MUST KNOW HIS GUN.
A Man Can't Pick Up nm Unknown
Rife and shoot with Any
Accuracy.

mo two high-power, small-caliber
rifles carry alike" said one of the best
amateur shots of this section, reports
the New Orleans Times-Democrat. 1T
seems to be impossible to get them ex-
actly uniform, and the consequence is
that it is necessary for man to get
thoroughly acquainted with his weapon
before he can make anything like de-
cent score. / was out with few friends
the other day, and we tried three new
small-caliber sporting rihes-the larg-
est about 81. The difference in the
drift or tendency of the bullet to go
either to the right or the left of the tar
get, was something remarkable. Then,
again, they seem to act very arbitrarily
under differentiated charges of pow
der, and until one finds out by actual
experience there is no telling exactly
what they are going to do. do not re-
gard this as q serious objection to the
arm, but merely as proving that 1t Is
necessary, as I said before, for every
man to make a close study of his own
particular gun. When you become ia
miliar with its eccentricities and make
your calculations accordingly they cut
no special figure in results. This fact
renders enough practice absolutely
essential with new troops who carry the
krag- jorgensen. The time has gone by
when soldier can pick up any old gun
and shoot as well with it as the next
fellow. Under the new order of things
two troopers may pull down on exactly
the same spot and kill couple of Fill
pinos three yards apart. To perform
such feat each fellow must know the
direction of the drift of the krag' he
happens to be using. By the way, there
is good deal just at present for in
ventors in the line of compromising
sights, which will mechanically adjust
such differences as l have mentioned"

A Former Kannns Man,s Trick.

Jacob Spidell, who was killed few
days ago at Manchester, Oklahoma,
once lived in little town near Ness
City, Kan, and was one of the leaders
in the county seat fight. He thought
his town was going to win, and placed a
goodsized mortgage on property he
had. One of his children died, and
Spidell buried the child in the plot, and
prevented the mortgage company from
foreclosing it on the ground that it was
burying ground. The company lost
the interest it had in the tract by Spid-
ellis shrewd trick.--Kansas City Star.

performance, prominent local Elks donning
the burnt cork and curly wigs. Tickets
have been placed on sale, which may be

the board is opened at o'clock a. m.

morning will be the usual conspicuous
pageant and the entire lodge will appear
therein. The local lodge expects to enter
tain on that day visiting Elks from all over

tainments having attracted many from other
herds.
