ITWAS A GREAT SHOT

REUBEN PETTIBONE’S SON A CREDIT TO HIS FATHER.

The Man From Over Sinnamahoning Way Tells of the System He Employed In Sud- den'ly ead Simultaneously Kiliing a Bear,

® Buck and Two Pheasants.

“The peculiar success that attended my

cemarkable father, Reuben’ Pettibone, as ehunter,’’ said the man from over Sinna- mahoning way, ‘‘was due to his marvelous tnowledge of the anatomical structure of wild beasts as much as to his unerring skil! as a mmarskman.

**It isn’t enough to know,’ he used to say, ‘just where a deer’s heart is located in the animal's body or the exact spot in the interior of a bear where the kidneys lie

snugly ensconced and then to be able to sock a bullet there if you want to be sure of your game. Not byany means. A deer wili go a mile easy enough with a bullet In its heart before it will drop, and you “g may plug a hole clear through a bear’s 4 kidneys, and yet he will hump himself x and get far out of your reach in a laurel

patch before he finds out that he js a goner. You may get the deer after a good deal of trouble and suspense, bat yeu'll pever get the bear. The safest «nd only profitable way to hunt, to say nothing of being mer- ciful to your beast, is to kill your game dead where it stands or where it runs. Thus, always sever a ventricle of a deer’s beart when you shoot, and sll you have to do then is to walk up and skin the deer. Never skirmish around to draw bead on a bear's kidneys. Separate the spinal cord at the neck with your bullet and the bear will dic in the middle of a breath.

“**Everybody knows,’ my remarkable father used to say, ‘that if you shoot the head off a pheasant as it swoops like the wind through the thicket, the pheasant will drop dead. Of course it will, but then a0 see what a shocking looking thing the “ dead bird is with its ragged, bloody, head- ae! | less neck. Beheading your pheasant thus "3 ts crvel. Justa the base of the bird’s a _sCDAAL, below *he eyes, is a bunch of nerves.

'_ A endden shock to those nerves will kill c the bird instantly. Direct your rifle ball . as the bird takes wing, so that it will whiz .* over that bunch of nerves so close that if it was a hair closer it would break the skin. A stroke of lightning couldn’t drop * that bird any quicker than the concussion of that passing bullet will. Remember this, my son,’ Reuben Pettibone used to say, ‘and never waste, pain or mummix your game.’ " ‘© Praxiteles,’ my remarkable father 2 nsed to say,‘ never waste, pain or mum- “ mix your game. Let anatomical know}l- uy edge go hand in hand with knowing how ; to shoot. ‘hen, if you keep your powder dry, you'll tumble things tremendous.’ And I followed his advice, and I have tumbled things, I take it. Indeed I have, but of all the tumbling of: things lever did nothing ever reflected more credit on my remarkable father than a neat bit of tumbling I did once down on the lower Sinnamahoning. I claim no credit for it for myself. It was neat indeed, but far be it from me to say that I ever would have thought of doing it if it had not been for the precept and example of Reuben Petti- bone. Never!

“Of all the multitndinous things I have tumbled I have seldom gone out with vengeance in my heart to tumble ’em, but this time I did. I did indeed. Good reason

a I had for it too, although I had been more 4 than patient. When the ninth sheep dis- si appeared from my pasture, though, I 4 thought tt was time to call a halt on the i bear, and I took my rifle and went out,

vengeful and determined. I got on the track of the bear about a mile down the Sin- Pamahoning and followed it three miles. 3 The stream made a sudden bend right a there, and as I moved cautiously around i the bend I came in sight of the sheep steal - . er stretched out on the bank sound asleep 4 & bundred yards or so ahend of me. He Wasn't ina position for me to give him a dead shot, and vengeful as I was I could met bear te think of giving him even a moment of suffering.

“Tl was on the point of hollering at him teecire Bim upand show me a proper + thot «hen I happened to raise my ayes, a and :bere flve rods sabead lay a big buck chewing his cud in sweet contentment. Deer were uncommon scarce that season, and I had use for just such a buck as that, so I concluded to pestpone my vengeance a moment, kill the deer and then attend to the bear before he could get into the a brush, for I knew he would be up and off ; at the sound of my gun. I was just about to rnu my eye over the gun barrel and let the buck die with the taste of his cud still in his mouth when what should come strutting out Into the open, side by side, but a big cock pheasant and hishen.

nad no sooner seen them than a compre- hensive idea struck me, and I proceeded at once to carry it out.

‘* «hig will be the neatest plece of work I have ever done,’ said I to myself. ‘I wish father was here to see it.’

‘‘I was apprehensive of only one thing, and that was that the bear might wake up before things were in proper shape. I watched the two pheasants as they strutted on out side by side. I was ready to act the instant they got to the pint my nice cal- culation had fixed on. They got there at last. I gave a yell. The bear woke up and sprang to his feet, broadside toward me. The buck rose like a flash at the same in- stant. The birds got up neck and neck. I fired. The bear eank down and lay there as if be had resumed bis nap. The two pheasants dropped to the ground side by side, just the same as they had got up. Ske buck tumbled where he was lying when I woke him.

‘*¥£ you could see this, Reuben Petti- bone,’ said I, ‘it’s pleased yon’d be, I’m sure, to know what an apt pupil I have been indeed and to see how deep your les- sons did sink in.’

“Yes, the bear’s spinal cord was sey- ered at the neck, the bullet having plowed there just deep enough to do it and then gone on ita way. There wasn’t a mark on the pheasants. The bullet had skimmed that bunch of nerves on each and shocked them to death. The right ventricle of th deer’s beart was out in two, as if itb been done with a knife, so nice had been aqy*’-— N e

Elastic Advertising Rates,

When the advertising agent of one of { the greatest shows on earth—for in the circus business ‘‘greatest’’ is not a super- lative term at all—yvisited a small town in Kansas last summer, he called upon the editor of the local paper and inquired the cost of a double column display advertise- ment in the next two issues.

‘“‘Two hundred and eighty dollars,’’ was the reply, without a second’s hesitation.

‘Great Scott! Are you crazy?’’ cried the agent. ‘‘What would you chargo us for a full page?’’

‘‘Two hundred and eighty—just the éaine.’’

‘But how do you figure it?’’ expostu- lated the circus map, ‘‘Havyen’t you any settled rate for space advertising?”’

‘‘See here, mister,’’ earnestly remarked the editor, ‘‘I don’t pay any attention to space in this deal, but I do know just whatan advertisement in this paper will cost you. You may havea column, ora page, or the whole blamed paper, just as you like. There’s a mortgage for $280 on this shop, and your oircus bas got to help me out with it. H & doesn’t, I’m a goner, that’s all. You may move right in here and run the whole shooting match fora couple of weeks to suit yourself, but we've got toante up $280 before next Saturday night. . Now, then, are you a friendly In- dian or are you a hostile?"’

All the dates and extra posters used last season by that show throughout the west were printed in a little one horse newspa- per office in Kansas, The paper is still is- sued regularly, and ita editor shows every evidence that he is at peace with all the world, and is prospering.—Chicage Times- Gerald. :

_ A Moral Courage Hero. Mrs. John Hays Hammond, in herac- count of the Jameson raid, tells a good story of a ‘‘moral courage’’ hero, one of those who remained in Johannesburg, “guarding the women and childrep,”’ in- stead of going out to meet Jameson. It seems this gentleman gravely said to ber, “If there had been war, 1 wonder if I should have had the moral courage to keep out of the fight?’ ‘‘I looked into his face,’’ said Mre. Hammond, ‘‘and, secing there his character, arswered with dryness, ‘Ob, I suspect you would.’ ”’

A SONG.

Bring me the juice of the honey fruit, The large, trans!ucent, amber hued,

Rare grapes of southern isles, to suit The luxury that fills my mood.

And bring me only such as grew

Where fairest maidens terd the bowers, And only fed by rain and dew

Which first had bathed a bank of flowers.

They must have hung on spicy trees In airs of far enchanted vales, And all night heard the ecstasies Of noble throated nightingales.

So that the virtues which belong To flowers may therein tasted be, And that which hath been thrilled with song tiay give a thrill of song to me.

for I would wake that string for thee Which hath tuo long in silence hung, And sweeter than all else should be The song which in thy praise is sung. —Thomas Buchanan Fead.

i THE SQUIRRELS IN THE OAK.

Cow They Kept House and Got Their Provisions.

My favorite boagders in the oak were the gray squirrels. The boys knew their hole from the woodpeckers’ at a glance, for it was in the living trunk of the tree, and the red brown margin always showed where their powerful teeth had been cutting away the bark that threat- ened to grow in and close them up. I have oftened wondered how the wocg- peckers knew that it would imprison them, and that they must put up with the dead limb.

As for the grays, they were not afraid to live inthe heart of the oak, and what stores of nuts, harvested in the hickories on the hill, they did manage to ‘‘tote’’ up there. There must have been a peck at Jeast when I ruthlessly chopped into the hollow with a sharp hatchet and captured a fine brood of young ones that were soon tamed into graceful and af- fectionate pets.

The old father and mother we did not want, even if we could have caught them, because they are fierce and up- tamable in captivity.

The abdoction of their pretty chil- dren did not seem to weigh much on their minds. They gave no sign of the poignant grief, not to be comforted, that I have seen, for instance, in blue- birds whore nest had been despoiled, but refitted their den as snugly as be- fore and raised another family.

When my squirrels went harvesting, one of them first held his head in the mouth of the hole for half a minute to see if the coast was clear. Presently ont he whisked and stopped again to make aure, while his mate followed. Then Mr. Squirrel gave a rasping, Jong drawn bark of defiance, which must have filled his lady’s heart with admiration for his boldness and with apprebension lest some unwary creature should come witbin reach of her lord’s anger.

Then—if you didn’t betray yourself and send both scampering in wildest fright back to the hole—after playing hide and seek for a few moments they ran in single file out to the top:nost twigs of a great bough, gained a biravch of the neighboring bare walnut and, crossing to its farther side, made a dws- perate fiying leap into the top of a young hickory. Running half way down this, they used a succession of dogwoods and oak saplings until they had reached the grove ef tall, straight bickories on the hill, an eighth of a mile from their hele in the oak, Come on them sudden- ly now if you would care to sea fast time made over this queer course and some record breaking leaps that fairly take away one’s breath.—Socril.uer's Magazine.

Antograph Fiends. The author of ‘‘Chats With Ce!rbri-

| ties,’’ Mr. Guild, says of the demand

upon Longfellow for his autograp®:

I remember one very pleasant party at the poet's dinner table, at which Mr. Monti, Professor E. N. WSorsford and myself were present, when Mr. Long- fellow related a number of amusing anecdotes respecting applications that were made to him for gutegraphs. He was very kind to autograph svekers and used to keep in a litth box upon his writing table a number of slips upon which were written, ‘ Yours very truly, Henry W. Longfellow.’’ One of these would be sent to t bya member of his family te w he passed over their requests,

But the autograph seekers were not always satisfied with a mere sign«tare, and he often sent a verse from ove of his poems signed with his pame. The most remarkable request, however, came from a lady ip Boston, who, the poet said, sent him by express a package of 150 Visiting cards, with a letter requesting that he would inscribe hia uame On cack of them the next day, aa she was t have a grand reception at which a number of literary people weuld be present, end she wished to
