English and American cannon with the
cobwebs left over their mouths. Other let
tiers say that further massacres are feared

having learned that our missionaries were
giving four or five cents day to the desti-

money away by force of taxes, and from
this cause, the letter adds. many are still

Most men pull the gun over to them in shooting, canting it slightly to the left, instead of holding it level and leaning fully over to the line of sight. If you put the gun in a vice and shoot it you will see the difference. Then the line of fire and the line of sight is about the same, but let "a thousand men get out on the range and fire the gun, each one holding it in his own peculiar way, and you find that ninety-nine out of every hundred shoot to the left.

WANTED TO MARRY
How San Francisco's Mayor Came
 Near Making Mistake.

The following good story is told on Mayor Sutro of San Francisco, and which caused the gentleman to blush like school girl who had received her first kiss from an admirer:
 ttIs Mayor Sutro in?" inquired a handsome and richly dressed woman of Secretary Rogers.
 "Yes, the mayor is in.'
 ''I would like to see him, please"
 "He is engaged at present, and un- less it is matter of great importance, I hardly think he can see you within the next hour"
 'It is very important. I want him to marry me"
 MT Rogers almost jumped through the window with surprise, and then tried to look as if it were matter of daily occurrence for young women to ask the hand of the mayor in mar riage. ?
 q will see him in a moment" and MT. Rogers sat down at his desk, un- decided whether Ito ring for the police or consult the mayor, and, while he was studying the situation, he kept his eye open for dynamite and pistols He finally decided to tell the mayor and let him get rid of the young lady the best way he could.
 "A young lady out here wants you to marry her." announced Mr. Rogers
 Hell her I am busy. Is she good looking?"
 Handsome and well dressed"
 'fWait; I will deal with her." and ht walked out into the main office, look ing very austere.
 'Oh, Mayor Sutrom exclaimed thu young lady as she seized his hand, '' want you to marry me. You will won't you?"
 The mayors face relaxed at tn, vision of loveliness that had laid seig to him, and he blushed and lookes confused.
 '1ll-Ill-I'll ask Rogers, my dea girl," he stammered.
 ''But why do you have to ask any one? Now, you will, won't you? want to be married tonight. Really, I hardly feel acquainte with you yet" protested the mayor.
 But that makes no difference; have known you for long time," per sisted the charmer "If do you will always be lovin wife?" and the mayor looked seriou. sOh, yes. I love Charlie so mucf You will come out to our house at this evening and the ceremony wi take place immediately. Charlie an , l thought it would be so nice to l. married by the mayor. Oh, your } awfully kind. Goodbye" 5 Rogers" growled the mayor, eth next time a woman comes here an asks that I marry her, find out whett CT am to do the marrying in y ind vidual or official capacity"
