WIGGINS BROTHERS, HUNTERS.

Killed Two Bears, Two Deers and a Panther This Season. Bill and Dick Wiggins have been taking animal hunts together for sev-enty-five years. They are brothers. Bill is 86 and Dick vis 84. They have made their home in Knox for many years.

They returned a few days ago from their annual hunting trip to the Big Thicket, bringing back with them two flat bears, two deer and a panther. Despite their age they are still as spry as the average man of middle age. Their hair is just beginning to turn gray and neither of them ever wore glasses.

Bill Wiggins killed the smaller bear. They killed two deer apiece, using up two of the animals in camp and bringing back the other two with them. They do their own cooking in camp and get the keenest enjoyment out of their outdoor experience. They are also great fishermen, and during the summer season spend much of their time along the streams of thia region angling for baaa and other fish.

How They Got Out

Uncle Ephrab* had iwo hogs, which tie kept in a pen at the rear end of hie little lot They were of the “razorback" variety, and although they were fed bountifully with kitchen waste, it seemed impossible to put any fat on their attenuated frames. One morning when he went out to feed them they were not there. They had disappeared, leaving no clue to the manner in which they had made their escape. "What’s the matter, Uncle BphT" inquired a neighbor, noticing the deep dejection with which the old man was looking down into the empty pen. "My hawgs is done gone, sah," he answered. "Stolen T" “No, -sah, I don’t see no signs dat anybody tuck ’em.” “Did they climb out the topT’ “No, dey couldn’t 'a* done dat" “How do you think they got awayT" "Well, sah," said Uncle Ephraim, ’pinion is dat dem hawgs kind o* raised delrselves up on aidge an’ crops through a crack.”

HEW INDUSTRY IN THE WEST.

WpemlM to Have Flret Azbeotoz Mills Wwt of the Alleghanieo. ' Casper, Wym, to in the midst of an •abeataaboom. Accustomed for years to the sheep aad wool industry, upon Which the chief wealth at the com* muplty baa rested, the town to now enthmrtaattoklly concerning itself with a different kind of wool—that pecu* liar aort of mineral fiber which nature has deposited at rare Intervals in the seams of rocks called serpentine. Borne of the wealthiest citizens of the town bay* caught on to the enthusiasm and are putting their money Into the development es a resource which, in the mineral world, most nearly resembles the product 'of the sheep elip. What the wool of the sheep does for the human body, the wool of the serpentine rocks does for the steam pipe and the heat conduit of furnaces—it keeps the caloric from escaping. Asbestos, as its Greek name indicates, is indestructible except at very high heat, such as is never reached outside of a laboratory. The market for asbestos is said to be limitless—at least, far beyond the limits es the present supply.

Autos for the Very Young.

"It seems to me," said the man who likes automobiles, to a New York Bun reporter, “that the next generation ought to be automobile mad. The toys that children have all are such as would accustom them right from the start to machines. Every one knows the mlnature automobiles that children have, which run with treadles they kick with their feet, but the other day I saw one that goes even further back toward babyhood. "I saw a child being wheeled about In a sort of go-cart baby carriage, a child that couldn’t have been over S years old. Extending back from the front of tiie carriage was a sort of steering post with a wheel attached, to which the child —it was a girl, too —clung in the most natural way. "The wheel had nothing to do with the management of the carriage. It seems to me that getting children used to the automobile habit so early ought to develop car fiends later on."

Throwing the Stones.

Many unthinking chatterers have always said that Dr. Samuel Johnson’s life meant everything that is meant by gross, almost swinish, laziness and unkemptness. This same crowd has always thoughtlessly cackled about Poo’s drinking and shiftless habits, calling him a “never-do-well.” Indeed, these chatterers have said pretty much the same things about and have had a like scornfulness for other great men. And had they been as well as malicious, they had said that oM man Darwin was a slt-around like an old sick rooster. But, as a matter of foot, this is all merely a higher variation of the ordinary country crossroads soapbox gossip.

Woman's Care of Genlus.

Darwin had to be kept pretty much wrapped up in cotton all his life, like a precious cracked vase, to save him from breaking to pieces, and had not his tender wife nursed and coddled Mm, oven as an infant, he would probably had died in early middle life of chronic aeasiokness, for he never entirely recovered from the years spent on tiie Beagle. And this is a fine illustration of what a true woman really Is, for nature has so made her thitt she does not do ouch work as Darwin’s, but Darwin could never have lived and done Ms work without the woman, so one is just as important as the other.

Why People Live Long.

Dr. von Idnhslm, a .German scientist, who has been making a study of longevity, publishes the results of his observations on a series of TOO persons of both sexes, who had reached the ago of 80 years and upward. His observations load to the conclusion that Instances of longevity t are moot eften mot with among persons whose parents and grandparents have been healthy, and especially if they have been long-lived; who have studied regularity, punctuality and temperance •H through life; and who have postponed their retirement from active occupation as long as possible.

The Look on the Bright Bids Society got down Ila lodger this afternoon and enrolled among the members the name of a newly made widow, "I missed John so much when I sat down to meals,” shs said, "that I began eating off the pantry shelf, and find In this way I do not have to clean my dining room more than onoe a week, aid it makes my work So Much Lighter.”
