Gun Club Notes.

Mccormack, the conductor, is
shooting in fine form. He keeps
up gait that only the Sunset
limited can equal.
Kelley, the expert accountant,
makes splendid calculations, but
like a balance sheet, it will vary
sometimes. His eagle eye gen.
orally detects the mistake and he
comes in on the stretch.
Stevens has been dub bed "the
long shot," and like the wrecking
crew, gets in his work when other
shooters think the target too far to
shoot at.
Thiele the club electrician, can
be compared to the lightning. You
can't tell where he will strike.
Chabot, "the china merchant" is
like unto some OF the decorated
ware he carries. A little flowery
but hard to rub out. His lamps
are generally trimmed. Chabot is
small bore crank and shoots a
24.guage.
Hildreth is a beginner. His
shots were added to the coming
lead mine of Texas, the property of
the San Antonio Gun club. Hill
dreth was after stock yesterday,
but could find none thrown on the
market. He shoots the gun he
represents.
Prescott, one of the "has beens"
and bookkeeper by profession, is
known for his patience in waiting
for target to spread its wings to
light ere taking advantage to
smash it.
Fred. Stone, "the foot modeler"
is new beginner at the trap and
is yet to be heard from. Like the
goods he deals in, findings" he
will yet discover, that in order
to fit he must direct his "pattern"
according to the flight Of the
target.
Eppstein, "the CASHIER" little
but loud, is direc ting the point Of
his l6-gange with wonderful pre-
cision and like de tecting a counter
felt bill his eagle eye does not de-
ceive him.

SNAPPED AWAY HIS WIFE.
A Little Family Complication Amicably
Arranged.

A Little Family Complication Amicably
Arranged.
The very unusual story of swapping
a daughter for a wife is reported from
Toledo, Wash, says the New York
World. A farmer named Thompson
lost his wife a short time ago. She left
him a little baby girl. The child he
took to a neighbor by the name of Put
nam to be cared for. OF course fire.
quent visits were made to see how the
baby was getting along.
Mrs. Putnam was quite a comely per-
son and very soon attracted the atten.
ton of the widowed farmer. Then he
soon learned to love her and, worst of
ell, his love was reciprocated. The hus-
band discovered the situation The low
ers naturally expected a scene but there
was none.
Instead of making the neighboring
hills resound with jealous rage Putnam
called upon Thompson and they dis
cussed the matter in business-like
manner. Putnam professed to be tired
of his wife and said he would as lief that
some other fellow would take her away
as not; but he wanted something in re-
turn. He wanted some one around the
house to minister to his wants; som
one he could learn to love. Thompson
had daughter who suited him very
well and, if it was just the same, he was
willing to trade his wife for her. That
suited Thompson and the girl, too. So
a bargain was struck and the exchange
made. Thompson and Mrs Putnam went
to Aberdeen and the girl to Castle Rock

Showing Her Representation in the Use
full Occupation.
A recent census bulletin dealing with
the occupations of the people of the
United States shows that As per cent.
of the persons, male and female, more
than ten years of age, are engaged in
some gainful occupation. The total
number of working people is 22,735,-
Col, of which 1S,S20,950 are men and
3,014,711 women-a gain of 1,267,554
women since 1850, rate of increase
nearly 31R times as great as the in
crease of working men. A study of the
tables in the bulletin reveals some in
teresting comparisons. In 1880 there
was only one woman architect in the
country; in 1890 there were 90. Then
there were but five lawyers; ten years
later there were POS. There were 67
women clergymen in 1880; in 1890, 1885.
The number of actresses increased from
Coz to 3,949; artists and teachers of art
from 412 to 1850; dentists from "a to
337; designers, draughtsmen and in
ventors from 10 to BOG; journalists, IS
to SSS; musicians and teachers of music,
1888 to 34,519; government officials, Ala
to 4,S75; physicians and surgeons, 527
to 1855; teachers, S4,047 to 245,965;
theater managers, showmen, etc, 100
to 634; bookkeepers, accountants,
clerks and copyists, from SOIL to 92,-
s25; stenographers and typewriters,
from 7 to bliss; saleswomen, from
2,775 to 5s,449. There were two veterin-
airy surgeons and 46 chemists and as
sayers in 1890, against none of either in
1850.

N. Wright Quincy Refused Sufferanoe in a
Tony Saloon,
Last night after an Express re-
porter had dallied away an hour IL
the sweet-scented presence on
Wright Quincy, eliciting a column
interview, the latter felt the need
Of a refreshing cocktail. Gather
ing around him his brilliant and
odoriferous coterie of lieutenants,
w. II. Ellis among the number, ne
ssuntered with q beautifully ex-
pressive saunt into Joe Cooley's
Register. The naughty bar keep
became suddenly aware Of row of
negroes, black and tan, lined up
along the bar. The functions of
his nose being thusly outraged, he
promptly said, "scat out o. here,
chocolate drops ~ Quincy demurred,
saying that they were athirst and
would fain drink. This hurt the
barkeep's feelings, and he asked
himself what he had done to de-
serve this. He then informed
Quincy that the establishment
never bartered with that part of
creation that God made at night.
Ellis said he couldn't see why the
idol of a great morning daily
should be refused a drink in COM
mon every day saloon. Quincy
then said his friends should drink,
aud drink then and there, or he
would be-the LIGHT would
blush to tell the courteous reader
what Mr., Quincy said he hoped
would happen to him.
Then began such disturbance
that the presence OF Officer Jim
Bounn was necessary in order to
prevent the peace and dignity OF
the corporation from being shat
tered into small fragments. Quincy
and his crowd were not arrested,
but they departed still in quest of
the refreshing cocktail.

Sheriff Jarvis, of Knox county, passed

Among the prisoners was q young
woman from Knox county, apparently
about % years old, and typical east

"A w. c. I. L. rally will take

On account OF an alleged dis

Considerable uneasiness is be-
coming manifest among fathers of
