THE SECOND SHOOT.

When the writer hereof borrowed
his wife's gun and started for the Gun
Club grounds last Friday afternoon,
the gang thought they had their re-
venge for the publication of their
scores in last weeks REGISTER.
They could see US missing about
twenty straight birds and then they
would make US print the score or
leave town. And to tell the truth
that is about what we expected.
Those clay saucers fly mighty swift,
and you never know when they are
going to light or what direction they
are going to take, and they don't look
bigger than a minute over the barrels
of gun. But somehow luck was ON
our side and the way we smashed
those dishes fairly paralyzed the
gang. But you can't always depend
on luck, and we want to say right
nOn II oO OOhllhOO W OClOuS ~
the Gun Club there may arise condi-
tiOns and circumstances under which
we will not feel justified in printing
the individual score!
Fifteen out of the twenty members
of the Club, and two visitors, were on
the grounds and there was good
shot, and. the score was as follows:

They Live In Libraries and Dig Out Facts
for Other People.
Visitors to the Astor library have
there with great regularity, and two or
three faces seem to be as permanent
a feature of the place as the busts and
white columns. These regulars are
there at all hours of the day and at all
seasons of the year. One man in par
ticular seems to spend all his time with
in the walls of the library.
A man whose work on a certain sub
iect took him regularly to the library
made an effort to see what subject was
absorbing one visitor whom he had no.
ticed at work whenever he had been in
the library during the two years pre-
ceding. For a month he observed the
man, and found that during that time
the man had been reading industriously
volumes relating to four different sub
jects. and taking copious notes from
them. He did not look like a man
who was reading for the purpose of
general cultivation, and the books he
had been using varied as widely in sub
ject as the history of the Spanish drama
and the Chinese metaphysics
The hOpelessness of learning any,
thing about the mans occupation from
his own observation led the interested
inquirer to ask one Of the library Off
Gals who the regular visitor was. Then
he learned that the fellow, like many
of the others ne had often noticed al
work in the library, was irregular reader
employed to do for others the read
ing and investigating necessary for
particular work. Usually this man
and others like him are called upon to
dig out only the points relating to GER
tain phases of a subject. but often their
work extends over a much wider range.
They are known to the officials
of the library. and in this. way they
are brought into contact with persons
who are looking about for somebody to
undertake the required labor Of refer
ence and reading.-N. Y. Sun.

trying to escape. The other deaths were
caused by water in homes and the people
were drowned before they could escape.
AT 4:30 a. IN. the wind was abating and
