A Girl Who Can Shoot.
San Francisco Chronicle.

San Francisco Chronicle.
Miss Lillian F. Smith, who styles her
self the California girl champion rifle
shot of the world" gave a remarkably
interesting exhibition of her skill and
unerring precision with the rifle yester-
day evening. Around the wooden figure
of deer, suspended in mid-air, a num-
Der of glass balls were attached by wires
Miss Lillian, with seven pound Ballard
rife, carrying a 22-calibre cartridge
broke ball after ball at distance of 33
feet with unfailing aim, firing both from
the right and left shoulder, shooting
with the rife held upside down and
backward over the shoulder, sighting
with hand mirror. One of the most
remarkable feats was the breaking of
glass ball revolving on a wire in hori-
zontal circle, with radius of about six
feet. This feat she also performed shoot
ing backward, using a hand mirror to
sight with. Ten glass balls were sprung
from trap, with only four foot rise,
and every one broken before they reach
ed the floor. Twenty balls were attach
ed to the deer, which was caused to
swing, and every one broken inside of a
minute without a miss. Two
small balls no larger than
hazlenut shared the same fate, and
nickle cent piece concealed behind
card was perforated in the center. At
ter the programme had been completed,
Crittenden Robinson, the well known
wing shot, had acquired such confidence
in the accuracy of the aim of the young
lady-who is really only child of IA
years of age-that he volunteered to hold
the ace of Cubs, which he took from a
pack of cards in his nd, while she en-
deavored to perforate it, and she justi-
fed his confidence by putting ball
through the center of the ace spot.

Constipation is positively cured by
Carter's Little Liver Pills. Not by purg-
ing and weakening the bowels, but by
regulating and strengthening them. This
is done by improving the digestion and
stimulating the liver to the proper secre-
ton of bile, when the bowels will per-
form their customary functions in an
easy and natural manner. Purgative
pills must be avoided. Ask for Carter's
Little Liver Pills. Price 25 cents.
