Graves Turned Out His Shot and Bullets and the Contract the Courts Decldréd Had Not Been Broken. The late Senator Allison, whose home was at Dubuque, Ia, thoroughly enjoyed humor and a good story. One day when in a reminiscent mood Mr. Allison narrated the following, story, based upon facts, which is worth a place among tales extraordinary: "Along about 1860, when the west was yet quite new, a number of busi ness men in Dubuque conceived the idea of esthblishing a plant for the manufacture of shot and bullets. At the time there was no factory of that sort nearer than St. Louis, and, with a lively demand for ammunition, it was figured that a shot tower would pay like a California gold mine. The tower was built, the necessary .ma- chinery wigs put in at Jarge expense and production began. isfactory; then demand slackened, and it soon became apparent that the enter- ptise would never develop any Stand- ard ON dividends, After a time some of the stockholders became disgusted with the whole business and practical Iy offered to give away their hoRiihgs. "Among them was Jolin K. Graves, who afterward becnme a. power in eastern Towa politics. Graves quietly bonght up the steck as it was offered, getting practically all of it eventually on the basis of § or 10 cents oh the dollar. Just what Graves wanted this stock for his associates in the venture could not figure out, bit they did not lose any sleep over that They were tickled' death to get anything out of the dead enterprise. "It Had been los- ing money for sone time. "Soon after this the war broke out. Graves instantly saw his opportunity. War makes great quantities of bullets fiecessary, and he made preparations to supply them. He indulged in ecer- tain statements concerning his plans and purposes in the presence of per- sons he knew would flash the infor: tion to a St. Louis concern, and hi scheme worked admirably, Inside of two weeks a man whom Graves knew to be a representative of the St. Louis shot tower company called upon him and in the course of the conversation brought up the subject of stock in the Dubuque company. After several days of dickering and bantering Graves un- loaded his entire holdings of stock at over fifty cents on the dollar, realizing a small fortune. "By the terms of the agreement, however, Graves legally bound himself aot to erect & shot tower wifhin a bundred-wiles of Dubuque within tem years, The representative of the St Louis concern had scarcely got beyond' gight of Dubuque, down the river, until Graves sent in an order for a complete equipment of machigery for a new sliot making plant. While awaiting its arrival he indulged in a little Sur- veying. "Dubuque is situated partly upon a lofty hill or series of hills, dnd the in- land cotintry is extremely rough. When wandering among the bluffs Graves tae upon the excavation of a deep well. Shortly afterward there was i considerable activity in that vicinity. A force of men was employed to re- move the debris, and the hole was en- larged and bricked up. A lateral in- ¢ision wus wade inte the sidé of the blafy,. striking the main vertical shaft & hundred feet from the surface open- ing. Here a room was dug out and bricked up and prepared for the recep- tion of machinery. By the time this work had been completed the outfit ar- rived and was quickly installed. With- In two or three months of the time of disposing of the stock of the Dubuque toncern Graves had thle new suburban underground establishment in full blast, producing bullets and shot. "Of course news of the new factory speedily reached the St. Louis concern, and they sent an attorney to Dubuque loaded with contracts and receipts and paraphernalia for making trouble, The lawyer called on Graves and plainly told him that if he did not shut up shop he would get the law on him quick. Graves replied that he did not understand he had violated any law or any pledge and that he would go right along making bullets, suggesting to the attoriey that he start proceed- ings. The attorney invited Graves' at- tention to the bond given by the latter that he would not engage in the manu- facture of shot or bullets within 100 miles of Dubuque for tén years. Graves contended that he had entered into no such covenant; he hind pledged himself not to 'erect a shot tower,' and asked the attorney if he had erected a shot tower. The atforney said that was boy's talk; that such byplay would not go In a court of justice. "The case was tried, and notwith- standing that every inch of ground was contested by the St Louis coneern, which had able counsel, Graves won. The St. Louis lawyers could not make the jury believe that Graves had 'erect. od" a shot tower.

A Pitiful Tragedy That Revealed an incongruous Combination. One of the standing subjects, of hw morous remarks Among New York (heatergoers is the weekly article od men's fashions, published over the now in the programs of the theaters of the bettes class. Some people think Beau Brummel | a 'woman, while others believe him 1 be merely a haberdasher with a drug habit. However that may be, it is 2 reatonable supposition that no on¢ wears any of the clothes tbat Béad Prummel writes about. 1t couldn't be done. If fuy wan ever arrayed hime self in one week's output of the Beau Brimmel fashions and started dows Broadway he'd land in jail or the psy: éopathic ward at Béllevue. The case of Beau Brummel is merely funny. But here is a grim and pitiful little tragedy which is in a way related to it In a small tenement, at thé eastern and poverty stricken end of Fifty-sixth street, the police found John Conwell and his old mother, dead from gas. The man was past middle age and unmarried. They lived alone and he idolized the woman--a poor, old drunkard. The neighbors sald he used to cry hysterically when she would stagger home, stupfied with drink, Al last 'he turned on the gas while she slept and died with her. He wore cotton overalls at the time of bis death, and the few articles of his wearing apparel found in the apart ment were 'worn and ragged. Yet the letters and papers which the police took possession of proved that he earn ed a livelihood for himself and hit mother by writing articles on the lat est fashions in men's dress.--New York Letter in Cincinnati Times-Star. OLD FORT MARION. America's Only Medieval Castle a Landmark In St. Augustine. _ For more than 200 years St. Augus tine was the Spanish capital of Flor ida, and the Florida of those days ex: tended froin the Chesapeake bay to the Pacific ocean. It was an impregnable stronghold all of those years. Old Fort Marion, begun in 1592 and finished in 1756, is the only medieval castle in America. It cost an enormous sum of money. Répefited heavy drafts of the builders caused the king of Spain to inquire if they were building Fort Marion of gold dollars. The castle stands today in perfect condition, guarded by the United States govern- ment. The keeper conducts visitors through the castle, down into the dun- geons and shows you rings in the walls where victims of Spanish oppression were chained to die. Report, fairly well authenticated. has it that when the castle fell into the hands of the British two skeletons were found in one of these dungeons chained to the wall One was of a man, the other a woman. There is something uncanny about these dungeons that cannot be deserib- ed by word of mouth. While there has been great improve ment In old St, Augustine, the ancient Inndmarks have been preserved. The old city gate is igtact; the Spanish monuments hundreds of years old at- tract the lover of antiquities. Narrow streets characterized all Spanish towns of medieval times. There are streety in St. Augustine fiot more than ten or a dozen feet wide, each side lined with the same type of buildings that were the custom three or four centuries ago. Wanted to Be Safe. Tom Jackson had participated in a narrow escape from death, due to an accident which happened while he was crossing to Liverpool. It was, there fore, with much fear and hesitancy that he decided to return home. Approaching the porter hurriedly at the last minute, be was fold that he was too late for a stateroom. "The last one was just taken," announced that worthy. "Stateroom 7' queried the frightened passenger. "Who wants a stateroom? Give me a reserved seat in a lifeboat." ~Buffalo Express. 3 ' A Painful Process. Little Prescott had been leaning out of ad upstairs window. "Come away from the window, son," his father said sternly. "You might fall out and get a hump on your back ~like the camels you saw yesterday." The little boy was silent for a few minutes. Then he asked, "Father, do all the little camels have to fall out the window to get thelr humps?'-- New York Post, Argued Too Long. "Why did you permit yourself to be drawn into a long argument with your assailant?" asked the policeman, "A Jong dispute was just what I was trying to avoid when I called him a Har," explained the man on the hospi- tal cot.--Buffalo Express, Too Soon and Too Late.

Several decades ago a learned profes- | sor delivered a course of lectures, in | one of which he proved to his own sat- | Isfaction that the Atlantie ocean could | never be crossed by steam. Steam power had been discovered and ap- plied on land, but he was confident it could never be appifed to the ocenn. Under the peculiar conditions of the heaving tides, the danger of storms, the rolling of the. tide, and so forth you could never apply steam to navi- gation across the Atlantic. The book in which that lecture was published was on the first steamer that crossed the Atlantic. The captain took it along as a sort of curiosity. That book did not have a very large sale, but there bas been quite a run of steamers ever since, and the professor ceased to argue that steam could not be utilized on the ocean.~Christian Herald. Salting One's Smoke. The strangest way of taking his salt was probably Dr. Parr's., Telfonrd records that be used to fill his pipe balf with the finest tobacco and half with salt. After that It is not very surprising to learn that he smoked "with a philosophical calmness." On one occasion when the two met Charles Lamb's furious smoking of the strong: est tobacco filled Dr. Parr with as tonishment. "Gently laying down his pipe, he inquired. how Lamb had ar rived at his power of smoking at such a rate. "I tolled after'it, sir, as some men tofl after virtue," was laps re- ply.~Lonhdon Graphic.
