THE liESiBURCEFUL SMITH.
Scheme by ‘Which He. Grew‘liich at Hi:
Trade of Shoelng Horses.
“I lived at'a little cross-roads ham-
let, which was not evena post office,
on the line between New York State
and Pennsylvania,” said a story-teller
to 11. Sioux City Journal reporter. “Of
course there was a blacksmith shop
there. There was no tavern, but the
blacksmith also had a cider press, and
he made the cider for all the farmers
theprofits of his shop could account
for the rapid way in which he accum-
ulated wealth. As is well known, ap-
ple cider, if allowed to stand long
enough, will become “hard,” and after
that it will turn into vinegar. This
cider dealer always had plenty of hard
vinegar for sale. The farmers and
others who stopped at his place could
always get a drink of hard cider, which
they took out of a tin dipper at 10c. a
drink, and the size of the drink was
Isomething which attracted very little
attention. Hardly any kind of bever-
'age is, more intoxicating than hard
cider. The blacksmith required no li-
cense to sell hard cider, and he work-
ed the game to the limit. His place
became very popular, and the farmers
came from many miles around in both
states to \get their horses shod at his
place. Many of them would come
home drunk, and their wives began to
protest. They always had to have
: some excuse for having visit-ed the
state line shop, and so the blacksmith,
after supplying them with a few dip-
perfuls of hard cider, would take the
shoes off their beasts and put on new
ones, whether they needed it or not.
For this service he would charge a
good round price. while in many in—
stances it was noticed he made no
charge for the cider
:" I “But as is the way of all flesh, this
blacksmith died one day, and then his
bi: .ness secrets came out. .He left an
9': ate or over $80,000, and in the cellar
.. ' the cider—press a. great number of
empty whiskey barrels were found.
. For years he had been putting whiskey
into his cider, and had been setting
new shoes on nearly every horse which
came along, willy nilly.”
WOODEN SOLED SHOES.
Used in Tin lIIilIs for “Doubling”—Tho
Heat “’ould Burn Those of Leather.
Wooden soled shoes are getting to
be quite the prop-er thing in New Ken'—
sington. Society circles don’t reco-
gnize them, as they are not just the
proper thing with which to whirl
through the mazy': music of the waltz
or to step the fairy tripplings of the
peel-1a. But for the purpose they are
intended they are all right and are
worn daily: by dozens of men. These
shoes look heavy and cumbersome.
They have leather uppers,
sole from one—half to an inch in thick-
ness and on the under side of the sole
is an iron, horseshoe-shaped, guard to
prevent it wearing out too soon. The
workmen at the tin mills use them in
"doubling.” When the hot shoot iron
comes through the roll the workmen
grasp it in the ton-gs, double it over
and stamp on it to flatten it down at
the fold. As it is almost at a. white
up in no time, so the doubler wears a
wooden soled one. He only wears one,
as all the stamping is done with one
foot. They are as particular about
these shoes as about those for-fancy
chess. They like maple ond soles,
because they are not so thick and
heavy as paper. The make of the
shoe is important. It has to be box-
toed to prevent sore feet Altogether
they are rather particular about these
homely Dutch-looking a ticles of, foot-
wear and they cost, fro_n $1 to $1.50
each.’—Kenningston, Penn, KcystOne.
”CHAPEL OF THE SEAS.”
Most Wonderful Cave in the \Vofld In the
South Pacific.
The most wonderful cave in the
. world is in the island of Tonga, in the
South Pacific. Byron called it “a
’chapel of the seas.” It is formed in a
rock that is almost surrounded by the
ocean. This rock is about sixty feet
high, and broad prOportionately.
Many years ago a boy, the son of a
native chief, was chasing a huge turtle,
~ when his game seemed to sink into the
rock. The lad watched and waited un-
til the tide fgll, disclosing a small
opening in the rock about six feet un-
der low water mark. ,
Diving boldly the young hunter en-
tered the aperture, and, to his surprise,
came to the surface inside the rack.
The rock was hollow, and its interior
was found afterward, when the na-
tives explored it with torches, to con-
tain many beautiful stalacites.

Jiother and Grandmother.
Camden, N. J., Dec. 28.—Young Ell
Shaw must stand trial for the murder
of his mother and of his grandmother,
the Grand Jury yesterday indicting
him. Two- new and heretofore uni
I'known witnesses testified in support of
the State's
case. ~
W'hen the invest1gation of the trag-
edy was resumed by the Grand Jurors
this morning James‘ Durfii and his
wife, Sarah, who live at 238 Line
511 eet two doors below the Zane home,
weie examined. Both swore to having
heard .two pistol
momng of the murder. They say that
the second shot followed the first by
at least six minutes, and that it was
fully five minutes“ after the second shot
when they heard Eli Shaw's shouts.
This testimony contradicts Shaw's
statements both as to the time and the
number of shots. M1. and Mrs. Dunn
have not heretofore been connected
with the tragedy, and their evidence
was a surprise even to.Prosecutor of
the Pleas Jenkins. A number of the
witnesses summoned were not exam-
ined. When Shaw in his cell learned of
Grand Jury’s action, he said:
"I suppose it’s all right, but that
don’t prove me guilty.”

I‘crrible Vengeance 0'11 a Man Ac-
cused of Follotving Wonlen.
- Bessemer, Ala., Dec. 28.———J. H. How-
ell, superintendent of Smith’s Mines, at

her and her daughter in a suspicious
manner as they were on their way
home. Howell was placed in the town
jail. .
Last night, about 8 o’clock, Collins
’went to the prison and quietly request-
ed to be allowed to see Howell. The
jailer led him to How’ells cell.
The instant COllins saw the prisoner
he pulled a pistol and shot him through
the heart. Howell fell back dead: Col-
lins-was arrested and taken to Birm—
ingham. The only statement he would
make was that he was glad he killed
Howell. The dead man was about 40
years old and bore a good reputation.
