Two Stories About the Late sergt.
Stewart of the sixty Ninth.
Some Of the veterans of the state
rifle range were sitting around in the
restaurant lobby during the dinner
hour at Creedmoor last week, indulg-
ing in "reminiscences. Tim Scully, who
has served up ~"victuals and drink" at
the range for the past twenty-one
years, vas speaking: when Sergt.
Stewart of the SiXty-ninth died last
month";" he said, zone of the most ia
nous shots of Creedmoor passed
away. l remember one day three of us
were standing on the porch out there
discussing off-hand shooting. l sug-
gested that a man might make ten
bulls-eyes on the expert range, but
target at 100 yards. Sergt. Stewart
scoffed at the idea, and, pointing to the
lignum vitae ball on the top of the flag
staff, 200 feet away, offered to wager a
ten-dollar bill that he could hit it in
three shots without using any sight at
all. lIC wager WIS ldlu anu O6TSC.
Stewart blazed away. At the first shot
a discussion arose as to whether or
not the ball had been hit, Some of us
said it had and some said it hadn't.
Well said Sergt. Stewart, I have two
more shots yet The second shot we
all agreed was a miss. The sergeant
pulled up his piece for the third and
last shot, and when he fired, knocked
the ball off the pole. When we picked
it up we found all three bullets i'm
bedded in it," 1t is said that on an
other occasion a certain general who
was anxious to become a sharpshooter
was scoring misses one after the
other. He was about to give it up in
despair when one of his friends called
Sergt. Stewart to the generals aid.
The sergeant took his position in front
of a nearby target and shot into the
generals target, while the general
had been given a tip to fire over the
fence. The record showed that the
general had made five bulls" while
many wondered that Sergt, Stewart,
the famous shot, should have missed
his target five times handrunning.-

VIII someone kindly breed up a
strain of turkeys that will stay at
nome? Such a strain would be of ines
tlmable benefit to the country at large,
though it would undoubtedly result in
bringing the price of turkey meat down
to hat of chicken meat or even below,
AT present the roaming disposition
or the turkey makes it decidedly I'M
safe to attempt to raise turkeys ex-
cept where they can be given the run
OF a large area. This, of course, makes
1t possible for the people situated on
large farms to have a monopoly of
the business. Many farms there are
where there is a vast amount Of land
that is cheap because it cannot be
used for anything in the way of plant
growth. Yet such semi-wild lands
Will do well enough to exercise the
turkey upon. There are many farm
ers occupying lands of the above de-
%scription whose wives and children
might make a neat little sum each
year raising turkeys.
The disposition to roam may BIO al
lowed to exercise itself fully except at
times Of wet Of cold, when it is better
to keep the turkeys in, especially II
there are any very young turkeys in
the flock. Many cases of the roup and
like diseases develop from exposure,
and many a young turkey is killed
by being dragged by the old birds
through the wet grass. With precau-
lions on this line turkey-raising is q
simple matter.

South American Pickpockets

Practice makes perfect even in
wrong-doing and in the use of what
seem to be very awkward means. A
writer in the Boston Transcript says:
The Gauchos, or jewellers, on the x
tensive plains of Buenos Ayres, are
m~arvelously dexterous with both
hands and feet. Many of them have
acquired, through long practice, such
skill in using their toes instead of
fingers that they can fling the lasso
and even pick pockets with them.
Some time ago a Frenchman, who was
fishing in one of the rivers of Buenos
Ayres, was warned to be On his guard
against the light fingered natives. He
forthwith kept a vigilant watch upon
his companions, but, nevertheless, one
day when his attention was closely
riveted on his float, a willy Gaucho
drew near and d~elicately inserting his
foot, extracted the F~renchman's hooks
and other valuable from his pocket.

CHARACTER IN WALKING.

Quick steps are indicative Of energy

Tip-toe walking symbolizes surprise,
curiosity, discretion, or mystery.
Turned-in toes are often found with
pr~e-occupied, absent-minded persons.
The miser's walk is represented as
STOPPING, noiseless, with short, nerv-
ous, anxious steps.
Slow steps, whether long or short.
suggest a gentle or reflective state of
mind, as the case may be.
Where a revengeful purpose is hid,
den under a feigned smile the step will
be sinking and noiseless.
The proud step is slow and meas
ured; the toes are conspicuously turn
ed out; the legs Strengthened.
The direction Of the steps wavering
and following every changing impulse
Of the mind inevitably betrays uncer-
tainty, hesitation and INDIGESTION.
Obstinate people, who in argument.
rely more on m%uscularity than on in
tellectual power, rest the feet fatty and
firmly on the ground, walk heavily and
slowly, and stand with the legs firmly.
