A LURE FOR MARksMsN.
The Deceptive Swinging Egg or Thin Glass
Bail Target.

A shooting gallery popularity that
has cecentlycome into popularity con.
sists in very light and fragile ball OF
blown glass, or in some cases hollow
eggshell suspended from a string.
This always attracts the inexperienc
ed marksman, because the natural de.
structiveness inherent in human ma,
ture causes him to prefer to shoot at
something which he can smash rath,
er than at target that gets no harm
from his accuracy. Therefore he
wastes his three shots at Ii cents
shot, not ON the targets, but on the
suspended mark. And he never
hits it.
The experienced man in rifle range
gunnery wastes no time on the de
ceitful ball. He knows that it can't
be hit. Probably he knows it from
experience, for it is one of those facts
that no man will believe until he
has tried it for himself. The rea
son for it is that very light hollow
glass ball or blown egg, if properly
hung ON a slender thread, will dodge
any bullet that ever came from a gun
barrel. The air that the bullet piles
up in front Of it blows the light mark
out of the projectile's path until it
has passed, after which the target
swings back to its original position.
This is very provoking for the marks
man, who, if he is good shot, has
the doubtful satisfaction of seeing his
target execute three quick lodges at
the aforementioned price of II cents
per dodge.
There is nothing, however, SO re.
munerative to the proprietor as these
pendent marks, for the gunners, pro
voked at their lack of success, will
keep on and on and ON trying to hit
mark to which pinhead would
be a barn door shot, and they only
give it up in disgust when the cost
begins to tell upon them or when
some wiser friend explains their lack
of success. Two dollars is a cheap
price to pay for the knowledge that
one of these hanging targets is bet.

"Who is Hogan?" is aquestion which
has troubled prison officers at the south
ern Illinois penitentiary for years
Hogan Is the brightest convict, intellec-
tually, in the prison and and is one of
the most valuable because Of his versa
tility. Interest In Hogan has increased
materially since Governor Altgeld, q
few days ago, commuted his sentence
from 48 to 81 years, and ON next Christ
mas eve Hogan will transplant his tai
ents to more congenial surroundings.
Thomas Hogan, Peggy" Ryan and a
man named Pritchard were beating
their way across the country in 1873,
and one day in September tlmsy boarded
o. Chicago and Alton freight train in
Greene county, near Carrollton, and
found several other tramps in posses
sion. A fight ensued. During the melee
one Of the tramps was thrown FROM or
fell off the train and was killed Hogan,
Ryan and Pritchard were arrested for
murder. They were quickly disposed Of
at the rate Of 48 years each in the peni-
tentiary. f.
The prison officers soon recognized
Hogan 3 superior talents and placed
him where he could render valuable
service. He took deep and intelligent
interest in every duty assigned to him
and was very quiet, orderly and neat in
everything he did. He never gave mp a
word as 70 his parents, relatives or
home. He never wrote a letter, except
to his lawyer, or received one, bat it is
confidently believed that Hogan is high
ly connected. He is q college graduate.

One of the advantages of the trade
OF typesetting Is that a man can work
at it up to q later period Of life than
men can work at most other trades.
Every now and then stories are print
ed about working compositors who
are so years old or over, but there
are certainly not many blacksmiths
or carpenters or engineers or brick
layers or hatters or pressmen who
can follow their trade at that age.

Dressed In Borrowed PIumes.
Americans are rather inclined to
adopt whatever pleases their fancy
in the way of insignia, colors, ETC.,
without recognizing the fact that it
is an unwritten law in Europe that
only certain persons can use partic-
ular combinations or devices. Some
Of them, with a fine disregard of all
time honored distinctions, befrog
their footmen's coats, assume the
livery of famous houses and wear
themselves any conjunction of colors
that they choose, not knowing or
caring that they put themselves in
the position of interlopers in the es-
timation of the initiated. Apropos
of this popularity, young Ameri-
can who has recently returned from
Europe tells a good story ON himself.
Seeing quantity of attractive hat
ribbons hanging up in a haberdash-
er's shop in London he purchased
half q dozen, and later on, when he
donned his straw hat at Cowes, he re-
placed his somber black band with
one Of the prettiest among his collec-
tion. He had hardly left his hotel,
however, when a military looking
man on the other side of the street
crossed over, and after walking past
him once or twice finally came up to
him, with a pleasant nod. II have

temptuously away, while the humil

and donned the quiet colors of an in
significant citizen. A few months
later, however, when looking over
his various traps in Switzerland, he
came across the bunch of nice look
ing ribbons, which it seemed a pity
not to use.

thought, and he again selected one ot
the pretty bands. Now, as no one
took any notice of his colors he fell
