Bombarded ni Lyth `irisin as Four Quart Torpedo -00.d a Package of the Stasi While!, Another Fellovr Threw Stones at ft ou is Wager. "There were a good, many reckless and daredevil chaps among those whose busi- ness it was to haul and handle. nitro- glycerin in the early days of that explo- sive agent in the oil regions," said George Place, who ,was one .of the first to work at making and canning nitroglycerin for the wells under the Roberts patent, "but there was a teamster nalned Dick War- ner who would Clare nncl risk mare with. the terrible ,stuff than any other person thereabout. He was known as `Devil Dick,' and it was a fit name for him. He had a churn named Dan Sutton, who was almost as reckless as: Dick, and 1 have seen him- and Dick Play catch many a time with cans I glycerin they. were un- loading, the dropping of one of which to ' the ground would .have more than likely! swiped/ out of existence every: person around the well. "It ,lot so that whenever Dick Warner had a load of nitroglycerin to unload at the well everybody else, except Dan Sut-. ton, took to the woods and staid there' until the stuff was out of their custody. Once Devil Dick' held a great can of nitrogla'cerin above ;his head and let a drunk:n driller-natned Patterson throw ten st Ines at it from a distance of 30 feet o a bet of $20 that he coildn't hit the ca a once out of the ten -times. This was at Roan's camp, and the whole camp watch d the insane proceeding from safe distan es on the hill. One of the stones hpt Di 'k on the arm, not two inches be- low the can, and knocked it out of his band. He caught the can, though, before it rea shed the ground or the throwing mach would have ended there and then, With t e burial of such .bits of Dick end the dr ller as could be found, and they` would have been' exceedingly few and small. The driller came close to the can • several timesduring the trial, but failed to hit i , and Dick won his bet. "In hose days the woods all through the oil regions =were full of wild animals, and it 'n"sn't an niacominon sight to see a bear o • a Canada lynx or a c- tainount prowl; g round the camps or isajlated oil village The lynx was freque fly very. aggres ive and bold, and it wa greatly feared by- the drillers and others at the wells. More than- once men ad been attacked by lynxes. and Ja-mes Carker, a pumper. was so baldly hurt in fighting off one that had jumped:'from n tree upon him es he was drivingthrongh a piece of woods that he died 62 his injuries. One day `Devil Dick' was on his way to a well with a load of nitroglycerin torpedoes, and he picked Dan .Sutton up on the way. On a stretch of the road through . what was known as Conway's woods Dan discovered a big Canada ly x steal- ing along through the branche of the trees at one side of the road and keeping even with the wagon. He called Dick's attention to the animal, and Dick said that it was watching for a chance to at- tack them, but declared that if' it follow- ed theta as far as Clay's opening ie would get rid of the dangerous beast. "Clay's opening was a gap in the woods and a ravine 20 feet wide and as many - deep. The lynx did follow the men. as far as the opening, and Dick stopped his wagon. "The lynx crouched a few feet away from the edge of the nearest wall of the ravine, and before Sutton surmised how Dick intended to get rid of the animal Dick grabbed up, a can of nitroglycerin and hurled it with allhis strength at the lynx, which was not over 20 feet away. The can struck the soft .body of the lynx square in one side and knocked the ani- mal over on its back: The flesh and .fur of the lynx did not offer resistance to the tan sufficient to cense concussion enough to explode It, bat the can rolled on the ground and slowly down a gradual de- cline that led from where the:lynx lay to. the edge of the ravine wall. , "Sutton, with all his recklessness' in handling ,nitroglycerin, stood aghast at this deliberate risking• of their lives by - Dick, for he knew that the instant- the can rolled into the ravine and !struck the rocks bele* the terrible explosion that had been ,so luckilyaverted by Dick's good ahn -lynx would follow. Quicker than a Sash he jumped from' the wagon, tore like mad up the ra ine and stood beneath the spot where the torpedo wonld tumble into the gully hen , it reached the edge. "A scraggy bi,ish bf some ki d grew out of the top of the wall, and just as Sutton reached the spot the can Of ,nitro- glycerin had rolled to th edge and struck against the main stem of the bush. The can had struck it a trifle out of the center, and the heavier end of the torpedo, moved on an inch or two until it extended a lit- tle over the edge. - • "Sutton stood below with upreached hands to catch the can if it fell, bat there ' it hung against the bush, in a, position that looked as if a breath of wiin would topple it over into the ravine. "All this had occupied but a f w sec- onds. As soon as the torpedo lodged against the bush Sutton ran bacl to the road, shouting to Dick to drive on so they could get to a safe distance bee re the falling ef the .can and 'its certai explo- sion on the rocks below, . But hen he got to the wagon he saw Dick n ith an- other torpedo: raised. ready to hue; It aft- er the first cine. He lowered it, *though, and looked around at Sutton as if he was disappointed. . . "'The infernal wildcat's give me the slip, Dan, and tookto the woods,' said he, 'Lora, but I'd like to bust one of these shells on him" . 'That was. probably the first and, last time a wild animal was ever bunted with four quart nitroglycerin . torpedoes, and that was the last trip 'Devil Dick' ever drove ,for the company he was working for. He wasn't discharged because be so recklessly : endangered life and property .by throwing cans of nitroglycerin at .a, lynx, bat because he dro-ve on from the ravine withent getting back the first can - he threw, and the company would not stand such a waste of their property. "Dick handled nitroglycerin` for four years after thalt and never had. an acci- dent. He then quit the business and.wen't to breaking on the Allegheny ValleyAnil- road. He was killed at Miller Farm be- fore he had railroaded a week." se Taken :.On. Hoax -Funny! Did you ever notice it? Joax-Notice what?

The Chicago Tribune had the entire New Testament, as revised, telegraph- ed to it on May 22, 1882. It was the longest item of news ever wired to a newspaper. It was sent from New York, and the issue of The Tribune comprised 20 pages, of which 16 were occupied by the New Testament. The message was made up of some 132,000 words, or 933,000 letters. KeepAway Keeps Gout. Gout is rarely known among . the working classes of Ireland. Their im- munity from this complaint is thought - to be due to the fact that their food consists largely of potatoes. Planting. All things that grow. out of the ground, such as peas, corn and the like, must be planted in the increase of the .moon, from new to full; all things that • mature in the ground, like potatoes, must be planted in the decrease or waste of the moon, from full to new.

His Mother. The oldest emblem of deathless af- fection is the natural love of a wo- man for her child. Maternal love remains, indeed, a fixed, convention- al type, as if the tender eminence be- longed to every mother. To illustrate the child's hold upon the mother no ordinary instance would be new, but an incident in the last hours of a condemned crim- inal furnishes one of the crucial cases. For the brutal murder of a help- less old plan a youth of eighteen, in a neighboring state, lay in ail awaiting execution. He resisted every approach of - kindness, and resented the 'friendly offices of the chaplain with bitter curses. The boy was ap- parently a reprobate. :.___Two days before his execution a telegram was brought to him in his cell. He snatched it, and tore it open with an oath. In an instant ti, change came -over his sullen face. Ile threw up his hands with a cry, and began to weep and sob. The chaplain took the telegram and read these words: -`'Your mother is loving you yet." The. message had conte two • thou- sand miles. The mother in her dis- tant home had not heard of her run- away unaway boy. for three years.The young prodigal had not changed his name, and one day, in a brief newspaper mention, she read of him -a murderer Condemned to die. It was too late to save hint. All her bleeding heart could send him in his ignominy and ruin was the last fond sentence. Her Motto. The members of a Bible class in. a New England parish were studying St. Paul's rules for Christian living, set forth in the twelfth chapter of., Romans. Among the questions asked by the leader of the class was, "What motto should be adopted when strangers are to be entertained?" The proper answer of course, and the one given by all the members of the class, with one exception, was: "`Given to hospitality. In the class, however, there was one young person who held a differ- ent idea; that was the minister's daughter who, since she was fifteen years old, had been the head of the house, and the manage's' of many a difficult meal. "I don't agree with the others," she said, firmly. "I think very often the motto should be: `Patient in tribulation.' " - No Iteaamblauee.
