Up to about IL years ago the United
States had no systematic method OF
training their soldiers TO shoot.
Good shots there were in plenty, but
not as a result Of Government educa-
ton In that direction. Only q
small amount Of ammunition was al
lowed for the purpose OF target
practice, and II company was noted
as being composed of ''goed shots" 1t
was the result of the company COM
mander's work in that direction.
Now ali is different Under the pres
ent system no option is given. unless
excused by medical o&cer, and then
the certificate must form part OF the
mans record; every man belonging to a
company must become as proficient a
marksman as constant practice can
make him.
In the years Of search for the best
methods certain positions have been
found to give the best results when
used by the majority Of men, and such
positions have been adopted by the
army and are taught as part OF the
regular instruction. Up to 300 yards
the position is standing; then comes the
kneeling position, and at 500 comes the
lying -down position-proue-head to
the target.

Mr.. John w. Mason, Commissioners or

creasing the tax on distilled spirits TO

Some men never can become good
shots. Others can only do good shoot
ing at a target, becoming excited when
conditions vary. Another class are
VIGOROUSLY uncertain target shots, but
unerring game shots, and successful
hunters.
A curious incident revealed unsus-
pecting qualities in an officer who mad
an excellent target record. 1t was at
frontier fort. One Of the government
mules was found to be suffering from
CHAMBERS and was, OF course, ordered 10
be shot 10 prevent the spread OF the
disease. The officer mentioned, al
though in the midst of hunting couu-
try, had never killed any game. Desir-
ing to test his ability he offered to shoot
the rnimal, and taking his ride and
ammunition he sailed forth. Whether
his heart failed him at the critical mo-
ment, or whether the mule hypnotzed
him, has always been an open question
certain it is that after the sound of re-
heated rifle shots had attracted on
lockers, the officer was seen going away
from the mule, which, unhurt was won
deringly regarding the disturber OF It's
peace. 1t is said that the sergeant OF
the guard, who later fired the shot that
despatched the mule, found it in tears,
presumably-as it was an army mule
on account Of the bad Workmanship it
had been forced TO witness.
