[Original.] Bob Hazard was a good natured, devil may care sort of fellow, whom everybody loved. His hair was flax, his eye was robin’s egg blue, and he Wore a perpetual smile on his lips. He looked so good that butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth. When the Spanish-American war broke out. Bob, who was a member of the national guard of his state, went with his regiment to Cuba and fought through the battles that resulted in the capture of Santiago. He seemed insensible to fear, and his companions said of him that he was too lazy to worry about getting shot. Bob didn’t get shot, but with that luqk which comes to reckless people who rather deserve punishment he received a wound just severe enough to enable him to show the scars of a war veteran. A Mauser bullet went through the biceps of his right arm, giving what might pass for two wounds, one where it went in and one Where it went out. Hazard, not being able to handle a musket during this time, had abundant leisure for mischief. Removing two balls from cartridges, he sent one to his best girl, with a letter in which he said that to her and her alone he gave the Spanish bullet with which he had been shot. The other he sent to his other best girl, with a similar message. He enjoined each to keep the secret of his preference, since he didn’t wish to appear to attach any importance to his wound. Now, the recipients, Miss Edith Spencer and Miss Della Marsh, were extremely feminine young ladies. While neither were in love with the young soldier, both were proud of the preference. Each knew that the other counted on Private Hazard as one of her especial friends at the front in those exciting days when not to have an especial friend at the war made a girl feel and appear like a “wallflower” at a ball. The next time Miss Spencer met Miss Marsh after the receipt of her bullet she asked, with a triumphant sparkle in the eye and toss Os the head: ’ • "Heard from Bob Hazard lately?” ffhe response was doubtless influenced by the questioner’s manner. “Yes; the poor fellow has been severely wounded.” ’ T hnow,” replied th^other,**Withan air of superiority. "He wrote me all about it” “So he did me, and sent me a keepsake.” "He sent me the bullet that struck him.” Miss Marsh gasped for breath. "I have that bullet,” she said, **lo my eacritolre.” “And I have it in my jewel box.” This was the -preliminary part of a conversation that led to the exhibition of two. bullets,. each with a polished surface, which is never found pn one that has been fired from a gun, to say nothing of being sent through a man’s arm. Had the girls been disinterested they would have smiled. As it was, they voiwed that when Private Robert Hazard returned he should explain this strange proceeding and pronounce upon the genuineness of the ball that had wounded him. When the war ended, it virtually began for Bob Hazard. An enemy awaited him which would have stricken terror into any man of less bravery. His regiment marched through the city from which it had departed with flying colors and martial music. The first communication he received after being mustered out was a note from Miss Spencer asking him to come and see how she had mounted the keepsake he had sent her. He called that evening and found Miss Spencer and Miss Marsh together. On the table was an open jewel box that had held a pair of solitaire earrings, and in place of the earrings were two bullets. The expression on the faces of the girls was ominous. “Will you please,” 'said Miss Spencer, “tell us which of these two bullets wounded you?” Bob looked .at the leaden missiles. Their polished surfaces should have brought the blush of shame to. bls face, but? they did not Indeed be took no note' of anything, he was thinking**how to wiggle out of the scrape hediad brought upon himself. Finally, With an injured air he asked permission to take Off his coat which was granted. Tiemoving the coat and a pair of gold sleeve links, be rolled up his shirt sleeve."This wotjnd.” he said, pointing to the the missile that had really strtjtek him on the inner surface of the arm, “was made by the bullet on the right This,” pointing to the fi scar where the original missile bad left his arm, "was made by the bullet on the left.” The girls looked at each other. “You two young ladles,” he continued, “as especial friends of mine, I thought might like to have a bullet that had struck a simple soldier of the Spanish war. Having a bullet for each wound, I was enabled to send one to each of you.” Again the girls looked at each other. “I told y6u,” began Miss Spencer. “And I told you,” interrupted Miss Marsh, “that there was some”— “That you were very unjust.” “Do you mean” — flashed Miss Marsh. “Girls,” said the soldier, “I am really at fault. I should not have made so much of so trifling a matter.” The victory was with the villain. Neither girl had loved him till his fraudulent vindication, his display of modesty. Then both loved him—while he—he loved them both. SPENCER TROWBRIDGE.

i A postmaster, not many miles from , Billville, posted the following notioe ' on his shutter recently: "All parties ] expectin’ mall are hereby netlfled to j to git all that’s oomin’ to ’em in ad- I vance —any time before nex Thursday, 1 that bein’ the day we have app’lnted < to go huntin’—not havin’ had a holiday 1 from the government wince July 4, and • the said government seemin’ to for- < get that bein’ only human, we need , rest and recreation occasional There’s I some little mail here for the Joneses ( and the Tomplnses—but it doesn’t ‘ amount to much, as it’s all got one- < cent stamp on it. There ain’t nothin’ . much in the business nohow.” I “Lost umbrellas, forgotten umbrel- 1 las,” said the lost and found clerk, ■ “pay my salary. We sell all that are < unclaimed, you know, deriving from ] this odd source SIOO a month. Nearly < all lost umbrellas are left in trains. J There is a thing to do with an um- , brella on entering a train that will as- • sqre you of not leaving it. I’ll tell 1 you what that thing is. When you sit ( down in the car place the umbrella on j the outside, between yourself and the j aisle. Thus the umbrella is a fence. 1 It bars you in. When you jump up .1 hastily to get off at your station you 1 fall over it. You can’t forget it * whether you would or not.” ] Albert Jenks, an elderly farmer, ] living near Washington, Pa., who has < seldom been outside of Beaver coun- - ty, never saw an auto until recently. 1 when he met one near a graveyard. ' The farmer has ever been supersti- j tious, and when he was met in the lonely road by a large touring car, ' well lit up, and which honk konked past him, he fell in a fit by the side i of the road, where he remained until I fotind by neighbors several hours later. He passed from one fit into ' another during the day, and is now ] in a dying condition. A grammarian was talking absut ; grammatical slips that, through their 1 i magnitude merited immortality. "There J is one sentence,” he* said, “that has > lived for a hundred years on account ■ of its tremendous incorrectness. In ; this sentence every word, every single word, is ungrammatical. The sentence was spoken by a little girl in a sheep pasture. Looking at the flocks, she • said to the shepherd: Ts..them sheeps ' yourn?’ This sentence holds the rec- j ord in its class.” Robert Kelley, president of the ’ Earlham college of Richmond, arrived < this morning and is the guest of 1 Prof. Beachler. Mr. Kelley is a mem- ' ber of the state board of education, and it is through a favorable report , ‘ from this board that we were given j ‘ a commission for a high school. Mr, Kelley’s purpose here today is to exi amine the schools and thus ascertain < i whether or not we are living up to the ; required regulations as laid down by : : this board. i One of these days this country may , : produce an honest campaign chairman, one who will say in his election forecast in effect: “I don’t know how this election is going, but I suspect we are going to have the buttons whipped off i ’ of us. While I am hopeful, I confess [ that the opposition was us scared. Our : . poll shows a good deal of disaffection ■ I doubt if we can buy enough votes to offset it. If this ticket pulls through ' 1 by the skin of its teeth I’ll be tickled : to death.” ©- HARTFORD TOWNSHIP.

Hensley has on exhibition in his already Well filled display window, 'a new specimen which in all prob- . 'ability, is the only animal of this.. {kind killed in this section for years.

Tho fur of this animal is the most expensive on the market and is used principally in making the robes of the’ - royal families of the old country. Stop and take a look as you go by. Rev. J. C.
