X French colonel pondoronsly declared
that the depopulation of France would

patting any sucii limitation on tnar

over the absolute freedom of onr own
beloved country, as this was evidently
not .a case of the prohibited degrees,
and finally the discussion bid fair to de
generate into a serious disputo, when
the author of this turmoil mildly sug
gested that as yet no man had after his
death tukeu any interest in any of his
widow's female relatives, which put a

"Fifty years or mora ago," remarked

rious points along the shore. Sometimes
we sold for cash, but oftn we traded
for country produce and shipped it on
to Mow Orleans or sold it in the larger
towns. One of onr leading articles was
Whisky, and we sold and traded a tre
mendous lot of it to the thirsty at ovory
point we landed. After wo had been out

got the liquor and we got tho dog. We

A ntilnta FiMsenti Oreat Curiosity.
Aleck had tho oddest experienoo of the
whole hunt at tho saiuo water hole a few
weeks afterward. Ho hud crawled on a
bunch of seven and was lying whero I
was when I shot my buck. Ho was
waiting for them to feed together so
thnt ho could get a better shot, nnd
whiln lying there thoughtlessly kicked
up Ills heels like a little boy. Tho aute
lopo had inado no sign that they had
suspoeted anything wrong, but they saw
his heels waving hack and forth, nnd
instantly ail was commotion. Ho drop
ped his heels very suddenly and lay
there confounding his stupidity, when
ho noticed that the whole bunch was
moving np toward tho spot where thoso
mysterious things had been seen. Ho
understood it nt once. His heels mndn a
new kind of Hag, and ho was not slow
to act on the suggestion. Ho waved them
again, nnd again tho antelopes stopped
to gaze at the curious black things mov
ing slowly back nnd forth np there on
tho ridge. When tho hoots dropped out
of sight again, tho nntclopc, impelled
by their fatal curiosity, moved nearer to
them. So they kept it up until the
bunch was not 75 yards away. Present
ly ho got two of them in range, and
drawing a tine sight ho fired, and they
both fell. The others heeled like tho
wind and wero off over tho rldgo, but
not before another bullet cut down a
buck. Outing.
Uol! From Cremated Itnt.
It is said to bo a common practice for
tho boys in watch and jewelry factories
to kill tho rats that infest tho buildings
and burn their bodies to obtain the gold.
Many oiled rugs are used in burnishing
watch cases, and in time they become
impregnated with gold. Tho rats eager
ly devour thoso rags, and a few months
of this kind of diet fills tho interior
mechanism of tho ruts with u gold
plating. Twieo a year tho boys havo a
grand cremation. Tho rats are caught by
the hiiudrods nnd burned in a crucible.
Tho intense heat drives off all iiuimal
substances nnd leaves tho gold in tho
tthupo of a button. Tho amount of the
precious mutal obtained in this way is
not large, but it gives the ingenious
youngsters considerable pocket money.

rook play, Louis Paulsen's preference
for bishops was strongly marked, and
Winawer plays his knights with con

expected sacrifice of one of his pawns
leads np to a break through the center,
