Captain Whites Team

AS will be seen by the above score
Sergeant Elvin's team came out ahead
with 10 points. Taken altogether the
scores were very good.
The medal put up by Sergeant Elvin
was won by Captain White, his score
being the highest, as Elvin's did not
count against him.
Corporal Storey was under the i'm
preston that he had a cinch on the
medal. He had 4S nice little points all
made out before the shoot took place
and received every bit of dust from his
sight, but owing to the colored glasses
he wore, the combination failed to ma
terialize and the left half of the E'S''
dropped out.
1t was the intention of Captain White
and Sergeant Elvin to arrange with
Captain Dodge of the Sharpshooters to
select a team of twenty men to shoot
against both teams of Co. B, but owing
to the short time before the day set for
the match, nothing could be done.
1t is hoped by the Co. B men that ar
rangements for shoot with the Sharp
shooters will be made later.

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

Books and Their Makers During the Middle Ages" 2 Vols, $2.5O Vol. 1 now ready
 Authors and Their Public in Ancient Times" second edition revised, 12mo., $1.50.
 Among the many volumes that have come to our book table during the au- tumn there are two which rank, accord ing to F. D. Matrices definition, as books in the truest sense; for they illustrate great periods in the early his- tory of literature. They show what a divine discipline has been at work to form men; they teach us that there is such a discipline at work to form us in- to men; and they cali for word of special notice because they possess a special interest for all book lovers. Hence those who fail to read these vol- umes miss an opportunity of securing much entertaining, useful and curious knowledge. Both volumes bear the inn press of the well known KniclSerboclSer press, and the assurance of the value, and interest, of the subject matter is emphasized by the fact that their au- thor is MT. George Haven Putnam, the senior partner of the firm of c. P. Put nam's Some. It goes without saying that writing, as MT. Putnam does, from the very heart of a great publishing house. his every page breathes of the atmosphere of literary life.
 The smaller of the volumes, Authors and Their Public in Ancient Times, ," appeared several years ago. and the interest it called forth on the part of modern readers soon demanded this revised edition. It deals with the be- ginnings of literature, and in the pre- face MT Putnam tells us he has pre- faced to the study Of literary and pulp fishing undertakings in Athens, Alex andria and Rome. in which cities def mite relations between authors and their public can first be traced, some preliminary sketches concerning the beginnings of literature in Chaldea, Egypt, India, Persia, China and Japan.
 In Books and Their Makers" MT Putnam gives us a careful study of the conditions of the production and distri- button of literature from the fall of the Roman empire to the close of the seventeenth century. MT Phtnam's $ style is always excellent, clear, simple and forcible. His descriptions ire quently combine grace and energy with delightful picturesqueness that makes long by-gone wants vivid and real, as though of recent occurrence. And this

Twenty-Five dollars more went for books and fees, and small additional sum for miscellaneous ex- penses, part of which was for repairs to his bicycle, His balance at the end of the year was $55, although he had indulsed in the extravaganza of $4 for photographs, had remembered the folks at home with $5 worth of Christmas presents, and had given $17 to charity, From this record it may be expected that this young man will make good use of the education he Is working for and of the money which he will earn by it.

.A sENSInLE DECLSI0N.

Not long ago a court in New York city decided against bicyclist who, sued for damages because he was run down by cable car. The court held that the bicyclist was guilty of con tributory negligence in not looking be- hind him. The decision has just been overruled by the appellate division in that city. It is held by the appellate division that a wheelman's duty is to look ahead and that it is impossible for him to take double precaution to save those behind him from taking any.
 certainly good sense. A wheelman is doing his part if he is keeping his eyes open to what is going on in front of him. He can't fairly be expected to be looking backward. And it is fair to ex- pect and require that anybody who is behind him should pay attention enough to the situation to avoid run ming over him. If everybody who uses the road Is careful about what is ahead accidents will be few, and prop CT care about what is ahead doesn't admit of much attention to what is go- ing on behind. If Lots wife had un- derstood and acted on this truth she wouldn't have become so suddenly salty.
