could accomplish wonderful feats with
his fint-lock rife before he had out
grown his teens.
Col. William Cody, Familiarity known
as Buffalo Bill, had achieved fame as a
sure shot before he had reached his
twenty-frst birthday.
There are few boys who have an OPP
portunity to develop skill with firearms
nowadays. Those who do usually live
in the west or in the rural districts.
Every now and then one of these lads
comes to the front to prove that America
leads the world in the handling of this
favorite weapon of the frontier.
We recently learned Of a youth whose
record is SO good that every boy will
wish to learn more of him. This young
rifieman is Master Willie Douglass, of
Lafayette, Ind. He has been shooting
but short time, but has shown Won
derful proficiency already. The illus
tration presented herewith shows Mas
ter Douglass; also hi targets, with
shots made at range of As feet. It
shows score which counts 81 out of a
possible 100. The target shown Is full
size.
Willie Douglass, this youthful disciple
Of Leather Stocking, says the New
York Recorder, is about 10 years Of
age. He weighs 81 pounds-just trifle
over five times as much as his rife.
This handsome model of the gun.
makers skill he handles as correctly
as does q veteran marksman. He is
very cool and reserved in manner. He
has pair of keen, steel-gray eyes, and
is a youth of striking appearance. His
rife is 22-caliber. Willie Douglass is
very fond of his rife and the sport 1t
affords him. He has medal which
shows his prowess.

to within a foot of the post and fasten
securely to 2x4 scantling (b). Two
long bolts, C, c, of 2X feet or there
abouts, with long threads and burrs,
are placed through the center of the
post. The scantling may be kept in
place by resting on blocks. After the
strands are securely fastened to the
scantlings, with wrench twist the
bolt and draw the wires tight. Two

show Improvement in the horse market

and E. G. Murray OF Springvale. bought
a like number. MIR. Benson had upwards

week. One of the party returned yester-
day. He said they had splendid time even
if the weather was bitter cold the first few
days. He got 1--WE nty-nine fish that weighed
twenty-one pounds. Now for his yarn. He
says he hooked splendid four pound trout
and tried to gather him in. All at once be
felt something ct the end of the line as il
the fish was rubbing his nose against rock.
In few moments he got in his catch and
faund the fish had managed to get rid of the
hook and had wound the line twice about
the branch of tree, into which the hook
WAS inserted.

Burglary at John E. Palmer's.

During Thursday night, or early Fri
day morning, burglars broke into the
area way in the rear of John E. Palner's s
millinery store. The area is i'll Toiman
Place. the front of the store on Congress
street. The burglars clim bed the picket
fence in the area, forced open the grating
of one of the cellar windows, piled up
boxes around it 80 as not to be seen
from the street, opened the basement
window and dropped into the basement
of the store. When they had got into
the storeroom in the absement they
broke the window over the door separat-
ing the store room from the main cellar.
and one of them went through it and
unlocked the door from the inside. In
SO doing he must have cut himself bad
", for there were spots of blood around
the door. When they got up stairs in
the retail room they robbed the money
drawer of some change. They found
some tools and screwdriver in a
drawer, and taking one of the screwdriv-
ers upstairs i'll the Wholesale depart
menr, pried the lock off the money draw
er and got $3.50. 1t was bold burg
larry because an electric light close by
throws it's glow into the area of the store

away and in freeing herself her wrapper
