with telling effect.
1t is rumored in military circles that
the artillery sabre is to be abolished
and the cavalry arm adopted in lieu
Western Federation. Those artillery
sabres will be sold at auction chea >
and each miner can arm himself with a
sword at job lot rates. A sword is surer
than a rife, although it would mean
combat at closer quarters, perhaps,
than Boyce and his associates are look
ing for.
Speaking of Boyce, however. reminds
one that since the time he made his
celebrated speech, he has been earnest
ly sought for membership in the Eagle
eye Gun club, of which Jimmy Dickson
is president and H. W. B. Kantne-
secretary. The club at its last meeting
brought UP the subject and it was al
most unanimously agreed that Boyce
must be brought in and initiated into
the mysteries which surround the asso-
citation. Senior Manca wasn't present,
but had a proxy there in the person
OF VIII Young, who objected to the ad
mission of Boyce, on the ground that
as yet he had demonstrated that he
could shoot nothing but his mouth
What we want" said the speaker, lis
man who can shoot a gun. Of
course, while this club is formed to
promote the interests of the shotgun
fraternity especially. for one have no
O. m man who can use a rifle
coming among US. He might be a good
----e - camp IN the event of the az
proach of large game. But so far he
hasn't demonstrated that he knows a
peep sight from a powder horn, nor a
globe sight from a shot bag. 1 doubt if
he ever shot a rife in all his life and
what does this club want with a man
like that? We have too many here
now who are not W to the standard.
(Here Midshipman Kantner glared at
the speaker, while General Jim Bloor
locked mad enough to fight. Dickson,
however, smiled approvingly). / tell
you, Mr. President. this club needs
more shooters of guns than 1t does
shooters of CAB. (Cries of hear, hear.
That's all 1 have to say on this mat
ter"
The chair announced that In the alb
sence of Homer Osborne, he would say
few words in his behalf. While it
wasn't exactly known if this man was
an adept with rifle, that was a mat
ter which could easily be demonstrated.
1t would be a good thing perhaps to ap
point a committee to take him out
somewhere where there would be no
danger of killing any one with stray
shots and give him trial. He would
suggest that as Boyce hadn't bought
any new and improved rifles as yet the
committee take one with il and ex-
plain to the candidate that it was a
rifle; really and truly a rifle. If he
could nit anything with it after a few
trials, it mighGbe good thing to adj
nit him to membership, because if his
advice is followed and $4,000 men buy
rifles, the club could secure enough
from all that number to make it one
of the strongest organizations of the
kind in the world. This suggestion was
acted upon favorably and the chair APP
pointed Kantner and Young to snare
Boyce and put him to the test.
After filming Jack May for non-at-
tendance at the meeting and assessing
Brockbank with the price of supper,
the club decided to meet again as soon
as Boyce was apprehended, and ad-
journed.
An eastern business college is flood
ing the city with pamphlets calculated
to catch the unsuspecting and is offer
ing golden inducements to students
who may attend it, by stating that it
will furnish good paying positions in
New York City, where stenographers
are always in demand at enormous
rates of salary. In this connection it
may be well to state that the schools
of Utah are just as good as the schools
of the east and salaries paid here are
far better than those in New York,
where stenographers walk the streets
hungry in plenty. 1t is a good time to
patronize home industry right now and
let the schools of that character in the
east severely alone % e o
