LONG SHOTS.

Wonderful Feats of EIarISsmanshfp Per-
formed by Columbian Hunters.
Perhaps no one disciple of Nimrod
can point to like success in the chase
as has been experienced 10y Mr.. James
Porter, of Thibert Creek, Casslar, who
under all circumstances is credited
with being a capital shot. While on a
hunting excursion during the winter of
1928, in company with Mr.. Charles
Cameron, both of whom were armed
with Winchesters, and the cold being
forty to fifty degrees below zero, they
came upon Il band of thirteen cariboo
browsing on the bushes which are to
be found on the mountains above the
timber line. Cameron took one direc-
ton, while Porter took a circle 10 take
advantage of a ridge, so that he might
get within shot, which he succeeded in
doing, and fired his first shot at one
hundred and fifty yards, which counted
one bagged. The band then started on
the run, and before they had got out of
reach he had sped twenty-five bullets
among them, killing nine and wound
ing the tenth severely. Night coming
on they had to gather the slain, so that
the wounded cariboo could not be fol-
lowed, but when the carcases were
skinned it was discovered that the
nine were hit nineteen times out of the
twenty-five shots fired.
Last winter Mr.. Porter, while out
with Mr.. b. Sullivan on a sporting trip,
came on a band of some fifteen or six
teen cariboo on the mountains at the
head of Dease creek, and eclipsed all
his former feats of craftsmanship.
Owing to the nature of the mountain
side on which they were feeding,
Porter could not possibly get nearer to
them than five hundred yards, so he
quietly adjusted the sight for that
range, dropped on one knee, and at
the crack of his rifle there was one car
iboo less. At the sound of the first
shot they commenced running, and be-
fore they got out Of range, Mr.. Sulli-
van says, there were seven lying at al
most equal distances apart. Mr.. Porter
told the writer that he did not take
time to raise his rifle sight as the
distance increased, but that he held at
the top of the back of the last two
which he shot VictOri0 Times.

lowed him to see the patients, when lol
at the first sound of the newcomers 8
voice the afflicted ones became quiet
and submissive. In the end he sue
ceeded in curing them entirely, so eff
fectually putting to flight the fiend that
his grateful hosts loaded him with
money, and fed him on pies and beer.
This enterprise, repeated from house
to house, soon filled the pockets of the
partners. They were obliged to hide
away the golo that came to them in
bagfulg. At last, one day, the imp,
who was getting a little uppish, re-
marked to his friend the peasant:
1T seams to me you've made money
enough by this time. I've about made
up my mind to leave the firm and give
up business altogether. Now I'll agree
to let you have all the gold if you II
promise not to drive me away from the
next person | take possession of. It's
time was having little fun upon my
own account.
The next thing that was heard of was
the illness of the BOyar's daughter, the
beauty of the town. She was quite out
of her mind, they said, threatening to
eat every body who came into her pres
ence.
$50 that's what you are up to, my
lad,' said the peasant, suspecting the
absent imp. He went to the BOyar' $
house, where he was greeted joyfully.
''Can you cure my poor daughterP
asked the unhappy BOyar. Promising
to do his best, the pretended physician
told the BOyar to assemble all the
tOwns-peOple, together with the coach
men of the place, in the street outside
the house. Moreover, he gave orders
that at a given signal from the window
of the sick room the coachmen should
all crack their whips, and the people
should cry out as he directed. This
done, he went into room, where the
BOyar's beautiful daughter flew at him,
biting and swapping. Opening the
window he gave the signal, when in
stantly arose a tumult of shouts and
cries from without, with the cracking
of whips and yells of ''the cantanker-
Gus wife has comet
On hearing this, the imp rushed out
of the Boyar's daughter, and appeared
before the peasant, with his hair stand
ing straight upon his head, his eyes
staring wide with terror.
1T can't be true, peasantP She
hasn't really come here?"
Louder and louder arose the cries:
'"The cantankerOus wife has comet
"Where can l take refuge, peasantP'
screamed the imp, now thoroughly
overcome with fear.
"Alas, my poor friend, know not,
unless you go back to the pit, - said the
peasant. 1T is certain she won't wish
to return there"
Goodbye" cried the imp, and was
off like flash to the pit, and to the
company of the cantankerous wife
also, since she never came back TO
earth. ."-Hayper's Bagar Translation.

The formal announcement that the
latest styles for ladies' costumes are to
be chiefly distinguished for the striking
colors employed in the stuffs out Of
which they are made, recalls to mind
little anecdote told Of Mile Mars, the
once famous comedienne-an anecdOte
which explains how the same fashion
was artfully forced upon the world
some sixty or seventy years ago. The
actress was fulfilling an engagement at
Lyons, when one day the chief silk
manufacturer Of the town was ushered
into her presence.
"Mademoiscllc, =" said he, Il demand
Of you to make my fortune
''Monsicur, nothing would give me
greater pleasure, but how am / to do
sop
"Simply by accepting from me THE
piece Of cloth, BY having il made into q
dress and wearing 1t in your next rep
resentation in Paris. And at the
same time he unfOlded package which
he held in his hand and spread IL before
the actress. IT was piece of the
most brilliant and screaming yellow,
as the DlDIl1c1 WDuii Hti lit'A7cf pdI-
barrie, soul-stirringl At first the actress
refused She could never commit such
an act Of audacity and hope 10 live
through it.; but ai last she was prevailed
upon 10 make the trial. The expert
ment succeeded beyond the crafty mer.
chant's widest hopes. In less than
week an Paris was frantiealiy pursuing
the latest phantasy Of It's favorite star.
The Lyons manufacturer, who alone
had a sufficient stock on hand, was
soon ov overlowcd with orders. And the
fashion for bright colors thus oddly be-
gun endured for several seasons

and the fact that Mcdonald OF the pros
