Barry, adjutant general to Major General Otis, before leaving for Manila told a good story of Major General Shaffer's shooting in the days when he was a colonel on the Mexican border. A day before he took ship for the Philippines Barry, with Brigadier General Hngbes and a Chronicle representative, discussing Shafter's gallantry before Santiago, said: "I was Shafter's aid years ago when we both were bronzing under the hottest sun that shines in these states. Shafter was known as the best shot not il only ia Lis regiment, liul la ILo "whole country about. One day an officer from another regiment not acquainted with Shafter's ability in this line visited the post and soon made it appareut to us that he esteemed himself about as expert a marksman as ever pulled a trigger. We secretly laughed at his opinion , of himself and whispered to each other, , 4Jusc wait till Pecos Bill getsafter him.' 44 Well, his time came. One morning Shafter and I started ont to ride 40 | miles or more to another post, and the visitor asked to be allowed to accoru- j pany us. We trotted along easily until about noon, when W8 baited to cat our luncheon, which we packed with us. At that time officers carried short carbines on such service, and I had one strapped to my saddle. The conversation drifted from the topography of the country to marksmanship, and the officer?call him Smith?said, 4Say, colonel, have you got any shots in your regiment?' "Sbafter smiled and replied: 4IIave I? Why, I've got some nieu that can discount the sharpshooters you read about?officers too. I'm not much myself, but when you get back to tho fort I'll tell a few of the good ones to show you a thing cr two.' 4rJust then an antelope sprang up a quarter of a mile away, and all, seeing It at the same moment, reached for their carbines. Shatter was quickest, and in a second adjusted tho sights to 600 feet and blazed away. Down came Mr. Antelope, and when we rede up to where he lay we found a bullet over his heart. "Smith examined the wound, looked over the carbine, and then muttered half aside: 'Not bad. You say ycu're not in it with other officers in your regiment, colonel?' " 'No,' said Sbafter. 'I'm ashamed of myself alongside of them.' "A couple of hours later another antelope appeared, but further away. Smith fidgeted a moment, and then said eagerly, 'Colonel, may I go after him?' "'Pshaw! You wouldn't chase him on horseback at that distance,' exclaimed Shafter, seizing his weapon and leveling it as he spoke. 'I'll put lead in his head.' "He fired, and we saw the animal bound away^ Smith was gleeful. 'A little high, colonel,' he shouted as we galloped on. Reaching the place where the game had been, we were on a high, rising piece of ground, and looking down 50 feet Shafter pointed to a dark object and said, 'I guess I got the head.' "Sure enough, the antelope was lying dead with a bullet through his left ear. Smith looked as disgusted as any man 1 ever saw. " 'And the officers are better?' he queried. "Shafter's eyes twinkled. 'Lieutenant Smith,' he replied with assumed sternness, 'I want you to say nothing of this at the post. I ought to have hit him in the eye, and I feel ashamed of my poor aim.' "Smith, who had no sense of humor, was dumfounded. For years after he spread the fame of Colonel Shafter as a marksman far and wide."?San Francisco Chronicle. Alvrays Vigilant. In early life Audubon,-the naturalise, was financially ruined, so that when his debts had been paid ho found himself without a dollar, yet he was absoluely undiscouraged. "Was I inclined," he asks, "to cut my throat in foolish despair? Nol I had talents. and tn them I instantly re sorted." There he stood at the parting of the ways, and he struck into the path which was to lead him to fame and a reasonable amount of prosperity. But it is to be remembered that he never for a moment relinquished his pursuit of observing the life of wood and fields, and to read one short extract from his autobiography is to learn why he met with success rather than failure: "One of the most extraordinary things among all these adverse circumstances was that I never for a day gave up listening to the songs of our birds or watching their peculiar habits or delineating them in the best way I could. Nay, during my deepest troubles 1 would frequently wrench myself from the persons around me and retire to some secluded part of our noble forests, and many a time at the sound of the woodthrush's melodies have I fallen on my knees and there prayed earnestly to our God."?Youth's Companion.

Being such a deep-seated blood disease, Swift's Specific is the only known cure for Scrofula, because it is the only remedy which can reach the disease. Scrofula apoeared on the head of iny little grandchild -when only 18 months old. Shortly after breaking out it spread rapidly all over her body. The scabs on the sores would peel ofT ou the slightest touch, and the odor that would arise made the atBiosphere of the room sickening and unbearable. The disease next attacked ) the eyes, and we feared she E&& ey would lose her sight. Km- fig fyls Inent physicians from the r?S w ^ i gurrounding country were yj / consulted, but could do ?^?V nothing to relieve the lit- ""/<? tie innocent, and gave it f is their opinion that the case was hopeless and 1m- iWn possible to save the child's eyesight. It was then that we decided to try Swift's Specific. That medicine at once made a speedy and complete cure. She is now a young lady, and has never had % sign of the disease to return. Mas.

Swift's Specific S.S.S.rfL Blood is the only remedy equal to such deepseated diseases; it goes down to the very foundation an*.? forces out every taint. It is purely vegetable, and i3 the only blood remedy guaranteed to contain no mercury, potash or other mineral substance whatever. Books mailed free by Swift Specific Company, Atlanta, Georgia.

An actor who was in Washington re| ceutly 011 his way to join the army of i stage folk who are trooping into New York to begin rehearsals played in a j Chicago stock company a part of the j summer, says a writer in the WashingI ton post. It wasn't an especially sue cessful company r.nr. '~ere -perlous when the ghost did not walk for weeks at a time. The actor I speak of is what they call on the stage a handsome dresser. Ho is especially addicted to clean linen, and a day dawned when he found that all his shirts were at the laundry and ho was penniless. He went to call on the Chinaman who kept thG laundry. In th's instance the Chinaman kept the shirts, too, for no threats, no entreaties, no proffers of watches and scarfpins as securities, no arguments of an}* kind, sufficed to move him. Ho wanted money. Two whole days the actor endured this state of things. Then salaries were paid. The jirtrr marched to the laundrv. laid down tho money, seized tho Chinaman by the collar of his pyjamas, jerked him over tho counter and rubbed the floor down with him, horizontally, perpendicularly and spirally. Tho poor oriental sputtered out a great deal of talk and one front tooth, I belicvo. A policeman happened to be passing, an eccentrio fellow, casually peered in and asked the occasion of tho affair. Tho actor explained. "Ah, thin," said tho officer sympathetically, "you'll havo to do it over ag'in. It's not him that kapesthe joint. Hop Sing is sick. You've been doin up the wrong man. But, thin," consolingly, "they all needs it." Sxnnnhed the Red Tape.

A PUNCTURED IDYL. Tho Romantic Maiden Was Shocked by the Businesslike Young Man. They had met at the popular summer resort upon the shore of the beautiful inland lake, and for two weeks had been almost daily oompanicus. But on the morrow he would have to leave?to go back again to the busy town and slave at his desk. They sat upen a piece of plank and fccssed pebbles in the water for awhile, and both became absorbed in thought. She dug little hcles in the beach with the end of her parasol, ana ho ever ana anon placed a hand over his heart, as if to make sure that it was still in the right place. They were all alone, half a mile from the hotel and the little cluster of cottages. The excursion steamer out upon the glassy bosom of the lake tooted mournfully as it approached the dock. Then t the maiden sighed, and leaning over so that her breath fanned his cheek asked in tones but little above a whisper: "What are you thinking of?" He turned toward her, as if suddenly aroused from some distressing dream: I "I was thinking," he replied, "that I shall go home tomorrow without having had a chance to use more than half of the commutation tickets I bought on that boat." Three seconds later they started in single file back toward the hotel.? Cleveland Leader. Current Cynicisms. Some men talk much and say little, but only a woman can talk much and say nothing at all.

A clever, beautiful woman unhappily married is like a fine musical instrument ruined by an incompetent player.
