He heartily enjoyed the sport and
distinguished himself as a marks.
man. In three days he killed 1850
large mallard ducks, hundreds Of
teal ducks, and a large number Of
snipes and partridges. But the
best work. he did was last Tuesday
morning, when he brought down
four woodcocks at one shot. Pro-
fessional hunters will admit that
this was . remarkable feat. In fact
there is only one instance on record
where more than one woodcock was
ever killed at one shot, and that
was BY Sir Francis Chantry, in
England, in 1929, and he afterward
admitted that it was an accident,
IS he saw but one bird when he
fired. President Cleveland therefore

Where the Colonel Had Him.

Colonel Sterrepp is a newspaper man ana
a great reader Of standard matter. Not
long ago he met young fellow who beat
him out on a question Of Biblical history
and the colonel sought to get even.
"That boy Of yours, - be said to the young
fellows father, "is a bright one, but l
guess ! downed him"
"How?" inquired the father with good
deal Of curiosity.

heard of it but had studied about 1t in his
school. Say, did you ever hear Of the
peloponnesian war when you was boyW

that. but he asked me if | knew that Lin

Gus Gettysburg speech from the orations

broad smile OF triumph.
How" inquired the father.
"Why, sir" aud the coionePs face

Illinois where Lincoln got his learning,
and there amt man in it ever heard OF
the Peloponnesian war"
The colonel's argument was irresistible
and the father had TO confess it.-Detroit
