MOST MARVELLOUS SHOOTING ON
RECORD,

They had been talking about the
performances of Bogardus, the
marksman who shoots with rife,
glass balls which are sent into the
air as fast as man can throw them.
Presently, d. B. Hodges, the evan
gelical promoter of the society for
the prevention of lying, who was
sitting by, said:
"That's nothing"
"What is nothing?"
"Why, that shooting. Did you
ever know Tom Potter?"
"No."
"Well, Potter was the best hand
with a rifle that [ ever saw; beat
this man Bogardus all hollow. I'll
tell you what have seen this man
Potter do. You know, maybe, along
there in the cherry season Mrs. Pot
ter would want to preserve some
cherries; so Tom would pick 'em
for her, and how you think he stoned
'em ?'

"Why' he'd fill his gun with bird
shot and get boy to drop half a
bushel of cherries at one time from
the roof of the house. AS they came
down he'd fire and take stone clean
out of every cherry in the lot. It's
a positive fact! He might occasion
ally miss one, but not often. But
he did bigger shooting than that
when he wanted to-
"What did he do?"
"Why, jim Miller-did you know
him? No? Well, Tom bet with Jim
that he could shoot the button off
his own coat-tail by aiming in the
opposite direction, and Jim took him
up"
"Did he do it,"
"Do it? He fixed himself in q po-
sition and aimed at tree in front
of him. The ball hit the tree, ca
romed, hit the corner of house,
caromed, hit lamp-post, caromed
and flew behind Tom and nipped the
button off as slick as whistle. You
bet he did it"
"That was fine shooting"
"Yes, but I've seen Tom Potter
beat it. I've seen him stand under
flock of pigeons, billions of them,
coming like the wind, and kill them
SO fast that the front of the flock

The Strain of Years.
From the New York Sun.

The writer was aboard an express
train on the N. Y, P. & O. road not long
ago, pulling into Salamanca. We were
spinning along at a good rate, when
gradually the train slowed up until the
decrease was very perceptible. A
brakeman sat near, and to him it was
remarked that there seemed to be "a
heavy grade along here"
"Oh, no." he replied, glancing care
lessly out of the window, "this is good
enough track; the engineer has got one
OF his nervous fits on"
When surprise was expressed at this
he continued: "He is one of the oldest
men on the road, and he has more than
once proved himself fearless in moments
of actual danger. For the last six months
though he has been so nervous he's
hardly fit to run a train. We are al
ways late now on his run; he slows
down on good track like this, jerks up
the train at the slightest curve, and is in
just the condition of mind and nerve to
bring about the very disaster he fears.
He'll have to lay off soon. It's a com
mon enough thing. I s'pose it's the
strain of years of irregular hours and
constant anxiety when on duty"
