A Champion Shot.

Lillian F. Smith, who, with Mr.. Frank
Smith, is nightly interesting her audiences
with her skiltu rifle shooting, is quite noted
character in the shooting world. She is par
excellence the champion rifle shot of the
world what others do with the shot gun,
Lillian Smith duplicates and betters with the
rifle
AS an instance; Carver, with scattering
shot gun, smashed 100 balls in 8 minutes
81 seconds; Miss Smith takes 80 seconds to
accomplish the feat with rifle. In six days
shooting, three hours daily, she made 72,SO0
hits against Carvers 10000, shooting day
and night for the same period.
Royalty has honored Miss Smith and her
rifle. Queen Victoria, at special exhibition
at Buffalo Bills" Wild West at Earls Court,
London, asked that the Western girl be in.

a pair of closed eyes, and hushed, silent lips"
The mans voice faltered, than broke. Those
who had been ashamed to rise before, now
got up and offered him seat, but he thank
ed them and refused to accept. Possibly he
thought it unmany for one man to take the
seat of another.
A minute later, however, the ladies to
whom he had given his seat and that of his
boy, signaled the Car to stop; but, before
leaving the one who held the child pressed her
lips to his soiled cheek and squeezed wad
ct something into his little, chubby hands
The man raised his hat as they alighted,
and then resumed his seat ; drawing the boy
toward him, that he might continue his
broken slumber.
Soon those in the car began to get "f one
by one, as they reached their destination
Each one passed out by the rear door and
each dropped tribute into the lap of the man
who would walk fifty miles rather than beg
his passage.
AS these tokens Of sympathy fell. the man
m glanced up deprecatingly, but thankful
donors hastily disappeared. BY the time the
car reached Sixty first street only the man and
the boy remained. Here the boy was aroused
and together they walked trudgngly away.
Soon they stopped and sat upon the edge
of the side walk while the man counted the
money that had been forced upon him the
boy meanwhile watching him with interest
shining from his big brown eyes. When the
count was finishes, both arose and started
back to take the next car downtown.
"Well, Tony said the man, with know
ing look, fourteen dollars and seventy. five
cents isn't very bad for one trip, is it 2"
Without answering directly, the sturdy
little fellow looked up, and with an arch smile
and cunning leer, which betokened the pos
session of hstrionic talent, said :" Say, Pop,
we amt got no KICK comm have we 2"
The old soldier, wifeless and weary, who
had walked fifty miles to bury the dead,
chuckled as he glanced down upon the infant
progidy, and answered :" Well don't
guess yes.

CAL, Lillian was presented, as many ranch
girls are, with small rifle, when ten years
old; the toy however soon prov ed to be more
than play thing, it was speedily noticed, that
she never missed. N eighbors came to watch
her shoot. A barrel of 800 glass balls were
bought, and Lillian practsed every day.
323 balls were hit without miss, and when
the barrel was empty, the count showed,

Carver passed in the night.
Another time, Miss Lillian came 400 miles
down the San Joquin river in small boat
alone to match Carver at San Francisco, but
"Doc" was too willy. Miss Lillian's reputa
ton not being "bubbe" one makes it hard
to find rival Annie Oakley, who posed as
rifle shot though in reality, only user of
the shot gun, could not be persuaded to
make match.
Lillian Smith wears $3.50 medal for any
ambitions shot to win in any kind of con-

or pistol.

one of the feats for next week. Miss Smith
holds the worlds record for this, made at
Tacoma in 42 seconds, besides those of 90

10 balls in rs seconds with single loading
rifle. The rapid firing of % shots in 8
second by Mr.. Smith, although the results
cluster closely round the bulls.eye, are not
record for accurate but speedy shooting.

The pathetic happenings Of life do more,
perhaps, than any thing else to give one half
the world glimpse into the sphere Of the
other half, and help to broaden the mind to
fuller appreciation of duty toward our fellow
beings.
Not long ago, comfortably filled Cottage
Groves was whirling swiftly along south,
when it stopped at Congress street, and two
tered. All seats being taken they stood
moment or two steadying each other, and
vainly attempting to grasp one of the elusive
hand straps, when man rose at the rear end,
and, gently grasping the arm of small boy
sitting next him whispered, Come Tony,
stand up and give the lady your seat"
Then, as the little fellow arose, the man
turned to the ladies and said in an apparently
subdued voice, although it could be heard by
everybody in the car, at the same time
doffing well-worn, dusty, SLOUGH hat:
"a SOLDIER madam, is never too tired to
give his seat to a lady"
As the ladies thanked him and sat down, he
continued:
"We've walked good bit to day, me and
my boy Tony, here, but we both had mothers
and we would not feel comfortable while
somebody else's mothers were standing
Thank you ma'am, it's very kind of you, but
his clothes are dusty from walking so far,
he interrupted himself to say, as the younger
of the ladies lifted the boy, ragged and dirty
as he was into her lap !; then he went on in
more guarded tone, as if not wishing the lad
to hear or understand
"Tony's mother died yesterday down on
the South Side. We were in Aurora, and as
we did not have money enough to ride, have
walked all the way so as to be there to bury
her." His voice trembled, but he quickly
recovered; Meanwhile, the boy had snug
gled his little curley head against the lady's
arm and was, apparantly fast asleep. Her
cloak was soiled by the contact, but this was
not the cause of her wet eyes and tear,
which fell silently upon the boys cheek, ran
down making white furrow through the dust
and CRIME; She was thinking of that mother,
still and cold, who would never again look
,on the face of her boy. Nor were hers the
only wet eyes in that crowded car. Men
who knew no other emotion than Gain vainly
attempted to hide the tears which rose un-
hidden to their eyes. Women wept un-
abashed. They were not ashamsd of sym.
pathetic tears. They could understand, only

helpless child and grief stricken father.

SMALL BOY BEATS OLDER CHAPS
EASILY.
q. C. N. L Factory Race Proves An
interesting Event-E. Davev
Wins Time Prize.

Little Ernest Carlquist had things all
his own way in the z. C. NJ. I. factory
road race to Pennington yesterday.
WI nile out 10 years of age, Ernest
proved that he is a strong speedy rider.
starting with five-minute handicap.
ne made the ten miles in thirty-two
minutes and won the race by nearly a
half-mlle- e. Davey won time prize
from scratch in 30:31 As, being pushed
10 the nnish line by c. H Carlcuist.
who made the course but a second slow
er imam DaVey. Orson Ris~r, the other
scratch man, the man whose rivalry
with Z. II. Carlquist was the moving
cause of the race, slipped the chain
from MS wheel mile after the start
and was unable TO finish
When the observation train reached
the starting place seven miles out Of
the city 1t was loaGed to the guards
with H. c. NJ. l. employees. Six riders
appeared at the scratch. Ernest Carl
qulst and Jack Kendrick were the
! limit men, with five minutes handicap.
Ihey had disappeared over a distant
rise toward Bountiful before the next
man, w. Wilding, was sent away two
and a half minutes later. Then came
/ the scratch men, Orson Riser, c. II.
Carlquist and Z. Davey
Carlquist took the pace Immediately
and kept it for the first mile. when
Davey came UP and passed him Just as
the observation train came laundering
up abreast of the scratch men. Riser
Spurted and caught Davey, but Just as
the train whirled away toward Bounti-
ful station Riser was seen to dismount
and fuss with his wheel for a half
minute. He had it fixed as the train
went out of sight of the riders, but the
other scratch men Were then a half
mile TO the good and Riser was hope
lessly out of the race.
Not until the train neared Center
Vile was anything seen of the others
Then Wilding was passed, riding hard
and apparently as fresh as at the start
Far on ahead of him were two little
bobbing dots. one some distance in ad-
vance of the other. The rear man in a
black suit proved to be Kendrick. His
running mate, Ernest Carlquist. had
evidently outspeeded him, as he was a
good quarter-mile ahead and riding
like little red devil.
The train whisked by these. the lead
ers, and was soon at Pennington, five
minutes and more ahead of the riders
First to come whirling around the
distant corner was little Carlquist. and
he was over the tape and off his wheel
before Wilding, the second man, came
in sight. Kendrick. the third across,
was a half-mile behind Wildfng. He
was dusty and bruised from a bad fail.
Davey and Carlquist, the two surviv-
ing scratch men. came whizzing around
the corner side by side. They had it
nip and tuck down to the finish line,
when Davey sprinted and won out by
a few feet.
Following is the summary of the
