A Mighty Hunter.

1t is the custom, in France, for all
the fashionable world to go shooting
in the autumn. Every possessor of a
landed estate invites his friends from
Paris to visit him at this season, and
every visitor is expected to distinguish
him with the gun.
When Adolphe Theirs, the petit
bourgeois statesman of France, be-
came President Of the Republic, he
was invited one autumn to take part
in the sports at the country estate of
NJ. Casimir- Perier. He accepted the
invitation, and consequently had to
appear on the hunting field in shoot
ing dress and armed with a gun. The
whole entertainment was really in his
honor.
M. Casimir-Peri was aware that
has old friend, now the President,
knew nothing whatever about hunt
ing. But he instructed his game
keeper to follow NJ. Theirs about, and
see that, in one way or another, the
great guest of the occasion "bagged'
more game than any other person.
The game-keeper led the President
to certain spot, and said to him,
"Your excellency the game will all
be driven past this place. You have
nothing to do but remain here, and if
YOU shoot at all, you are bound to kill
something"
But the President, to his credit.
declined this opportunity, and insist
ed upon travelling about with the
other hunters-eXcept that he never
went to the right place, and never
got shot at all. The game-keeper
was in despair. The distinguished
guest kept him hopping about from
place to place, but always out Of range
of the game.
Nevertheless, by collision with
others, the game-keeper so managed
1t that, when the days sport was over
M. Theirs, who had not discharged
his gun all day, found large lot of
game at his feet, which was declared
to be his "bag,"
"This mine?" said the President,
in establishment
"Certainly" your excelIencY."
The President looked up with a
twinkle in his eye.
"Ah, l see," he said, II never shot
anything before l became President;
so suppose this was killed by the Of
fee, not by the man.

Picking Out a Profession.

Let boy decide upon his profess

Immediately enter it he saves for
preparation all the time his compan

is most valuable time, for 1t repre-

Of life-the period when the mind
receives impressions most easily and
retains them most tenaciously The
technique of any trade or business or
profession is readily acquired by a
youthful mind. Later on it seems to
be grasped slowly and with difficulty.
My advice to boys is that they antici-
