metcalws Boomerang. tlanta Journal. "Mrs. Metcalf," said the magis Mte, "do I understand that yot ke a charge of assault and bat y against Mr. Metcalf?" Not exactly, 'i our Worship;yot I& "One minute,'' said Metcalf 4Permit mne to explain the matter. s Your Worship acquainted with .*he Austrian boomerang?" "Yes, I am." "Well, you will know that th( 3 eculiarity of the boomerang is ,when you throw it forward it flies backward and hits something be. hind you." When you throw it behind you, what does it do?" "Comes straight to the front. Or Tuesday I bent the kitchen poket into the boomerang shape and be gan to study the scientific aspects of this remarkable weapon." "What for?" ''Partly for tl-- sake of develop. ing scientific truth, partly for the purpose of killing ducks. If ] want to kill a duck with a boom erang what do I do? I walk away from hitu. I go off in the opposite direction. This lulls suspicion it the duck's mind. Suddenly I take careful aim, say at Jones' man whc is chopping wood in the next yard. I let fly, and the first thing you know is that the boomerang has gone whooping over my shoulder and killed the duck-dead- dead dead as Julius Caesar, it's one of the most beautiful sights in the world. "Did you ever kill one that wav: ?" 'Well, that is just the point. No, I did not. I am practicing This is what has excited Mrs. Metcalf Wedne!,day morning while I was out in tile yard trying the thing, I forgot. I aimed at the bird-cage in the porch, and the poker w(ent over my head and straight through the kitchen window. I apologized to Mrs. Metcalf, and tried agal!.. This time I aimed right at the kitchen window, intending to hit the bird cage behind ie. The boomerang must have got twisted somehow, for the scientific prin .ciple was temporarily suspended, and she went bang through the kitchen window again." "Did it steike Mrs Metcalf?" "Struck her head, your worship. But I exp)lained and bent the poker aimled at' the pump11 and let her fly. She turnied over, flew lbehind me, and nearly brained Matilda, the servant girl, who was comning out of tihe coal cellar, at that moment." '"Where is Matilda?'' "'In thle hospital. She is having a treep)an- -a kind of trapdoor let ito her skull. She will suM me as soon1 as shle comles out. It is haird to suifler for scintific truth.'' ''But hlave you managed to hit any ducks yet ?" "'I'll tell you. I caught a duock and tied it down to a gosseberry bush. I projected the boomierang at that duck two hundred and sevenlty- three times, not counting on1ce when it slipped. I hit overy thing within forty feet of the bird; I hit all tihe loose ducks and chick enis; I Sisasedl the glass inl tIhe hot Sbedl; I sent the p)oker twice thlrough a sheet on the clothes line I dug up all thle flowver beds, smashed elevenI flower po0ts, ruined two youing p)eachl trees, b)roke the top) off the pump11, and( mlaimIedl one pet dog for life, hut I never hit my~ part icul ar du tck onice; I (loln't know whiv . P robably I haven't, got the hlang of the thing yet.'' And MIrs. Metcalf wants voni to stop praicticinig, does she?" "Yes, sir. llut I'm gomngto learn, if I hav e to go out to Aumstrali a get the kniack of it." "WV-l. I hold you iln 1on nounchd not to fling that boemerang again outside Australia until you learn how." 'Very well, Your Worship, but I'll leave for there by the first train tomorrow." ALL TIRED OUT.
