EXPERT MARKSMANSHIP.
shown In a shooting Gallery by .
Fighter OF Out
laws.

James Kelsey, member of the Wy
oming sheriff's posse which recently
pursued several Southern Pacific train
robbers through the DEVILS Hole coun-
try, in the western part of that state,
and who was one of the men who en-
gagged the outlaws in battle, was in
Minneapolis one day lately on his way
east, where his parents reside.
Tall, broad-shouldered, straight as
an Indian, and tanned to deep brown
by the western winds and the sun, Kel-
sey attracted considerable attention as
he walked up Nicollet avenue in the aft
ernoon with friend. His dress was
not such as would be looked for on a
man from the country where outlaw
hunting is common sport; instead he
looked more like well-to-do business
man from a country town.
"rhese the largest rifles you haveT'
he asked, as he dropped into shooting
gallery in Nicollet avenue and picked
up one of the little guns, at which he
gazed in a somewhat contemptuous
manner.
"They are big enough for you," re-
sponded the attendant. IF you can
shoot at all you can shoot with that
gun as well as with bigger one"
Load her up and I'll give the targets
a whirl," said Kelsey, with laugh, as
he laid a quarter on the counter.
As the attendant handed the gun to
the man and noted the awkward man
ner in which he took it he remarked, in
an undertone, TO bystander:
"Get on to the 'greenie.' I'll bet he
can't hit anything"
When Kelsey turned loose with the
rifle a blank look came into the face of
the attendant, and he gasped for
breath. A sheet of solid fame seemed
to issue from the muzzle of the rife, so
fast did Kelsey work the lever and pull
the trigger. All the bells on the targets
were set ringing, for every time bull
let struck it hit bull's-eye, and the
steady ping of the bits of lead as they
landed was just trihe disconcerting
to the shooting gallery man after his
remark that the shooter was a
"greenie."
Think I'll do?" asked Kelsey, as he
finally lowered the rife and handed ii
back to the attendant. That's only
child's play" he added; "out in my
country a man who can't do that every
day in the week, drunk or sober, is
counted n pretty poor stick"
The admiring glances of the crowd
that had gathered followed Kelsey as
he continued his walk up the street. No
one present knew his name, but all
agreed that he would do, any spot he
might be placed.-Minneapolis Trib'
une.

The stranger bowed reverently and
left the room. Fifteen minutes later he
was comfortably seated in the state

II couldn't tell her." he unused; "the
shock would have been too great. 1t
was a long time ago, but it all comes
back to me now. How well remember
the night when Fedora aud wrote that
note and signed the captains name.
And the letter from the consul-that
was what puzzled us for awhile, till we
found that old planter from South
America, who had been educated in
England. He wasn't afraid to risk the
forgery-and SO it went. And then the
mail-that is, part of the mail that we
sent back; l always had a curiosity TO
know what was in some of those letters.

No-she said she didn't love me. Which

A SONG FOR HE NOBLE

Love fer the noble woman
Who strokes the soldiers head.
Who lean. as sweet. white angel
Above the soldiers he'd
Who kree,s ard who prays beside him,
- WHO ClcseS the soldiers eyes,
Who sifeSl1, the loved fas DER him
When the wear. iier dies.
Cheers for the noble woman
Who opens her palace door
To the lame and the sick and tAe hungry.
Who gives Of her worldly store
That others who toll. who suffer
Ey focd or by fire may know
That God on His throne still watches
And judges the high and the low.
Praise for the noble woman
Who visits the haunts Of sin.
To teach and TO win where angels
Alone might hope to win;
Who puts away worldly pleasures,
And lsbors that others may live
To her n terrestrial glory!
All the honor men have to give!
And cheers for the noble woman
Who hides no jewels away,
Who complaeently pays her taxes
As the law would compel her 10 payi
She smoothes the rough road Of the toiler
She eases the burdens that bear
On the sick and the lame and the hungry
And the Lord up above is aware!
The sightless, the orphaned. the helpless
May cherish her name with the great
Who stand for their homes and country
Whose duty is first TO the state!
He is noble who falls while preserving
The rights that are precious to you
'Tis noble to do Just your duty
As an honest citizen. too!

Pretty ThInRs to Menr.

A japanese woman's idea of correct
ness in dress is TO have bit of lace or
embroideryof European chemise show
where her kimona opens at the neck.
The genuine French chemise is short
and has no trimming around the bot
tom. 1t falls without fullness from the
neck.
Colored baby ribbon is proper as
drawing strings in underwear. The
more ribbon the fussier and prettier.
Nainsook is considered by the best
dressed women the most desirable fo'

Worship,

"These biscuits are rather heavy" he
observed.
His wife burst into tears.
"Then you do not worship me any
more!" she sobbed.
Higher criticism is not incompatible

unreproachfully.
We live in liberal age, and how vain
It is to stand out against tendencies!
