 it is a beauty.

 greatly pleased with it. I think there is 

 nothing living that the gun will not kill. 



Ralph Bateman, Fort Sherman, Idaho.

 rifle I received for getting up a club. To

A GOOD ONE ON ED. 



The following story was told me while 

 on a camping expedition in Northern Wis- 

 consin, last summer. I have never seen it 

 published and it may be new: 



Two young men, while sailing on one of 

 the Northern lakes, were struck by a sud- 

 den squall, which capsized their boat. John 

 was a strong, sturdy youth, while Ed. was 

 weak and delicate. Both held on to the 

 boat for some time, struggling to keep their 

 heads above water, but Edward's strength 

 was gradually waning; and with one more 

 grasp at the floating boat he told John 

 he could not possibly hold on any longer. 

 John reassured and encouraged him, but 

 despite all efforts he saw his friend was 

 gradually growing weaker. 



" Just another minute, Ed., and help will 

 come." 



" No," replied Edward, "and now that my 

 time has come — I am not afraid to go — only 

 the thought of my dear mother — and that 

 dear girl — whom I've loved — so dearly — for 

 so long — the thought of leaving them al- 

 most crushes me. Take this message to 

 them John: Tell them I — died with a strong 

 heart — and left messages — of love — and af- 

 fection — for them." 



John — with a heavy heart — promised all; 

 but importuned the poor boy to summon 

 strength for a short time anyway. Ed- 

 ward's strength was now but a memory and 

 with one hastily Uttered prayer — and 

 breathing the name of his beloved — his 

 hands loosened; his face paled, and he sank 

 in 4 feet of water!
