perfect air cushion
that was "Just as good" so far as sav
ing the buck from broken legs was
concerned.
"No wonder he started away from
mo like an aeroplane at sixty miles an
hour," said Laverty.

A SPARKPROOF SMOKESTACK.
Ciinple Devlco Which May Save Mil
lions In Timber.
A sparkproof smokestack has been
Invented which promises relief to the
forest fire fighters If it should be
adopted by railroads traversing forest
regions.
After being tested for some tlmo on
a Kentucky railroad, says the Techni
cal World, it was demonstrated that
not a spark escaped from the stack.
So well does the Forestry Department
at Washington think of this ingenious
invention that it has asked the New
York State Public Service Commission
to compel all railroads In the State
to equip their locomotives with the
new stack.
The principle which led to the in
vention of the sparkproof stack Is
that all solids emerging from a loco
motive smokestack, Influenced by the
pressure of the exhaust, hug closo to
the edge of the pipe and only the
smoke comes up through the centre.
In this new stack a simple trap
catches the sparks and cinders at
the edgo of tho circle and sends them
falling down shutes arranged on either
side of the stack to the roadway be
low.
How to Shoot with a Revolver.
To begin slghttng along the barrel
of a slx-shootcr, as in target gallery
practice, is a handicap to the man
who wants to learn the art at Its best
The hand and eye, of course, work
together with all weapons and In all
combats; but there Is a difference be
tween the eye-general and the eye
particular. The best form of boxing
or fencing that Is what the use of the
six-shooter means. You point your
fist or your foil instinct You cannot
help pointing your finger directly and
straight at any object, no matter how
hard you try. Yet surely you do not
sight down your finger. In the best
work with the six-shooter, you point
with the barrel just as you point with
your finger, or really, you point with
your wrist and forearm, and the six
shooter Is the finger of your wrist, the
lengthening of your arm. That Is the
theory and creed of the six-shooter.
Outing.
Speak Kindly.
A man was once saved by a very
poor boy from drowning. After his
restoration he said to him:
'What can I do for you, my boy?"
"Speak a kind word to me some
time," replied the boy, the tears gush
ing from his eyes. "I ain't got a
mother like some of them."
A kind word! Think of it. This
man had It in his power to give the
boy money, clothes, playthings, but
the little fellow craved nothing so
much as a kind word now and then.
If the man had ever so little heart
the boy must certainly have had the
wish granted. A kind word! You
have many such spoken to you daily,
and you do not think much of their
value; but that poor boy In the vil
lage, at whom everybody laughs,
would think that he had found a treas
ury if some one spoke a kind word to
blm.
A Llghtless Lighthouse.
On a sunken reef 350 feet distant
from Stornoway lighthouse Is a re
markable beacon which warns mari
ners with the help of a light which
is only apparent The beacon Is a
cone of cast-iron plates, surmounted
with a lantern containing a glas3
prism. The prism derives Its light
from refracting rays emitted from the
lighthouse, and the optical delusion is
marvelous. Mariners naturally sup
pose that there is a lighted lamp on
the beacon itself and many of them
will not believe otherwise. But the
object of the beacon is attained when
the navigator sees the reflected light,
which indicates the perilous rock be
low. This beacon has been In use
more than half a century, and since It
was fixed in position others have been
placed In other neighborhoods to
make clear points of danger. Techni

Why Foam Is White.
"How white the foam Is," said the
pretty girl, in a voice muffled by the
sable stole drawn across her red
mouth. "Yet the sea Is green. Why,
then, isn't the foam green?"
But the young sophomore laughed
in derision of such Ignorance.
"Gee, you are Ignorant!" he said.
"Beer Is brown, but its foam Is white,
too. Shake up black Ink and you get
white foam. Shake up red ink and
the result is the same.
"A body that reflects all the light
It receives without absorbing any is
always white. All bodies powdered
into tiny diamond form, so that they
throw back the light from many
facets, absorb none of It and are white
by consequence. Powdered black
marble, for Instance, Is white. And
foam is water powdered Into these
small diamonds, and hence its white
ness." Philadelphia Bulletin.
How He Found Them Out.
A shopkeeper, the head of a large
firm, one evening, after business
hours, caused bis saleswomen to be
assembled before him.
"There are among you," he said to
them, "several Individuals whom I
know to be guilty of theft from our
establishment. I havo the names of
every one of tho culprits, but I nelth
er wish to mention them here nor to
band them over to the police. Mean
while my firm cannot continue to em'

you whom it may concern not to en

SUGGESTIVE QUESTIONS
On the Sunday School Lesson by

Paul on Self Denial. (World's Tem
perance Lesson.) Rom. xlv: 10-21.
Golden Text It is good neither to
eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any
thing whereby thy brother stumbleth.
Rom. xlv: 21.
Verses 10-13 Is the Bible a book of
rules In any sense, or is it a book of
principles only?
Principles never change, but may a
good rule under one condition become
n bad one under another? Qlve ex
amples. There was a controversy In the
church at Rome between the Gentile
and the Jewish believers about meats
and days; but in the eyes of God was
it in any sense a moral issue, as to
which were rlsht. those who observed
certain days and retrained from 'cer
tain kinds of meat or those who es
loomed all days alike and ate all kinds
of meat fit for food?
Did one Christian in Rome have any
right to impute sin to another Chris
tian, who belioved and, therefore, act
ed differently In the matter of moats
and days, to what the objector's con
science would allow him to act?
Does this commandment not to
Judge, forbid us forming an opinion
concerning any doubtful action of our
brother; and if not what does it for
bid? .
To-day one party In the church
thinks that renting pews Is wrong, an
other that any kind of games In the
church parlors are wrong, while others
think quite the opposite on these mat
ters; now has either party any right
to "judge" the other party to be guilty
of moral wrong?
What should be both the constrain
ing and the restraining influence with
us. In all matters of conduct? (v:12.)
Verse 14 Does God morally esti
mate actions In themselves or the mo
tives which prompt the actions?
Give an exan.ple of how it Is possible
that one man may do a thing and
please God, while another may do the
same thing and commit sin.
How many outward actions can you
think of that are always wrong under
all circumstances?
Verses 15-16 --If your neighbor is
very 111 aud your singing and piano
playing hurts him, and you refuse to
deny yourself the pleasure of singing
and playing, what kind of a person
are you?
If you enjoy and drink your glass
of wine, when you know wine drink
ing Is doing vastly more harm than
good, what sort of a person are you?
To what extent should I deny my
self nny pleasure the gratification of
which hurts my neighbor?
No sensible parent, will allow any
thing in his family, however good It
may be In Itself, If It proves to be In
jurious to the children, should he or
not apply the same principle to his
neighbors?
Verse 17 Should our chief thought
be given to the needs of the body or
of the soul?
What does tho Kingdom of God pre
eminently stand for?
What, In the last analysis, is the
real wealth of tho Individual, the fam
ily, the community and the nation?
Can the highest good be enjoyed if
the Holy Spirit Is not recognized as Its
source?
Verses 18-20 What do we need to
be, In order to be pleasing to God and
to good men?
Verse 21 If we deny ourselves
things we enjoy, for the sake of others,
what Is the effect upon ourselves, and
do we' get as much, or more, out of
the self denial as we would out of
self gratification? (This question
must be answered In writing by mem
bers of the club.)
If all who drink wine ,ln modera
tion, would obey the principles of self
denial in this verse, how long would it
be before we should have total prohi
bition of the liquor traffic?

8ELF-H EATING IRON.
Charcoal In Body of Utensil Keeps It
Always at Same Heat.
From across the seas comes an un
usually useful Invention In the form
of a self-heating Iron, evolved by a
German brain. It will be understood
at once that this Iron does Its work
In a neat and orderly manner. The
top of the Iron la hinged to form a
lid and across the bottom of the In
terior Is a grating on which charcoal
Is to be burned. This method of heat
ing Insures the utensil being alw.iy3
at a temperature that fits it for use
and there is no danger of dirt of any
sort accumulating on the bottom. In
addition to doing Us work clean, the
Will not Soil Clothes.
new Iron has the advantage of being
without offensive odor, the small
amount of charcoal required to heat it
causing no unpleasant smell. The
time saved In having an Implement
with which ironing can be done stead'
lly, without waiting to heat an iron or
exchange it for another on the stove,
can readily be appreciated. Then,
too, the risk of toiling tho clothes Is
eliminated.
Use of Celery Leaves.
Do not throw away celery leaves,
Cut both stalks and leaves from a
bunch of celery, boll until quite soft,
then take two or three tablespoonfuls
of flour, stir It Into one quart of boiled
milk; chop the celery leaves and
stalks quite small; stir Into the milk,
add a llttlo butter, season to taste,
This Is a very nourishing food for In
valids, also It Is a very good remedy
for dyspepsia. The white lower part
of the celery can be used tor salad
after the tops are cut off, so this Is
really a most economical dish. It Is
so light and nourishing that it mokes
an excellent meal for children.
Various lses for Lemons.
Lomon juice will cure a sore throat
If the throat 1b gargled with It.
A cloth soaked In lemon juice and
