A Girl, a Boy and a Cow. 
About two years before the Civil War, near a 
pretty and substantial residence, a beautiful girl, 
about fourteen, was sleeping in a hammock swung 
from two stately oaks in a grove. In a meadow 
to the rear a fat, meek-eyed cow reclined in the 
shade. Across the road from the house the girl 
and cow was a meadow, a branch running 
through it, and coming up the branch was a boy 
with a gun. When within 100 yards from the 
girl a bird flew up, sailed in the air toward tKd 
cow, and the boy fired at the bird, which flew on 
unhurt, but the cow received a pretty strong dose 
of shot. She immediately arose in fright, dashed 
through the grove, caught the girl and hammock 
on her horns, and rushed with her shrieking vic¬ 
tim about the lot. The terrified girl became silent 
and the crowd of relatives and friends in pursuit 
thought that she was dead. The wild fury of 
the cow as she rushed around soon tore the net¬ 
ting loose, and the girl dropped unconscious to 
the ground, unhurt. She was picked up and 
taken in the house, and on examination only a 
few minor bruises were found. The boy, think¬ 
ing he was the innocent cause of the killing of 
the young girl, disappeared. All trace of him 
vanished. It was thought that he had perished 
by his own hand, but about six years after the 
war a travel-stained stranger was in the town in¬ 
quiring for persons, most of whom had been 
swept away by the war. 
After a long search the stranger learned where 
one of the parties he was in search of lived, a 
few miles out of town. He went there, made him¬ 
self known, and turned out to be the boy of the 
gun. The people he found were the father and 
mother, who had mourned him dead for eight 
years. 
The boy had been in South America, got rich, 
and, yearning for the old folks, returned to the 
desolated home of his childhood and made his 
loved ones comfortable. For the first time then 
hearing that the girl was uninjured he called on 
her and found her pretty, good, and a first-class 
home woman. He put in with a will, got her 
heart as his own, and the old folks’ consent. He 
atfemard became one of the leading men of his 
section. 
Boating a Big Catch. 
Some of the staff of the D. O. A. L. office at 
Delagoa Bay, accompanied by the officers of the 
Kronprinz, had one of the most remarkable 
fishing catches on record up the Umbeluzi. 
They went up in a launch, and were lying at 
anchor in the dark in the evening, with a lantern 
burning. Presumably attracted by the light, a 
number of fish leaped into the boat, and these 
were followed in quick succession by others. 
Some of the party had their hats knocked off, 
and for a moment were naturally quite alarmed. 
The fish, evidently members of a large shoal, 
continued leaping into the boat, thick and fast, 
and when a count was possible, it was found 
that nearly 400 of them were in the boat. They 
ran to about a foot in length, and made good 
eating.—South Africa, June 2.

Houseboats and Houseboatin#

A volume devoted to a new outdoor field which 
has for its purpose three objects: 
First—To make known the opportunities American waters

Second—To properly present the development which 
houseboating has attained in this country. 
Third—To set forth the advantages and pleasures of 
houseboating in so truthful a manner that others 
may become interested in the pastime. 
The book contains forty specially prepared articles by 
owners and designers of well-known houseboats, and is 
beautifully illustrated with nearly 200 line and half-tone 
reproductions of plans and exteriors and interiors. A 
most interesting chapter is devoted to houseboating in 
England. 
The book has been carefully prepared by Mr. Albert 
Bradlee Hunt.

bound in olive green buckram. The price is $3 net.

is not a toy intended for children, 
but a safe, durable and accurate 
weapon for the man or woman who 
needs a revolver for purposes of 
offense or defense, or for the huntsman, army 
officer or policeman. 
In the H. & R. Hammerless Revolver there 
is no hammer to catch in the clothing and cause 
accidental discharge in drawing it from the 
pocket. The only way possible to discharge 
it, is to pull the trigger. 
All H. & R Revolvers are made of the very 
best obtainable materials in a factory equipped 
with the most improved machinery operated by 
skilled mechanics. It is a marvel. Small and 
light in proportion to its effectiveness. Perfect 
in balance and finish, and extremely durable. 
The automatic device for ejecting the empty 
shells, makes reloading easy. The handle is so 
shaped as to insure a sure grip. 
Every revolver bearing our name passes the 
most rigid inspection and is thoroughly tested 
before leaving the factory. We could not afford
