Wonderful Feat. of shooting.

M. Bordeverry, a Frenchman, can
give most of the crack rifle shots Of the
world several large pointers about their
art. His accuracy and rapidity of aim
are simply astonishing. At distance
of 80 feet he can cut piece of card
board through the edge as it is poised
upon the head of an assistant. At a
similar distance, leaning himself fat on
his back over the seat of a chair, with
a pistol in his hand, he can send spin
ming a threepenny piece which rests,
half hidden, upon his assistants head.
He will knock the ash off your cigar at
a distance Of 80 feet or light your wax
vesta for you, if you care to hold it, At
ten yards he can cut a swinging thread,
and at the same distance, with three
successive shots, he will pick off three
small trifies balanced one upon the
other upon the head of his assistant.

In MemOriam.

On Saturday morning last as the
sun sent its sparkling rays across the
earth the spirit of the long suffering
Mrs. w. G.. Sheets washed itself to
that cline where the sun has risen
never to set. Mrs. Sheets was the
daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Parnum,
well known in Audubon county. She
was born in Lincolnshire, England,
July 8, 1850, and died at her home,
near Old Hamlin, on June 10, '99,
aged As years, IL months and l day.
In 1854 Mr.. Parnum came to America
with his family, settling in Whiteside
county, Illinois, in 1865 removing to
Poweshiek county, Iowa, and later
coming to Audubon county. Decem-
Der l, 1868, she was united in holy
matrimony to her now sorrowing hus-
band. The happy and peaceful union
was blessed with seven children, two
having preceded her to the spirit
world. She leaves to mourn her loss
a husband, three daughters, two sons,
father, mother, three brothers, two
sisters besides many near relatives and
friends.
Sabbath morning was demonstrated
the respect and esteem Mr.. Sheets and
his devoted wife have in the hearts of
| those who know them. At half past
ten large concourse of friends from
far and near gathered at the home to
gaze tor the last time on the remains
Of the mortal. After short service
a. the house large procession follow
ed the remains to the Evangelical
church, in Audubon, where Rev. L
H. Humphrey delivered an excellent
sermon on the Immortality Of the Soul.
His remarks were plain and kind, full
Of earnestness and impressed all pres
sent with being ready for coming OF
| the Lord, also comforting and cheer
ing to the mourners. Her pastor,
Rev. Conner, read short obituary,
followed by some remarks pertainin-
ing to the life OF the departed saint
Early in life she sought and found the
Master and has ever since been fol-
lower of the Lamb of God She was
q devoted wife and atfectionate moth
er and friend to all who were in
distress. Truly it could be said of her
"She has done whatshe could" Inter-
ment was made in the beautiful Gem
etery on the hill. We commend the
spirit unto the hands Of the loving
God, and the mourners to the grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ. Another
has passed from labor to her reward

1t is Bath physician who tells the
following:
''some time ago happened to spend
the night in country town not far
from Bath, and it happened that there
was stopping at the same hotel an

during the course of the evening he
told me of some of the marvellous opera

case in particular he spoke of that

WORRY.
What Thfn Foolish, Enervnting Hab-
1t Does For Mankind.

II DOCS For mankind.
Worry is forethought gone to seed.
Worry is discounting possible future
sorrows SO that the individual may
have present misery. Worry is the ia
Their of insomnia. Worry is the traitor
in our camp that dampens our powder,
weakens our aim. Under the guise Of
helping US to bear the present and to
be ready for the future worry multi
plies enemies within our mind to sap
our strength.
Worry is the dominance of the mind
by single, vague, restless, unsatisfed,
fearing and fearful idea. The mental
energy and force that should be concen-
trated on the successive duties of the
day is constantly and surreptitiously
distracted and absorbed by this one fix
ed idea. The full, rich strength of the
unconscious working of the mind, that
which produces our best success, that
represents our finest activity, is tapped,
led away and wasted on worry.
Worry must not be confused with
anxiety, though both words agree in
meaning originally, Choking or a
"strangling, referring, of course, to
the throttling effect upon individual
activity. Anxiety faces large issues of
life seriously, calmly, with dignity.
Anxiety always suggests hopeful posi-
bility; it is active in being ready and
devising measures to meet the outcome.
Worry is not one large individual sor-
row; it is colony of petty, vague, in
significant restless, imps of fear, that
become important only from their COM
bination, their constancy, their itera-
ton. William George Jordan in The
Saturday Evening Post.

Liszt.. Agonx of sensitixeness.

"Liszt had already played a great
fantasia OF his own and Beethoven S
twenty seventh sonata in the former
part of the concert. After this latter
piece he gasped with emotion as l took
his hand and thanked him for the di-
vine energy he had shed forth. AT last
l had managed to pierce the crowd and
I sat in the orchestra. My chair was on
the same board as LISTS piano when
the final piece began. 1t was duet for
two instruments, beginning with Men
delssohn's Chants Sans Paroles and
proceeding to work of LISTS. We
had already passed the delicious chime
of the Song Written In a Gondola.
Gas the closing strains began I saw
LISTS countenance assume that agony
of expression, mingled with radiant
smiles of joy, which l never saw on
any other human face; only in the
paintings of our Saviour by some of the
early masters. His hands rushed over
the keys, the floor on which sat shook
like wire, and the whole audience
was wrapped in sound, when the hand
and frame of the artist gave way; he
tainted in the arms of the friend who
was turning over for him, and we bore
him out in strong fit Of Mysteries.
1.-The effect Of this scene was really
dreadful. The whole room sat breath
less with fear, until Hitler came for
ward and announced that List was al
ready restored to consciousness and was
comparatively well again. AS handed

both trembled like poplar leaves, and l

AN HONEST INDIAN.
A Singular Experience with Arapoo-

Arapooish, chief of the Grow Indians,
was man of wonderful influence. In

straining the evil propensities of his
braves. Mr.. Robert Campbell, while a
guest in the lodge of Arapooish, had
collected large quantity of furs and,
fearful of being plundered, had deposit
ed but part in the lodge. The rest he
buried.
One night Arapooish entered the
lodge with a cloudy brow and, turning
to Campbell, said:
"1ou have more furs with you than
you have brought to my lodge?''
81 have, +" replied Campbell.
"Where are they p
Campbell described the place
" lis we'll, !" said Arapooish. "You
speak straight. But your cache has been
robbed. Go and see how many skins
have been taken"
Campbell examined the cache and
estimated his loss to be about $50 bea.
Yer skins.
Arapooish summoned his people, re.
preached them for robbing guest and
commanded that the skins should be
brought back. For himself, he would
not eat or drink till all had been re-
stored
Soon the skins began to come in.
They We're laid down in the lodge, and
those who brought them departed with
out word. Arapooish sat in one cor.
ner silent Above hundred pelts We're
brought in, and Campbell expressed
himself satisfied. Not so the Crow chief
tain. He tasted all night. In the morn
ing more skins were brought in, and
one and two at time they continued to
come through the day.

pooish.
"All is right, :" replied Campbell.
Good! Now bring me meat and
drink" said the old chief.

The Foot of n Horse.

The foot of horse is one of the most
ingenious and une1ampled pieces of
mechanism in animal structure. The
hoof contains a series of vertical and
thin lamina of horn, amounting to
about 500 and forming a complete lin
ing to it. In this are fitted as many
lamin@ belonging to the coffin bone,
while both sets are elastic and adherent.
The edge of quire of paper, inserted
leaf by leaf into another, will convey a
sufficient idea of the arrangement
Thus the weight of the animal is sup
ported by as many elastic springs as
there are lamin@ in all the feet,
amounting to about 1000, distributed
in the most secure manner, since every
spring is acted on in an oblique direc-
