his keeping both eyes open.
The Kind Of "Bead" to Draw.
So. therefore. let US proceed to the kind
Of bead to draw. The sights best
adapted to all-rourd shooting are the plain
notch and pin-head. The wide rear sight
herewith shows to advantage in all close
shooting. The sight itself is an inch wide
and SO made and placed on the PISTOL that
its upper edge establishes the leveling Of
the piece. Rear sights that are too mar

On this rear sight q true half circle notch
is made exactly in the middle; and SO
reamed out from the front that Its edges
are sharp and thus cut clear to the eye.

and. with the lungs thus comfortably full
hold steadily without straining mind or
muscle, and press the trigger at the su-
preme moment
The duelling code in America called for
twelve measured yards where pistols were
used. 1t was therefore altogether natural
that when gentlemen took an active IN
terest in pistol practice the old-established
distance would be adopted. even though
the shooting at -one another was no longer
contemplated.
At twelve yards. therefore. in this coun-
try there has been very considerable prac-
tee, and records made here in deliberate
aim matches are probably the best made
anywhere, any time, at this distance.
Some Remarkable Scores.
Muzzle-loadng. large caliber. smooth
bores. practically identical with our grand
fathers duelling pistols. were used twenty
years ago, and although excellent shots

yards they shot WELL if carefully charged.

There il IN old legend to the effect
that st. Patrick banished all reptiles
from Ireland by beating . drum, but
no one. probably, seriously believes
the story. Acc ording to the myth, he
took his drum out for the purpose
mentioned and commenced pounding
it 90 vigorously that he knocked hole
in the drumhead, thus seriously en-
dangering the success Of the miracle.
While bordering what to do, St. Pat
rick was astonished by the appearance
Of an angel, who immediately set to
work to mend the broken musical in
strument After the hole had been
mended the angel vanished. and St
Patrick continued the work of SER
pent-banishing, being successful in
! idding the island Of every representa-
tive Of the snake tribe except one old
slayer who had lived 20 long that his
tusks protruded from his mouth like
horns. The monster refused to leave
the ''land OF his fathers, and the good
saint resolved to practice little piece
of strategy. He removed the patch
which tho angel had put on the drum
head and then persuaded tho serpent
to creep into the drum for the night.
When the reptile had done ~ request
ed, St. Patrick glued down the magic
patch and then threw drum, serpent
and al into the sea. A sunken bowlder
OF the west coast of Ireland il called
"St. Patrick's Drum."-St. Louis Re-
public.

4 Faithful Deg That Killed the Nar1ssoe
q nis Master.
A brilliant illustration of the fidelity
of his race was tho dog 1t the court Of
Charles ". Of France. who avenged his
masters murder. There wers two
young men Of high social position ut
court who hated one another cordially.
because they were the rivals for the
hand Of the same fair lady. The IA
vored lover, whom we will call tho
marquis, suddenly disappeared A
good deal Of anxiety was felt Ut court,
for the missing man was very general.
~ liked. Now the marquis had mag
nidcent stag-hound, who had always
unaffected great devotion to his
master. General attention WAS
drawn to this animal BY his
extraordinary conduct after the dis
appearance. He no sooner saw the
courtier who had been his masters
rival than he Jew at his throat, and
would have torn him in pieces but for
the interference Of bystanders. The
dog was dragged away with great
difacultys and kept chained for some
time He was % gentle with his keep
ers that they concluded, after . few
days, to let him loose. The dog, find.
ing himself at liberty, Immediately
sought out the courtier, and would
have attacked him as on the former oc-
cssion, but that gentleman saw him
coming. and rushing to his room, shut
himself In.
This persistent enmity on the dogs
part aroused suspician against the RI
val of the marquis. 1t was limited that
the latter had been the victim Of foul
play. The august countenance frown-
ed; the court ladies whispered To-
gether and drew haughtily aside ~ the
suspected man passed by. The gentle
men Of the royal household looked
coldly upon him; he found himself
alone 1t the hunt, unpledged. and
avoided 1t the feast This state Of
things could not be endured, 20 he
petitioned the king that tho matter
might be put to trial by combat be-
tween the stag-hound and himself
Charles granted the request, and the
combat took place. Tho gentleman
was armed. and the dog had only such
weapons a. nature had given him.
Nevertheless, the animal defeated his
antagonist. and would have killed him.
but the king ordered his men to inter-
fere. As the courtier lay dying from
the wounds inflicted by the noble but
ferocious dog, he was overtaken by
remorse, and confessed that he was in
truth the muir derer of his rival.-St
Louis Republic.
