A Texas military company was out
ON the range practicing at rifle shoot
ing. The lieutenant in command sud-

shooting, and seizing gun from one Of
the privates cried sharply:
"I'll show you fellows how to shoot. I"
Taking long aim, and a strong aim,
and an aim altogether, he fired and
missed Coolly turning to the private
who owned the gun, he said:
"That's the way you shoot"
He again loaded the weapon and
missed. Turning to the second man in
the ranks, he remarked:
"That's the way you shoot"
In this way he missed about dozen
times, illustrating to each soldier his
personal incapacity, and finally he acci-
dentally hit the target.
"And that" he calculated, handing
the gun back to the private, "is the
