Its Recipient Indignantly Declares That
She Is no Bargain Counter.
Two gentlemen were stroAing up and
down Canal street in New Orleans, says the
Times Democrat Of that city. engaged in a
desultory conversation, favored here and
there by sundry .admiring glances cast in
the direction of pretty girl as she passed
by. One was tall and inclined to be spare,
with thoroughly business-like air about
him, which betokened close application to
the art OF money making, and no less as
siduity in retaining that invaluable conf
modify. The other was broad and strong,
with good-tempered face and just bit of
swagger in his walk, as though he didn't
much care what the world thought of him.
As this pair continued their slow walk a
tiny bit of girl, whose garments were none
too good or too ceanly. came up TO them,
and, with a supplicating look on her face,
spoke TO them. Her voice had peculiar
twang in IL as she said:
PLEASE, sir, mister, wont you give me a
nickel to give to my mother, across the
street?" Her eyes rested upon the stalwart
man, who went down into his pocket for the
nickel. which wasn't there. Feeling little
sorry for the child, as he knew his friend
was not of generous turn of mind and had
never been known to give in charity, he
spoke to her very kindly: Not to-day, my
little girl; some other time
The child's plea seemed to have most
marvellous effect on the parsimoniuus man,
who took from his pocket coin and, with
curious smile on his lips, placed it in the
girls hand This she acknowledged by
curtesy and bright smile. Amazed at this
transformation in his friends character, his
companion was about to ask an explanation
of this sudden freak Of generosity. They
had not walked more than half dozen

STATE DECORATIONS.
Captain Ad0lph Huber Wins the
Championship.
The Second Regiment Hold Their Final State
shoot-Ths Rife and Pistol in Compe-
tition-some Good Scores Made

The Second Artillery Regiment paraded
for their final State shoot at Shell Mound
yesterday. The regim ent showed up in
strong numbers and completely filled the
commodious range. The contest yesterday
winds up the State shooting as far as the
regiments stationed in and near this city are
concerned.
Some very fine individual scores were
made. Battery c and Light Battery did
some remarka bly, good shooting. Battery A
uses the pistol ana the distance is 40 yards.
This fact must be taken into consideration
when comparing the results of the contest.
All marksmen who have used either the
rifle or pistol know how absurd a compe I'll
ton with pistol at 40 yards and Spring
field rifle at 200 yards must be. The guards
man who uses the rifle stands no chance
whatever with his more fortunate comrade
who is allowed the use of the pistol 1t is
hoped that the State authorities will regu-
late this matter, and hereafter offer two
distinct decorations for rifle aud pistol, and
thereby not force guardsmen to all unfair
contest
FINE SCORE.
The shooting of Captain Adolph Huber
of Battery G was the best that has been
witnessed on the range in a long time. At
the preliminary State contest the Captain
made the good score of 80 points out OF a
possible 90. Yesterday he appeared to be
determined to equal if not surpass his first
score, and this he did by making the fine
score Of 46, which will give him 90 per cent
for both shoots, and he will receive gold
bar from the State and be elasSed among
its sharpshOoters.
In order to obtain State decoration it is
necessary at each semi-annual contest to
make 80 points, or 60 per cent, when a
bronze bar is given. All making so per
cent receive silver bar, and those making
so per cent receive gold bar.
EVIDENTLY UNJUST.
The upjustness Of this high percentage
has just been shown by the final contests Of
the First. Third and Second Regiments.
Although many hundred men appeared be-
fore the butts and some excellent shooting
was done. but one man In the three regi-
mentS will receive a SHARP shooters decOra-
ton. Nearly all The marksmen in the
National Guard believe that the percentage
should be lowered and the men given a liv-
ing chance. What is considered a fair per-
centage in two contests is So per cent for
marksmen, 10 per cent for riflemen and IS
per cent for sharpShooters. This percent
age is sufficiently high, and if adopted by
the State authorities will result in bringing
a larger number of sharpshooters together
in the final meeting for the championship
medals.
The contest yesterday was under the di-
rectiOn of Lieutenant I. A. kuhlS, In
spectOr of X ffe Practice.
Some OF the scores made at tie competi-
tion are as follows:
