Good Shooting.

81 heard that there was more good
shooting in California than in
any other state in the Union
remarked man to a Stockton
hotel runner just after getting off an
Eastern train.
"Well, 1 should think there was" re-
piled the hotel runner
"But since it has become so thickly
settled, l suppose there is not near so
much shooting as there used to be?"
"No, nothing like so much"
"I'm st anger in these parts, and I'm
fond of shooting. Iwish yon would di-
rect me as to the best place where 1 can
find it."
"Bodie, Mono County, 1 think, is
about the best place, but you ought to
have come here about thirty years ago,
stranger. The shooting don't amount to
much now, but it used to be very I'M
common thing up there for a single day
to 60 by without somebody's being shot
in some shooting scrape. Shooting's
kinder dull up there now though, but
the citizens try to make it lively for
strangers, ard if you go up there l guess
you'll get all the chance you want to
Practice" and the hotel man helped the
astonished stranger into the bus and
drove off.-Pacifc Jester.

Rabbit Fur Hats.

The trade in rabbit skins for hat max
ing is now an enormous industry. The
skins are doubly valuable, the hair being
used for felt making and the pelts to boil
down into glue. The present statistics
of the industry in Europe may be figured
from the fact that eighty millions of
skins are collected in France. twenty-five
to thirty millions in England, almost en-
tirely from the warrens of the sandhills
and woods; twelve to fifteen millions in
Belgium, almost wholly of domestic
breed (as are nine out of the eighty mil
lions of French skins); two to three mil
lions from Russia, Sweden, and Norway,
and four millions in Northern Germany,
yearly In Austria and Hungary there
are about twelve millions collected, but
retained for home manufacture. Spain
and Portugal have skins of inferior quail
ity, which are kept for the hat factories
of these countries. France occupies the
chief place in the commerce of rabbit
skins, and this not only in regard to
quantity but to quality. There is no rab-
bit comparable to the French rabbits
either to eat or make hats of. Both to
Belgium and to England large quantities
are exported.
At first the manufacturer collected and
stored the rabbit skins, and Transformed
them into hats with very rude machinery.
1t is only recently, by the distribution of
labor, always advantageous, that the
preparation of the stuff has been separa-
ted from the manufacture of hats, and
the collection of the skins is organized
as a distinct industry. In England there
are now some twenty firms engaged in
preparing and cutting the skins, the
largest of which firms are in Southwark,
and others in Manchester and Leeds.
The industry, altogether, is a very inter-
esting one in many respects, aud it rep
resents living to large numbers of peo-
pie including the collection of skins in
the towns and villages throughout the
country, and the hundreds of women and
girls occupied in quilting" and in other
operations preparatory to the telling,
when the hat manufacturer enters upon
the mysteries of his special trade.

zone More Shoot EN-.

A young, half-civilized son of the
forest, belonging to one of the tribes on
the Pacific coast, was living with a
mountaineer and doing chores for his
"board and clothes"
One day, seeing Il large fock of ducks
light down in the pond near the house,
the young Nimrod wanted to try his luck
shooting. The ranchman loaded the
shotgun, putting into it full charge
of powder and shot.
Away went the young brave in
high glee. He hcd gone but a few
minutes when Boom! boom" went the
gun, knocking the Indian over, the noise
echoing among the hills like cannon.
But the piece was well-aimed and had
made great havoc of the ducks,
On recovering from the shock, he
wendell his way homeward, half-bewil-
dered from his fright.
"What is the matter with you, JIM"
asked his employer With significant
grunt, Jim replied: "Ugh! One more
shoot EN-, no more ducks"
He paused moment, and added, with
greater emphasis
"And no more Injunm

CONTRACTOR PALMER sPEAks.
His Version OF the Troubles at the
Helena Court House.


j. ]. Palmer, the Minneapolis contractor
who has lately had some trouble with the
stonemaSons at work on the Helena (Mont.)
court house for the the construction OF
which he had the contract. arrived in st.
Paul yesterday direct from Helena. In
giving his version of the strike and the sub
seQuent hanging of himself i'm effigy, he
said that recently he had taken the contract
for the construction of the Helena court
house at $3.50. 600. and at the urgent i'm
pOrtunities of several of the workmen had
put fifteen of them at work. Before put
ting them at work he said that he explained
to them that he paid but once month, and
did not allow his workmen to drink or
smoke while employed on the building.
The explanations being satisfactory he
gave the men employment at the rate of 40
cents per hour. They went to work on last
Friday. On the following day one of the
men came 10 him and asked him if the men
would be allowed to stop at o'clock
Saturday afternoon. He said that
such would be agreeable to
him IL they would make up
the hour by beginning ten minutes earlier
each morning of the working week. The
stonemaSons maintained that they wanted
full pay for Saturday and refused to make
up the hour. He refused TO pay them full
pay and they stopped work. after working
two days. They demanded. their money
and he gave them checks for the respective
sums due them. He said there were no
threats against him and no violence what
ever. He denied that his effigy had been
suspended from a telegraph pole or lamp
post. He said that he proposed TO go right
along with the work and would take several
bricklayers and stone masons from st. Paul
and did not anticipate the least trouble.
Mr.. Palmer has lived in Minneapolis for
the past six years and has. during his resi-
dence there. had several contracts for large
buildings in the twin cities. including the
st. Paul water works and sewers. Previous
to coming to Minneapolis he was a con-
tractor on the Northern Pacific and Mani
toba railroads and served for a number of
years as superintendent of construction of
the Brainerd shop on the latter road.
